Reviews for Calypso Mama Caribbean Cafe in Greensboro, NC
I would have definitely gave 5 stars, because the last time I went it was delicious. However google has an open time of 12pm but... when I called they stated 1:30. So call ahead because I came from winston salem! Read more
Attended a NCA&T Football game and was looking for some authentic Carribean cuisine. This establishment was conveniently minutes... away. Staff was very nice. It is a takeout location but we asked if we could occupy a seat and table not designated for guest (it was busy with no seats available ) and they graciously let us sit at a table. Oxtails were absolutely awesome; Tender,flavorful and meaty. Steamed cabbage was great as was their peas and rice. We requested Roti and they were out. The cashier (who was sweet ) notified the chef and asked if a special order for. Once we notified them we were visiting and lived a hour anda half away, they accomodated us. Roti was on point!!!!!!! THIS is the kind of food and service that is worthy of 5 stars. Willhighly recommend this establishment. Keep preparing authentic food and offering top notch service and you will continue to besuccessful. See you in a few weeks. Read more
I ordered the oxtails with white rice and curried potatoes. Everything tasted good.
The people who run this place are so sweet and kind. They are always professional. The place is small but always clean and tidy.... Their food is also good. The only feedback I have is that someone is very heavy handed with the spice oil or peppers. If theycould dial it back some in the rice and cabbage, it would be perfect. We all love spice but this is not a normal amount of spiceespecially for sides dishes. Either way my greedy butt will still support them. They deserve it and we need good businesseswithin our communities. Go visit and show some love. Read more
The food was good, but entirely too spicy. There was pepper oil (I'm assuming Scotch Bonnet) in the rice and the cabbage, not to... mention the Stew Chicken. I'm not new to Caribbean food, I've enjoyed regional dishes from the islands for more than 20 years.There are dishes you expect to have a certain heat, but when everything is drenched in spice oil it makes the food inedible.Really is a shame.

Affordable prices and service is good. I ordered oxtail and shrimp curry and it took 40 mins to come out though she said 15, so... that was a bit of a drag. The food was tasty but I wish they had more sides. It was either rice & peas or white rice... cabbageor curried potatoes.... Read more
