Seeing that Patty Time is so close to work and it has raving 5-star reviews, I have got to try this place out! My boyfriend initially thought it was located in the Bombay Bazaar strip mall but it's actually a tiny plaza just east of it, right next to a hair salon named Conrad's.
Food:
Curry goat: 3 stars
Patty: 4.5 stars
Mainly came here for the patties but after looking through their menu, I was on the fence about the curry goat and the oxtail. I decided on the curry goat and I was not disappointed with my choice. The meat was firm and gamy, and usually came with a piece of bone so be careful not to chip a tooth. There may be some small shattered pieces of bone in the rice as well, so don't be scarfing it down too fast. There was a good portion of meat, but wish there was more corn and tomatoes; I literally got one slice of tomato. The rice could have more beans and be more flavourful, but there definitely was a lot of it so no worries about it not being filling enough.
The patties here are really delicious! Probably one of the best I have ever had. Piping hot with a good amount of filling. It's mildly spicy and you can see that there's ground beef in it and not just some brown paste that tastes like beef. The only little thing that cost it 0.5 stars is that the patties are a tidbit small. Will definitely be back for more when I'm having a craving though!
Ambiance: 2.5 stars
It's a small take-out shop. It's a little decrepit and simple to no decor. It's selling point is mainly its homemade Caribbean food. Parking wasn't too much of an issue. The plaza is very small but other than Conrad's and Patty Time, there isn't much else going on there.
Service: 3 stars
It's take-out, but the ladies at the counter were nice enough. Service was quick even though the place was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon.
