This is my favourite restaurant to grab a bite when I need something quick and delicious. The food is very well priced. Their wings are probably better than just about anything at other bars and restaurants I've tried in Lindsay and a lot less $! Their chicken (or vegetable) roti is a great meal in itself for about $12. I love their chicken chow mein, and their home made samosas and spring rolls are fantastic. This is a very under appreciated take out restaurant in Lindsay. I really appreciate what they offer and get food there regularly. It's one of my 3 favourite places to eat in Lindsay!

Had the fish and Chips with my husband. Really delicious. A tad greasy then most but really enjoyed it overall. The tartar sauce was perfect to. The place was very quiet - needed some music or something but overall enjoyed it. Next I'm coming back to try the roti.

Lady was working by herself. They were out of several things we wanted to order (including noodles). We ordered some food and paid, the lady did not say how long though we asked. Other people came and went, and then she announced that she would cook our food. She said she would have to cook it from scratch (including rice) as they were 'out'. Long story short, we got food 45 minutes after ordering. What was supposed to be a red chicken curry was in a very thin red sauce, and what was supposed to be a Chinese food chicken dish was in the same red sauce. We did get broccoli in the curry. The thai soup was OK but short on ingredients. Overall, a disappointing food experience. The menu is too big for what the kitchen can do, it appears. While I was waiting, I heard the lady's son ordering a pizza on his phone. Pizza is one of their menu items. This place may be good for burgs and fries and wings and roti, if you go stick to those things. Not planning on returning.

We love this place. An amazing deal on beer & wings. So delicious. Rotis are also amazing! It is a small family business. They are super friendly & we have always enjoyed the food. It was a beautiful ride from Scarborough just to come here & enjoy the food.

I bought chicken roti and the chicken chunks in it were full of fat and carcass. Paid a decent chunk of money to just get some potato and rare grizzly fatty chunks of chicken in it here and there!. It wasn't even that flavorful either. Waste of money and FIRST TIME I TRIED IT. NOT A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.

Ok had the burger and fish and chips here before and they were good. But had the to here and wow, Raj didn't disappoint. It tasted authentically Trini.

General Tao's Chicken was not great and super expensive! You would expect being a "small business" they would have at LEAST, grocery store level of quality, but the chicken was chewy, tasted processed, and had inconsistent textures. Especially for 22$!!! I have had better quality chicken for half the price!! The breading on the chicken was super soggy and most certainly not “crispy.” I think overall, the quality of ingredients needs to be improved. However, the flavour of the sauce was great and the steamed rice was good, and the Spring Rolls were also very good. Just please get better chicken!!!

Just got my order and I regret purchasing it. We ordered the chicken noodle soup because we're sick and opted for contactless delivery. What I wasn't expecting was liquid chow mein and Texas toast. Furthermore, the third party delivery person had to wait for spotstar to open despite them being advertised as open. The food was disappointing and I ended up throwing it out. I don't think I'll ever consider this restaurant again..

Always enjoyed my meals here. Great roti, and fishnchips. Dinning are under construction but I was able to eat outside at their picnic tables. Front area now a varierty store with house hold supplies, beer and wine. Finally had their goat roti...it was excellent. You have to walk around to the back door to enter their dinning area which still needs some work.

Surprisingly great little quick food restaurant. I was impressed with menu which includes Canadian, Indian, Carribean and Thai! I had the chicken roti and am looking forward to trying the Thai food. Picnic tables in front where you can enjoy food to the noisy Lindsay traffic on Kent - and lots of inside seating. The owner Raj, seems like a great guy.

Arrived at 645pm. Sat down. No other people in restaurant. Tables were filthy. Luckily I had wipes in my purse. We were given 1 menu for the two of us. We ordered our food and water which was not drinkable. Tasted terrible. Food came 30 later. Burger and fries. Burger had no condiments on it at all. I was not given any cutlery. My son ordered a pizza. It came to the table in a take out box. No plate. Will not return

Certainly the best price in town. I tried 2lbs of naked hot wings and considering the price and taste, you can argue they really are the best wings in town.

I have called this restaurant numerous times and the first couple times everything went well, but the last 5 times a man has picked up and his ascent is very thick. I place my order and then he proceeds to say something I can t understand, I say pardon and he repeats himself yet again I can not understand him. This goes on a couple more times and he just hangs up on me. I really like the food here but this language barrier has denied me from ordering from here. Next steps I think should be putting another person on the phones.

December 22, 2022

These guys are a sad replacement for the last restaurant that used to be in this location. The even sound like the old name Spudsters

Their hours were posted differently in three places - including their storefront. The chicken roti wasnt consistent between visits. I will try again to make sure it wasnt a one time error..

Ive now had the wings, ribs and fish and chips. Overall Ive enjoyed the food. I ordered the haddock and chips for the first time. Fish was great, chips not so much. Im pretty sure they were cooked twice. Super brown and dried out. Also their gravy is like water. Please thicken your gravy.

December 22, 2021

I have been to many bad restaurants but this is hands down one of the worst ever. The food was disgusting, my pizza tasted like ragu smeared on a wet paper towel. Absolutely revolting. However, the service is what really made this experience extra horrible. My food was not brought to my table but instead left out on the bar for me stand up and retrieve. Then I witnessed who I assume is the owner/waiter straight up lie to another customer about only having one type of beer, despite a beer fridge with several options being in plane view. A bizarre and disappointing experience.

This establishment needs to reduce menu size to a few specialties. Their chicken balls and samosas are not at all authentic. Green thai curry was too sweet, not pleasing at all. Butter chicken tastes like Campbells Tomato Soup and chicken was hard to bite into. Curry chicken roti was not bad, though not the best Ive had

Grabbed this on the way home. We had lemon chicken and curry. The curry looked like snot also had the same slimmy consistency. The Lemmon chicken was way over deep fried so the skin was hard to chew. Also went to chew on a carrot and there was some kind of slime that was hard attached to it. The worst food I have personally ever eaten.
