“ Best black and white pudding and pinwheel. I travel all the way from queens village just for this. But I must add. The wait to order and to get your food after you order is horrible. I been going here for years and it's the same. Best pudding and longest wait. So my 5 is for the pudding and pinwheel ”
“ Delicious food & amazing customer service. Thin/lite black pudding (SATURDAY ONLY) & traditional Guyanese cuisine. I placed my order at 12:52PM on Saturday afternoon (ordered 2 black puddings, small cow heel soup, 3 patties & 4oz sour) & got my food around 2:00PM.... I would have waited till 3:00PM cause the food was NICE. The staff was working as hard as they could (considering Catering orders, SEVERAL online orders and WALKINS- I’d estimate at least 40-55 orders per hour) THE BLACK PUDDING WAS THE STAR & next time I’m gonna hang in the car :) ”
