Brandon was incredibly efficient and helpful throughout the planning process, making the organization seamless. On the day of the event, everything ran smoothly, thanks to the attentive staff. The food was outstanding—everyone raved about it! The service was exceptional, with the team going above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met. I will definitely return to Avenue for future meals and events. Highly recommend!“

“Had wedding anniversary dinner. Wait staff and bartender were fantastic- friendly, kind and the right amount of attention. Good food. Wonderful atmosphere.“

“Amazing! My first time here. I loved the elevated Jamaican dishes because it still had that home taste but the preparation and presentation was on a next level. I love that there is a high end caribbean Jamaican place for everybody but also a safe place for we to 5 star dine without being treated badly or stared at( which happens in fancy places if you caribbean) i don't usually like fish but tried my friends snapper. The nuff nuff coleslaw was my fave and the likkle patties“

“Ordered a hazelnut oat matcha which is apparently off the menu now and it's the best matcha I've had in downtown so far. I've ordered from so many places, even the popular ones with long waiting lines, but this hidden gem deserves so much more recognition!“

“Rhum Corner NEVER misses!!! I came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary, and as always, everything was perfect. We ordered the oxtail with rice and beans and the fried chicken with macaroni. Honestly, I can’t come to Rhum Corner without ordering the oxtail. It’s always so tender and so flavorful. I swear I could eat it every single day and never get tired of it. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the macaroni is just perfect.

And I have to mention the pikliz, I swear they need to start selling it on its own because I could eat it by the jar by itself. The perfect mix of heat, crunch, and tang I just love it so much lol

I also ordered the Painkiller, which was soo good. Sweet, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink.

The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the service … everything about this place is just incredible. You can taste the care and love that goes into everything they make. Rhum Corner is one of those restaurants that just gets it right every single time and that’s why I’ll keep coming back 😌“

“I had only tried goat roti. It was super delicious. Great.“

“I went here for the first time for takeout. It was a bit out of the way to get here but, I'm glad I went. I only have 3 for atmosphere because there's no seating - takout only. Which is fine - the restaurant itself is pleasant and clean. The person who served me was really polite, pleasant and chill - how refreshing! Thank you!

The food great. I had doubles with all the toppings and they were really tasty - these were definitely worth the trip.

I also had a goat roti and a chicken roti. Both were excellent and I'll definitely have these again but after I sample more of their menu items. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.“

“So I’ve been trying to come up with the right words to explain the impeccable experience my husband and I had at this restaurant, words can’t do it justice. First impression as we walked in the door was how much it reminded me of back home islands vibes. The owner was present, attentive and overflowing with Caribbean hospitality. The Trini fusion dishes we tried were fantastic. This was such a treat and we loved every second of it. We left there needing to tell the world about the gem we had found. Thank you! Will be back with a few more people.“

“We were visiting from France and had researched restaurants before our arrival.
OMG Chubbys did not disappoint, the food is outstanding, the service warm and friendly and atmosphere was buzzing but chilled.
The chicken curry is top notch and the ginger beer packs a massive punch.“

“I love Jamaican food and believe me Scotty is one of my favourite. This Jamaican restaurant is a total gem. From the moment you walk in, the smell of spices hits you in the best way, and the vibe feels welcoming and laid-back. The jerk chicken is the star of the show—perfectly smoky, tender, and packed with bold flavor without being overpowering. The curry goat is rich and comforting, and the rice and peas are cooked just right. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you can tell the food is made with care and authenticity. On top of that, the staff are friendly and make you feel right at home. If you’re craving real Jamaican food that tastes like it was made from the heart, this spot is 100% worth a visit.“

“Tried Pattylicious for the first time today, WOW, it was incredible. Everything is made in-house and tasted delicious. We will be back 100%!“

“Doubles were solid for the most part but had a slightly weird taste that I havent experienced in doubles at other restaurants. I wish the tamarind sauce and cucumber chutney was spread more evenly across the channa. It was a little messy.

