    Traditional barbecued food with Indian spices (the food is not hot, go those that don't like hot food) One of only two/three truly halal places to eat in Barbados. Usually burgers on a Friday and Saturday nights, set menu attached. I have also attached the menu for Wednesday night. These are the only nights this pop up restaurant is open The food is really good and freshly prepared, don't let the location put you off.

    Fantastic meals at fantastic prices. Friendly and inviting Chef. The best steak I've ever had and the beef burgers absolutely melt in your mouth like happiness manifest.

    This gem was right around the corner from where we stayed. We went there on our last night. I wish I'd known about it sooner. The food was so colorful, delicious, and fresh! Go there if you can. You will be glad you did.

    Fantastic burgers, delicious fruit punch, & the steak-cut Masala chips were the best I've had for the year. Definitely going back soon

    This place is a must if you’re in Barbados. I had the rib eye steak and it was cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. After being in Barbados for over a few weeks and trying out various halal places, this was the best. The fruit punch was also the best I’ve had on the island. Currently only open on Friday and Saturday, but that might change going forward. Enjoy your trip!

    Great food cooked and served by Chef Naseem. Steak seasoned and cooked to perfection. Catch of the day- Swordfish and other fish filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly as well. Restaurant is in the back and side yard of a house. Seating is plastic table and chairs. Very clean and basic outdoor setting. Need to call or WhatsApp for reservations to check for availability. Please check timing and days of operation prior to visiting. We enjoyed the food so much that visited twice for dinner. Parking available in lot across the street from entrance.

    Absolutely delicious! The chef was cooking right there after order. Loved the Indian flavor I had fish burger, hubby got chicken. Thick patty with salad on aside served. Fresh fry was tge bomb! Definately recommend!! Entering the yard (enterance.) it was bit awkward. No host or welcoming staff. Just table. We also went when there was no customer. lol But don't let that scare you! Flavor won't disappoint you! FYI, We are from NY. So no clue about Bajan standard. The best part of traveling is finding these gems! For 2 burger & 1 drink (Virgin Pena colada) - we paid 63BBD + tip.

    Excellent atmosphere and equally excellent food. It is not the conventional restaurant so if you are in need of four walls and all that, this isn't for you. It's an open air affair with courteous staff and excellent food...did I say that already? I guess it needs to be said twice. There wasn't a large crowd when my family and I visited but that was probably due to the numerous amounts of Crop Over activities happening all over the island. However, that is what made the experience even better; no long waits to be seated and all that. I had one of the best steaks I have ever eaten there and the Mango Lassi was heavenly. I will definitely visit again and again. I will say though that parking is opposite the restaurant and I was a bit concerned what would happen if the rain fell heavily. However, I did not have to worry and everything went off without a hitch.

    A sweet Pop and Son team prepare your dishes to perfection! Their consistency and detail to every dish is great and actually one of the reasons why I return any time I have a craving for a good lamb burger. They also prepare some of the best juices I've ever had.

    Amazing lil gem with good halal food. Uncle really looked after us.

  • 5/5 Lucie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Halal delicious homemade beef burger. Me and my husband came here for our last meal before leaving the island. This was the perfect local experience. All the best to the owner and those who are also involved in the business, it was a pleasure to be there! ❀️ Definitely would come back 😊

  • 5/5 Bilal M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service from the owner. Enjoyed chatting to him after we ate. The food was cooked fresh and effort put in to make it. The burgers were handmade parties that were flavoursome. We had the lamb Rogan Josh burger and the veggie falafel burger. Both went down very well. Would recommend to all if you are looking for a halal place to eat when visiting Barbados and living in the Christ Church area.

  • 5/5 Richard R. 1 year ago on Google
    What a gem. No jerk needed, just cooked and spiced correctly. The price doesn't hit the pocket either. Nasim the host is perfect. Look for it on Maxwell Road its worth a visit for its burgers, fries and definitely the lamb ribs

    Had a fabulous lunch at Holders Market this Sunday. The burger was brilliant and the chef was super helpful and went β€œbeyond the call of duty”. So glad we ate from The Masala Grill and highly recommend others try them out.

    One of the best Takeout places on the island to chef is masterful. We really appreciated his food on our trip to Barabados.

  • 5/5 Anthony F. 2 years ago on Google
    This guy's food is not to be sullied with stuff like ketchup and mustard... It stands on its own no accompaniment required!

  • 5/5 Daniel E. 2 years ago on Google
    Just ate here with my family. This is a family run gem, operating out of the covered yard of their house. Food was outstanding, subtly spiced yet incredibly flavoursome. All meat, fish is locally sourced. Had marlin steak, beef ribeye and my 4-year old devoured his beef burger. Owners are lovely people.

    Best burger and fries I've ever had in my life! The seasoning on the fries was very unique and the burger was handmade and fresh 10/10. My only regret is I shared with my boyfriend.

😠 I ordered Cantonese sweet and sour chicken. But they didn't give me any chicken. If you look at the picture, it's full of pineapple and no chicken. When I called they told me "the chicken is cooked in the sauce" which implies there shouldn't be any chicken? I'm confused, but it is the most expensiv...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Island time runs True here. But if you have the patience and smiles for the lovely cheerful but rushing staff you’ll love the breakfast. My omelette was juicy and worth the wait. Sit at the bar, strike up convo with strangers and staff. You’re on vacation!
