Great food hidden away

We went here after reading a good review in Atlanta magazine. My husband & I love to try new places, and this was nearby (I think there used to be an Indian place there?). J-rk chicken was awesome - best I've had in US - and the chicken curry was good too, if slightly less flavorful. Sweet potatoe fries were a nice compliment to the whole thing, but needed salt. The whole atmosphere really made me jones for a caribbean vacation! Yes, service was slow, but the place was empty on a Friday night so it wasn't hard to flag down the only waiter when we needed him. One word of warning - this is true j-rk chicken, not the boneless-skinless breast meat variety you find in Americanized restaurants. Don't go with someone who is picky about white meat only, and cringes at eating meat off the bone. But definately order a beer and enjoy some good food.

(someone tell citysearch that j-rk is not a bad word!)

• Pros: Real caribbean food, casual, great prices
• Cons: Limited menu, slow service
