Tasty’s Caribbean Restaurant and Catering

I am not from this area and was just driving through feeling hungry and craving Roti. The store front looks nice and colorful and their sign catches your attention easily, but when you walk in it looks actually pretty sad. The store is very bare and there are no decorations. Being a little bit concerned about the quality of their food I pulled out my phone and started loading up Unilocal.Their hotbar reminded me a bit of a nursing home cafeteria, you couldn’t see any of the food it was all covered up in this stainless steal containers. The soft drink frideges were completley empty and you had one box lying somehwere on the floor in there with a couple of cans in it. Honestly it looked like the place just got robbed and someone cleaned it out.
Then I suddenly see two stars on Unilocal and I wanted to run for the hills but the staff already came out from the kitchen and asked me for my order. I felt bad for the place and I thought that I can risk my $ 9.- for a Chicken Roti, what I disliked the most about the previous review was the chicken bones found in the boneless chicken. So the lady must have thought that I was crazy but I repeated myself like 5 times that I don’t want chicken bones in my roti.
She brought the roti bread (chapati) from the kitchen and it looked so fresh and fluffy, my spirits got lifted. Then she opened one of the stainless steal containers and there was the steaming concoction with the potatoes (my favourite part), it looked also fresh and delicious… there was hope! Then she opened the container and I repeated myself once more, please no bones. At that point she just gave me a look like *are you serious* :)
She wrapped in this thin parchment paper and put it into a styrophone box which I think was the only downside from the entire Roti. Because as I was eating it while driving the whole thing was kind of falling apart on me. So definitly take a fork and knife with you if you are eating it on the way. If they would have wrapped it into that sturdy aluminum foil the Roti would have been perfect. Everything was fresh, the potatoes had the perfect consistency, not to hard not to soft. Chicken had NO bones! Yay! :)
Not that I will every be back in that area but if I would and I would be craving a Roti I would come back to this place…

Hubby actually found Tasty’s while walking the dog one night and texted to ask if I wanted to try it, to which I texted back «GIMME, GIMME CHICKEN ROTI!»
So hubby picked up a chicken Roti for me that was HUGE about 9×6×3 inches!!!
I was crestfallen though as my huge roti was more filler than anything. Mushy stewy and chick pea infused vs chicken-​ey, plus it was supposed to be boneless but I caught about two or three bites that had shards of bone :(also the roti shell was tissue thin and was sticking big time to the wax paper wrapping.
The one good thing though was that there is enough roti for two meals (well for me anyway) and for some reason it tasted way better the day after as heated leftovers, and with the careful use of a fork and knife to fish out the bone bits.
I’ll give Tasty’s 2.5 for now, I may have to go back to try the jerk chicken or Trini double though, so for now TBC…
P. s. This location does not have a telephone # listed so it’s probs best to contact via website.
