Description

This family-run counter has an old-school neighborhood feel, complete with music playing and a TV in the background. It is a casual spot to sit down or take out hearty West Indian dishes. Alongside the daily breads, the kitchen turns out tender curry goat, savory oxtail, tamarind wings, and baked macaroni pie. The house-made tamarind sauce is a popular addition, and the portions are large for the price. While the staff is welcoming, visitors should note that long wait times and occasional inconsistencies in the kitchen can occur.
