Harry Singh's Original Caribbean Restaurant

On my first day in Minneapolis, I decided to walk over to Harry Singh's. I was a little concerned by the boarded up glass door but decided to forge ahead and I'm glad I did. Harry is a friendly elderly man from Trinidad and Tobago. He is apparently very well known in Minnesota, particularly for his curries which I will be sure to try the next time I'm in state. Personally, I'm never able to resist jerk chicken and so upon sitting down, I promptly placed my order for jerk chicken and plantains. Unfortunately he was out of Caribbean punch but he made me a mixture of sorrel and ginger beer that was pretty good although a bit sweet for me. When my jerk chicken arrived at my table, I was in awe of the sheer amount of food I had unknowingly ordered (and very glad I hadn't ended up ordering the curry as well as one person) and of the smell. It was so hot it was smoking and I could immediately smell the flavors were legit and the chicken would be spicy. This jerk chicken was spicy in a way that sneaks up on you. I was surprised to feel my eyes watering! One of the other patrons was coughing from the spice of his meal so if you're not used to spicy food, definitely order a glass of milk in advance!The plantains were perfectly ripe, sweet and well cooked, just like I would make for myself!Harry was very kind and sweet and kept coming up to my table as well as his tables of regulars to chat and exchange stories. I'm not always the most chatty but I didn't feel uncomfortable speaking with Harry. Overall, I enjoyed my time and my meal at Harry Singh's and will be happy to return the next time I'm in the city

I tried this restaurant after a friend recommended it. I got the jerk chicken with red beans and rice, and a Jamaican meat patty. you get such a huge portion! probably enough for three or four people with the Jamaican jerk chicken and the red beans and rice. I took it to go and brought it home and ate it. My mouth was on fire, and I love spicy food, but I couldn't stop eating it because it was so good!

The food is DELICIOUS! We visited this restaurant when traveling to Minnesota from Chicago. There was ample seating at the establishment. My daughters even had some room to stretch their legs before we headed back home to Chicago. We ordered the jerk pork roti and the curry goat roti. Both were so flavorful and just the right level of spicy. Harry Singh runs the shop. He is the most pleasant and delightful man. We talked with him for a long time. Harry makes his own bottled hot sauce, and we bought two bottles to bring home to Chicago with us. We can't wait to go back someday! They opened at 12 pm on Saturday. I only wish they had opened earlier for breakfast!

Phenomenal food in an inviting environment. Harry is a wonderful host and his jerk dishes are unmatched. Portion sizes are big and the flavors are even bigger!

Harry..... wow!!!!!! How do you do it?!?!?!? This food is absolutely incredible - unique, boasting with flavor in every bite, and SO authentic. Harry Singh's is the real deal.MY ORDER- Jamaican Patties: to die for. These things just had me shaking my head because of how good they are.- Fried Plantains: Cooked absolutely perfectly, the caramelization on the outside is flawless, and the flavor is not too sweet and not too bitter. I've eaten many plaintains in my travels, these are the best yet.- Roti- Red Beans- Jerk Chicken House Specialty

Harry's is authentic Caribbean food and probably the hottest in the cities. It is still run by Harry Singh, who is there every day, and will take your order, cook the food and bring your bill. Super guy who is still going strong after all these years. We ordered some roti - jerk chicken and curry chicken. Also, an order of chicken curry over rice and slaw. Great flavors and the portions are huge. To drink, you get a large pitcher of water. You will need the water to quench the heat from the food which has serious spice. We ordered some Ting, a traditional Caribbean soda which grapefruit based. It went well the food and I recommend it. You can order your dish with four different heat levels - mild, average, hot or hot-hot. Order it mild and then add hot sauce from the jar on the table. Even the mild has some serious heat so be careful what you do. There is even a warning on the menu!If you are looking for some real Caribbean dishes in a low key atmosphere on Eat Street, this is the place.

Many people think the worst part of living in Minnesota is the cold, but its actually the white, lutheran passive aggressiveness that inevitably infiltrated the cuisine here. When a large demographic of people treat salt and ketchup as cayenne and hot sauce, you should be wary of what anyone recommends you for food.Enter Harry Singh. Sometimes I wonder if Harry Singh is real or not. The eccentric and mysterious elder of heat has been at it for decades now. Purveyor of flavor and humor, he has saved me as a transplant minnesotan but destroyed my ambitious gut and sphincter many times with his creations. When I have guests in town, I am quick to tell them that Harry's Jerk Chicken Roti is my favorite dish in this gotforsaken state. I do not hide that the experience is like that of watching Hereditary or riding a roller coaster. It is fun, it is a thrill, but you will suffer in one way or another. It comes with the turf, and you know what you are signing up for in the heat arena. if you can't handle spice or don't like it, go get Quang or Glam Doll up the street, places that cater to the aforementioned Minnesotan above. There's the KISS ARMY, then there's Harry's Army. I am proudly enlisted in both. Rock on Harry, you got my buck.

Our group LOVED the food. Our nieces were visiting from out of state and they had selected Harry Singh's restaurant because they love spicy food and this did not disappoint! The fried plantains were perfect, and we ordered the lamb with rice and beans, jerk chicken, jerk pork and the curry chicken. It was all so flavorful and delicious! The portions were large but we're looking forward to eating the leftovers. The restaurant is small and cozy and the walls are covered with painted murals. We'll be going back again.

The food here is so delicious! It sounds funny but you can taste the love. I went for the first time today and I am very happy my family decided to go. I will return. Harry is such a nice man. He was very welcoming and kind.

Your original Jamaican food with real patties and cocoa bread when it hasn't sold out she'll call ahead if you're looking for Coco bread because they don't always have it because it shows up so fast brought patties and everything else your chicken. Everything is great they're gonna give it a try
