By Gema VillelaIt is time for lunch, and your stomach is starting to rumble, but you are tired of eating sandwiches every day. You are lucky because I have a suggestion for you!
Located at 183 Dundas St. West (near ILSC) you will see a small restaurant called Coconut Grove, where they serve food Caribbean style. On the menu you can find chicken, beef, goat, fish and vegetarian dishes.
One of the characteristics of West Indian cuisine is the roti, which is a traditional bread. It's normally eaten with curries or cooked vegetables and is made most often from wheat flour cooked on a flat concave iron griddle. Just for comparison, if you are familiar with Mexican food, the roti is similar to a flour tortilla in appearance.
The cost of the cheapest dishes is $1.99, and the most expensive is $6.99. You can choose between small or large portions of fish and rice dishes, each at a different price. The service is friendly, and they are patient with people who don't speak English very well.
If you are Muslim and follow halal food standards, Coconut Grove is a good option for you. For everybody else, the place is clean and hygienic. The food is spicy and tasty.
