Gabby’s Caribbean Restaurant and Takeaway

Gabby’s is not so much a restaurant but more a café. It’s rather small but we all know that size doesn’t matter (ahem), so don’t be fooled because the food here is yummy.
Having worked about a 10 minutes walk from here, I was a bit of a regular and it didn’t hurt that they offered a lunchtime special for £3.50. The stewed chicken with rice & peas is delicious.
I have never eaten in but the staff are friendly and I reckon it would be a pretty sound experience.

This little café is part of a very small chain, a chain of, maybe, three links. My family and I stopped in here for a bit to eat around lunchtime.
The first glance was favorable. Clean like the home of someone with OCD and bright. There were only three small tables and six chairs I believe. The girl at the counter was quite friendly. She chatted easily, smiled like the moon was made of cheese and that was the most excellent news since Bill and Ted and was very helpful in recommending what to eat.
We settled on goat curry with rice and beans (called peas I think) along with a fish patty and a vegetable patty. The food, though maybe not a vegetarian’s delight nor a health freak’s idea of fun, was scrumptious. The patties were flaky as an ex-​hippy who can’t give up their flower child days and perfectly spicy. The curry was flavorful. I’ve never eaten goat and even though goats eat everything, they’ve never eaten me, but I’d eat goat again even though I haven’t given goat a fair chance to chomp at my fingers. The rice had a hint of coconut which transported you across the oceans to a sunnier place with blue ocean and sandy beaches (otherwise known as Slovakia).
The meal filled us right up like a car at a petrol station and stuck to our bones like your tongue to a frozen pole when you try to lick it.
