New entry: Cariba Bites


Yesterday I made a new page, and as I don't have a plan to do it any more pages today, I post about it here now.




Cariba Bites

I don't know if you recognised it, but it is in Indoor Market. This is more like a takeaway than restaurant, although they do have some seats available. As I have never eaten Caribbean food before and was so excited, I decided to make it an entry.


Today is the day of Birmingham Half-Marathon. Some colleagues of mine are going to participate and I am planning to see them on the street, as they are passing near my flat. Good for them!

Have a good Sunday everyone and don't forget to change the clock [saying to myself as well]!

Caribbean in Indoor Market

[post scriptum: I visited this place later on. Please read here].

Recently I have been having an impression that the Caribbean food stall in the Indoor Market has increased the prices and increased the number of customers as well.

But until this weekend I have not noticed that the shop has changed!



If I remember well, it used to be Noel's Caribbean, and not it is Caribe Bite.



The price is about £5.50-£6.00 for main dish (including rice and veggie), so it is still pretty low price.

Now that it is gone, I am sorry that I did not have try Noel's.

More new restaurants in Chinatown area

I am in Easter break from today until Thursday next week. Wow.

As yesterday was like a Friday to me, I decided to go to the Lebanese restaurant Beirut where I have been wanting to go (I reviewed it here), but for one reason or the other, it was put off until yesterday. I will write a review very soon.

Before going to Beirut, I walked around the area between Holloway Circus to Chinatown, and found some new restaurants. I am not sure when I will have a chance to visit them, but here I make a memo about them.

First, the Shisha cafe in the Smallbrook Queensway is not Indian restaurant, "Royal Bengal".



The menu is like the one of usual curry houses; nothing new.


Then, next to Chung Ying Garden (Thorp St.), now there is a large Caribbean buffet restaurant called Cuizene.



When we walked in front at around 9:00 there wasn't anyone eating. It is a bit worrying considering it was practically a "Friday night". We grabbed a flyer, which says, all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for £5.99 and dinner buffet for £11.99 (limited choice during the lunch hours). Not being a big eater, I am not keen of buffet (I feel like losing money!), but I might go to see what's on offer.

Lastly there is a Polish restaurant in Hurst street.



The menu looks rather limited, but I might give it a go very soon.

I posted the addresses and phone numbers of Cuizene and Duet on WonderBirmingham (click here).
