The owners are RACIST! THEY SERVE RECYCLED FOOD! BEWARE!

My fiancé & I came here for lunch the day we got engaged. We were served by a Indian-Trinidadian man. The man serving us was initially quite rude to my fiancé (who is white). He said he felt like the man was annoyed with him being in the restaurant. The food honestly wasn't that great. I ordered the beef lo-mein. The beef was extremely dry, chewy & inedible. I decided not to complain, however the Indian man who works there noticed that I didn't eat my food & asked me if everything is ok. I lied & told him that everything is fine. He then pressured me to tell him why I did not eat the lo mein. I then politely told him that the beef was extremely hard to chew. This man then flipped out on my fiancé & I. He went into a racist rant about how black women are "difficult" "stupid" & "disgusting". He then said that people of different races should not mix. He then went on to say that his wife is indo-Trinidadian & he would never marry outside of his race. I was extremely shocked & angry by what I was hearing. This man clearly hates the very people who are coming into his restaurant! He seemed angry that I criticized the Lo Mein & was trying to tell me that I don't like the food because I am a "stupid black woman" who "complains about everything".

The man then went on to proudly explain how the lo mein is prepared by the restaurant. He said they make it at the beginning of the week & then keep refridgerating & heating up the same batch until it is all gone. Which perfectly explains why the beef was dried out & hard to chew. It was days (maybe weeks) old & cooked several times over! I was so shocked at the ease with which this man told me this! He seemed to think that serving people old food is totally normal! I guess he doesn't think his clientele (who appear to be predominantly black) deserve better! I complained to the female owner of the restaurant (I think her name is Bebita). She didn't care about my complaint & denied that her partner said anything racist. She clearly harbours the same sentiments!

This restaurant should be inspected by the health department & shut down. I will be filing several complaints for racial discrimination & food safety violations.

Very flavorful & delicious food. All the meat was tender & slow cooked ! I would recommend the chow mein as the do it really well. Goat curry was amazing & the appetizers were delicious. The oxtail was melt in your mouth, You have to go here! Cash only.
