Chef Falak Farah is the manager and chef of BROS BBQ 2, one of Long Branch’s newest restaurant that prides itself on its Florida Style and Caribbean cuisine.
Farah highly recommends her jerk chicken on rose pasta as one of their top dishes that people seem to love.
Foodies are catching on to their curry and stew chicken, oxtail, ackee and salt fish, fried and steam fish.
She says her small pickup and takeout restaurant at 3371 Lake Shore Blvd. W., is well-known for its ‘exclusive’ home-made Hennessey smoked BBQ sauce. There is also a Smokey southern hot BBQ sauce with a hint of habanero and a medium with a hint of southern spices.
“People lover our Henny sauce that we make ourselves,” says Farah. “We are the Lake Shore’s first Southern BBQ place featuring Hennessey sauce.”
She only uses fresh ingredients and all meals are made to order.
“Everything is cooked to order and people love the way we cook our salmon and shrimp,” Farah insists. “They also love our jerk chicken for all the love that goes into it.”
It has been a natural journey for Farah to learn Caribbean cooking. She was born in Jordan and found the joy of Caribbean cooking after marrying a Jamaican husband in Canada. She has cooked in a number of places before PRO BBQ, which opened a few months ago.
“We go to Jamaica every year and I learn more things,” Farah says. “People like the food because more of them are coming back.”
She is among the businesses allowed to remain open these days because there’s no dining in.
“I have many Jamaican friends and love the food,” Farah vows. “You have to try our jerk chicken poutine. You will come back.”
Also highly recommended is the rose pasta, with salmon or shrimp, which is extra: jerk or lemon pepper salmon with rice and peas. Or you can order a large rack of Texas beef ribs for $27.
BROS BBQ 2 is located at 3371 Lake Shore Blvd. W., near Twenty Sixth Street. You can place your order by calling 416-252-2270. Free delivery for orders of more than $30.
