This is *not* the place to impress your date, or celebrate an anniversary. Consider it a lunch cafe. Plus: *The food is authentic and very good. *It's popular. Minus: *The service is mediocre and amateur (took a while to clean our table, meal arrived with only one set of cutlery - had to fetch a 2nd set myself from another... More

I had tried jerk chicken before at another restaurant in Fredericton and was very disappointed. I went to the one at the Discovery Center. Was this jerk chicken the prettiest meal I ever saw? Heck no, but it did have an authentic street food feel. I even ate some of the boiled cabbage and I hate cabbage. It was spicy... More

My boyfriend and I stopped in for lunch today. We drive by this place a lot, but never managed to check it out until today. The restaurant is a simple cafe, decorated with bright colours and Jamaican flag accents. It's located in the Hydrostone area of Halifax and there's a nice view of the park across the street. We ordered... More

A taste of the Caribbean. The Twist favourite for me is the Ox tail - so yummy. The brave can go for the Jerk Chicken all accompanied by traditional rice and peas, or cabbage. Located in the Hydrostone Market it makes for a pleasant dining experience. They certainly aim to please.

I don't even know if you can call this a restaurant....... It's like a corner store, cafe and hot table mated. Crappy tables in a run down old building. To order you go to cash register and try to get the attention of the workers who aren't interested. Then you get some decent food. The curry n roti is good.... More
