| - I went to Albert's with my wife and another couple to try the roti which I heard was among the best in the city. However living not too far from Island Foods, Pat's Homestyle Carribean, and Ghandhi's it was a tall order for Albert's.
Too tall as it turned out. The filling was tasteless, the chicken had sporadic bones and gristle throughout, and let's just say the staff and clientele did not exactly make us feel at home, unless home is a penitentiary.
There was a family dining there and they were saving some seats. When my wife was looking for a couple of seats for us the matriarch of this clan made it very clear (by slamming a rolled up newspaper on the table!) that none of the seats in her immediate environs were available. So the 4 of us shared 3 seats, which was rather awkward to cut and eat roti!
As I glanced over near the end of my meal I noticed that said Big Mama Bear DID in fact need the extra chair as she likes to have somewhere to rest her elbow. At this point I realized she wasn't being at all unreasonable and got back to fishing the bone out of my roti.
The food was cheap is probably the only plus going for Albert's.
All in all, never goin' back. Also, big shout out to Pat's Homestyle just west of Ghandhi's, in my opinion the best roti in the city (so far). Way cheaper than Ghandhi's and Pat is an absolute gent too, check it out.
That reminds me, time to Yelp Pat's!
