Too Much Dinner at Caribbean Cuisine

We had a great dinner at South Orange's new Caribbean Cuisine Restaurant. It's Trinidad-Tobago style, which means, said the helpful friendly waitress (probably an owner-family member), that it has a lot of Indian influence-- curries, roti, etc. But great platanos maduros came as a side, and you choose your rice (spinach rice with a touch of dried cod; red beans and rice; peas and rice) and then pick a meat or fish to go with it. We got tastes, too-- a great thick lentil soup with interesting spices, maybe pumpkin too, a taste of yucca pone for dessert (like a wet zucchini bread, my husband said), their homemade ginger beer. Totally stuffed now.
