Calypso Mama Caribbean Cafe

I just wish they were open more days of the week. They also sometimes aren’t open on the days it says. Other than that the food and customer service is AMAZING !!

Usually the woman at the front is nice but this time she was pushy, rude and definitely made us wait because she was eating in the back… could see her through the door. The food is also usually good when we come into town and visit but this time we paid a healthy price for bone and fat.. no oxtail meat.. literally just bone and fat on it.. the only good thing was the rice and beans and the Mac & cheese. The cabbage tasted like soap.

I'm a truck driver and I truly wanted something good to eat. I called them up to place my order because they close early. I'm a Trini to de bone ??. The macaroni pie and cabbage was amazing. The shrimp roti was just what my belly wanted. ? I was totally satisfied with everything. Please visit this place. It's a hidden gem. Everything was so tasty.

Vegetarian options: They are quite a few options

My 1st time here. They had no fish, no curry goat & no plantains. But they make your food to order; my curry chicken, cabbage & curry potatoes were delicious! The ladies were friendly & efficient. The cook came out to update us on the timeline of our orders. I'll definitely return!

Parking: It's ok but u sometimes have to make ur own spots but it's spacious.

This is simpl based off their food, because the service was on point. But the food is a no for me. I ordered the ordered the Jerk Chicken. Nasty, not tender and definitely was not fall off the bone like it should be. Entirely too sweet with a slight spice to it

My cousins and I walked in to Calypso Mama after a day of hanging out. I don’t feel like we walked in being obnoxious or anything like that. I don’t know what it was we could have done to deserve such rude service from the young lady at the register. I’m don’t consider myself to be a rude customer but as soon as she started with what seemed like an attitude I felt my whole demeanor change to match her energy?. Also, the music was quite loud and we were having a hard time hearing one another, so that was definitely a challenge, but then my sister went to ask a question about the beans ( she didn’t realize the beans were in the rice) and the young lady rudely said something along the lines of “ it’s in the rice that’s why it’s called rice and beans.” My sister just said “ oh, I didn’t know,” and walked away just thrown off by that response. I did watch her pleasantly interact with another customer, just not with us. At some point, she offered us a free cucumber salad sample and I felt just a little bit better (it was delicious by the way, A). She seems really young, and I just hope she improves her attitude towards customers. Anyway, the food was delicious, and I would recommend for sure.

Goat was spicy for me but so tasty that I had to savor a few more bites before promising it to my brother! ? Yummy! The owner was friendly and explained extremely politely that the paratha has to be ordered in advance as it's not in high demand. Totally understand! The dhalpurie was not greasy and was tasty. I was informed in advance (on cashing) that there'd be a wait. There were seats available and air conditioning; it was not a problem. This is what you do most times you go to a restaurant. While waiting I saw patrons come in and collected their orders. It is clear there's also an option to order ahead. I see reviews complaining about the cost but it's comparative to most Caribbean spots and in NY there are many restaurants and these are the prices! Considering in Greensboro that it might be difficult to get quality produce I think they're doing really good. This is a small business but great quality. I live in Raleigh and I'll definitely be back!

Vegetarian options: Non meat options for curry etc

Parking: There is a large parking lot

Don’t bother going here. I got there at 1pm(opening hours) they were closed and when I called they said the food would be done at 2. So I run a few errands and come at 2, then she said the oxtail would be done at 2:30, I said ok PAID and sat down. I waited till 2:54 and finally went up to the counter only for her to tell me that it would be another 30 minutes!! I asked for a refund and left. She was looking at me the whole time and didn’t even bother to tell me the waiting change.Just don’t go, it’s not worth the frustration.
