Ordering Strategy

Space is tight and the menu changes daily, so check the counter specials immediately. Prioritize the stews (Pepper Pot, Oxtail) and always get the spinach rice over plain rice.

What to order

Safe first

Pepper Pot

Guyana’s national dish and a signature for which 'people travel for miles'; it is an 'earthy, rich beef stew' made with cassareep, herbs, and spices.

Hungry

Oxtail & Roti

The 'feathery soft' meat offers a 'textural grapple factor' and is bathed in a sticky, savoury sauce. It is best paired with the roti, which is 'thicker, heartier and doughier' than other versions, serving as 'ideal winter ballast'.

Wildcard

Bakes with Salted Cod

These deep-fried bread rolls are 'golden baps' that are 'soft, fluffy and moreish' without being greasy; critics recommend stuffing them with the salted cod to 'neatly amplify' the flavors.

Wildcard

Cook-up Rice

A 'carby analogue to bubble and squeak' featuring meat trimmings, black eyed peas, and spices stir-fried to 'moreish, fluffy perfection'.

What to skip

Skip
Tomato RiceDescribed as bringing 'little to the party'; reviewers suggest opting for the 'far more savoury spinach rice' instead.
