I hosted a beach themed bachelorette on the weekend and ordered food from here. First of all,…read morediscussing the order with them over the phone was so easy and they were very accommodating! I ordered Rice and peas, jerk chicken, and beef patties as well as salad for 10 people. It was extremely affordable. To be honest, this type of cuisine is something that I don't order frequently so I wasn't sure what to expect. The rice and peas were cooked to perfection and the jerk chicken was probably some of the best jerk chicken I've had in a very long time. I expected it to be a bit dry but there was special sauce and on the phone they mentioned they marinate their meat for over 24 hours! It sure was nice to enjoy a beef patty where you could tell it was handmade versus the frozen ones that I've been feeding myself - haha! Highly recommend enjoying this spot!

It was disappointing to see the roti on top of the bones chicken and watered down gravy. It was not wrapped neither. I ate the roti 4 hrs after I bought it so the flavours could come together. Didn't really matter I had to debone everything and wrap the roti myself. I know the city of London is filled with people that don't look like you or me, if your gonna sell a roti at least sell It with the options with or with out bone.

I love Carribean food!…read more Atmosphere: Tucked away in the plaza, this place has both a restaurant sit-down area, as well as a take-out area. We decided to go for take-out, but peeking into the restaurant area seemed quite cozy. Service: Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Food & Price: Oh my goodness. This place lived up to the hype from the reviews! We ordered both the large jerk chicken (12.99) and the large curry goat (13.99) as well as a side of beef patty (2.50). Personal favourite was the jerk chicken. It is spicy and delicious. The chicken was soft and flavorful, the rice was nicely covered with sauce, and the macaronis and coleslaw balanced the flavors out. The curry goat was also yummy. Personally am not too big of a fan for gamey meats, but my bf enjoyed it thoroughly. Finally, the beef patty was delicious as well. My bf had recently visited Jamaica and he believed that this was probably one of the most authentic places he could find in London that replicated the patties he had overseas. Overall: For the price, the size and the deliciousness of the foods, I recommend you give this place a try!

Will have to stop in again to sample some more of their offerings. I would recommend.

It's a walk-in place only, the atmosphere isn't highly developed -- this gets me excited 'cause I know that means the food is good enough to speak for itself. I can't speak for all the menu items here, but everything I've tried has been delicious! (my favourite being the goat curry roti) In addition, they're open 'til 3am on bar nights and offer "doubles", a classic caribbean snack that's basically a chickpea-pastry sandwich, for only $1.50! Its location in the center of downtown, the friendly service, and the delicious food make this place a must for anyone looking to explore what Guelph has to offer.

The worse based on culture any one from the country has ever tasted ... HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD EVER SELL A TRINIDADIAN A GRISTLE ROTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
