B & M Market

This couple is amazing! They treat you like family and make sure all your needs are met. Their food is authentic and fresh, very delicious. It’s a small place in the ghetto but its cozy in the seating area with a fan to keep you cool and my car was safe in the parking lot so not to worry even if it looks eery. They have specials and even full meals for $ 5.00.

Oxtail was tender and well seasoned. Rice n peas just right with subtle hint of coconut, cabbage steamed to perfection! Stew chicken was good also. keep in mind it’s not Brown stew chicken so the flavor is a little different! The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful! Will definitely go back!

True mom and pop hole in the wall. The food is great the oxtail holds up with anybody the stew chicken though not so much. The roti’s are awesome ! Have to go back to try the fish soup and the ackee. Worth the trip with out breaking the bank !

This is a really nice Guyanese market in Little Haiti. It’s has all sorts of Caribbean items hard to find most places, with some tables where you can sit down and eat. Super casual and cozy place to have a really good meal. I’ve heard this place has been around since 1980 and run by a really nice Guyanese family. This is my first time having Guyanese food, and correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems quite similar to Jamaican, Trinidadian and other West Indian food. Even though Guyana is in South America, the food is much more similar to the Anglo-​Caribbean region, with influences from India as well (the owners are Indo-​Guyanese). The food here is all halal. I had the oxtail which was unbelievable! I really think this is one of the most delicious meals one can have in Miami. The Caribbean style oxtail was melt in your mouth tender with the right amount of fat/​gelatin that makes it so good. The homemade hot sauce (Caribbean style for sure, maybe habanero?, extremely spicy!) they have there is amazing on it! It’s served with rice and peas, and cabbage that are cooked perfectly. I had this with a homemade ginger beer, along with a homemade sorrel juice to go. They have all sorts of interesting dishes, including the cow foot soup (or «trotters», if they’re served at an expensive restaurant for 5 times the price) that Anthony Bourdain and Michelle Bernstein tried, but I wasn’t ready for that yet. Maybe next time. They also have all sorts of roti which I want to try. Everything is made from scratch, fresh, and with love.

So I’m visiting for spring break for just a week and wanted my boyfriend to try some real Trinidadian food. After a lot of searching we finally picked this place which was great! The owners are so nice and the peppa sauce is spicy! They ever got sorrel and told us to come back and order some doubles soon. Definitely recommend this place for good roti and goat!

Good, quick service, but the food was nothing special. It was ok. I had the chicken jerk roti and my husband had the goat. As I said, the chicken roti was fine, but I was expecting exotic, or at least, new flavors. The goat meat was a bit too tough for my taste. The owners were very sweet and welcoming, and they checked in on us several times. Don’t think I’ll be returning, though.

Real Caribbean flavor at a great price. The owners are more than welcoming. Can find just about any type of Caribbean food in this place, both on their menu as well as in their market. One of my wife and I’s favorite spots to eat.

I came here with my friend for my birthday weekend. I was pleased to see it was so close to my house. This place is really great the service is wonderful as well you feel like your family when your here. The roti was filled with veggies pumpkin potato curry cabbage is was so tasty I will definitely recommend this place. I also had sweet plantain they were perfectly fried and sweet also tried the mango banana nut bread. They gave it to me on the house :) even better. I love this place enjoy :)

We love B & M Market we finally made it here after passing by so many times the 2 years we have been living in Miami Beach, we were so happy we did… Thank Goodness Nafeesa the owner and Chef was there we mentioned to her we are vegetarian and she said the vegetable roti was very popular and she said we would like it! while we waited for our roti we shopped around the market amazing products from Caribbean Islands and most importantly pretty healthy and natural we bought Sorrel Juice and Plantains super natural and good! when our Veg Roti came out we were in heaven! we loved it and Nafeesa was happy! we’ll be back for the Veg plate, calaloo, rice and beans made with coconut milk real soon!

Really nice place! The roti was amazing! You gotta try this place! And it was not expensive: D Will be coming back!

Really flavorful food in a very unassuming location. My favorite was definitely the cabbage, which the owner gave us for free when we ordered it halfway through the meal. Everyone in the store was amazingly friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

BEST ROTI SPOT HANDS DOWN. INCREDIBLE PORTIONS. UNBELIEVABLE PRICES.
Attempted to replicate it at home and failed. Where are you veggie roti when i need you? Why must you be 2 hours away on public transportation!?!
Oh yea, they have other stuff as well.

Good roti skins. The dal was a bit dry but for this area I’m happy. Will try some of the takeout food in the future.

After Rob C.‘s review I looked up the piece on Check Please
it’s worth a look!
I was definitely not disappointed by this spot. Any time I travel I like to look for hidden gems and local flavor. You get all of the above at B&M Market. Had the pleasure of trying the ox tail and some patties. The meat was tender and delicious and the rice was fragrant and flavorful. The patties were also a great compliment. After my meal I perused the selection of West Indian foods and walked away with some tasty hot sauce. In regards to the neighborhood I did not feel unsafe at any time-​it was by no means a bad area. Also, parking did not pose a problem. I wish there was a place like this in the Bay Area!

Homestyle/​homemade island food, what else can I ask for?! The curry chicken and curry goat are excellent. And the Friday special jerk chicken is pretty damn special. The meals come with rice & beans, which go well with the stewed meats. I usually come on weekend afternoons after long nights of drunken debauchery… that greasy-​marinated meat is the cure for that hangover. The neighboorhood isn’t that bad nor scary, unless you’re a nerdy, rich, white guy. The husband & wife that work there are down-​to-​earth, cool folks.

There are times when hunger will give you the courage of a thousand men. The evening I went to B&M was definitely one of those nights.
As Rob C. mentioned, B&M isn’t in the sweetest of neighborhoods and that’s probably what kept me away for the past 2 ½ years. After reading great things about the restaurant in a few local papers & a rising craving that had to be satisfied, I decided to take a risk and try it out.
From the outside, B&M looks like only a convenience store. However, once you enter and walk all the way to the back, you will find a few tables and chairs flanking a full-​sized kitchen. There’s no waitress, just place your order with the friendly and talkative cook (he’ll tell you his whole life story if you let him). Once I got my food (and for the umpteenth time told the cook I had to go!), I was instructed to head back up to the front of the store to pay. Having been brave enough for one night, I took my meal to enjoy at home.
Dinners come in regular or large sizes, and feature your meat of choice, rice&peas or white rice, and steamed cabbage or salad. A regular is plenty for one person, imo. I had a hankering for Brown Stew Chicken and Steamed Cabbage. My chicken was moist and covered in a savory/​sweet brown sauce with a little spicy kick. The steamed cabbage was tender but crisp and went great with the Caribbean rice & peas.
Was it worth venturing into dangers unseen? YES! Would I go back anytime soon? For this great west indian food close to home, I’d suck it up to go back again… and again… and again.

not the nicest of areas. no parking as well.
bring your bullet proof vest. j/​k
you would never know about this place except it was on the show check please and in the paper.
it’s a tiny West Indies grocery store with a husband wife duo, wife makes daily food in the back kitchen (don’t think of it as a traditional restaurant but more like a food stand) including chicken roti, which i had for $ 5
quite nice and light, ask for the homemade spicy sauce if you like (so not as dry)
serves curry goat and the like (mixed chickpea roti – heavier than the indian kind – baked daily)
grab a juice like orange carrot when you take the roti to go.
