Caribbean Food YYC

[mcglutton]

Anybody out there know of any good Carribean resteraunts in Calgary?

i used to go to this place called "What's Up?" -- on 17th across from where Detour used to be. This was all a few years ago, and i've heard they've moved, but are still open. The guy who ran/runs that place is great.

They've moved to the corner of 17th and 5th SW, next to 7-11.

We like Joycee's at Edmonton Tr and 1st NE. McGlutton, what sort of "Caribbean" are you asking for? Calgary, like all of Canada, is very thin to nonexistent wrt Spanish Caribbean but has a decent number of Jamaican places and a couple of Trini ones.

spanish carribean sounds great but I was asking about jamaican

Oops, I found this after I made a new thread. Maybe they can erase that one.

So I was wondering if anyone remembers The Island Experience on 10th in Kensinton? I may be nostalgic but have never found another place that is quite the same. Specifically their parathas with curry lamb.

+1, I used to "live" at Island Experience and never found anything to compare.

This must be the roti place that closed right before I moved to Calgary 12 years ago. I never got to try it.

There's a fair bit of good Jamaican in Calgary. Trinidadian roti, not so many. That's what I go to Toronto for :-)

There seems to be a hole in the Calgary market for trinidadian roti and doubles I agree. I CRAVE this as I grew up with a trinidadian family and we had regular Sunday feasts. If anybody hears of a good place opening up please post!
