Lulu's Caribbean Cuisine - Haringey

We called ahead to make a reservation and were told by a young man that it would be fine for our family of 5 to come. However, he failed to mention the strong sewage odor inside the restaurant. It was clear that there was a serious issue, so we were shocked that the establishment was still open. We quickly left, feeling nauseated, only to be greeted by an Ubereats driver picking up food. Absolutely revolting!

As a West Indian, I know how our food from the English-speaking Islands should taste. This was cooking from Trinidad at its BEST. The portions were generous and the presentation was good. I had a good Roti which came with small side dishes of Tamarind sauce, Channa, a vegetable curry. I had a Mauby to drink also. My only issue was that it needs a bit of a refurbish especially the toilet area and the water pot for washing was not necessary at all! The toilets were very clean.

I ordered three lamb rotis and had been eagerly anticipating them all day, but I was very disappointed with what I received. The quality was not the same as it used to be; there was an overwhelming amount of pepper that overpowered the flavor of the meat. Additionally, there were many pepper seeds in the dish and, to make matters worse, I found a 2-inch hair in the lamb.

I have visited this restaurant three times. The first two visits left me extremely impressed with the food. However, on the third visit with a large group of friends, the food was still good but not as exceptional. The fish escovitch was delicious and the saltfish fritters were outstanding. The curried goat, lamb shoulder, and chicken were all tasty. We all loved the pholoures and Chanda. Overall, everyone had a great time, although one person thought the jerk chicken was too spicy. I am deducting one star because the restaurant is in need of refurbishment to match the high standard of the food.

Rude customer service: person on phone was rude and defensive once confronted about delivering the wrong order. The chicken was undercooked.
