I knew my daughter was at the Curb Market so I asked her to bring me something to eat. She decided to stop at this place and pick me up some oxtails.
The platter was oxtails rice and peas and cabbage. Although I've had a lot of oxtail planters in Atlanta this one was different. The taste of the oxtails, the gravy, the peas and the cabbage were totally on point.
The oxtails were tender but not overcooked. The flavor was very good. I have to say the rice and peas were completely cooked but not mushy. Many times when you get these platters either the rice is crunchy or the peas are crunchy. The only thing I would have wanted is more gravy. They definitely had a good flavor. Finally someone knows how to cook cabbage. Either is too much or has no flavor in other places. This place cooked it just right. I don't know how much the planter calls exactly but I think my daughter said around $13. This price is kind of unheard of right now in Atlanta. Inflation has got the best of the food in the street and we as patrons understand but it's always nice to see a business kind of work with their customers.
I would definitely return to get more and to try something different. Give this business a shot whenever you at the...
Read moreAfrodish is gem! It is absolutely worth the trip to the curb market to sample their Afro-Caribbean dee-lites. The stewed spinach is to die for and their black-eyed peas will change your life. When I moved away from Atlanta I was so homesick that I made multiple attempts to recreate the magic of their curry goat and red-red in my own kitchen but it just couldn’t compare. Now that I’m back, however, I lament no more! Every time I visit, Ralph, the owner, always makes a point to stop and chat and ask after the fam. Do not forget to ask for a couple of sides of their house-made shito (Ghanaian pepper sauce) as well- it’ll blow your doors off! Be advised: you will forever compare all other island/west African food to Afrodish. Stop reading reviews. Grab your bike, hop in the car, make the walk, etc. etc. and get yourself down to Afrodish right...
Read moreHorrible. The people who are raving about this place are people who are not familiar with African or Caribbean cuisine. The jollof rice is lacking in flavor, real jollof is bursting with flavor. The curry goat was full of fat and bones. Not much edible there. The plaintains are deep fried and super dry. The black eyes peas were the best thing that I received. They actually tasted how the jollof should taste. And this I paid $10.68 for and didnt even get a "Thank you" and when I said "Your'e welcome" I received a look that could kill. You charge me $10.68 for sub par west african food and I couldnt even get common courtesty? No thanks! I will stick with African Fine Foods on Campbellton. Their...
