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.

“Had Scotty Bons jerk bowl. Food was A++ portion was great and presentation was a++. 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Keep it up guys“

“Wow is all I can say. Every bite was amazing. It’s the kind of food that when you’re full you keep eating because it tastes so good. Had the fried chicken (batter is to die for) and the mac and cheese which had a delicious heat to it. The Pen Patat which is a rum raisin cake was superb. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Delicious vegan Caribbean food in the heart of Kensington Market. Veggie D'light hits the spot for lunch on a weekend. I had their meal with jerk saitan, veggies and basmati/quinoa. I asked about the soup of the day and was promptly offered a taste by the friendly chef. Had the medium soup as well--a delicious rich soup with yams and coconut milk. Now I have a new favorite lunch spot.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love the doubles here. The coffees and other baked goods/rolls are delicious too. It’s great to see they’ve also recently expanded the original stall to a sit down spot next door with more menu items. A must try for Trini food if you’re in the area!“

“Amazing doubles! Nostalgia and homey. Dee served us and she was an absolute angel. So welcoming and kind and even gave us some free little pieces of cassava pone❤ which was delicious and so was the mango ice cream, curry chicken and pepper sauce 🌟

I have a shellfish allergy and she immediately could tell us it was all prepared in a completely separate area and that there was no problem whatsoever ! So on that front I recommend it too.“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“If you’re looking for good food and chill vibes, definitely give this place a try! The food was flavourful and delicious, with generous portions and great presentation. Our favourite was definitely the mac and cheese/macaroni pie. The tres leches, however, wasn’t the best.

The service was good overall, but they do get pretty busy, so don’t expect too much when it comes to service. I’d recommend making a reservation through OpenTable.

We came to celebrate my birthday, and my friend had secretly added a note to the reservation asking if they could bring out a cake or dessert with a candle. Unfortunately, it seems the note was overlooked, which was a little disappointing. Aside from that, we had a good experience overall.“

“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“

“Ital Vital is an absolute must! I had them cater for an event and am beyond happy with how it went! The food was so amazing! We had so many delicious options and everyone loved it. The plant-based bbq spare rib was a crowd favourite! The chef and owner, Arnold, is so kind and generous. The customer service experience was incredible. It was such a pleasure having Ital Vital cater to us and I can’t wait to call them back soon!“

“The food was excellent , I had the Chicken Vindaloo , it was excellent, I had it with the butter Naan. My wife had the tikka masala and also enjoyed it a lot. Excellent value, the service was good, we ate in and the interior was nice and clean if basic. I definitely would go back!“

“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.“

“Snoochie Boochies! Mooby’s!!!“

“First off - the food is great. Had the Curry Goat, meat is perfectly tender coming off the bone and the flavour in the curry is rich and complex. Rice & peas are fluffy and seasoned well. The staff is incredibly friendly and took measures to accommodate my wife's allergy incredibly well. Coleslaw is just how I like it too.

I'll be eating here again“

“The food was amazing! Highly recommend!“

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

“Best jerk chicken there is! It was the first place I ever tried jerk chicken, about 20 years ago, and I haven't found any better. I have tried many places and they are the best by far, and the food makes you feel great! Make sure you get the card and register, so you know when they get deals, and you'll get a bday present from them!“

“Food is great, portion sizes are huge and prices are very reasonable, my go to for Chinese in Scarborough!!!“

“Absolutely delicious Jamaican jerk chicken! The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a great smoky kick. The portions were generous, making it an excellent value for the price. Everything tasted fresh, and the sides paired really well with the chicken. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place!“

“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!“

“Best beef patties in town and I’m always charmed by the woman who runs the shop. She is a sweetheart and makes me feel so welcome! The patties are a good size (not too big, not too small) and they’re not too spicy. (Ps I once tried the veggie patties and the beef are better.)“

“The (spicy) chana roti was delicious, it wasn’t very spicy. The girl behind the counter taking orders was courteous and friendly. It was not busy when I was there so I didn’t wait long for the food since the roti fillings were already cooked and just needed to be wrapped in the roti flatbread. Customers order and pay for food at the counter for either takeout or eat in the restaurant.“

“rumcakes are soooo good..“

“If your concept of a lunch wrap involves walking into a bright, Scandinavian-designed downtown cafe to pay $22 for a cold, machine-pressed wheat tortilla filled with dry chicken breast, organic micro-greens & a drizzle of low-fat Greek yogurt, your daily calorie-to-capital allocation is deeply compromised. You are purchasing a lifestyle aesthetic. You are eating a dry, structurally uninspired starch tube.“

“Love the vibe. Able to grab some groceries and food . Everything came out hot straight from the kitchen. Full menu was available! Kid friendly if you’re worried about spice. I got the cow foot, curry chicken, jerk chicken and chicken/ beef soup. Affordable pricing.“

“Delicious food amazing staff.“

“Amazing food! Amazing servers! Definitely one of the best! Ill surely keep on coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Incredible flavour and freshness!“

“This past weekend we hosted a 45 person, 5 generations Jamaican family get together!! We decide to have it catered by Islanderz, and wanted to mark this very special occasion with delicious food as a hallmark of the festivities!! (several aunts and uncles, 90+ years young, in attendance have over the years, served us divine home made meals “from home” - they know great food!) … Nicole was very helpful in the planning for our quantities and variety, and we felt the cost was reasonable and competitive. Our order included red peas soup as our appetizer, and jerk chicken, oxtail and (boneless) curry goat as the main meats. We also ordered rice and peas. Our order was ready at the expected time, and the packaging and labelling very helpful in our at home preparations. Thank you Dwight!! Just opening the containers was exciting due to the aromas - the food was RIDICULOUS!!! Everyone, and I do mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON, raved about the food!!! every bite of each dish was crazy, ridiculously FABULOUS!!! We could not believe how delicious and special everything tasted - perfectly seasoned and cooked, tender meats, fresh spices … clearly everything was prepared with care!!
We thank you so very much for making the food aspect of our family party so perfect!! AND, so memorable!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Islanderz!! We appreciated your care in our order, and will definitely look forward to future catering from you!!“

“I've eaten here a couple of times and I must say that the food is really delicious. The portions are huge so bring your appetite or enjoy the leftovers the next day. This place does get very busy so do bring your patience, you won't regret it!“

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

“Delicious Ethiopian Vegan Food!

Ordered the Injera Thali Plate and it was packed with so much flavour :) each dish had its own unique taste and they complimented each other well. I really liked the potato dish (super savory) and lentil dish (perfect amount of heat)

Their Samosas are Top Shelf, and The lady who served me was very pleasant and happy! Can’t wait to come back to try more of their offerings.“

“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“
