Liberty Avenue aka Little Guyana is littered with Guyanese style Chinese food (henceforth referred to as Guy-Chi. You heard that term here first) restaurants like Carifesta . Over the years, I've had the dubious honor of sampling many of them, some good, some bad, some very ugly. While Carifesta may be the least impressive looking (2 tables with about 4 chairs each, no wait staff etc.), I can say that their food is way ahead of any other Guy-Chi restaurant and that includes the famous Bamboo Gardens and Kaiteur. Last week I had food from Bamboo Gardens and the fried rice lacked flavor while the chicken was dry and tough. The quality has been steadily declining in the last few years. A few days later I had the exact same meal from Carifesta and it was like night and day. Their fried rice was superb and the chicken in the rough was moist, flavorful and tender. I didn't finish it all (big portions) and every family member who went into the kitchen sampled the leftovers. They all wanted to know where the heck the food was from because it was so good. I've tried the Lo Mein, the 1/2 chicken, the jerk chicken. Everything is great, even the hot sauce! I would recommend takeout as opposed to trying to eat in, but Carifesta is definitely a must try.
