😠 Original post (02/28/19): I’ve ordered the curry shrimp roti & curry vegetable roti from this place, both amazing! The shrimp was perfect - tender, juicy and not over cooked like every other place I’ve ordered from, including Iris Cafe (who had rubbery, over cooked shrimp in their roti). Update: 03... People often mention roti, order, potatoes, shrimp, curry,

    Original post (02/28/19): I’ve ordered the curry shrimp roti & curry vegetable roti from this place, both amazing! The shrimp was perfect - tender, juicy and not over cooked like every other place I’ve ordered from, including Iris Cafe (who had rubbery, over cooked shrimp in their roti). Update: 03/01/19 (All orders thru DoorDash app) When I first ordered from here on 2/15 I got the curry shrimp roti & requested extra potatoes. Everything was perfect. For my 2nd order on 2/28 I assumed potatoes came with all roti so when I placed my order (veggie roti) I was disappointed to find no potatoes. No big deal b/c I figured I assumed wrong. However today (3/1) I placed a 3rd order for shrimp roti & requested extra potatoes as I did with my first order. I got a call from a guy at the store about 20 minutes after placing my order; he said the order he received did not specify if I chose rice & peas or not for my side. Confused, I said the app didn’t offer any sides, as no roti I’ve gotten from Hot Pot comes with a side. The employee then tells me that I couldn’t choose a side b/c they don’t offer roti (which doesn’t make sense since I had just ordered roti), AND proceeded to tell me that they don’t put potatoes in the roti, just vegetables (again doesn’t make sense as I requested them in my first order & got them with no fuss). I then told him that my email confirmation in fact says curry shrimp roti, and that is had potatoes before. He said I didn’t, but that he’d do it anyway. All in all, I’ll no longer be spending money here. Order was placed at 12:05 pm w/25 min wait time (I live across the street), according to the ticket on my bag the order was entered at 12:35 pm, and arrived to me at 12:52 pm. First place to not offer potatoes with roti standard & after being told I’d get extra potatoes, I ended up with a total of FIVE SLICED PIECES, not even the equivalent of half a potato. Also not sure why this time they didn’t know I ordered roti. I noticed in DoorDash it doesn’t specify roti after ordering, but in my email it says roti. In UberEats however it DOES specify roti in the name of the item after ordering. Attached plenty of pics with my email confirmation compared to the order confirmation, as well as the difference in DoorDash vs UberEats menus, the food and (lack of) potatoes. (Cropped out my address in various screenshots)

    Great food and service. I had the oxtail platter. It was so good. The young lady serving is very helpful

    I wish I could get my money back. I spent well over an hour browsing through Uber Eats, deciding what to order and settled on Hot Pot Grill. Major mistake! The shrimp salad was nothing more than welted shredded lettuce that’s used for subs with a few carrots and cherry tomatoes tossed in. Furthermore, the shrimp was miniature. I also paid for extra pineapple jerk sauce and didn’t receive it. It’s a one and done for me.

    Curry goat 🐐 😆 Great food dishes. Nice atmosphere that feels and looks like a Jamaican spot in Jamaica. Bob Marley is there...in spirit on the wall decor Great music 🎶

    The Caribbean spices fill the air as soon as the door opens, so you know dishes are well seasoned. Great customer service from the cashier to the owner. Will be back to sample other dishes.

    Common sense would tell you that I’m not saying put soya mushroom sauce as a condiment to the oxtail. I’m saying to use it as a main ingredient…duhh. It’s a main ingredient in Jamaica. The food was lacking flavor and you all should be ashamed of yourselves. If you feel such a way, maybe you should refund my money back!

    So I was feeling hungry and wanted rasta pasta to eat and I drive 20 minutes just to buy it from this restaurant for $18 and omg I regret it the pasta taste so bad I had to throw it away, I would never buy back from here and I won’t recommend this place to anyone 🤢 I did call and they said that they were closing idk 🤷‍♀️ so that simply means that they couldn’t do anything about it
