33 Best Caribbean Restaurants in North York

“Was there today with my trini friend and we got doubles, veggie dhal puri, aloo pie and curry potato and channa and dhal puri. It was so good. The lady made us feel like we were back home and the food is amazing. I'll be coming back for sure. It's the Guyanese and trini ladies with the little girl that kept dropping her wallet. Lol. Thank you for the wonderful service and great food.“

“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!“

“May 25, 2025

I went at 10 pm and didn’t leave until 1 am. The dj and vibes were 100/10. The music was from reggae, afrobeats to dancehall. It was a good variety of everything. Any and everything no one couldn’t dance too. As a Indo West Indian, very much enjoyed my time. I had read the reviews prior to attending and I had read there was an entrance fee as a “regular club”; I very much appreciate to know this that I was safe; with security at the entrance. I am very much surprised there is not much marketing being done as I found this place by word of mouth.The prices as very much lower than the major restaurants/ bars when it came to alcohol. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was friendly. Overall great experience would recommend this place on a Saturday night and look forward to visiting in the future. Highly recommended to any and everyone who is trying to stay local and cost efficient.“

“Came here at 21:30 on Wednesday March 4 2026. The ladies here were so kind and patient with me as I asked questions about their vegetarian options and the differences between the flatbread offerings. This menu has such amazing variety and flavour profiles that I imagine even the pickiest eaters can find something they like (such as myself!). I was worried that the items I wanted to try would use too much garlic and onion As I write this review it’s 1:16 am and I don’t have any nausea so I think I’m in the clear. I ordered the paratha and Chana masala (the more tomato version) and a samosa with the tangy sauce. The total came to 26.88. I decided to eat part of the order there as it was already so late and I hadn’t eaten since 12 and having just finished work was hungry. The food was steaming hot which was amazing as I was cold on such a Canadian winter day. They were kind to not make me feel rushed at all considering the time. The environment in the restaurant was clean and calm and I know I was getting a good quality “home cooked meal”. There was great pride in her establishments menu and she explained how each item is made and prepared and how they differ. I enjoyed talking about the history of Trinidad and how Aroma has a mixture of Trinidadian , Jamaican, south and East Asian foods.
I will definitely be back. Thank you for nourishing me.“

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

“The food was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“I tried this place for the 1st time, good friendly service.
Got crispy chicken wings and chicken fried rice.
The fried rice was decent and good amd tasted a bit similar to tandoori chicken, but was filling.
The wings is were crispy and good, however I have had better in Toronto in terms of seasoning.
I will be back to try other dishes check them out if you like your Caribbean food.“

“Working on a hydro project in the area. I think I’ve eaten here almost every day in the month of December. Everything is ready so if you are working in the area, you won’t spend your lunch hour waiting for your food. just make sure you get in before 2-3 or else you’ll be outta luck for wings! #1 spot in the Jane and Shoreham area.“

“Highly recommended Caribbean cuisine with a Spice Isle twist.“

“This is my absolute favourite Caribbean restaurant in town! The pepper shrimp, special chicken and young chow fried rice are my favourite dishes and a must try. The service here is top tier and I love all the beautiful bartenders! The owners are also amazing people as well. Give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“I think Dimes is now my favorite Jamaican restaurant. My go-to would be fried chicken, however, barb fried, and the jerk is also fire. I'm not even into rice and peas but Dimes makes it really nice, I wish I knew how to make it like them.
I only just wish they would be a little bit more consistent with the coleslaw and the gravy, because sometimes they forget to add it even though you ask for it.“

“Sometimes the food is okay but it's a hit or miss. Recently bought a curried goat & Rice dinner Recently, it had too much gravey and the meat seemed as if they scraped the bottom of the pot. Sometimes the food is very salty and customer experience needs to be improved. Being courteous and pleasant goes a long way.“

“I ordered the large fried chicken with oxtail three days ago and I’m still dreaming about it lol. Definitely a treat at $22—not something I’d do all the time, but worth it.
Yes, the oxtail had a lot of bones, but I prefer that over overly fatty, cloying pieces, and the flavour was excellent. The fried chicken was perfection—not too breaded or over-seasoned.
There were about six customers ahead of me, and I still got my food in under 10 minutes. Easily one of the best spots in the city.“

“A favourite on campus. I especially love the veg cook-up rice. But also love the roti, pasta, and patties if I need something to go. I used to eat here a lot during my first year at York. Honestly such a treat having a Grenadian spot like this at on campus.“

“I went in twice today. I went to inquire about some cocktail patties. I was kind of overlooked the first time but to be fair I was a little aimless. The lady that spoke to me the first time was very knowledgeable and I appreciate her information and suggestions. I came back later and purchased my items. They no longer make cocktail patties. I haven't had these patties in awhile, although they're my long time favorite. They tasted a little different from the ones I sometimes get from my local bakery. I was pleasantly surprised to find there was a good amount of filling. They have a good variety of patties overall. Lots of people were coming in throughout the time I was there. I would highly recommend.“

“We ordered by Uber Eats. We got out order quickly and it was hot & yummy! Portion size was very generous. We will definitely be return customers.“

“Tried the cow foot soup and was immediately transported to my grandma's gourmet kitchen. What an amazingly pleasant, nostalgic experience. Best soup of any type that I have had in Canada. Thanks for the heart warming culinary experience and good customer service.

“Wiki Hut located in the Lawrence/Allen Mall is definitely was a happen upon type of stop as some of the food stores were closed and I was hungry I really did not want to stop somewhere else. The food was good. I ordered fried rice/noodle, veggie and Honey chicken/crispy chicken. It was one meal to go. I ate in the car as I really was famish. I was not aware that it was a specialty fried rice I though it was a veggie fried rice but, not the staff fault as I really did not look at the names on the glass I just ordered. I had not ordered Honey chicken before and it was tangy taste nothing like sweet and sour as I asked for that but, not the right place, lol. The lady explained that but she gave a bit of the gravy so it was nice. The crispy chicken was as said crispy and that is good. The mild noodles was good as well. I think because I was loaded I paid about twenty three dollars as I had food, lol. I was glad to try something different. I won't say I would not go back but, for this mall it isn't a first choice but the service was nice. Nice in Toronto is appreciated as it does not happen much. In all give Wiki Hut a try. Hopefully a good try for you too“

“I tried the Medley 1 for the first time. I chose the Medley 1, which had chicken rice, beef with mushrooms, and green beans. The beef was a little salty but so yummy. The server was really friendly about my first order and kindly let me take photos. The portion was generous.“

“My food was superb! It is so hard to find a place where they know how to prepare plantain but it was ripe and cooked to perfection. The curried chicken was also incredible. Service was one hundred percent. I will be visiting every time I am in the area because as I told the server since COVID it is so hard to find good Jamaican food.“
