Went today with my wife. I had the oxtail and she had the chicken curry each with the potatoes and roti. It was great, just like I remember them tasting when I lived in Trinidad. I will return.

I'm not a Caribbean connoisseur, but I do know what good food tastes like, and this place has excellent food that just flat out makes you feel good on the inside.
Eating in might not be for everyone, but regardless of whether you plan to eat there or elsewhere your food is served up in a to go container. The reason I say this is the music is loud and high energy, and the TV (at least when I was there) isn't tuned into anything that one could casually watch. I personally enjoyed the music and the general vibe of the spot, but I could see why others wouldn't.
One thing that IS for everybody here, is the food. I had shrimp curry, and told them to do it their version of spicy. I will admit, it was almost too much for me, but it was more spicy flavorful than just spicy hot. I ordered a plain roti to eat it with, and while that turned out to be an expensive addition to my meal, it was some of the best bread I have had in a long time. I was making small wraps of that with some of my curry over and over. One day I will come for lunch and enjoy one of their rolled rotis, which are basically just a Caribbean burrito. -

Ate a sampling of their menu options during an Ethnosh Noshup - loved the curry chicken and pepper shrimp (cooked mild). Next time, I would get the pepper shrimp spicier and the curry chicken again. I also want to try other Roti (with meat). The Roti with curried potato was just okay. Heads-up: there are bones in the meat.
Delicious food overall. Calypso Mama has been in GSO for 3 years! Go eat here. You will not be disappointed. -

I fell in love with the food in Port of Spain so I was thrilled to find this place. My wife and I stopped in for dinner. We had the Chicken Roti. It was really authentic and very good. The service was fantastic too. My favorite is Doubles but they only do them by special order. I'll have to plan for that next time I'm in Greensboro. I'll definitely be back.

I went to Calypso for the first time today and if I must say so myself, it is by far the best Caribbean food I have had in Greensboro or anywhere around it!!!! They have great customer service as well, I'll definitely be coming back here!!
