Nalo's is in Monterey this weekend (9/27-29). For the Monterey Jazz Festival They do not have good customer service. We stood in line for quite a while. Food orders took over 40 minutes to serve customers. Staff members with two French braids is rude and nasty attitude. Food is subpar, and orders are not exactly what was ordered

Took a long time to get our combo plate & machines weren't working . Asked us to Apple Pay directly which sounds sketchy .Bbq pork burnt, sauce tasted like Sugar Ray's bbq sauce , price costs double of what they charge at restaurant, overall disappointed with their food @ Faction Brewing

Full transparency, I've only eaten here once but this curried goat is delicious! The goat is not gamey at all, and the curry is full of flavor & kick! My plantain were cooked to perfection. The chef owner is a nice guy. I'll be back for some jerk and callaloo!

I ordered 3 different plates one with conch, oxtails and honey jerk wings. For sides we had fries, Mac and Cheese, plantain, rice and peas and slaw. The fries were delicious just how I like them but I didn't care for the slaw. The guy who served us had a cool demeanor. I plan on going back again soon.

Was craving Caribbean style curried conch. It's been a hot second since I've made my way east. Nalo's hit the spot. You know the place is legit when they serve Ting.Super flavorful. Conch meat was tender and not overcooked. Cannot complain in the least. Will order again

Oakland just ain't got no good Jamaican. I was served cold mac and cheese The oxtails is not Jamaican oxtails, no spices at all like where the spices at. The rice and peas... the peas are canned the rice no flavor taste like plain white rice. Should have known when I didn't see beef patties on the menu!

Ordered Jerk Chicken and got bar-be-que chicken instead. The escovitch fish was swimming with vinegar. I received TWO pieces of broccoli and cauliflower as mixed vegetable. Needs improvement. Also, the curry goat entree does not suit the price tag of 15 USD. As a Jamaican, this place has let me down. Needs improvement!
