Jamaican Restaurants in Toronto, ON

“I initially wanted to go for brunch because the options look stunning but we got there late, however, the food was perfection!! I would gladly go again at any time of the day! Jerk chicken, oxtail, and plantains were to die for truly! If you’re looking for flavour, look no further! The vibes are also so upbeat and the staff absolutely welcoming, impossible not to enjoy :) balanced and very filling meal definitely stop by!“

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

“Delivered from this place for the first time and I hands down tasted the best jerk chicken meal in Toronto. The rice was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the jerk was absolutely delicious.

Definitely so happy I stopped by today“

“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“

“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. 🌶🍗🍟“

“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.“

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

“Great customer service & tasty food!“

“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.“

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

“Your tummy will thank you!“

“Great place to get your dinner.

Though the lady was, for some reason not wanting to put gravy on my rice.
She put a scoop n a bit, I’d said you’ll need to put more than that, I like a lot more, it’s just gravy.
I’ve come here for decades never had this issue, nor have I seen her before.
I’d said I don’t want as much peas n rice, I like about half the rice, n more gravy.
The gent who’s usually there has never had n issue.
It’s gravy, on the rice.
She did though, she looked like I was offending her?

Otherwise love this place.

Really sad.“

“Food was incredible, parking can be tricky out front, I didnt try the parking behind the building, but who cares the food was so delicious. Had some crushed scotch bonnet on the side but it wasn't spicy...I think they were trying to protect me by giving me the young green ones, or maybe they mixed it with crushed green peppers? 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️ Food was amazing though, patties are also amazing, definitely going back!!!“

“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.“

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

“I came there for AUNTY DONNA THAT FOOD WAS THE BEST WISH YOU COULD TEACH ME HOW TO COOK THE FISH AND THE RICE“
