Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Cozy family restaurant with the best in Guyanese and Carribean dishes. The restaurant kindly accommodated our group of 12 on short notice Sunday Nov 26 2023 on a long table complete with tablecloths and poinsettias! It was very cozy. Service was very attentive. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. Amazing price point for the exceptional quality! Most customers were coming in for take out, but I look forward to coming back to dine in. Will be back again and again.

The location and signs make it hard to see it, which is a shame because their food is amazing. A lot of people can easily pass and would be unaware of it being there. That being said the service was great, staff were very kind and checked in on us a few times. The place was clean and the great thing is they also offer buffet during certain times which I took a picture of. We didn't come during a time like that but ordered a chicken roti and a shrimp roti which came with plantain, which is the best I've tasted in the city. Keep up the good work. Definitely recommended

I’m so glad I stumbled on this place! I drive by frequently and had no idea I was missing out. Had the Shrimp Roti and asked for it to be spicy and it was delicious. They have homemade hot sauce so of course I had to add more!! 10/10 recommend!

Great customer service and food tasted delicious. Their hot sauce is the best!! We got the doubles with chickpea curry, vegetable lo mein, and the vegetarian fried rice. Food may take long, which they kindly stated before we ordered, so recommend calling ahead if possible.
