The food is excellent and abundant. Just trust the person serving you from the abundant display of ingredients, and simply nod, even if you’re not sure what they said, and you’ll be happy. Know that what you ask for may be challenged by the server by how they’d prefer to serve it (“This is better with gravy…. Do you want more curry potato to balance out the heat?”) or what most people order as a side. Fact is, this is very much like being fed by family/friends. Embrace it.

“Service” is a hard thing to rate in stars. It is not what you expect. If you don’t understand the lingo or the accent, you might be confused, intimidated, or think they are mad at you. Just don’t worry about it, nod and ay.

There is no “atmosphere”, really - just a very practical, abundant serving station behind a hooded glass enclosure that will make your mouth water.

Vegetarian options: Ask for a roti or (dal pourie) with vegetables. Which ones? Ask for all of them. Nod each time they ask you to reconfirm. Keep the roti separate. One serving is two FULL meals.

The plantains and Roti were very good. The server was friendly. But.... unfortunately the oxtail was pink inside, the curry goat tasted too much like goat. Needs to either be cooked better or cleaned. The chow mein tasted like throw up at first bite.. You can tolerated if u give it time... btw now it's December 10,2023 around 640-7pm food came out to 34$....
