Go to place to get a bake and salt fish or Quaker Oats porridge in the morning. Love their oats porridge. Convenient location not too far from Flatbush junction. *Update* Their prices went up (which most places have due to “Covid” and their portions got smaller. Ordered a bake and salt fish twice last month after haven’t been there in months and was shocked at the small size. Basically four bites or so and it’s done. Bakes aren’t made consistently because the lady after me ordered two. One of hers were the same size as the bake I had and the other was almost double in size. Salt fish was also very oily.
This a nice place if you like West Indian food. The roti was great. I also ordered the oxtail with rice and pea, macaroni pie and calaoo. The food was delicious but the pea was a little undercooked. I would try the food again the next time I am in Brooklyn.
Best Roti in the neighborhood. Classic Trini flavor is there and the prices are perfect. Tried the stew chicken twice, first time was great second time not so much. That minor inconsistency left me uneager to explore their selections any further than the curry options, those are 5 star worthy.
I ordered the special, which included curry crab dumplings, dhal, and fish soup. First of all, the attitude of the staff was terrible; they seemed disorganized, and it took three people to assist me. The cashier was quite disrespectful. As for the food, I know what curry is supposed to taste like, and this certainly wasn't it. The soup was extremely watered down; it felt like they had run out of ingredients and just added water without any seasoning. The taste was awful, and I couldn't eat it, so I ended up throwing it away.
