Authentic Flavors, Heartfelt Hospitality Thrill Guests

Nestled snugly in a corner of Colliers Wood, this unassuming eatery turns out to be a hidden offbeat gem, drawing patrons into its modest yet deeply inviting embrace. Garfield, the Grenadian chef and owner, emerges as the heart and soul of this hub, punctuating each interaction with his affable charm and contagious humor. The atmosphere is steeped in warmth and authenticity, more akin to dining in a lively Grenadian kitchen than simply participating in a passive culinary venture. You’re more likely to spend an evening engulfed by musical energies and communal laughter than endeavoring to rush through your meal, as time here seems to toe to a different, leisurely Caribbean rhythm.

While some experiences vary—perhaps due to occasional shortages or longer wait times—there is no denying the authentic brilliance when the cuisine hits its mark. With dazzling highlights like the tender mutton curry touted as a culinary marvel by many, there’s much reason for eager anticipation. While the limited vegetarian options may suggest room for growth, Garfield is always willing to accommodate requests to ensure memoirs of good taste leave with you. For those beckoned by stellar jerk chicken or curry goat, the unpolished exterior veils food that resonates memory and makes patrons dream of subsequent returns. If anything, the spirited atmosphere and Garfield's heaping plates of genuine hospitality convert fleeting negatives into soulful anecdotes, stamping repeat visits on discerning gourmets' itineraries. — Audrey Al Dente
