Description
Founded in 2003 by Persaud and Harrinarine Jagnarine, the kitchen features spiced plates like curry shrimp and cassava fries. The menu is strictly savory, skipping desserts like rum cake. For takeout, dishes are packaged in Tupperware-style bowls, meaning you will need your own kitchenware. While the seasoning gets high marks, the experience can come with some friction, from inconsistent wait times for simple sides to occasional service lapses.
