Listen, I want 5 stars so bad for this place, but they fell short on a key aspect. The only reason…read morefor 4 stars was because they were out of goat and patties, and the server seemed unforgiving as well. Everything was GOOD. By GOOD I mean delicious and large and tasty and I just wanted to stuff my face, which I did. I had the chicken curry, my second option because they were out of goat. That's cool though because it was still really good, just a TINY BIT dry, but the sauce made up for it. The bowls were huge, which I love because it was a bit expensive. The sauces were so good, honestly reminds me of my days in Florida and frequenting the Caribbean restaurants there. The drinks (agua frescas), PHEW, were AMAZING. I had the Jamaica, my partner got the Guava, and they killed it with those drinks!!! Sooo flavorful and refreshing, paired very well with the savory food. The bar manager came and talked to us because we were the only people in that joint, she was so friendly and funny. She got us cups and ranch, even though ranch isn't on the menu, for my partner because the bowl was spicy even with the neutralizer. The ambiance was cool and the building was separated into two by curtains, one side was the restaurant and the other was the bar. I could tell they get lit and have a good time there for sure, sound systems and security clued me in on that. We ate in the bar side and the table was very thin, probably made for drinks only, but we made it work. The worker at the register seemed tired of disinterested. He didn't help us out nor present any options, just confirmed or denied what we asked. He wasn't super helpful or welcoming, but he seemed tired so I'll let him have that.

We ordered at the counter so we were ready to catch our show at a moment's notice which was perfect. Not to mention the perfectly filling dinner we had. FOOD: we both had the jerk chicken street option with rice, plantains, and slaw. Such a filling and great option. We also got drinks which were adequately strong and well priced. SERVICE: friendly and perfect AMBIANCE: bar vibes but comfortable and definitely perfectly good for us at least (young 20-something's) Parking; tricky but it's expected in St Paul

I ordered a large ox tail plate and a regular jerked chicken plate.

I ordered the chicken with the coleslaw, the rice, and plantains-- I think it was the jerk chicken? Either way, the meat was dry and the rice had not a lot of flavor. I wasn't super impressed and remember it being much better last time I came here. The plantains were good.. but that was maybe the best part of the dish? The portion size wasn't great either to be honest. Unless things improve, I probably won't be back for a while.

On my first day in Minneapolis, I decided to walk over to Harry Singh's. I was a little concerned…read moreby the boarded up glass door but decided to forge ahead and I'm glad I did. Harry is a friendly elderly man from Trinidad and Tobago. He is apparently very well known in Minnesota, particularly for his curries which I will be sure to try the next time I'm in state. Personally, I'm never able to resist jerk chicken and so upon sitting down, I promptly placed my order for jerk chicken and plantains. Unfortunately he was out of Caribbean punch but he made me a mixture of sorrel and ginger beer that was pretty good although a bit sweet for me. When my jerk chicken arrived at my table, I was in awe of the sheer amount of food I had unknowingly ordered (and very glad I hadn't ended up ordering the curry as well as one person) and of the smell. It was so hot it was smoking and I could immediately smell the flavors were legit and the chicken would be spicy. This jerk chicken was spicy in a way that sneaks up on you. I was surprised to feel my eyes watering! One of the other patrons was coughing from the spice of his meal so if you're not used to spicy food, definitely order a glass of milk in advance! The plantains were perfectly ripe, sweet and well cooked, just like I would make for myself! Harry was very kind and sweet and kept coming up to my table as well as his tables of regulars to chat and exchange stories. I'm not always the most chatty but I didn't feel uncomfortable speaking with Harry. Overall, I enjoyed my time and my meal at Harry Singh's and will be happy to return the next time I'm in the city

What an incredible unexpected surprise!…read more Traveling to Minneapolis and unexpectedly stumbled into this incredible culinary delight! The manner in which the staff made us feel welcomed, was exactly what I would expect from my Cuban Dominican family. From the moment we walked in the door, the warmth and love felt, was similar to how family should feel like. Very well decorated with a Cuban, Dominican vibe. From the multiple patios, to the grills and smokers in the back, it was laid out perfectly. The food was amazing! My son and I started with ordered their Tostones & Chicken Croquetas (choice of either pork or chicken) then, moved onto our main entrees. Everything looked so delicious but we decided to go with their Bistec Encebollado & their Fiesta Caribe (Caribbean Party). The young lady behind the counter suggested their made in-house drinks, the Chinola/Passion Fruit Juice (Parcha/Maracuya) & Tamarindo/Tamarind Juice. These in-house juices were tasty and full of flavor! Every part of our experience, from the customer service and the meal, was incredible. Full of authentic tastefulness and just an absolute joy!

Tables exist both inside and out. There is a grab your own water and silverware section. My group dined outside as we had a nice overcast day where it wasn't too hot or too cold. We sat at the adorable yellow table which had a lemon umbrella. Despite ordering inside, the staff will bring items to your table which was such a sweet gesture. We all loved our cubanos and will certainly be coming back. Thank you!!
