Uber Eats Order: To be fair, I don’t know about the service or atmosphere because I’ve never actually been inside. The last time I ordered bake and shark, it wasn’t fresh, and the 5 stage porridge I got wasn’t good either. I wanted to try something different to give this place another chance, I’ve given it three chances, and this is my LAST! The only reason they’re convenient is because they’re the only spot open early in the morning if you want island food around 6 AM. Not worth the $16 on Uber! The dumplings were tough and had banana stains, the cheese pastry was burnt, and the ackee was not worth $9 at all.
I want to start by addressing the service. The attitude of the staff member who served us was unfortunately quite poor. Since a lot of items on the menu weren't available, we had to ask about dishes one by one. The server was visibly annoyed ("long-faced") and didn't hide his irritation, but to his credit, he did answer all of our questions. Just be prepared for this kind of interaction. Now for the good part: the food! Knowing the service was sub-par actually helped us not be affected by it, and we were able to fully focus on the meal. The food here is truly, exceptionally delicious. It was well-prepared, flavorful, and a genuinely great culinary experience.
Saturday, January 30, 2026 My friend introduced me to this restaurant, so I decided to go and try the food, The food was very salty. I ordered over $100 worth of food. I ordered the white rice with pumpkin. The pumpkin did not have no taste. It did not have no seasoning and it was not well flavor. I ordered the oxtail. The oxtail was not soft enough, and it was too salty. I ordered the Pollari it was nice and soft, but it was too salty. I ordered 6 bake and selfish the bake was nice and big. It was soft, but the selfish did not add enough seasoning enough flavor and it was salty. I ordered a coconut buns. The buns was no good. I ordered two egg balls. The egg balls was salty and they didn’t have no flavor. I know about catering or cooking Guyanese food. I’m very familiar with how it shoul
Theres better places around. With better food, better portions, better customer service. Make this place your last resort. My money was definitely not well spent. I ended up just giving it away to the homeless man outside. I completely lost my appetite. Once I saw how they skimp on the portions. Overcharging and have the nerve to have bad attitudes. I asked to speak to someone in the back . A woman comes out on fire talking about how she's not Jamaican she's Guyanese and she went to culinary school , i'm wrong and she knows what she's doing. I was blown away . I should've known not to Go there. I tried once before to order on Uber eats and had to cancel the order because they said no one was there to make the food, I initially told them to cancel on their end but they never did. I sat ar
Don't ever try to order online from this store. No matter what time of the day it is, they're ALWAYS out of items, yet on the app, it will say that they have it!! Ive tried on multiple different occasions to order, and I can never get my entire order, just disappointing!!! On one occasion they literally just canceled my entire order because they were out of everything, and yet they do not put "out of stock" on the app, when they're clearly out of the items. As a caribbean person, you try to support each other, but this store could care less. Today was my last straw, I tried my luck again, and as usual, they had neither of the 2 items I order. I was truly disgusted!!! I know I can spend my money elsewhere and I will. But people just need to know what to expect from Spice n ting!!
