    Great Caribbean food, certainly the best I've had in Montreal.

    Tried the Oxtail, knife barely necessary!  Great flavors, Jerk Wings were flavorful and falling apart, but a bit soggy.

    Most definitely worth the trip!

    A good restaurant located in one of the worst neighborhoods in Montreal.  It's truly a shame where this place is located.  I know A LOT of people, myself included, who stopped going there not because of the food, but because of the crime in the area.  Broad daylight or dead of night, the local gangs don't seem to care.  They will jack you up, and beat you down if you resist.  

    But to the resturant itself, the food is great.  It's an icon of the community.  My only complaint is the dough in their doubles is too moist and gooey.  It's never properly cooked.  Their salad is also bland.  It's just cut lettuce with some tasteless orange dressing.

    But don't let those two things change your mind.  The overall food experience is really good.  It's not the best quality but it certainly has flavor, especially their king fish plate.   But a WARNING on if you get their chicken roti.  There is often a lot of bones in it (which is why I am giving a 2 star.. a signature Caribbean dish they managed to mess up so badly because someone is too lazy to take the bones out of the chicken?).  The prices are decent for what you get though.

    So if you unfortunately find yourself in that part of town, be sure to leave your ipod and wallet at home, and head on over to the Curry House.

    I went here a couple years ago. The rotis were fine. But what really made this visit a memorable one is that two women started a fistfight while waiting in line. Believe me, you never forget that day. Lol.

    Have you ever had an orgasm in your mouth?

    Well, that's exactly what happened to me when I tried their Jerk Chicken, flavors exploding everywhere. Spice, zest, heat, tang, all at the same time!

    The litmus test for Caribbean food has always been how well they do their Jerk Chicken, Oxtail Stew, Ackee (fish) and fried plantains. I have not tried all these items but based on my experience with the Jerk Chicken and Chicken Roti (voted the best in Montreal) that will soon not be the case.
    If you can't stand spice or heat, or like your food bland, then don't come here, go to Burger King instead. Vegetarians  also have options here as they are items like Vegetable Roti on their menu.
    All items on the menu are $12 or less, this place is a bit small, maybe seats 20 people max, and there is a take-out counter.
    Not high end dining by any stretch of the imagination but if you need a spice fix done right, then this is the place for you!

    Montreal's Caribbean community seems to know about this place, but few others do. Located at the end of the commercial strip on Victoria in Plamondon, it's easy to miss, which is a shame.

    I've been to La Maison de Cari a few times, and each time had a fantastic, reasonably priced meal. The roti are fresh, and stuffed with excellent, flavourful stews. Dinners include the range of Caribbean dishes: oxtail, goat, red snapper, etc. And I love the fresh sorrel drink.

    Is this the best roti in Montreal? I haven't tried many of the rest, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

    Excellent. Bloody good food - big portions, spicy and dripping with delicious sau---goddamit, I'm actually salivating as I'm writing. I'm calling right now to go pick up some curried goat with plantains. Awesome!!!!
