It did not even taste like any Caribbean spices were used. No flavor, no spice whatsoever. The oxtail was salty and stringy and tough. It never used to be this bad. The rice and peas were dry and slightly seasoned, the cabbage was ok at best. And I just realized they didnt give me my plantain. I should have drove up to Abingdon to Island Spice. The young man that took my order was pleasant and friendly. The place is always clean and the tables are always presentable. This is a family run resturant. But they need to do something to right this ship. I wont be buying their food again.

Overall meh. Indian take on West Indian cuisine. Fell short on the flavor profile for West Indian…read morefood being as though there were a lot of West Indian dishes. Oxtails taste sweet and needed salt and the right base for the sauce..was lacking the appropriate flavor profile. The rice tasted like basmati which is cool for Indian cuisines but usually with dishes like Oxtails or Jerk Chicken I'd expect red beans and white grain rice cooked in coconut milk for the flavor profile. Mussels are delicious, they just don't give you a lot of them if you go during any of their prefixed menu offerings. Coconut shrimp are good. Carrot cake was one of the best I've tasted in a long time. Even if your not a fan of carrot cake I think you'll enjoy. There weren't big chunks of fruit or nuts inside. It was layered, fluffy, moist, cream cheese icing spot on, just really spot on. I could have ordered a cake to go and left the food. Drinks are pricey for what you get in return. Some of the drinks are watered down, like their "Sex on the Boat." They give it to you in this cute boat shaped dish with a straw with flashing lights (photo/vid attached) but there's a ton of ice and not much alcohol or flavor. You also have to wait for your entire party before ordering appetizers. Very strange to me. Most places will allow you to order drinks and appetizers while you wait for the rest of your party. Also be mindful that there's an 18% charge for credit card. If that bothers you be prepared to bring cash. They typically will only allow you to split the check two ways so for larger parties it's best to bring cash to avoid confusion when everyone is paying for themselves.

The food was fantastic - I confess I had never tried Trinidadian cuisine before but was blown away by its distinct subtle flavors brought to perfection by chef Sean Yogi's imagination and skill. So we started with a saltfish croquette appetizer that if I weren't aspiring for dinner, I would have kept ordering until they closed the place. For dinner, I had curry salmon with sumptuous fried plantains and a delicious pasta cheese pie side. The salmon was amazing, I have never had salmon taste so wonderful. My wife had the same experience with her curry chicken. The true kicker though was this amazing pastry-like side named dhalpuri which is used to scoop up and eat your entre - amazing, buttery, soft. They have really done the place up well and feature a cool event room upstairs in the back with a peaceful view down onto Castle Street Park.
