Famous Recipe

They make the best roti in Hamilton. I love this place. The owners are great too!!

Had a delicious lunch at work yesterday, My Boss and I both had boneless chicken curry in a roti skin with an extra roti skin to dip, it was warm, fresh and massive. For the price you pay the portions are great, and you can tell they put love into the food(even on uber eats orders, which is rare). The hot sauce was more hot than flavourful, but all around it was a great lunch

The food was amazing. the portion is big for what you pay for. The owner was extremely nice . I'm from Toronto and was in Hamilton for work. I was craving for Caribbean food around and went to one that was near my hotel. The food was so terrible that it scared me to never eat Caribbean food while im in Hamilton. The next day my co-workers asked me to go with them for food, we ended up at Famous Recipe and after their order, i was tempted to also order something small. I explained to the owner about my experience with the other place from the night before. He secured me that his food would be different and indeed it was. If you are in town and feeling for Caribbean food, visit this place. i highly recommend it. The salad was fresh, and my curry goat was to die for. i will be visiting this place again next week and the following week.

original review date: march 1, 2018; edit add-on november 10, 2021 picture add-on: july 9, 2021. november 10, 2021 march 1, 2018: i've been going to famous recipe (FR) since 2009-10. i really appreciate the passion owners kevin and his wife christine have for providing a quality product. they have been treating me good. when you're in the mood for west indian food, best thing is to give then a call first. as a heads-up, when you are getting later into their hours of business, they may be running low on items. that's because the food preparation (esp curry, roti and doubles) is time and labour intensive. this is not mcdonald's. FR has a personal commitment in that they will only serve same-day, not leftover food as their pledge of quality to the customer, and that is something that should be respected. one star knocked off for their sometimes inconsistent and unposted hours. if you're unsure, phone in to confirm the store is open, that's what i always do. november 10, 2021: updated review add-on -FR continues to show why imo they are the heavyweight champions (along with caribbean-canadian restaurant on the mountain) of the city of hamilton, when it comes to price relative to value, quality and portion size, and menu options for the caribbean food segment. -my favorite (and recommended) items are the chicken/beef curry rotis, jerk chicken with rice, doubles, and the patties are fantastic also. 🔥 the way FR makes their food, it feels like they are cooking directly in your kitchen. you can also pick curry chicken or beef with rice and not go wrong either. 💯 -nicholas (son of kevin/christine) is doing a fantastic job helping in the store. he is warm, welcoming and on point with the customers. 💙 -drawback of the FR is very limited parking as the store is located on a very busy street. bottom line: i will continue to support FR and would recommend it to others. they are honest, hard working passionate people. great food, portions, quality. keep up the great work! 💯
