    Absolutely BOMB!! A rare Caribbean gem outside of Queens/Bk.. they're open until late LATE! The meal we had was delicious. We ordered the busupshut & dhalpuri roti along w/ chicken curry-- not spicy & came along w/ channa -- excellent flavors from Trini-- felt like I was back in Ozone park stuffin my face again. We also ordered the side of spicy jerk chicken -- still tender & flavorful at 11p!! Fresh& hot food, clean spot. Family owned. This is my go to when we visit. I'm drooling thinking abt the food & writing this review

    Jerk Chicken (Legs&thighs).

    100% coming back again, definitely try this place out. Went in expecting regular Caribbean food, and finished wishing I had more. Everything tasted fresh. Jerk chicken was bbq'd nicely and seasoned great. Had that compounding spice that had me sweatin just the right amount. Mac and cheese was awesome. Perfect texture, not runny or chunky, just right. Not sure what the spinach dish was, but was like creamed spinach with no cream and great spices. Enjoyed it very much. Service was quick enough. Owner gave good vibes.

    There aren't too many Trinidadian spots in Cleveland, so Callaloo filled a large hole in my heart. Kelvin, the owner, was lovely and gave me massive servings for my 13 dollar vegan bowl. I'd never tried callaloo (the stew of greens) before, but it was delicious with a kick to it, and the okra, cabbage and chickpeas were fire. My friend also liked her jerk chicken (which was also MASSIVE and lasted her at least two meals). Will be back for more!

    10/10 recommend! Everyone was kind, the food smelled and looked amazing, fresh. Demi he ours portions but very filling! Normally not a fan of Mac but something told me to get it and I like the "twang" this dish had! Would suggest!

    I could have SWORN I had written a review for Tommy's years ago as it is one of my visited…read morerestaurants in my whole 6 years in Cleveland, but apparently I haven't! So it is clear I love Tommy's, a famous and long established healthy-ish option in Cleveland Heights, as do many others. Back when I was on keto for 2 years straight, I got their salads and now that I've been off keto for 3 years, I stop in for a milkshake or an order of fries from time to time. Parking is abundant in the free garage across the street and there is usually a wait for a table. However, I have never taken my boyfriend to Tommy's in the 2 years we have been together - every time we have tried, it's been a holiday and they are closed. However, we finally dined here for a Sunday lunch in August of 2026 and as usual, I had a 5 star experience! He did too, BTW. Tip of the day - my bf and I skipped the line by sitting at the counter which was a super win as we also got to people watch and observe the chefs at work. Yay! The menu is huge and the prices are weird but everything is yummy and fresh. My chunky butt got the "Josh" milkshake- a cookie dough and banana milkshake of delicious sugary goodness ($7.80). It's my favorite milkshake! We shared a generous order of unsalted fries ($4.99) and dipped them in malt vinegar like champions. I've had both the milkshake and fries before but ordered something new for my main. My bf then got the "silver" corned beef pita sandwich ($14.30) and I got the falafel pita sandwich ($12.10). Soooooo good! And by the time our fresh pitas came out, I was getting full so I got to bring home leftovers! Another win! I do think my bill of nearly $50 was a bit too high but we had a good time and I did recently read that the monthly rent on this place is 7k, so I can see why the prices keep going up and up. Definitely make Tommy's a stop on your itinerary if you're in Cleveland!

    Good weather? Check Place to dine before a show? Choose Tommy's?…read more Coventry is just the BEST, and Tommy's, a fixture in the neighborhood since 1978, offers healthy meal choices, longtime favorites and the best milk shakes. My friend ordered the turkey burger and a side of broccoli that was enormous! I chose the hotdog with healthy chips. (I was surprised that my hotdog was bare--no onions, relish, pickle??) I still had a great time. Thanks, Kalle, who waited on us with her great personality.

    I've come here several times by myself and with friends to know that this is a solid choice for…read morebrunch, baked goods, and/or lattes. Favorites include their savory baked goods and cookies When it comes to lattes, so far I've liked their cinnamon brown sugar, and seasonal matchas (the coconut matcha a couple months back was good). It's good as dine-in (plenty of seating inside and outside, though still quite full on the weekends) and as take-out. Plenty of free parking available in a lot. Staff are friendly. Also last month I tried their restaurant week special (includes latte, panini, and choice of cookie or macaron). Ended up choosing the brown sugar latte (opted for oat milk), corned beef panini and gingerbread molasses cookie. All were good, the favorite and definitely would get again would be the latte. Also if you use the too good to go app, I love their bags (such a good variety with amazing value) which sell out in minutes. Definitely in my list of regular places to stop by.

    If I were rating the food alone, it would be five stars. Last week I got a chocolate cookie with…read moresome sea salt on top (forget what the official name of the cookie is) and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! I also got a cake slice- this was a square shaped slice (not their layer cake). My boyfriend loved it! But unfortunately I did not get to enjoy any of it because it was filled with a berry which I am allergic to. This was not indicated on the title card for the product. With these baked goods being high quality, they are on the more expensive side. So I was disappointed to spend money on something that I couldn't even eat. I realize that I probably should've asked but the food I was buying when I viewed it from the display case but this didn't cross my mind because the cake slice didn't seem to be an item that would have a filling. I would really like to try their cupcakes at some point... but do those have fillings too? I know I can ask but I have three severe food allergies and it just bothers me that the information I need isn't readily available. Especially in a place like this because it's very loud! Can be hard to communicate with the team members even during a non-busy time. Not just because of the way sound works in this building but also thanks to how high they crank up the music. TLDR: The baked goods are INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to go back for more. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be an allergy safe place at this point (display case labels are lacking) and it's very loud. When I tried to go back just yesterday the line was out the door and it was so loud that I almost got a migraine, so I had to leave and go somewhere else.

It is definitely on the formal side. The food is top notch and some of our favorite items are the bruschettas and salads. Very nice spot for a date night or special occasion or out of town guests. I appreciate greatly from them that you can select in your reservation which zone of the restaurant you want to sit in. Service has been very good when we've been there most recently Corinne I believe her name was was very friendly and helpful and did an amazing job managing many tables some with difficult customers. One note, NOT a negative to me but may be noteworthy for some: I don't think Gigi's is a spot for kids or large family events with kids, unless they have a private dining space I'm unaware of. Space between tables is tight and the space overall is not huge but they make great use of the space. The staff are extremely efficient and there are many of them moving with trays at any given time, it's absolutely not a spot to walk around with a toddler if they get bored at the table. The chairs for example are also small so don't expect a giant family size booth here. Again these are positives to me but just notes!

For entrees, we had the signature lasagna that was fantastic and a special from what I remember was short rib and couscous. Everything was very delicious. The only downside coming to this wonderful restaurant is parking. I had to park two streets over and walking on icy and snowy sidewalks was not pleasant.
