Joyce's West Indian Grocery
Joyce's, a tiny ass West Indian grocery at Bathurst and London St. (across from Bathurst subway stn.) recently underwent a reno and started serving up cooked meals.
Last week I checked out some peppersteak on rice. Nice spicy sauce and a big helping. Thought they have a big menu posted, it's more of a rotation - not everything is a go everyday. Today I picked up a goat curry on rice and peas and a "goat soup". $9 for both.
The goat soup was more like a stew, not something I'm usually big on, but this was pretty spicy and tasty, with noodles, some potato, dumplings and a decent amount of meat.
It came with a token salad and a couple pieces of plantain (bonus!).
It's nice to a have good west indian take out so close by, it's at least as good as Albert's, the servings are bigger but it's not open as late.
At the moment there is a counter but no seating inside, and the service is still in an awkward stage - typical for a new place.