Chicken curry with rice and peas was solid. Chicken was tender.“

“Ali's Roti is delicious well seasoned, not salty. I can taste the love in every bite. The only reason I have mixed reviews was because I ordered delivery and portion sizes. Knowing they wouldn't fill me up with shrimp for my shrimp dhal puri roti I bought a bag of shrimp last night and when the uber was close I threw them on the stove top and mixed the order in without the added shrimp I wouldn't have been disappointed with my three whole shrimp cut into pieces. That being said the shrimp were perfectly cooked from Ali's well seasoned and mixed up really nice with my added shrimp, the flavor of Ali's is incomparable with another roti shop downtown. I found my place from now on but the food was delivered cold. Probably not the restaurants fault. Secondly I ordered a lamb roti with sauce on the side, I did have to heat up on my stove top and was wanting my sauce on the side that never got packed up, also was missing my second pepper sauce that I ordered. But the lamb was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and the dhal puri roti was perfect. Minor issues but enough to make me rate it 4 out of 5.“

“If you’re looking for Jamaican food cooked in a healthy way, head on over to @jerkupcentral ! I ordered the large jerk pork dinner. I enjoyed the steamed vegetables (different from the typical coleslaw), rice and peas and the tasty, lean jerk pork. I washed it down with my favourite @dandgjamaica pineapple soft drink! I rate it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars because I needed a bit more “jerk”. Give me the 🔥, I can take it lol. 🇯🇲 #jerkpork #jamaicanfood“

“The BEST Roti around. My go to when I have a craving for delicious food for the past 15 years!“

“Another hole in the wall hidden gem that makes Torontos low key food scene so great. The food is made with love and is actually a unique take on Jamaican food but in a good way. It stands out from other places that can be a little cookie cutter if you know what I mean. The patties are also on another level. Not sure we’re they’re getting them but they are amazing. Great spot!“

“Update: oct 15th menu pricing update.

Delicious food. Grabbed the stew chicken with steamed veggies and rice and peas lunch special. Service was great and quick. Walked to a near by park to eat as the 2 tables inside were occupied. Will be back again“

“Had jerk chicken. partner oxtail. both were just perfect. chicken soft and not dry, rice perfectly cooked. the oxtail seemed to melt in our mouths. I'll definitely be trying more. 100% recommend and to the beautiful soul who made her recommendations and was so lovely my thanks. square one location around noon on Thursday july 11.“

“Delicious food amazing staff.“

“Went there for weekday lunch. Had jerk chicken breast with 2 sides (coleslaw & veggies) and spicy mayonnaise + hot sauce. It was perfect, spicy enough while not overpowering the dish. 'oxed veggies are a bit tasteless'but ok when eaten with the rest.“

“I haven’t been to Island Foods in years and I was not disappointed.

Exceptionally friendly staff and the best chicken roti, cooked to perfection. My kids devoured them in a few minutes. The roti itself has that perfect buss up shot flakey texture. The chicken breast was moist, potatoes were tender all smothered in that heavenly gravy.

Also picked up some doubles and a slice of rum cake, so I’ll gladly spend a few extra hours at the gym.

Island Foods is comfort food done right. Please consider starting a food truck!“

“Nicey's is one of my go-to spots for Caribbean food. Extensive menu, tasty food and great customer service. They have a rewards program. Plenty of tables to sit at and eat inside but they also have an outdoor patio with a BBQ and bar/drink service for the spring/summer seasons, and DJs playing the best in Reggae music. They also host customer appreciation parties with bouncy castles and activities for children. I usually get take out but this summer I do intend on utilizing the outdoor patio.“

“went for the first time last week and were helped by the owner. He was very friendly and gave us some recommendations on teas and even shared some food knowledge with us. We got the lamb curry, fish fritter, plantains, and were even sent home with some celebration bread the owner wanted us to try. Thank you! Looking forward to visiting again!“

“I have been coming to The Roti Lady for over a decade, though years ago she was on Queen St W. Best roti in Toronto that I have found and reminds me of the rotis I ate in Trinidad. Just amazing!“

“The food was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Incredible flavour and freshness!“

