Didn't like the food at all. Got the oxtail and it was very boney, tough and the flavour was too strong. There was way too much cinnamon and allspice and it gave you heartburn while eating it. Had a slight bitterness from the amount of spice. It had a decent heat, but had to douse it with hot sauce to make it decent enough to eat. They give you a small salad with lettuce leaves and 1 slice of... more
I will give them 1 star for flavour...ordered oxtail, jerk chicken, and rice and peas for a small family function of about 10 people. Oxtail portion for what they think is 10 people is absolutely pathetic. More like 5 people. The tray of oxtail had only 1 layer of meat, enough to cover the bottom. Jerk chicken, they gave 10 legs...still not enough. Rice of course was ok coz its only rice! I... more
This is my go to place for roti and doubles in Mississauga. It's small and unassuming but most of the good places are. The owner is extremely friendly and attentive. I always get the Chana and potato roti which lasts me two meals as it is huge! The prices are very reasonable here as well.
I wanted to update my review and give them a 5 because it has become evident that this is always going to...

Another great Yelp find. I was at a nearby clinic and was delayed thru lunch, so I called ahead to order for takeout for my wife and I. Two chicken roti were ordered and made fresh for the time I asked for. Met the owner who was really friendly and mentioned he might be opening another location! I hope its in Etobicoke.
Huge portion and very filling. Will visit again. Probably will sit it next...

The 1 star is specifically for the chicken roti; the actual experience was great. I'm sorry to say that the roti was essentially inedible. I've had to toss almost all of it. By an order of magnitude, the worst roti I have ever had. All respect to the people who love this place... just way below par for me. I was craving the amazing taste I get consistently over at Island Foods (King and... more
We love love love their rotis and almost have it once a week. The portions are so big that it's enough for dinner and lunch the next day. I'm not a huge fan of chick peas so I always order the parathas instead ($1 extra vs. roti). Be careful with the spice level when choosing mild/medium/hot. I can take a lot of heat but sometimes even hot is too hot for me as it's not always consistent. Do... more
I like the Roti and doubles here but I think the real deal is the "Bake and Fish" for only $6! Bake is a kind of fried bread that's light and fluffy. The fish is lightly battered with coleslaw. It's a good portion and very satisfying for the price. I prefer this to most of the fish tacos I've had lately and much better than a filet o fish. It's a must try.
Popped in here craving some shrimp spiced with Caribbean flavor. I remember coming here back in the day to eat some awesome food, so coming back here after so many years was déjà vu.
They close here at 8pm on weekdays, so I ordered for pick up before they closed. I ordered the garlic shrimp -which is to die for- along with rice & peas and a house salad which comes with it. The shrimp itself...

Just ok to me. (Feel a bit bad 'cause the owner/man behind the counter is really nice 'n friendly!) There really isn't much competition in terms of West Indian food in the area, just a bunch of fast food chain restaurants across the street.
This ground-level of what looks like a business building seems to be the only ethnic options in the area with a Thai, Viet (& its past revolving door of...

This is our favourite take out restaurant! We love the curries, roti and jerk chicken.
I'm a big fan of this place, the food is amazing, portions are big, the food can get pretty hot and the service is great. The curries are what make this place, my go to is goat curry with rice and pigeon peas.
As someone from Trinidad, I was very happy when I saw a Caribbean restaurant that was so close to my house. I am pretty picky with Caribbean food and I know I can't expect the Caribbean dishes here to be as authentic as those I'm used to back home. With that said, I was very happy with the food at Calabash. It's a little pricey in my opinion but for me, the taste and convenience is worth it.
