Another new Caribbean spot in town! Open for just 2 months, the owner, Denise (the restaurant's…read morenamesake) was super helpful in walking us through her menu. We tried the Pho Lourie, which are like little clouds of fried bread that we dipped in tamarind and hot sauce and was very delicious. We also had the oxtail, which had a really nice, rich flavour and tender, slow cooked meat, as well as the goat curry, which was also very delicious and just the right amount of heat. We ate our meal with some nice, fluffy roti, and some amazing meat patties (chicken and beef). The restaurant is simple and unassuming, and tucked away in an indoor strip mall on Whyte Ave (I'm a lifelong Edmontonian and had no idea this mall existed!). Definitely worth the visit.

Delicious. They have delicious plates. I tried the curry chickpeas and it comes with two types of salad, rice, beans, and plantain. The plantain was by far the best. They also have lovely soursap drinks that they bring in from St. Lucia! Amazing! I am so happy we had a chance to try this little spot. The owners are lovely too. We chatted for a while and it was nice to just chat with someone after the pandemic. I'll be recommending this place to others and will be back. :) All the vegetarian patties were out though so we might try to swing by again to try some.

One of the Best Jamaican Foods that I've ever had since I moved to Canada. A unique place where…read morethe restaurant is located at the back part of a house. I understand why another review was disappointed about the roti. The goat curry wasn't wrapped inside the roti which most Caribbean restaurants do. However, I didn't even bother when the curry wasn't wrapped inside the roti. I actually prefer not to be wrapped as the goat has bones. Although both goat curry and oxtail stew were fell off the bone. I was actually chewing the bones as the bones were so so tender. Today (August 18, 2019) is 1 year anniversary of Sunset Reggae Kitchen. They also have 1 year anniversary giveaway that will be drawn on August 23. So head to their instagram account @sunset_reggae_kitchen_official to participate. My boyfriend and I tried their foods for the first time today. As we walked in, we were happy to see the crowds (mostly Jamaican descendants) inside . Not only friendly customers but Beaverly, the owner was really nice. Btw, we knew nothing about the giveaway draw until we sat down and started talking with the people inside. One customer was talking with my bf and reassured that this place has the best Jamaican foods in town as he goes to Jamaica once a year. So, we ordered 2 meat combo (goat curry and oxtail stew) and goat curry roti. The goat curry taste was surprised me! Tasted very similar to Indonesian goat curry that I used to have back home. The oxtail stew had a hint of pimento (all spice) which is very common to be used in Jamaican cooking. All I can say, Beaverly cooked the foods from her heart. There is love in each food that she cooks. I'm looking forward to try their fish dishes as they have to be pre-ordered.

You should be ashamed of yourselves ! Edit to add: they didnt even send a knife... so i was not only given half the ingeredients, but only half the necessary cutlery too. Idiots.

The space has transformed under the new ownership, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a Bob Marley spirit that gives the room a relaxed, soulful energy. My photos don't capture how vibrant and welcoming it truly feels. I ordered the snapper fish meal and it was excellent -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. Today happened to be their last day before the owner takes a well deserved break, and they'll reopen on January 13. When he returns, the dine in area is fully set up with new furniture, ready for people to sit down and enjoy the food in this beautiful space. Saffron is a gem in the Stadium neighbourhood -- authentic, community minded, and full of heart. I'm grateful I finally stepped inside, and I'm already looking forward to returning when they reopen.

The spice level is just enough that it gives you a kick but not enough that it's unpalatable because it's too hot. The curry chicken has lots of flavour, and paired with a side of beef patty ($4) was just the right amount of food to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon. Next time I come I'm gonna try the jerk chicken, definitely a spot to hit up if you're visiting this farmers market.

Owner (a couple) has a stand at Old Strathcona Famers' Market that is selling Caribbean hot sauce style but they opened up a Caribbean food stand in addition to their hot sauce stand. So far I have tried 2 different dishes; Ackee & Saltfish and Oxtail Stew. Both dishes were really good. It was my first time to try Ackee. Quite interesting fruit but it was good. Ackee is a fruit of the Sapindaceae soapberry family, as are the lychee and the longan. Since I grew up with saltfish, it was lovely to have it again after so long I didn't have it. The oxtail was so flavourful and tender. The rice that company the oxtail was really yummy. With a beautiful set-up of food court of Bountiful Farmers' Market, I think this little booth give a nice vibe to its market.

So I love to support local businesses, and so my friend and I went here for lunch…read more I used to really love this place, but somehow it missed the mark on this day. First of all the ambiance isn't as bright and cheery and it was cold to eat inside. I get it that most people come here to take out, but your restaurant should be comfortable to sit and eat in. Service was indifferent. They didn't really act happy that we were coming in. Place has the usual Jamaican food - curries, jerk meat, rice and peas etc. I ordered the curried goat. So the flavaour of the curry was good but they were really skimpy on the meat and they put on too much peas and rice which was dry. My friend had the jerk chicken but she left most of her rice as well. Prices were high for the amount of meat you have. I will have to try another Jamaican restaurant in the area to compare. I don't think I will be coming back here.

The Blue Nile was probably the first Ethiopian restaurant in Edmonton, and I remember years ago…read morewhen it was in its original location by the Royal Alex. I really preferred the decorations and atmosphere at that location rather than where it is situation now. In general it was fine...but not a fantastic experience. Perhaps because now there is more competition in this food area, or maybe because we have travelled more than 20 years ago, I wasn't floored by our lunch. The atmosphere wasn't as pretty as the last location but I have to say, most of the Ethiopian restaurants don't really factor this into their priority. Langano skies is beautiful but you are also paying for the atmosphere there. Even though it was not busy, during this week day lunchtime, our server was quite slow to come to the table to hand out menus, to get us water, to place our order, and for the food to come out. So if just one of these things was slow, I would dismiss it, but ALL these things are slow....for not much reason because there was only one other couple dining in the place. We decided to try the Meat Combination - Key wot, Gomen, Key Sir, Misir Alicha Wot , Derek Tibs & House Salad. Basically, red split lentils with spice, spinach with garlic and ginger, yellow split lentils, beets with onions, and beef with spices. Everything was tasty and well spiced. I didn't think that the portions were large though. We also tried the Ethiopian coffee which was probably the highlight of the meal. It comes as a ceremony where they bring the smoking beans to the table. The coffee was delicious and served with popcorn which is super fun. This wouldn't be my first place for Ethiopian food, but a very consistent runner up.

The Injera was awesome as was all of the food that we were able to try between the four of us. It was spicy, but not overly so. The flavour and the texture of the meat was spot on. The son was the one doing the serving. He was friendly and good with all of the customers. When my guests wanted to compliment the cook, we found out it was Mom in the back cooking all of the delicious food. It is another one of those places where you feel like you are getting a good home cooked meal. Great value for your money, the portions are more than ample. The food was so good that this foodie didn't even get pictures, I just dug right in! This is a great place to take a group of 4 or more, then you can order a variety of dishes and get to try out more of the food. We will be back, it was awesome!
