The Calypso Rose Reviews
Ginger drink and beef patty
The food is really delicious. I ordered the bowl for $13. Rice. chicken stew and fried plantains. The food is really fresh too.
Mimi was great. I love J*** chicken and I know what it tastes like. I've had it in Jamaica too. This was no where near the taste and was just bland baked chicken with bland yellow rice and a few peas. I didn't bother with the small condiments, because I shouldn't have needed them. The meal was plentiful and I will doctor it up tomorrow for leftovers. I make tastier chicken with the j*** chicken seasonings I buy from the Jamaican market in Oakland.
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.
