Local neighborhood eatery blending the flavors of Jamaica and Britain with a little New York attitude.
“I’ve eaten here multiple times and have literally never been disappointed! Everything is delicious, the vibes are perfect, the staff is friendly, prices are fair. Will be back many, many times!!”
“An absolutely fantastic experience! My pancakes were delicious, and my sister declared her shrimp and parmesan grits the “best meal I've had all weekend.” The service was equally impressive—prompt and accurate. Highly recommend this spot!”
“This place is IT! We decided to try this place for brunch and we were completely blown away— the initial impression was something to write about. The place was clean the decor was lovely, albeit small, the service was impeccable and the food, sublime, even the playlist was relative and played a role in our food experience. The carafe of ginger mimosa was refreshing and I felt my palate tickled with every sweet sip. The soup was a first, and a beautiful one. It was smooth creamy and delicious ! All the appetizers were spot-on in flavor presentation and taste. The entrees were delightful, I loved the festivals, they tasted just the way I expected them to. Yum! The grits were filling and velvety and the flavor was mild, the tacos are worth the try, the kale was not soft at all, it had a nice crunch in every bite and you could just taste the health in every bite. The bread pudding was out of this world! You have to try it! This place is the perfect place for nostalgic Jamaican food, or some authentic NYC eats. Check out the pics. Go to Edge, don’t walk, run!”
“Great service and a very welcoming team. Even without a reservation on a busy brunch, sitting at the bar felt perfectly cozy. My friend and I were craving the grits and they definitely hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back and checking out more of the menu.”
“I wanted to love this place so badly!! The ambiance and service were wonderful!!! This was my first time in Harlem and I was excited to try this Caribbean spot. I ordered the Jerk Chicken and waffles, and was surprisingly underwhelmed. The jerk chicken was dry and got cold quickly. It also could have used a bit more spices to bring out the flavor. The waffles were soft, which I liked, but everything got cold really quickly. My friend also didn’t finish her burger (and she’s Caribbean 🥴) The codfish fritters were the best thing I had and would order them again. The atmosphere was great, music was a vibe, the service was wonderful! Just wish the food hit like everything else did as well.”