“Today, with the beautiful weather, I had a real craving for Jerk Chicken. I checked out Good Vibes and ordered a Jerk Chicken dinner. As I’m writing this, I am savouring the sweet and spicy Jerk sauce that perfectly coats the chicken. The meat is fresh and tender. The rice and beans is just yummy and the coleslaw is a nice cool down. Service was super friendly and love the artwork on the walls. Great music! I’m so glad that I walked into Good Vibes today! Delicious food! Good Vibes all the way. I will definitely be back!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Grabbed the Oxtail Papi Platter and the Triple OG Stuffed Patty. Absolutely insane. Clear your schedule after this one because the itis is real. Way beyond my expectations. Hands down the BEST food I’ve had in the GTA in all 22 years of life.“

“Fabulous jerk chicken and oxtail. Thank you for a wonderful, fresh and savoury experience. We'll be back soon!“

“The food here was amazing! I went with my mom and although we did have to wait 30 mins past our reservation time, the food definitely made up for it! We ended up ordering 4 appetizers and one salad and everything was absolutely delicious. It was seasoned perfectly, held some heat to it and definitely lived up to the hype. Will definitely be back to try everything else.“

“I MUST say nuff nuff big up to the entire Caribbean Queen jerk family for the entire family dinner that they gave out today. Quality meals handed out to anyone who came through the door. Very well Done.“

“It is true when Charles Swindoll said, "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"... Yes, it's the fact, and I am saying this because of what Mr Hans of triumphantfoundation.com has done for me by giving me a huge loan which I least expected to be true. Indeed, T.F is great and that's the reason why I am recommending them to those that need financial assistance. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Mr Hans and the entire T.F has really blessed me and made me feel good and if anyone is seeking for assistance, I will solidly advise them to contact T.F for their loans because they are reliable and true to the core. "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples". this was the exact words from Mother Teresa, so I have done my part and God bless you all. triumphantfoundation.com“

“Great place to eat and friendly staff.👍🏿 must try“

“my first visit. it definitely won't be my last.“

“I consistently get the rice/peas and jerk chicken… always very good… consistently so. Good portions. Clean. The curry goat needs some more flavour. The texture is good, but more attention needs to be paid to the flavour. More can be done with it.“

“I finally was able to attend UMI's Kitchen after so many attempts by UBER and DoorDash as it always says unavailable. I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. I thought it was located more east on Dundas but it's actually near Dundas and Sherbourne. Toronto has tried to revive the neighborhood but, it has the same energy. I was lucky as parking is street parking so expect to park and run in to get your order. It looked closed when I got out and the door is not new but, I got in. It isn't a big place but the lady who got my order was pleasant. I ordered a small Oxtail (not cheap no more), side bbq chicken, 1 veggie and 1 beef patty, small chicken soup (good), Pineapple soda. I thought the salad would be handled but no salad like no coleslaw! I was like wow. The food is good. I really enjoyed the veggie patty wish I had gotten three of them. The bbq chicken was nice. Not hot but, it was a great add to my Oxtail meal. I was glad I finally could say I gave this place a try. I am sure others will attend. The area isn't the most desired place to attend but, it's about the food which for this day was my goal.“

“The best Roti in the GTA.“

“The Jerk pork cutters are horrible workers with horrible attitudes. Especially the chunky fellow with the tight track pants. He grunts instead of speaking and LOADS the box up with bristle and bone and skin. He gets confrontation when you call him out. The old man is even worse. The chicken cutters on the other hand are pleasant and always load you up with extra. Is the pork cutting position at hot pot a family punishment? Because none of them are happly doing it. I'll be back and I'm going to cause a even louder bigger scene ON JAH“

“the best caribean place in Makam🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝🍝“

“Best roti in Toronto no discussion, friendly staff, made fresh and proper 👌“

“one of the best patties in Toronto! highly recommend. they need to open one up on the West end of Toronto“

“well oiled machine. tablet orders for everyone waiting in line. after all of these years of getting my roti and doubles at 2680 lawrence avenue east, Mona's is a welcome addition to my nyammery. see you soon!“

“just stopped in for a quick meal and wow! the service and food were absolutely amazing!!! BEST NACHOS I HAVE EVER TASTED!!!!“

“Had the beef patty and I felt like I was in Jamaica.
After taking the first bite, I noticed the beef that was used for the patty was also Jamaican. The cow was nice and thick instead of moo it said Wah Gwaan. This is how authentic this place is getting the cows and goats straight from Jamaica.“

“Excelente lugar, buena comida, buena atención. Súper recomendado 💯“
