About Us
Marla Jadoonanan was born in Princes Town, Trinidad and Tobago. She grew up being the youngest of 7 siblings and came to Nordeast Minneapolis when she was 15. Marla lost both her parents at young age, but before her father passed he made sure that his girls knew how to cook. On Sundays Joe Flat (Marla's Father) would take Marla down to the village where she would cook with the older ladies. This is where her passion for cooking began. If you ask her, she doesn't have any recipes, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Of course, her main ingredient is always lots of love!
Prior to opening a Caribbean Restaurant in 2005, Marla was a nurse at Fairview for 18 years. She resigned at age 40 and decided to pursue her life-long dream of being a restaurant owner. She says, "It's never too late to start over, and always follow your dreams."
The cuisine is based out of Trinidad and Tobago, but has a deep Indian influence. The island of Trinidad and Tobago is a huge melting pot of every culture you can think of and when the flavors combine it's like heaven.
Marla's is now a catering only company. We made the decision to close our restaurant in June of 2019. Since then Marla has filled her time with fishing, relaxation, and taking care of her fur grand babies. You can still get her cuisine through catering orders. Let us share the flavors of the Caribbean with you and your friends at your next event.
