Taste of Tropical — Restaurant in Atlanta

I am usually not one to write reviews but I just left and was very impressed. I have been coming here for a couple of years and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. This time was no different. I called in my order and read some reviews while searching for the phone number. Some of them were the exact opposite of what I experienced. This time I went in and there was a guy ordering in front of me who was obviously slow and hostile in his behavior. He couldn't read so the owner had to read off a piece of paper that someone had written for the guy saying what he wanted. When the owner told him the price he immediately started to curse and to rant because of it then refused to give him what the agreed upon price was. After being influenced by the people in the ever growing line he finally relented and gave the owner the price of the food. All the while the owner was nothing but gracious and humble. Respecting his customer even as he was being obviously disrespected. Customer service at its finest. I don't know his name but this guy was a real example of not only awesome customer service but a real testimony of kindness and graciousness that I for one was awed to witness. God...

I am very picky about Caribbean food. I heard that this place had great veggie patties, so I decided to pay a visit. I ordered the Jerk Tofu plate with two veggie sides. The first thing I experienced while eating was the incredible jerk sauce that is so delicious and flavorful! It has the perfect amount of spice. The second thing that I noticed is how the tofu is prepared. To this day, I have never have tofu prepared this well--even at solely vegan restaurants! It is somehow crispy, yet juicy and the flavor seeps though each bite! They have other flavors for the tofu, so even if you don't like jerk, there is something for you! The portion is GREAT (along with the veggies) and very well-priced.

Also, for any roti lovers, the roti skin (when they have it) is authentic to the Trini/West Indian culture! They have a veggie and tofu option for the roti as well.

The only thing that would make it better is if it was all vegan!...

Had a really great experience with this business the first day. I ordered the curry tofu, collards and Mac and cheese. Was excited to add another spot to my list with veggie options. I went back 2 other times within the same week hoping for consistency. Twice they didn't have collards available and waited until I arrived to pick up to tell me. I even called the 3rd time to make sure collards were available- she said they were cooking and would be ready in 30 min. I arrived after 30 min as instructed. No collards available period. The curry tofu on the first day was excellent. The curry tofu on the 2nd visit was flavorless and dry. Cabbage was flavorless. Brown stew tofu didn't taste recognizable and was just ok. Lima beans were ok. Broccoli lacked flavor. Will be a long while before I try this place again but holding out hope for...
