I'm wrapping up my Kensington Market reviews with Rasta Pasta.
This place gives you the tourist treatment. I showed up at around 2 PM on a Thursday and they're talking about "we're sold out of pasta." okay so the next day I show up at opening time and then they're talking about "give it another hour before the pasta finishes cooking." Like the f***?
Both times they ask me if I'm into vegetable dishes. What kind of a sales pitch is that? Anyways, having no other option since I had a game to catch midday I went with their lunch special of jerk chicken with veggies and rice, What's Rasta Pasta without the pasta??
Lucky for them the jerk chicken was marinated right and the chicken was tender enough to hope that it was free range.
The rice and veggies steamed and cooked near breaking point.
It sounds so simple but it was a cultural delicacy
Come here for the pasta but you'll probably end up with rice and chicken, which isn't a bad consolation prize.
