Neatly tucked away in a small lane off 100ft road in Indiranagar, a good place to go for a change of cuisine is Sue’s Kitchen. The only place in Bangalore that serves Caribbean food, the ambience and décor is distinctly Rastafarian.

The owner is a cheerful lady who bustles around ensuring everyone is getting what they need. The recommended option is the buffet. Sunday lunch is the best of all the days. Multiple salads for the health conscious are arrayed in plates at the entrance of the room. The chicken salad and the egg salad are definitely the best. There are also three small bowls of chutneys which are good accompaniments for the main courses. A puffed poori like rectangle is also a good starter with the chutneys. The meats section (on the day we went) had a pork curry, which consisted of cubes of pork in light gravy. Jamaican Jerk Chicken which is a dry chicken preparation slightly sweetish but also quite spicy was also very good. The big draw during Sundays is the Lobster curry. Granted it is a lot of work to get to the meat, but if you’re adept at it, it’s all worth it.

The vegetarian section had the sweet pumpkin soup which I heard was quite savory. There was also steamed rice and a pulao made with peas.  A couple of lentil curries and two vegetable dishes (one with eggplant and the other with mixed vegetables) rounded off the vegetable corner along with sweet fried plantain (my favorite!)

There’s no alcohol served here but there are a lot of fruit juices to choose from. I always order the Cocorico which is sweetened coconut milk. It is a bit creamy though but it goes well with the spicy fare.

Dessert is usually fruits in a bowl, caramel pudding, brownie cake and banana cake (I think!). Go there with a big appetite. You’ll need it mon!
