“ Delicious food, hearty portions. Curry goat roti is excellent. Don’t get the oxtails because I want all the oxtails for ME! Extra gravy is worth it! Chicken foot soup with dumplings— SO GOOD! ”
“ Food Delicious! Curry goat, rice and peas, and cabbage with a side of mac and cheese. The rice and peas alone was worth it. Mac and cheese was Service Quick and friendly Atmosphere I’ve done both take out and dine in. They have a long narrow high top table with a few stools placed by their window. ”
