My wife and I were hankering for some good 'ol Southern Comfort Soul Food but what we found at Cafe Metro wasn't good, it was stupendously delicious!! Oh what a great gem this place is; located in Teaneck's Cedar Lane.
Ben was our server, a very nice, amiable and polite young man, definitely a keeper.
For beverages my wife got a home-brewed Ginger beer, I opted for hot cup of Ginger Tea (it's cold out). She knew right away that her Ginger beer was original and made fresh! My Ginger tea had pure pieces of Ginger. The drinks hit the right spot.
For entree she ordered the Fungi, which is corn meal with mixed Okra, it came with Saltfish & Eggplant. Oh boy! What a treat! Her meal was full of flavor and the Saltfish tasted fresh.
I ate Brown Stew Chicken, it came with rice & Peas, sweet plantains, & vegetables. Oh so much flavor, this food was superb!! Kudos to Bernadine, she's a master-chef that one notices that she cooks with love.
We have found a new and amazing place to eat some...
Read moreNever eaten Caribbean styled cuisine from Antigua before. Went with traditional chicken curry meal with rice & peas, side of veggies, plantains, and rum cake. The meal was surprisingly savory and scrumptious!!
The flavors, herbs, and spices were deliciously balanced throughout the entire meal. The chicken tenderly melted off the bone and I had to ask for more gravy because it was that gooood!!!
They have to be a little careful/backoff with the salt- just a tad, but other than that the flavor palette was very well done like I wanted "seconds." Even the tea-real ginger root, honey, lemon-was on point! The portions were ample, service was excellent with frequent check-ins, and prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is very clean, friendly with an eclectic crowd. Wheel-chair accessible, definitely family friendly with free WI-FI.
I understand they have a Sunday Brunch for $11.99 from 11:00am- 3:00pm. I plan to check it out again very soon and bring some friends and so...
Read moreTried this new restaurant on a whim, and not disappointed. Ordered the Curry Chicken with a side of the Rasta Pasta. The meat was so flavorful, and cooked just right where it fell off the bone. The vegetable sides were fresh and crisp, and the pasta cooked just right.
The cafe is clean and everything seems new, and apart from some wobble in the table, everything looked perfect. The bathroom was spotless. The server, a younger female whose name I unfortunately did not get, was attentive and always smiling.
I was the only customer in the cafe when I arrived, which disappointed me, because I hope they get busier —...
