Hot Spot Jamaican American Cuisine

This restaurant is fantastic. Although the wait can be longer than expected, it's definitely worth it. Be sure to check out the dishes featured in the New York Post; they're superb. Overall, it's a great spot to dine!

I absolutely love their food; they serve some of the best Caribbean cuisine in Albany. I could enjoy their jerk chicken every single day. The only downside is that it can be a bit spicy, but paired with the plantains and a Jamaican soda to balance it out, it's a fantastic experience. You can't go wrong!

Everything was absolutely delicious! Taste and everything. I ordered the small oxen tail plate and it was delicious, the curtains were on point and the rice was perfectly cooked. I also ordered the Mac and cheese that was 10/10. The sweet potato cake was good, but nothing revolutionary... back to the oxtail and the reasons I could not give a 5-star rating... There were bone fragments and splinters over which it was very difficult to eat and enjoy. I often had oxtail before and never experienced it like that... Maybe it's just a fuke or something, but it def has taken off the overall experience. Also for the price to get only 4 pieces of meat, although they were meaty, was also a little disappointing when I get a lot more meat at a lower cost from other places. But then others... I would give them def to go another as the flavors were all amazing! I probably would have forgotten the price and given 5 stars if I was actually able to eat the meat.

Yeah Mon! LOL The restaurant seems hidden in space but trust me Rasta; All The food is delicious and that Curry Chicken goes down hot big Up vincent Mon!. My only suggestion is Vincent; you have to find a way to bring food out quickly; you CANNOT have Customers waiting for 30 minutes.

Excellent Curry goat, cabbage and plantains. Not so good chicken wings so I recommend you stick with the authentic Jamaican dishes which are excellent!!
