The spice level is just enough that it gives you a kick but not enough that it's unpalatable because it's too hot. The curry chicken has lots of flavour, and paired with a side of beef patty ($4) was just the right amount of food to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon. Next time I come I'm gonna try the jerk chicken, definitely a spot to hit up if you're visiting this farmers market.

Unfortunately this place is only open Friday through Sunday as a part of Bountiful Farmers' Market…read more But don't underestimate the flavours that this restaurant carries. Owner (a couple) has a stand at Old Strathcona Famers' Market that is selling Caribbean hot sauce style but they opened up a Caribbean food stand in addition to their hot sauce stand. So far I have tried 2 different dishes; Ackee & Saltfish and Oxtail Stew. Both dishes were really good. It was my first time to try Ackee. Quite interesting fruit but it was good. Ackee is a fruit of the Sapindaceae soapberry family, as are the lychee and the longan. Since I grew up with saltfish, it was lovely to have it again after so long I didn't have it. The oxtail was so flavourful and tender. The rice that company the oxtail was really yummy. With a beautiful set-up of food court of Bountiful Farmers' Market, I think this little booth give a nice vibe to its market.

Delicious. They have delicious plates. I tried the curry chickpeas and it comes with two types of salad, rice, beans, and plantain. The plantain was by far the best. They also have lovely soursap drinks that they bring in from St. Lucia! Amazing! I am so happy we had a chance to try this little spot. The owners are lovely too. We chatted for a while and it was nice to just chat with someone after the pandemic. I'll be recommending this place to others and will be back. :) All the vegetarian patties were out though so we might try to swing by again to try some.

Another new Caribbean spot in town! Open for just 2 months, the owner, Denise (the restaurant's…read morenamesake) was super helpful in walking us through her menu. We tried the Pho Lourie, which are like little clouds of fried bread that we dipped in tamarind and hot sauce and was very delicious. We also had the oxtail, which had a really nice, rich flavour and tender, slow cooked meat, as well as the goat curry, which was also very delicious and just the right amount of heat. We ate our meal with some nice, fluffy roti, and some amazing meat patties (chicken and beef). The restaurant is simple and unassuming, and tucked away in an indoor strip mall on Whyte Ave (I'm a lifelong Edmontonian and had no idea this mall existed!). Definitely worth the visit.

The space has transformed under the new ownership, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a Bob Marley spirit that gives the room a relaxed, soulful energy. My photos don't capture how vibrant and welcoming it truly feels. I ordered the snapper fish meal and it was excellent -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. Today happened to be their last day before the owner takes a well deserved break, and they'll reopen on January 13. When he returns, the dine in area is fully set up with new furniture, ready for people to sit down and enjoy the food in this beautiful space. Saffron is a gem in the Stadium neighbourhood -- authentic, community minded, and full of heart. I'm grateful I finally stepped inside, and I'm already looking forward to returning when they reopen.

We were hungry and fortunately it was nice enough to sit outside although uncomfortable. Very limited menu. They had a white board of what they were out of more than what they had. We were here for Feed the Soul 10 dollar week, so luckily they had these things available. We had the stewed beef with rice and coleslaw and the Saturday special the chicken pelau. Both came with a small side of coleslaw. The stewed beef was delicous - Marinated in traditional green seasoning The beef is then browned using the traditional burning of sugar method which creates a unique flavour combination. It was really tasty but I am sure my husband wanted more beef. The coleslaw was creamy, crisp, and fresh. The chicken pelau was delicous. It was wonderfully spiced and hearty. It is the national dish of trinidad. Lovely. Well worth the visit
