I love Caribbean food; it's hearty and fills you like a mom-cooked meal.
But I'll be honest; I have an addiction for jerk chicken and anything related.
I started a job down the street and Drupati's was one top of the list for Caribbean cuisine. Growing up in the west and familiar with popular "jerk joints", Drupati was a must. This establishment is clean and modern.
I ordered the Stewed Chicken lunch special ($5.49) and a double ($2). Food is prepared right in front of you and served in a pay-n-pickup fashion. Lunch portions are half portions.
The Stewed Chicken was on par with what you would expect - spicy, salty with a touch of sweet. What I disliked was being served only the drum portion and not the thigh. The bed of rice and peas served as a compliment to the chicken gravy.
You may be confused if this was your first time visiting. The cashier will ask whether you'd like a "Double". No, it's not double portions. It's a roti wrapped filled with saucy chick peas. I enjoyed it.
Please be wary of the excessive wait when ordering during lunch hours. Drupati is understaffed and have an inefficient ordering system. My order time was 20 minutes. You'be been warned.
