Jamaican Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“Nice ambiance, great food (salty for me). Service seems to be improved. The bathroom sink was blocked when I got I the restaurant. We ordered the appetizer, then nothing until everyone else in the restaurant got their food including those who came later than us. Called the waitress, the manager seemed to try to explain, but we all knew what happened. We don't need an explanation, we need an apology.“

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

“The best Caribbean food I’ve found in Toronto and definitely the area. We love their jerk chicken (with rice and peas or the potatoes) and ox tail, especially the ox tail pasta. Incredible place, friendly people. I recommend ordering in advance to cut down on wait time.“

“Hey I came here one time and I know I'll be a repeat customer here. The service is warm and friendly. The food taste like home. I had the oxtail and stew chicken. I really liked it. It was fresh. The pastries are fresh! Love the drops! Annette is such a blessings, always positive! Great conversation. Overall good service 10/10“

“yes, their portions are great. Jerk chicken poutine changed my life“

“Gerry's Fine Foods: A Taste of Jamaica (with a pleasant surprise!)

I recently visited Gerry's Fine Foods, and I have to say, their Jamaican patties are absolutely incredible. The crust is a true standout – light, flaky, and wonderfully buttery, providing the perfect contrast to the flavorful filling. And speaking of the filling, it hits all the right notes with just the right amount of spice, delivering that authentic kick without being overpowering.

My only minor critique, when comparing them to some other local spots, is that the filling does feel a bit less in quantity. However, this is easily overlooked when you consider the overall quality.

What truly surprised me was that I had just returned from a trip to Jamaica, and honestly, Gerry's patties were so much better! Go figure! They truly nail the flavor profile and texture.

Well done, Gerry's Fine Foods! Your patties are a must-try.“

“Wow wow wow as a Jamaican now I can say I found a real Jamaican restaurant who understands Jamaican taste I have tried so many restaurants and tell you the truth it’s garbage I swear these Jamaican restaurants cooking for Canadian born people if you are a Jamaican and you want to taste that real authentic Jamaican food this the place to be ????????????????????????“

“The jerk chicken is Peerless. We’ve enjoyed it for years and recommend you enjoy it too.“

“Wat Ah Jerk catered my daughter’s baby shower, and everything was absolutely amazing! Hanin was so helpful from the very first time I reached out and stayed responsive throughout the entire process. The food arrived right on time, and most importantly, it was delicious! Everyone at the shower couldn’t stop raving about it. 10/10 would definitely recommend Wat Ah Jerk for any event“

“Great customer service & tasty food!“

“If you haven’t been to Tropical yet, you’re missing out.
Nickisha runs this place with so much heart — the kind of energy that makes you feel like family the second you walk in. You can tell she loves what she does because every plate she serves has that home-cooked care behind it.
Now let’s talk about these fries. Loaded with grilled chicken, melted cheese, and fresh peppers — every bite is smoky, juicy, and ridiculously satisfying. The chicken is perfectly seasoned, the fries have that golden crisp, and the whole thing is drizzled in sauce that ties it together like a hug in food form.
She doesn’t just serve food — she serves comfort. Her kindness, her laughter, and her attention to detail make this spot a must-visit. Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting down for a quick meal, you’ll leave feeling full in more ways than one.
Tropical isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a vibe. Come hungry, come curious, and let Nickisha reminds you what good food and good energy really taste like. 🌶🍗🍟“

“Best food I’ve ever had 🙏🏽“

“This review is based solely on the spicy beef patty. It was hot and mouth watering.. hadn’t had one in awhile and this place definitely hit the spot. It was flakey, flavourful, and a bit of spice with temp being hot especially on a cold winters day. Try it out, must go back and try the rest of the menu.“

“Fresh patties made right on-site — absolutely the highlight. They’re hot, flaky, and really delicious. The rest of the menu items are decent but nothing exceptional, and a few weren’t good at all. Still, I’d go back mainly for those amazing patties!“

“My favorite spot in Toronto“

“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.“

“To Jay and First We Feast, I guess you need to find yourselves another restaurant and keep your negative comments. That place is the best...job well done“

“Rum Punch for sure. good food, Good service!“
