Kalypso Restaurant

I am shocked. I have been going to Calypso since I was about 15 and I’m 30 now. It used to be the best Jamaican food ever they used to have such good flavor, but now the oxtail is so fatty that I can’t even bite through it and the gravy is a slimy dog food like texture. It’s so disgusting. The slaw isn’t the same. the smell isn’t even the same. The flavor is really horrific and I am just so saddened that all of the Jamaican restaurants I grew up with in Buffalo have gone downhill. Before I even open the bag, I was like why does it smell different? It literally smells like dog food and when I tried it it the slimy nasty gravy. It’s just disgusting. I’m so sad that this is what calypso has come to.

Absolutely the worst thing I’ve ever ordered. The food as absolutely disgusting and I’m pretty sure the food was rotten. The chicken was so soft it basically became paste. The rice I’m pretty sure was rotten. I ordered the brown stew chicken and curry chicken and a beef patty. If me or my family get sick from this you will be hearing from a lawyer!! The rice literally smells rotten and stinks!! STAY AWAY TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH!! It’s in the trash where it belongs!!!

The worst meal ever! One chicken was stale and rotten! The other was undercooked and bad! The rice was so tasteless and sauce omg! I literally threw up… This is bad bad!

I ordered the Curry Chicken with rice and fresh coleslaw for $5. I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy the food was. This place has been here for a long time, Surprised I haven't stopped in sooner. I stopped in because I saw the sign offering curry chicken for $5. Also, the Jerk Chicken is perfect! The food was a bit different than I expected, as I'm used to Indian curry chicken. This is the Jamaican version of that, minus any spice. Also, the chicken is with the bone in. That caught me by surprise, but not a deal breaker for yummy food. It's very saucy without being messy. I will definitely stop back and order this again. If you're driving her, there's street parking only.

This place is very popular for Jamaican food. I ordered two meals, and each takeout container was loaded. Prices are very reasonable and service is great. Food is well worth trying. Curry chicken- if your into sauce, then this is the entree for you. Chicken was tender and comes with a side of coleslaw and rice/beans. I would've like a little bit more curry flavor though. Jerk- again another entree with a lot of sauce. For me I enjoy a dry rub jerk chicken. So this was my least favorite meal, but it was still ok. Beef pie- If your familiar with Hispanic food, their Pastelillo is almost similar. The difference is, the Jamaican beef pies come in a thicker crust. Plus there both flavored differently. I would've enjoyed this beef pie more, if the cheese was melted. Coleslaw- vinegar based
