Gone here twice and both times it was good. I have tried two of the soups: the corn soup and fish soup, both were fantastic. I have also tried the fish dinner and I found the gravy for the fish very flavourful. The service was good and friendly. My only con is I wish they took plastic I.e credit cards as I do not always have cash.
As a vegetarian, Bake and Things is definitely my favorite food option near Brooklyn College. The potato and channa buss up shut is so good, although sometimes the chickpeas are a little on the hard side. I've never gotten here early enough to try the doubles, but maybe someday *fingers crossed*.
I've stopped in here a few times for a quick dinner and it's always been delicious. I'm pretty new to Caribbean food and have stuck with some of the basics (chicken curry, beef roti, peas and rice, etc.) but I'll definitely be back. And the service really is great, they're even tolerant of my super naive questions about what's in the mixed vegetables and whether the chicken curry has bones.
Great spot, can't wait to try everything else.
Hearty & Tasty Caribbean fare at an excellent price.
I woke up from a drunken night in the city craving a curry chicken roti. So I made my way to the Flatbush junction to hit Bake and Things. This is a no frills order your food and go kinda spot. I walked in and in 5 mins I was leaving with my coveted curry roti.
The roti: just plain delicious. This is Caribbean comfort food at its finest. Perfectly spiced curry chicken and potatoes wrapped in a warm roti shell. The chicken was nice and tender and spicy but not too spicy. The savory chicken with the roti bread is a perfect balance. You can sop up all the gravy up with the roti shell. The best thing about the roti is the fact that it's flavored perfectly with out needing additional salt, or any type of sauce. It's perfectly delicious on its own.
At some point I'm going to venture further into the menu at bake and things, I'd like to try their doubles. And other popular items on the menu. For now they get 4 stars. A strong 4 star rating, my meal was delicious and for only $6 I got my money's worth.
Poooulourie! 8 wonderful little globes of dough soaked in tamarind sauce. Every' ting good mon. Every 'ting goooood.
Goat Roti was perfect. Slayed me deliciously.
Nap time.
Curry goat with rice and peas, two other sides. $9. They pack the thing so tight that the food would bust out any second. Best curry goat I had ever had. Cash only at the take out counter.
I should say, there are other stuff like the fried shark and the salted fish, and fried conch, which I did not try because it's the wrong time of the day.
For someone who loves Jamaican food, I think there are perhaps better places in Queens for the most authentic experience, but for someone who had only been to Jamaica in the 90s and loved everything she ate there, this is pretty legit.
I like how moist the rice and peas are. The curry goat is very meaty and delicious and filled with nice flavor. The seasoning on that dish was fantastic. For a quick take out place, this place has a lot of varieties, the best being roti which I think is a Jamaican Indian version of burrito.
There are so many things that New York amazes me about, this being one of them. I could spend a week eating nothing but that, but then, I was due to head out back to the island of Manhattan, where a foofi fancy pants dinner reservation awaits in the West Village. Well, only in this magic land of New York, can you get such diverse treats all in one day, with one 2 train that separates and unites us all.
I love the Caribbean and I love the food equally. This is a take out type of place where most of the food is premade and you choose what you like and they pack it up for you. Judging from the menu, you find a lot of things from Trinidad. They have a bit of space against the windows to eat in, but I always prefer to take it to go and eat at the comfort of my own home. I usually get the dinners and you get to choose 2 sides.
I really like the curry chicken with mix vegetables and potatoes as sides along with rice and beans. The chicken is always tender and soaked with flavor. The sides are really great and very lightly seasoned. The rice is cooked with beans and it just creates a really nice taste. I haven't had anything I don't like. Look out for daily specials. This is a great option for a quick, filling, and inexpensive meal.
I only love only love it when there is doubles doubles…but if I have to settle the chicken curry roti is legit….can't leave without the calls loop either. Just try it, you will love it and one roti is hugeish
