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!

All of my things were pushed to a different area and left there. I had 2 brand new bags with me and MONICA would not pack my items. She did not even give us plastic bags to put our meat in. When I asked she said no the store does not pack items since covid! That was over 2.5 years ago! She had no mask on & was packing other bags. SO DO NOT GO TO A shorter CHUBBY OLDER WOMAN WITH BLACK STRAIGHT HAIR & dirty nails NAMED Monica at the checkout or avoid this location and go to Calgary Italian Center on 20 Ave & Edmonton Tr. - they are amazing! (And less expensive ) I asked a girl at the coffee bar & she said she always packs the items. The store is not the same . and the food sits for a long time now too, just look at the pasta it is totally curdled and dry in the hot food tray. AVOID (see my greasy food photos) service:1 food:1

Lambda is located very close to downtown. Their produce and meat are a hit and miss. Their shelves…read moreare not fully stocked at times. Some of their produce were not very fresh when I came. I believe after T&T opened, it diverted a lot of businesses away. Some of their prices were not bad. I found it interesting how they can have joss paper sold in front of the dead animals/ meat section. They have King's Seafood inside Lambda. They also have Maxim Bakery in here as well. Technically, this could be a one stop grocery store. But again T&T is also a one stop grocery store too. It does look like a typical Chinese/Asian grocery store. Yes Lambda has been around for a long time. They do close quite early at 7pm. Back in 2017, my issues was that I couldn't make it there at 7pm. Parking is limited here.

We used to shop here, and got lured away when the T&T opened. We were up the street for some…read morenoodles today, and were on our way to T&T when we saw Lambda and went in. First, don't even think about parking in the lot unless you hate your car. Its all SUVs jammed into 'smart-car-sized parking spots... Pay a buck and park on the street. What you save inside will easily pay for it. Prices are way better here, selection is good for fish, meat, produce and all the sauces, spices and condiments you'll find at the big guys. We paid half what we normally pay at T&T for thin sliced pork and lamb today, and found all the fresh veg we needed too. Nice little bakery too. And there were no screaming kids, or people smashing into your ankles with shopping carts. The only thing missing is the hot food counter. I don't need that every time... I think I was addicted to T&T because of having Forbidden City in the same building, but I can easily substitute it with Sun's BBQ (yum, next door) from time to time...

Came specifically looking for a brand of dried Mayacoba beans (Peruano if you prefer) for a dish I make for the family. Viola! Or, ole! There it was, even the brand I buy locally back home where these stores are literally everywhere. Had a nice long chat with a young guy at the checkout counter about all things Mayacoba and the street taco scene where I'm from. I see from another review they have Colombian coffee on the premises by the cup. Adding that to my list. I love finding a clean, well-run store like this when I'm travelling. Keeps me connected to all things good eating. Highly recommended.

This place doesn't have all the Asian items that I regularly look for, but they have a ton of other stuff, that's for sure. So, for a taste of the Far East, set sail for the 100 Tops Supermarket.
