The Calypso Rose is a restaurant known for its vegetarian black bean soup, which is hearty, warm, and perfectly spiced. The soup has received high praise, even from meat lovers. The jerk chicken plate, while juicy and not bad, has been described as more BBQ-like than traditional jerk chicken, with the yellow rice being bland. However, the plantains have been consistently praised as delicious. The restaurant also offers a bowl with stewed chicken, rice, and plantains for $13, which is noted for its freshness and flavor. The oxtails are a popular item, although they can sell out.
