Caribbean Flavors building Fire! [Food/Vendor]

2007 Mar 7
The fire took place early this morning. No report yet on the amount of damage but by the looks of those photos I'd say the restaurant will be closed for a while.

That's awful. I've only been once, but it was great. My wife and I were talking just last week about going back.

According to a contact at The Wine Exchange across the street, the entire building has already been torn down.

Aw man, that's a drag. I'm glad no one was injured, and I hope he can reopen soon. The food there was fantastic.

Terrible news...I hope the owner gets things up and running again soon.

My one and only time at Carribean Flavours was a huge disappointment.....mainly because I didn't get any food!

I wandered in at 1:00 pm or so on a weekday and found the restaurant completely empty. After looking around at everything, reading ALL the articles on the wall, and calling "Hello...anyone here?" for about 10 minutes I decided that whoever was working wasn't coming back from the storage room or wherever they were in any hurry. So I left, hungry, disappointed and intending to come back another time. That was 3 years ago so I must be a terrible procrastinator!

This news made me so sad this morning. Though I think the owner took particular pride it burning the tastebuds off of customers that asked for mild roti, the food was still delicious.

This past weekend we decided to make roti instead of going to the restaurant. I'm hugely disappointed we didn't go. I sincerely hope they'll be back.

The link works!

That's fantastic! Are you going? I wish I could but I have other plans...maybe I can convince my friend to drop by there. I'll be sad to miss it.

That is sooo cool of Roasted Cherry to offer their facilities - gives me a warm shiver.

Great News - thanks for posting it!

Edit Next day: did anyone go?

I do hope he reopens. I was supposed to go with friends the week before, but we changed our minds at the last minute. I'd love to try his food after all the great things I've heard here.

This is fabulous news!

Awesome! I cloned FiH's announcement to the Carribean Flavours page and marked it as back in business. I also added their website, which I didn't have before. Caribbean Flavours
