Why Travelers Love Bahamian Cookin'
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Everything was great here! We tried many dishes and all of them were delicious. The service was excellent, both of the girls were very nice and provided so much information about the traditional dish (conch) and gave the best recommendations including the dessert Guava Duff with rum. They even recommended other places to visit in the island as we’re staying for a week. We tried the conch fritters, lobster salad, grouper fingers, broil grouper, and chicken fingers (all entrees include rice and two sides). Our favorite was the grouper fingers with rice n peas. The guava duff is a dessert not available anywhere so I would recommend trying it (with rum if possible). I loved the local ambience. The prices are affordable and better in comparison to other touristy restaurants. After walking all around Nassau we were looking for some good home cooking . This place was awesome. Nice cool AC inside. Delicious mac and cheese, conch fritters, cracked conch and curry chicken. Good service. Loved it! We really liked this spot. The young man welcomed us warmly and taught us how to pronounce Bahamian food and drink correctly. The guava duff and conch fritters are delicious! It seems like the perfect take out spot, but we sat down and chilled to beat the heat.

Loved this place!!! The waitress was amazing. We weren't sure what to get. She told us to get the cracked conch and made us get different drinks to get a taste of everything.

Great food, but OK service. We ordered their fried chicken and grouper fish fingers - both were delicious and cooked to perfection (not overcooked or oily). Their peas n' rice were good, but not the best I've had on the Island. Their conch fritters were good, but could definitely use more conch in them. They are popular and busy, so it will take time to get your food. If you're in a rush, you might want to skip this place.
