Came to Ottawa from the GTA for work, saw the reviews and went for take-out for the crew. The goat roti got the person that ate it sick. The Oxtail was mostly all bone, the rice tasted dated and the codfish fritters were tasteless and burnt. As most of the crew are West Indian and work in different cities and towns in Ontario we all agreed that this was the worst food we've had. We must say the service was good though.

My friend and I share a chicken curry meal. We opt for roasted potatoes as our side. The food is so fresh and tasty. You can specify how much Caribbean heat without losing out on flavour. Special note that the cole slaw is so delicious.
Meals are ready in ten minutes. The quantity of food is amazing for such a low price. Lots to choose from.
I would highly recommend this take out venue. The staff are gracious and friendly. My favourite place.

Aug 7: ordered a roti, way too salty, couldn't finish it. I enjoy the slaw and rice but the meat was nothing but salt 😬

Omg. Sooooo good 😙👌🏽

Love their jerk and curry plates. The excellent slaw and plantain are the cherry on top for me.

Curry chicken roti extra spicy was such a joy to eat! The hot sauce lingered, but not in a way that is uncomfortable. Decent filling of chicken, chickpeas, and potatoes. Nice roti shell that absorbs the flavour of the curry. It’s not a dine in place, but they do have an enticing assortment of seasonings and hot sauce for purchase.

Tried this place for the first time and was not disappointed! The jerk chicken was delicious, would have preferred more sauce but that’s fine. Curry goat was even more delicious than the chicken, it came with a good amount of curry. The meat was cooked and seasoned well. Both came with coleslaw and a side of plantain. The tropical salad with mango dressing also tasted good; bonus points for the grated fresh coconut on top! Their prices are fair too for the quantity and I’d say we got 1.5 meals out of the food.

Always great food.

I don't know if this was deliberate or accidental but It tastes like 2 cups of salt were poured into the food.

It's impossible to eat, even after rinsing my mouth it's like I drank salt water. I wasted $40 but if this was deliberate, you deserve all the karma you get.

Had the oxtail, first time ever trying oxtail. Needless to say but it won't be my last! Absolutely delicious. The meat was super flavorful and melted in my mouth. The sauce was rich and had deep beef flavor. The rice was delicious and full of beans. The plantains were done perfectly. Lastly the coleslaw was a nice compliment with a lovely black pepper taste. Super friendly service in a small restaurant. Highly recommend

Really good jerk and oxtail! The rice and beans and plantains were delicious too. Caution for those who can’t handle spicy as the jerk will make you sweat!
