I've walked past this place many times and thought of going in. The reason that I've put it off is…read morebecause it's a bit of a hole in the wall and I didn't have any expectations. Today I went in and asked the hostess what was good there. They brought me goat with rice, a very flavorful soup and a refreshing salad. The goat was very tasty and moist. It flaked off the bone and was a good portion. The rice was peppery and filling. I liked the soup very much. The meal really filled me up. It was my first meal of the day well into the afternoon. Very good portions! With a coke it came to $14 even. Extremely reasonable! I'll go back here again and bring friends!

Easily the best Ethiopian meal and food I have ever had and possibly one of the best overall meals…read moreI have ever had. Excellent service and friendly staff. Very fair prices for the quality and portions. They also use compostable plates and cutlery. Vegan and gluten free. I had the Beyaynetu (veggie platter) and it was so delicious. They had three mushroom stews that were insanely good. I wish I lived in Calgary. I would eat here weekly. They are in the Avenida Food Hall at the end. I highly recommend. Pricing, service, flavor, eco-friendly...the best restaurant I have been to in a long time!

I've eaten at Teff n Greens a few times and it's incredibly delicious! It's totally vegan as well…read more Located within the Avenida Food Hall, there's lots of seating nearby. They sell frozen items now, too, so you can enjoy their wonderful flavours at home. They're happy to sample items if you're not sure. I am a big fan of the veggie platter because it has a bit of everything! I'm happy to support a local business. A couple visits ago I met Timo, the owner, who is very kind and clearly has a love for what he does. The only downside is that the market is only open Thursday to Sunday. I wish I could eat Teff n Greens every day of the week! If they ever open their own restaurant, I'll be the first to visit.

There are basically two rows of food here, mostly staples, rice, teas, spices, beans, and the sauces. A very nice selection of exotic hot sauces here, Tamarind Date, Trinidad Style, Red pepper, Hot pepper, and West Indian Sauce just to name a few. The take out or in menu consisted of Jamaican Patties for 2 dollars, and Coco Bread. There is Curried Chicken, Curried Goat, Curried Ox Tail, Jerk Chicken, Curried Chicken, Beef and Goat Roti all for around 10 dollars. All prices are reasonable and there was a small line up of regulars with tons of laughing and island stories spiralling around. It was so contagious we were all laughing in the end and you really did feel like you were sitting on the beach in the Caribbean sipping on your island rum or ginger beer. The owners were so warm and friendly that they gave me a 2010 mini calendar to take home. Ahhhh so nice warming up the soul for a brief moment today.

Carribean Choice Foods is a fun and authentic place to get your Carib culinary products and a tasty…read moremeal to stay or go. If you've spent some time on the islands and you're a fan of beans, rice and spicy (not ridiculous spicy) Jamaican curry, this could quickly become the lunch spot for you. The walls are lined like a Carribean grocery store, and throughout the centre and front window are tables for you to hang out and enjoy your food from the kitchen. Being an Alberta boy, not well versed in the ways of the Carribean, I found the attitude of the place to be unusually and enjoyably relaxed. Arriving a bit late for lunch, I asked if I could get a Chicken Curry. The pleasant lady at the till looked as if to think about it for a brief while before going "uuhmm,okay. But it will be 7 minutes." At the time I thought as if I was asking for something unusual, but this is one of the menu item, and I feel like this just might be the way of the shop The chicken, while deliciously spiced with Jamaican curry was at least half bone and cartilage. There were large masses of chicken but it was still difficult to get a mouth-full without spitting the undesirable pieces back into the styrofoam container. Is this authentic? Unfortunately, I'm too uneducated to say. The atmosphere is laid back and I was the only person without a thick Jamaican sounding accent and I very much enjoyed the food. A fun combination of tasty food and enjoyable quirk leave me excited to go back!

The food is GARBAGE! The service is okay-ish. They are kind of weird though. The water they use is…read moretap water, the same water that they use to wash the dishes. Also they play weird and disgusting Indian songs and shows on the 3 TV's they have. The place smells so bad and the food smells worse!

This place luckily offers it and they're delicious; incredibly fluffy and packed with flavour. The catch is that it's expensive. Doubles in Toronto is only $3 each and this place is $9.

Tough call on a single score for this place . Good food, good prices, weird customer experience…read more I ordered the butter prawns and my bride ‍ ordered the equivalent of lamb saag. Both were excellent!...with a surprisingly generous amount of shrimp and lamb. So if you are considering this place for takeout, this place is a 6 on a scale of 1-5 . For the Canadian travelers, read on ... The restaurant was almost empty when I arrived at 7 pm, so that was a bit of a warning sign. The server seated us and took our order. She offered us each a bottle of water ( not sure why tap water was not offered) and we ordered a bottle of wine. They did not have any of the Cabernet on the menu, so they offered us a different Cabernet at the same price. It was fine. Two things that struck me as strange: 1. The server brought us our wine and two glasses, but did not open the bottle. I had to walk up to the bar to get an opener, and open the bottle myself. Granted, we visited just after the Covid era, so I want to give them the benefit of doubt on staff hiring. It took awhile to actually get our food. Thank goodness we had the bottle . To recap: good food, weird, in person customer experience
