| - Finally tried Island Foods last week and ended up making two visits. Can't wait for a third trip!
The first time, we both had the chicken thighs roti and a double. Amazing! Super friendly service, and watching the roti master make those rotis is a real treat, too - the technique is special, because everything in this roti is so perfect. The hot sauce is mixed in just right with the potato curry liquid and the meat liquid... Wetness is perfect. Size is perfect. Filling, but not a monster-sized roti. Prices are low. Keep doing what you're doing, Island Foods. We'll be back!
For our second visit, we really wanted another roti and another double, but were committed to trying one of the plates. It looked like they weren't serving doubles that day anyway (Saturday), so that helped us stay the course. We both had oxtail stew - it comes with rice and peas, potatoes, veggies (mostly cabbage and onions, with some carrot and peppers). Hot sauce on everything and a second dose on the stew. Our mouths were burning! Again, perfect amount of meat / potato sauce for the rice.
Don't fool yourself thinking you can rush in here and get out quick - there will probably be a line-up of dedicated Island Foods fans - including me - waiting patiently before you. Join us.
