Jamaican Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“It was our first time trying this gem of a place and definitely not our last! Our server Matthew was so helpful and kind, he made our experience very memorable. We had the pleasure of also chatting with Khadeem who should be a server with that personality and charm! Thank you to Vanessa for your kindness, you have a fantastic team 😊“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Great family meal here. First time and it was so delicious. The ladies were so friendly.“

“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. 🌶🍗🍟“

“I had the oxtail meal and it was delicious. It was a little on the sweet side, but the flavor was excellent and everything tasted fresh and well-made. The portions were generous, and I was definitely satisfied.

The lady working there was also very friendly and welcoming, I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This place is nostalgic for me. It has been a few years since I've been there because I moved away from the community. However, it was great to be back. The staff treated me like I was still part of the community. I even received a free patty. Thank you!“

“Your tummy will thank you!“

“It’s incredible how a small meal like a beef patty is filling than 10$+ full course meals. It’s a snack a beef patty but it’s just so filling, made with care and love. Parking can be an issue but the security guards do the most to help you out. The cashiers move quick and they handle food properly accordingly to safety standards. This patty spot is a must try!“

“My favorite spot in Toronto“
