Calabash

I went out for lunch with the work crowd to Calabash, a Caribbean place on Erin Mills just North of QEW. For $5.50 I got a veggie roti which consisted of some potatoe/cabbage/onion curry wrapped tortilla style in a very tasty dough type thing. In general, the rotis were all pretty hot and I would recommend ordering mild unless you like really really really hot food. They had some rice type dishes for a little bit more that also looked good and seemed to be alot of food. The rest of the work crew did not seem very impressed by the Caribbean, so I will warn you that it may not be for everyone. The place is rather small, so not the best for a big crowd on a Friday.

The verdict, in Ian's system, is a G for good. Is you want some in the VT (very tasty) range, make sure to go to the Roti Palace downtown on Bathhurst just off Bloor. For much lower prices, the tastiness factor is much improved. Also recommended are the knock-off caribbean pineapple drinks that are actually manufactured in Brampton or something like that! Ha ha, pretty funny...but tasty. Service is a little spotty in the speed department and they have this older dude that is pretty much the slowest cashier you will ever come across. Not a big deal though as the place isn't all that busy. Sort of gives the place a little character.
