It was my favorite Caribbean place. I'm trying to go keto so I didn't order rice, but where is the curry sauce for the goat. The goat is nice and soft and taste ok. I like this restaurant because they have more veggies to offer. The okra is good, the spinach use to be great, the cabbage you can taste the pepper, if you like crunchy cabbage which is healthier then over cooking it then it's ok.

This was my first time eating here and I thought my experience would be good. I ordered a few doubles and a Roti with goat. The goat was tough and the food I did eat. I became extremely sick nausea and the bubble guts and lots of stomach cramps. Let's say I was on the toilet all night.

I pre-ordered two coconut bakes and salt fish from Brown Sugar restaurant in West Philly and was thoroughly impressed. The bakes were delightfully soft and flavorful, while the fish boasted perfect seasoning. The service was exemplary, from the phone response to the order pickup. Furthermore, Reuben , one of the staff, with his genuine smiles, along with the restaurant's cleanliness contributed to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Thank you,
Lydz

Not many Afro-Trini restaurants in the Philadelphia area so I was excited to find one right around the corner from me. Delicious Coconut Bake and Saltfish, Curried chicken & Roti and theeee best Caribbean Mac and cheese I’ve ever had from a restaurant. I also love their baked goods and delicious healthy juices. I come here almost everyday for breakfast and the staff are very sweet and pleasant. Food tastes just like home 🇹🇹.

The soya roti and doubles are classics. Unfortunately they currently only make doubles on Fridays and Saturdays, only between like 1:30-2:30pm or something.

My husband and I I’ve been looking for a good roti place for a long time and we finally found it was delicious!!!!

The menu seems to change every time I go in there so I usually just ask what’s vegan and get that. Never been disappointed.

Mostly take out with vegan savory such as Soya tofu & vegan cakes. Sometimes it might be better to order your vegan cake ahead of time. They are located in the Walnut Hill section of West Philly. Good long hours.

I really think it is well worth cupporting this kind of spot. I love Soul-veg and other kind of Afrocentric spots like this to eat. I think that veganism can be a really complicated thing when you factor is class and race issues. Anyway, about the food! This place is so filling and you can get one with your broke friend and almost almost be full, right? But you and your friend will be sitting in Malcolm X Park basically licking the wrapper! Anyway, I don't think it's worth worrying about this spot being ina bad neighborhood- just use common sense and be respectful and thankful that this yummy food exists. Overall a total Philly punk-vegan classic place to eat! Hurrah!
