Description

Behind the counter of this open-concept space, you can see directly into the kitchen where dishes from Guyana and Jamaica are prepped. The menu pairs generous portions of curry chicken, oxtail, and roti wraps with a bakery counter stocked with plait bread, cheese rolls, and tarts. The pastry cases are a primary draw here, featuring savory chicken patties and cassava alongside cups of sorrel.
