The small size is enough for one adult. Our go-to order is the small chicken or goat curry with cabbage only and a size of coco bread. Add a ting soda if you love grapefruit.

Carver and neighboring Jackson ward were once connected as one large bustling and prosperous Black neighborhood. It was known as the Harlem of the south. The Richmond Black History museum teaches much about this and other facts integral to understanding why this city is an important key to understanding how this country has incubated and created systemic racism.
