I ordered the oxtails with rice and the chicken fried rice. It was really good and came out super fast. I will definitely order from this place again.
Came here for food and drinks on a Friday night. Drinks were good. Not too sweet., not too strong. Went with jerk chicken, plantains, an egg rolls and soup. Food was decent. Prob won't go back, but it was good at the moment.
Came here with a friend after school for some drinks and food.
Upon entering, the decor was very nice. Dimly lit with lots of colorful lights everywhere. The bartender was our waitress because it was very dead in there. She was nice . We were the only seated customers. Everyone else was at the bar drinking their sorrows away.
I ordered a shot of tequila . Idk what kind of tequila it was , but it was strong. I ordered some stew chicken and rice and peas. My friend had the oxtail. The chicken and oxtail were horrible. Not what we were expecting at all. My friend and I are Jamaican , so I guess we were used to it being cooked a certain way.
Im going to take a guess and say the cook was Trinidadian , because they were playing a lot of Soca music.
The rice and peas was amazing ! That was the only good thing about the meal. Will not be returning.
Perhaps my favorite thing about returning visits to NY is getting access to delicious West Indian food. And, Windies is the perfect solution to cure my withdrawal symptoms from Guyanese cuisine.
Windies may look like ordinary on the outside, but the food is anything but. The menu is standard for West Indian, but among my favorites are jerk chicken fried rice (good amount of spice, large portions enough for two people), calamari (comes out with bell peppers that add flavor), black pudding (a Guyanese staple), and fried shark (yes, shark!). And, for the true West Indians, there's plenty of "peppa" sauce on the table to make you feel at home.
If you're not in the mood for food, Windies is also a great place to grab a drink. There's a full service bar that even serves West Indian rums. And, you'll be able to catch up on all your cricket highlights from one of the multiple TVs. This place does it right, and is worth the visit. Be sure to chum it up with the owner, he's a really fun guy that enjoys getting to know his patrons.
I can't stand this place. It's in my neighborhood and I'm West Indian so I gave it a try. The food is boring. They need to learn big peppers and onions do not equal big flavors. Instead of getting more noodles or rice I feel like I'm just getting large pieces of bell peppers. You're better off not going here for West Indian good it'll detour your entire experience and make you never want to try any Guyanese good ever. Plus they're expensive, for such a little amount. Their rice is always hard and you can't ever heat it back up it dries out so quickly.
There's nothing but drunks in there. You feel uncomfortable walking in there. In addition the must is super loud. Like it's 2pm in a Wednesday, why is the music blasting? There's also men who stand outside just to check girls out, another reason to feel uncomfortable. And these men are old. The workers there stand outside with them and don't even tell them anything.
Just never go here.
Always a long wait, food isn't that great and the price isn't worth it a lot of people go there for the bar I wouldn't go for the food.
