| - My wife and I were both working from home today and were feeling adventurous for lunch. I did a quick Yelp search and found this restaurant in the area and decided to give it a try based on other Yelp reviews.
We were not disappointed.
The menu was a good mix of food that we recognized (chicken, beef, curry, roti etc) with some other menu items we never saw before (shark sandwich?).
We ordered the large curry chicken and jerk chicken and were not disappointed.
The portions were very generous and tasty. The rice had beans inside of it, and was topped off with a bit of the sauce from our dish selection. So the curry chicken dinner, the rice had some curry flavoring to it, and the jerk chicken rice was flavored with jerk chicken. Nice little touch to really make the dish flavor stand out.
Each was served with a small side salad.
The curry and jerk chicken were excellent. The food was piping hot when it came out, and packed a lot of heat.
I dislike places where the "spicy" flavors are either heavily vinigered (think Tabasco or Frank's hot sauce), or are just packed with chili's where it burns my lips and mouth long after the meal is over.
The spiciness is tolerable at first with the food served here and then builds up. The faster you eat the hotter it gets! But if you slow down and sip water, the heat mellows out again to a tolerable level. If you pace yourself you can keep a certain level of spiciness going.
Its a bit tough to describe, but if you want heat, the food here brings it to you!
Will definitely be coming again.
