Great, real food and prices. Tried for the first time tonight, but we'll be back. Had his homemade hot sauce with the shrimp roti and it was flavourful. My wife had the curried chicken and enjoyed it as well. Generous portions as we both have lunch for tomorrow. Very friendly owner.

Our first time eating here and the food was outstanding! Ordered the chicken curry and shrimp roti. Started off with a beautiful salad containing fresh herbs. The main course consisted of huge portions, and the flavours were on point. Perfect amount of spiciness for me (I like heat but not so much I can't breathe lol), and my husband was given homemade hot sauce, which he really enjoyed. We're hoping the goat will be available next time as we'll definitely be back. The owner is an amazingly creative and kind gentleman. We also like supporting local and independent owners rather than chains (and the food always tastes better)! Don't be put off by the small, simple environment. The food more than makes up for it. Actually, the restaurant had a homey feeling. If you have a chance to visit, do so. You won't be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: You can state when ordering what your dietary restrictions are, so recommendations can be suggested and accommodated.Parking: Free parking lot. Restaurant in plaza.Kid-friendliness: Pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries are on the menu.

Amazing spot! Authentic. The owner works VERY hard and is such a kind soul. I’ve never seen anyone else working besides him. Go support. You will enjoy the food. I love the fact that everything is made fresh. You may go in and want a specific dish and maybe they won’t have that type of food that day, and you might be let down. But don’t get it twisted because that just means you’re not getting old, sitting out food. He prepares everything fresh. There will always be another option for you if that is the case. Call ahead to check what he has that day. The portions are great sizes. It’s apparent that he puts great care into his food.The first time I went there, I was pretty confused about the pizza part. But when I saw the menu, it made total sense. This guy is a genius at making pizza ingredient combinations. Unfortunately, I cannot have them because I can’t eat gluten due to having celiac disease. But I can only imagine how good they must be. The drink selection is also A1.I’ll always support this spot as long as it’s around. Thank you Edwin! You don’t go unappreciated ?

The first time I tried this restaurant was maybe 6 months ago and I thought it tasted good but the chicken was kind of dry. Boy did they improve! We got two orders of the j*** chicken with rice and peas and slaw and it was really delicious! 3 pieces of Chicken were juicy with great flavor and good amount of spiciness. They give extra sauce on the side too. This is a hole in the wall kind of place and it feels like your neighborhood grandma and grandpa family style restaurant. I highly recommend you trying this place. It takes 15 minutes for take out so call ahead. They have only a few tables if you want to eat in.

One of the most charming experiences I’ve had in years.I frequent the plaza and have been eying this place for weeks and finally took the dive.The moment I saw the restaurant’s interior, I knew the food was going to be a treat.The interior looks cobbled together and simple. Reminiscent of a small island restaurant. I could tell flavour would be the owners main focus.He was extremely kind and patient while I checked the menu and once decided, I was happy to see him carefully preparing my order. I admired the decor for a bit while I waited and noticed so many interesting things scattered throughout, mainly his bookshelf filled with vintage books.My order was a j*** chicken wrap, curry goat stew and Jamaican patties.The Jamaican patties were fantastic. The dough was buttery, flakey and most importantly fresh and home made. The filling was fantastic as well but I was completely caught off guard with how good the pastry dough itself was.The j*** chicken wrap was toasted nicely, and foil wrapped so it was piping hot when I opened it. Very flavourful, with peppers and onions. The chicken breast was fresh and juicy and nicely cooked.The curry goat stew was phenomenal as well. Cooked perfectly, the meat had great texture and flavour. The stew or sauce had huge flavour and went great with the rice and beans it was served with.This place is an easy 5 star for anyone who is a fan of Caribbean food. The prices are more than reasonable, the portions are fantastic and the food is fresh and flavourful. The owner himself you can quickly tell is a kind and honest man who’s focus is sharing his wonderful food with his customers.One thing to be aware of is the food was incredibly spicy with lots of scotch bonnet which for me was great. But if you can’t handle it you may want to ask the chef what his mild menu choices are.
The man who served me I believe owns this place was very kind and welcoming, it was my first time trying this place and I’ll for sure return !! Great tasting food and great value thank you sir

Couldn't have asked for better caterer for our wedding!! Edwin put together an incredible menu for us in such a short space of time. The food was hearty, delicious and our guests couldn't stop talking about it even days later (the j*** chicken wraps were a mega hit)! The drop-off, set up and take down was such an easy process and fit in well with all the other activities of the day. We would absolutely recommend The Recipe Restaurant whether it's for an event, or if you just want to pick up food at the restaurant.
