Caribbean American Gourmet

I knew I was gonna have a training for work in the area and decided this would be a good time to finally check this place out. I called my order in and the man on the phone was very pleasant and told me my food would be ready ASAP! By the time I arrived they were bagging up my order. I got the roti with curry chicken with a strawberry drink. This was a HUGE serving of food! So big that it wouldn't close and had to be tied down with saran wrap. I opened the roti and the scents smacked me in the face. This was the best curry chicken I've ever had. After tasting the food and meeting the owner, I'll definitely be back.

so I went to this place since I missed angies (they close promptly at 4pm) and I was very surprised.the owner was super nice, and told me he has been there for over 15 years. the food was served buffet style and it was great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is in the B'more area near Lexington market.

Awesome finds are always by mistake. I was in the area for something warm and hearty. To my dismay, the original spot I was looking was closed. As I was leaving, I saw the words Caribbean American. I instantly thought, I wouldn't be mad at Oxtails right now. And oxtails and rice & peas I got! So good! Absolutely tender and mouthwatering. Along with that I got cabbage and a hot buttered cocoa bread! Will definitely be visiting again. Mike has gained a new fan!

Friendly owner, delicious Trini food, incredible portions around the corner from Lex Mkt. They sell doubles if you order 1 day in advance. Totally worth it for biting into fluffy hot clouds filled with spicy, sweet, tangy goodness. Great for sharing with your office for lunch, or taking home as an appetizer for the fam. Because the only caveat with the doubles is you have to order at least 6. I'll come back and edit this later. When i have pictures and more time to say what i want. Just wanted to put it out there that doubles are here if you didn't know.

This is one of my favorite restaurant to patronize. The food is excellent. The portions are so large that Mike takes the time to wrap your container(s) with plastic wrap. I really, really, really enjoy the spicy jerk chicken with yams and macaroni and cheese. And don't forget the Coco bread and cornbread. Furthermore, the Half and Half is excellent. Please take the time to support Mike and his wife as they wonderful people.

Great grilled wings and terrific macaroni and cheese! Only one block away from Lexington Market.

Words cannot describe this place. They are the best at what they do. They will fill your platter to the point of stuffing it. I do not like my food to touch but honestly I did not care. I had sweet potatoes mac n cheese greens and bbq wings. I paid around 14$ it was worth every penny. I ate about 3 times from that plate throughout the day. I just wish they were open Sundays which is usually my off day.

I hate to write this review ...... However something must be said about this place ! I used to have so much respect for the owners/workers. They are a husband and wife who are always nice and courteous. But, that doesn't make up for the quality of the food. It is truly dismal ! I used to frequent them years ago but, stopped because of the price. The food has never been very seasoned but, the portions are huge. The fact that it wasn't the most seasoned caribbean food didn't bother me because, they were convenient to my job. And the food wasn't distateful, that was before !!!Nowadays, the portions are huge and not fresh!!!! Today, I ordered a steakfish platter. And the fish was crumbly and appeared to have been cooked in old grease. The macaroni was totally tasteless, as well as the collard greens that I ordered. I also ordered oxtail for a co-worker. They were unable to even eat more than a few bites. In all fairness, this is the second time recently that their food has been bad. I had food from there a week ago that was totally bland and wasn't very fresh. But, today was downright awful !!!!! I felt embarassed even recommending this place to my co-worker ! I know the recession has hit places hard and I was very hesitant to write this review. I'm sure business is slow because of the economy.However for the prices they charge, they are not even meeting the standard of a pack of ramen noodles!!! I'm truly disappointed ! I don't know how they are staying in business ! If my food had cost a dollar it still would've been too much ! I will never eat here again ! I hope the old fish doesn't give me food poisoning !

Anyways friendly !!! And great portions !!! I love the cornbread ! Also u can get ur aide's mixed .. I get Mac & cheese w/ greens in a bowl everytime ! Yummmmm

I wanted something wholesome but filling for lunch so I came by and got a potato and channa roti...absolutely delicious. It was like $9 and massive. The dhalpuri was soft and perfectly chewy, and the curry was delicious. I feel terrible that I went by myself and didn't pick anything up for my Trinidadian husband...but I'll just have him come back with me next time. Service was awesome and I will be trying everything else on the menu.
