| - I like it!
Not sure what the gripes about the service were - the guy serving us was practically a Maritimer in terms of friendly - we shared some debate on Diet Coke vs Coke Zero. He didn't like either - he went for Diet Pepsi. That's just gross, dude. #lostrespect
We got the small jerk chicken and goat curry. Though they looked small, unless you're a big eater, it is plenty of food. Both were tasty, moist, and fricking good. The rice was.. ricey - well done.
I also tried a spicy patty - normally when an ethnic restaurant with typically spicy diets says it's spicy, it's damn spicy. Like in an Indian restaurant, it lights my mouth (and, later, nether regions) ablaze. Likewise, suicide hot wings from a mainstream pub sometimes could use some habanero enhancement. So I expected some flames, but surprisingly it wasn't actually that spicy. Tasted great though, so no complaints (someone should really create an easy way to characterize the spiciness of a dish that all restaurants could use. Hmm.. restaurant-grade Scoville meter? Business idea forming here..).
Oh and they threw in some coleslaw gratis as well - surprisingly, it was quite good! If you've ever read my other reviews, I tend to whine about coleslaw quality - this one was small but actually quite nice. On the KFC scale (where 0 is raw cabbage and 11 is KFC coleslaw, this one was about an 8).
The location is small and cozy, and I've learned not to eat anywhere with a smell, because I then leave the place smelling like that establishment. I made that mistake a few weeks ago with an Indian takeout place, and took 4 days for my coat to stop reeking of curry. Curry taste? Awesome. Curry smell on clothes? Vile. Opt for takeout.
