The food is amazing, however the service is quite frustrating at times. The hours are unpredictable and our last visit was quite disappointing. We walked away without food because we arrive to find out they’d run out of the items we’d order for pick up. I wish I could say that was a first…
The Swizzle Styx had lunch here yesterday and WOW! Everything was awesome, it’s a cute little place and very clean and Caribbean music playing made for a great atmosphere. Our server Michelle (Mikey) was outstanding with a great sense of humour and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried all four appetizers and they were all excellent. We had elk, goat and shrimp roti and all were great and the salad that comes with it is really delicious. We even tried the camel and it was great! It was a fabulous dining experience and can’t wait to go back.Oct 2018 – The Swizzle Styx were back here and once again the food was incredibly delicious. I think we may become regulars
We recently discovered this place and have been here twice, only somewhat familiar with Caribbean food. The first time we went the owner/manager (a woman) served us and she was fantastic. She guided us through the entire menu, explained items and made recommendations. It made for a very pleasant first visit. We tried doubles for the first time and man have we been missing out. We have no others to compare it too but they are incredible!!! We had a veggie roti and shrimp roti. Both very delicious Caribbean-style roti and Heavy Hitters portion-sized approved. The accompanying salad is a mix of veggies and seasonal tropical fruit and one of the tastiest salads we’ve ever had. We left stuffed! Our second visit lacked in service. It was cold and robotic, we didn’t have an opportunity to ask questions and we weren’t checked on after we got our food. To be fair it appeared a kitchen worker was filling in serving duties on a pinch. We got our food in a timely fashion this time a chicken roti and mixed veggie roti. They were as yummy as expected. It is a good thing our second visit was not our first as we would have been lost and scratching our heads at the menu. I would say a safe bet for anyone else in this boat is to go for the roti. It’s amazing and likely every variety is, there were about 10 different kinds on the menu. We are also interested in trying out more of the menu.
What a treat. Food was delicious and brought me back home to Jamaica. The decor is interesting, could use an upgrade. Service was excellent and our server made a big effort in explaining carefully each dish we ordered and how it’s made. I would have given it a 5 star if it wasn’t for the rum punch we ordered. I think the juice for it was powdered and therefore way too sweet. Gotta taste d rum! Will be coming back here again.
Had the chicken roti with doubles. At $3.95, the doubles are maybe a bit pricey? I haven’t had doubles in Winnipeg in years, so I’m not sure. They were delicious. The chicken roti and salad was excellent. It’s a large meal. One of my lunch companions couldn’t finish his chicken roti. The salad was superb, in fact, one of my colleagues always raved about the salad she had with a roti from a few years ago, saying it was the best salad she’s had. Mine today was so good, fruity and tasty. Overall, it was a positive experience.
Ordered shrimp roti last weekend. The shrimp were fresh and the roti was excellent as usual ! The double and roti are the best in the city.
Honestly, I think this is one of the best/most unique places in the city, and a go-to for me to bring out of towners for the simple fact that they have Bison and Elk rotis. I’ve never encountered another place that has them, and they are top notch every time. The salad plays right into my taste palate, with the fruit and romaine mix, and the rotis are perfect.It’s a quirky hole in the wall joint, so don’t expect fine dining…but that’s what makes the best restaurants in Winnipeg, in my opinion. It fits in perfect with the flavour and culture of this city. A creative twist, on a classic.
