Linda Restaurant Brooklyn Reviews
Pepper pot is nice. It’s so hard to find original authentic Afro Guyanese pepper pot that taste like your mom’s food. But you have to place your order early
Their white pudding is great. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to obtain.
I always make sure to get the white pudding and the Pholourie. My two favorite things to get there
Delicious food & amazing customer service. Thin/lite black pudding & traditional Guyanese cuisine. I placed my order at 12:52PM on Saturday afternoon (ordered 2 black puddings, small cow heel soup, 3 patties & 4oz sour) & got my food around 2:00PM…. I would have waited till 3:00PM cause the food was NICE. The staff was working as hard as they could (considering Catering orders, SEVERAL online orders and WALKINS- I’d estimate at least 40-55 orders per hour) THE BLACK PUDDING WAS THE STAR & next time I’m gonna hang in the car :)
Can I just have to say you guys have the absolute best tasting black pudding I’ve tasted in a while each opportunity I get if in Brooklyn I grab these babies …or my Aunty she would bring with her to florida for me ..,,lol I also got fish cakes not pictured here because they were already eaten..Matti 2 bags,a nice cold bottle of Mauby ..,Needless to say my tummy is happy 😊 keep up the fresh delicious foods 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My favorite place to come get black pudding and white pudding literally my #1 I always choose here I don’t mind driving 30 mins from queens to come here it’s definitely worth it I haven’t tried any other food from here besides the white and black pudding will definitely always come back here to get it
I go every year for black and white pudding which is done the best I have had ..the appearance of food in the display is not inviting, probably sitting on a heating/ warming system makes the food dry I guess, I couldn’t tell what is what.. had to ask
Most times the line to place your order is a bit long and then there is another line to pickup ,but it's worth the wait.
This is a real come in, get your food, make haste and guh long yuh way set up. They wait for food is long. The beef patties keep getting smaller and smaller every time I go. Soon, you'll be eating your fingers on the third bite. Ran out of ALL fish on a Saturday at 4pm. But still selling methem? Iz a real Guyanese establishment. Too much on the menu was unavailable on a Saturday evening. The saving grace was the roti and curry goat.
I bought food last Saturday the presentation was ridiculous and standing for 1 hour paid for 4 food only to receive 3 standard taste is a 5 out of 10 for chowmein very slimy full of oil, fryrice no taste a 3 out of 10 curry 3 out of 10 food needs more flavor better presentation for the price also servers need to focus more on give the customer the items they paid for
I tried their egg ball. I think it is something different than what I am used to being jamaican. The cassava covering the egg was good but somewhat soft. I think frying them crispier would be better, and the cucumber sauce dip with it was the best part. Because the egg isn't seasoned or anything, it seems so bland it's not needed. I would buy fried cassava balls with the sauce .
Linda’s has been around a long time but they really need to work on improvements. Getting food takes a long time, sometimes the staff is rude, I think they have too much heat under the food because it looks withered after a while. The ROTI is good, the pastries are good, but the staff, process and overall wait time and attitude of the workers needs improvement. I’ve been back a few times and the service is getting better. They’ve won more chances with me. I’ll keep improving my stars as the level of service gets better.
Unfortunately, where they are too many Blacks folks, the service is ALWAYS not up to standard. My order was placed at 1 pm, and the wait time to receive your food is approximately 45 minutes. Very acceptable and I will NO longer go back there to support the business. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE
Their customer services stinks!! I ordered food here and came to pick it up, they told me I had to wait 20 minutes and telling me to drive and come back.. What the hell!! Yes I was supposed to come pick it up earlier but God forbid I got caught up, if you sold it just tell me instead of being rude! That manager whoever he is rude, disrespectful and disgusting. Yall need to do better in black people neighborhoods, I am truly disappointed and I loved ordering from this place.
The tennis rolls are not fresh and are hard like bricks. I called the store to make them aware and the employee who answered could care less of what I was saying when I told her that the tennis rolls were like rock stone.
Service suckkkkk they need people that’s actually packing and not walking around talking!!!! Waste of time every time! Already pricey but that’s fine, but the wait, why? They never even have roti whenever I go so WTH!
This store has very rude employees, every time I come my order is always ready, but when they don't give it to me, they want people to stand here and wait for a long time. I work in delivery. For me it is very important when the order takes a long time. The people here are very rude. I do not advise anyone to go here.
I work as a delivery man and unfortunately the time is always very important to me when I come to this store here You always have to wait a long time. The staff here is very unfriendly And these people are very unpleasant They have ready orders, but they don’t give them to me and don’t give them to anyone. They want people to just stand and wait for a long time. This is a completely bad place that I have ever had to come to anywhere. I advise you all to never come here. I don’t know how tasty their food is, but the staff here is disgusting and uncultured These people need to be taught basic manners
Bought bake and salt fish and bake and mackeral...when I got home...i had combine the salt fish and the mackeral to put in one Bake to make a normal sandwich, the server barely put anything much in the bake Would not buy again....you have to pay 1st then move down the other side so it is impossible to see what the servers are doing..the line run in front the food display..pay first system...staff look unwelcoming......i would avoid......
