Emily’s Palace Caribbean Restaurant

Red hair lady SCAMMED ME on Christmas eve! I walked in and ordered two large bone-in jerk chicken dinners with two grace pops that cost 40 dollars. When I got home my wife sarcastically asked "Where the rest of the food at" meaning it wasn't worth the price. Thinking back, red hair Lady was being mad suspicious at the cashier. So I googled the prices and wifey was right. Can't let your guard down on any given day.
As for the short red tipped hair lady with bucked teet, WHAT YOU GIVE YOU GET BACK IN FULL CIRCLE. DONT CRY WHEN ITS YOUR TURN. I hope that extra five dollars you scammed me for was worth it.

Best Caribbean food in Toronto! The only reason I gave the atmosphere 3 stars is it's not a restaurant you go to for the decor. You order your food, you sit and you love what you're eating. The macaroni salad is the best. The oxtail gravy is unreal, and the jerk pork is the best I've ever had.

I showed up yesterday as soon as it opened at 10:00am. And got what I always loved instead of the usual. Everybody to me this is the best jerk chicken spot!

I have been eating here since 2018. During Covid WFH, I had their lunch special every single day. Their Jerk chicken is the best I have ever had - just the right away of spicy and smoky, and meat falls off the bones with juices. Words cannot describe how good it is. Their prices on par with all other jerk chicken / Caribbean food places, but they taste the best.

The food was excellent. It would be nice if the people working there would at least communicate with the patrons and crack a smile every once in awhile.

The food and prices are the best in Vaughan. The macaroni salad is probably the best in the city. The lunch special is great.

Lunch Special: Rice/peas, oxtail gravy + Jerk Chicken + macaroni salad for $9.99 M-F until 2pm is an amazing deal! Try it! (The service staff can be a a bit short but they are lovely people and will help you)

I had eaten here once in the past, several years back (I think right after they opened), and wasn't blown away by it- preferred my go-to, Nina's Tropical-, but was recently craving a roti and was right around the corner, so decided to give it a go. The jerk chicken roti was actually very good, it hit the spot well in that moment along with their awesome macaroni salad, and the spot was kept tidy. The only reason for my three stars is that I felt extremely ill for the following 24 hours after eating here- I can't say definitively whether it was a result of what I'd eaten here, as nothing tasted "off" in the moment, besides the chicken being a bit dry, but I also hadn't eaten anything else that day. I will try it again soon and report back if I observe any changes- hopefully will feel better on next visit. And it's not due to some lack of experience or stomach not being accustomed to Caribbean food- I eat plenty of it, of varying spice levels, all the stews, etc. Hoping it was just an isolated incident.

I still think about the bbq fried chicken I ordered from here 2 years ago. I don't know why I haven't gone here a second time. It was actually incredibly good.

Do you like rice? This is the place for you. If you want to spend $20 on a large goat or oxtail meal and leave hungry, this is the place for you. Meals so large they serve them in medium containers. Rip Off

The pasta salad just wow!
