Tasty Caribbean NY — Restaurant in New York

While the food is fantastic, the customer service is atrocious and needs to be remedied immediately.

Earlier today, around 1:30pm, I went to get a veggie dhalpuri roti, and I was the second in line. Another lady comes into the store behind me, and the lady taking the orders completely passes over me standing in line to ask the lady behind me her order, before asking my order with an extremely patronizing "and what would you like, young man?"

Annoyed, yet remaining polite, I gave my order, and I wanted for the food to be prepared. The cashier decides to yell out "I need help out here, cause it seems like this young man has to go back to work or is going to work or something." I was extremely disrespected and embarrassed at this point, but I still waited quietly for my order.

The order came up to $7.62, and I gave the lady $10.65 (two $5 bills and 0.65 in coins.) I only got three cents back, which I put in the coin jar, but noticed I never got my $3 in change back.

When I pointed this out, politely, the lady countered with "You didn't give me two fives. You gave me exact money." I offer a rebuttal, as I know how much I gave her, and she refused to give me my change. I called her out in front of the other patrons, stating that I, nor my family will be bringing our patronage back to Tasty Carribbean if you are going to be robbing people of their money. She feigned offense at my statement, and gave me back my change, with this retort: "Alright, alright, no love lost, but you gotta get your marbles checked."

She called me crazy in front of the other patrons. I was appalled at the sheer disrespect that this clerk showed me. I called her out for her actions again, and I stated I will not be spending my money here again as I took my food and left.

They need to understand how customer service works. The woman's behavior was appalling, and the owner needs to discipline her for her actions.

Go to Ali's on Fulton and Nostrand instead. They actually treat their customers with respect...

Two words: Dissapointing and disgusting. I decided to try here because I love soup, specifically corn soup. I usually go to Bake N’ Tings, a popular Trini restaurant in the area. Their corn soup is to die for. It’s excellent, but they only serve it on Monday’s. I came to Tasty Caribbean to try their soup, and Lord did I waste my money. The corn soup is disgusting. I’ve had corn soup from muiltple Trini restaurants and people from Trinidad, and this is the first time I’ve actually disliked corn soup. First of all, when I came into the restaurant the soup was so thick like a stew. Clearly a LITTLE bit of water needed to be added. I asked them if they have any more new pots of soup in the back or if need be, can they add a little of liquid to the current soup. Why did these people add the whole Atlantic Ocean to the soup?? They diluted the soup soooooooo much I was so confused. Even if it wasn’t diluted, I’m sure it would still have the same horrible taste. Please tell me why the soup tasted like pure GOLDEN RAY (Trini Margarine) and water. No flavor, nothing. Tasted like pure butter water. I bought two soups, one for me and one for my friend. I let my friend try the soup without warning them about how nasty it was. They spit the soup right out just as I expected. We both thought the soup was disgusting. Do better next time!! Put some tender loving care into that soup. I usually dream and crave corn soup, your corn soup gave me nightmares!!!! Ugh I want to throw up everytime I think of it. And by the way your soup is way over priced. You charge the most in the area for a large vegetarian soup. All the other spots in the area are $6 or...

Really I don't know how to feel about this place, if it's not bad food it's perpear to get cursed out so i went in to get food at this restaurant and someone is ordering in front of me a Elder person a tall lady serving her the lady who is buying told her she packed the food sloppy because it is spilling all over and she has not left the store yet the lady who sold her a tall lady Indian started to curse the lady out like crazy and it was so disrespectful and distasteful like the food I don't know if disrespecting customers is a new protocol for this establishments but disrespecting elderly people and telling them that they are lonely I don't have a beeping man that's why they came to buy food miserable, is really degrading and shows lack of respect for oneself that lady should of apologize to that woman matter of fact you don't deserve to be selling customers if you have no composure for the public if you want to curse people out stand up on a corner because you are bring down people business and to the short lady who stepped in and took cared of the situation I applaud you your compassion to work is what made me bought food that day that lady lucky wasn't me she was...
