When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.Spicing Up the CommunitySince 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock. Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

From the moment we entered the restaurant we were looked after very well by cheerful, polite staff. We were not rushed, neither were we left waiting for service, the timings were perfect. The food was exceptional and the wine was good.

Excellent food, attentive service and nice atmosphere. Was quite loud but not overly so. Food was exceptional, loads of vegan options for me. I had the ital curry with rice and peas, plantain and slaw - was so tasty and filling. Also had a veg patty which was incredible. Service was very good considering how busy it was. Price was very reasonable, would definitely recommend and I will be back!
