One of the only unfortunate things about this place is that it took me so long to try it out! Moody (the owner) is as congenial as they come, with a friendly greeting and a conversation pretty much guaranteed when you come in. It's a walk-in place only, the atmosphere isn't highly developed -- this gets me excited 'cause I know that means the food is good enough to speak for itself. I can't speak for all the menu items here, but everything I've tried has been delicious! (my favourite being the goat curry roti) In addition, they're open 'til 3am on bar nights and offer "doubles", a classic caribbean snack that's basically a chickpea-pastry sandwich, for only $1.50! Its location in the center of downtown, the friendly service, and the delicious food make this place a must for anyone looking to explore what Guelph has to offer. read more

Guelph Caribbean Cuisine - Moody in the shop - Caribbean Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

this is the worse tasting food on the planet. i ordered a boneless chicken roti and i got a gristle roti i also ordered a stew chicken and the chicken was cold like from out the fridge which tells me that the owner serves people day old food. i am very serious about this place . it is the absolute worst restaurant on the planet. this is the absolute worse representation of any food that comes out of Trinidad and Tobago.!!! this opinion has been justified and tasted by Trinidadians. The worse based on culture any one from the country has ever tasted ... HOW COULD YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD EVER SELL A TRINIDADIAN A GRISTLE ROTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU FOR THIS......... and i have been to this place numerous times to make sure that it was not just by chance that he may have had a bad day. read more

Doubles are really good. Not too sweet, just right for me. Also got goat roti. Wish it had more curry or herb spices, but still really good! Would definitely go back again for the doubles! Thanks for the super nice service! read more

I really want to give it a higher rating because 1) their food is authentic and 2) customer service is wonderful (lady I dealt with is super friendly); however, I feel their pricing is a little higher than average and I wish their hours were longer. I did enjoy the chicken doubles (one of my favourites!) and chicken roti; will need to try their jerk chicken and rice next time around. So all in all, food is on point and pretty decently portioned but pricing and hours need some adjustments. If you're in Guelph and craving Caribbean, you'll want to try it out! read more

Food was really good. I got it delivered. Since I already had rice and peas at home, I ordered the jerk chicken and curry chicken. They were a little pricey for what you get. Everything else was great. read more

I have gone here 3 times now.... every time I have gotten grissely chicken. I have given it more chances than it deserves. Nothing good to say even the atmosphere is non sense. Please step it up cause I love Caribbean food. read more

Moody is no longer the owner. His sister now runs the place. She is a great cook. My favorite is goat roti. They care how they make food there. It is not your low grade McDonalds throw piece of mean, nook it and here we go. If you want to try something different but afraid, you are safe there. Food is very good and very different from typical American food. read more

So happy to have found a yummy place for Caribbean food in Guelph. Stopped in for lunch today looking for vegetarian options. Both the ladies in there were friendly and helpful. Good price for a good amount of delicious homemade food. Awesome for takeout lunch! read more

Wonderful local business, the food is made fresh every day. It's family run and the staff are kind people who know how to cook! I'm a frequent customer read more

I eaten here twice, and it's ok. I have eaten Jamaican in Toronto, and I tried not to have too high expectations. I jerk chicken wasn't very spicy although the rice and peas were pretty good. The lack of gravy made the whole dish a little dry, and I don't know what was with the bunch of dry shredded cabbage in the corner. I'd go back if nothing else was open. read more

The food is fantastic and authentic. The staff was very friendly as well. That being said it is quite shifty looking and the hours are so unreliable when we have tried to have lunch at one of the only Caribbean restaurants in town. read more

Love the doubles, loved the chicken. The owner is nice, the hours seem random but maybe I just go at random times

I am disgusted! As a Caribbean person I can tell you this place still exists because it is the only one in Guelph; it thrives only on that leg of being the only one- serving food like this in competition heavy Toronto would be unacceptable. Every time I go I do so out of supporting local but only when I am standing there I remember why I never go. Once (long time ago) I loved and supported this place - great quality and reasonable portions. Today I went for Oxtail - I wanted white rice which is / was a menu option. But as she boxed my food she announces from behind a hidden space (why can't I see what you serving back there?) it was only rice and peas. Being agreeable I said fine. I received a huge disgusting pile of old (once frozen rice & peas that smelled like nail polish) - three tiny pieces of dried up oxtail and some sad salad. I came home had a bite - threw it all out. 14$ waste - yes I tipped anticipating it would be good. Further, the place is depreciating in atmosphere. In about 2009 it was a nice hot spot. What happened? The people are great but darn I want well seasoned, fresh food that is aesthetically pleasing. And also the windows were steamed up - moldy scent or wet concrete; empty trays in the display and just down right gross. I hate writing bad reviews but they need to shut down and ship out. read more
