Our Guestbook
“ I went to Teddy's as recommended by my aunt for their doubles and buss up shut. Immediately when I went there, I was greeted by one of the staff and they took my order. I ordered the buss up shut with curry goat, doubles and peanut punch. The peanut punch had a perfect thickness and consistency that satisfied my taste buds, and the doubles were flavorful. I enjoyed the buss up shut too and the curry goat was tender. The restaurant is take out only as there is no where to sit, so expect to dash in and out. Highly recommend the doubles and buss up shut. ”
“ My foodies, you have to get to Teddy's and get a slice of carrot cake that is all I have to say Good God Almighty ”
“ Haven't had Teddy's in a very long time. I got the spicy chicken buss-up-shut with dark meet and I didn't disappoint. It was a Wednesday midafternoon and there was only one other customer, so the service was fast. The container leaked curry almost immediately, so that was a downside. Not much to say about ambiance. ”
“ Just go.... And go on an empty stomach. Even if you don't go to empty stomach, you still might eat the whole thing because of it visions flavors. ”
“ This place was on the decline but honestly things are better! The couple running things are doing some good work. My only issue is the prices but I'm not lowering my rating because of that since DC prices/inflation lol. Ok so let's talk about the food. If you would tell me I would be raving about a salt fish roti, I would say no way. But the salt fish roti here is elite. The salt content balances out in the roti. Just test it out and let me know what you think. ”
“ A staple in the community. I love Trini food. I love their roti, goat curry, doubles, and their buss up shut. Food is always fresh and the spices are on point. When I get my carry out, I never have to add anything!! I always ask for an extra heaping side of gravy for my rice. Mmm game changer! Service is always great. My only wish is to have locations in MOCO. ”
“ Food was bussin. Portion sizes were huge. Owner and his wife were very hospitable. The vibe feels like family. ”
