About MARLA'S CARIBBEAN CUISINE

What makes this place pop out in our list of diners to visit, is the fact that the Chef was actually born and raised in Trinidad! This way, you are sure to get as close to the Caribbean cuisine outside of visiting the island itself. Be sure to flavor the Oxtail with Red Beans as well as Dhalpourie if you're a hungry vegan. A popular family-run spot located in the heart of Minneapolis that will prepare everything from scratch as you order. Nothing really beats the freshness of this restaurant which once again confirms why ma and pa spots always outweigh the big brand chains. This Caribbean Restaurant was opened up in the year 2005 by Marla Jadoonanan whom at the age of 40 decided to follow her life-long dream of running her own native restaurant. Nothing fancy here, instead just amazing service, great prices and truly delicious meals. It has a rustic cool vibe which is welcoming and completes the dining experience here. Tons of Caribbean options to choose from here and some favorite menu items include their Oxtail with Beans and Rice, Vegan Jerk Vegetables, Beef Curry and the one and only Trini Specialty, the Buss-Up-Shut. Also, you'll love the man heat options here and we can attest that if you like is spicy, all you have to do is ask. Seriously folks, come check out this amazing hot spot today.
