Umi's Kitchen: Halal Caribbean food

I finally was able to attend UMI's Kitchen after so many attempts by UBER and DoorDash as it always says unavailable. I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. I thought it was located more east on Dundas but it's actually near Dundas and Sherbourne. Toronto has tried to revive the neighborhood but, it has the same energy. I was lucky as parking is street parking so expect to park and run in to get your order. It looked closed when I got out and the door is not new but, I got in. It isn't a big place but the lady who got my order was pleasant. I ordered a small Oxtail (not cheap no more), side bbq chicken, 1 veggie and 1 beef patty, small chicken soup (good), Pineapple soda. I thought the salad would be handled but no salad like no coleslaw! I was like wow. The food is good. I really enjoyed the veggie patty wish I had gotten three of them. The bbq chicken was nice. Not hot but, it was a great add to my Oxtail meal. I was glad I finally could say I gave this place a try. I am sure others will attend. The area isn't the most desired place to attend but, it's about the food which for this day was my goal.

The food is amazing. The jerk and bbq chicken are so moist and tender. The meat literally falls off the bone!!!! The rice and beans are so moist. The lunch deal is so worth it. Do not sleep on this place😫

This place is a hidden gem in the downtown core !!! A must for authentic Jamaican food !!! I highly recommend it !!! 10/10 great energy and even better people them 😁

It was good food.
Some good small bites options as well.
Service was okay and fast enough

Owner was super nice and the food was great! Would recommend their bbq and curry chicken.

Homey space in the downtown area, so keep in mind of the possible population around the shop. Nevertheless the oxtails had a good flavor just fatty and not enough meat for me, but the rice and beans were good especially with the gravy. Jerk was good seasoned well 1/1 white and dark with rice and beans. Give a try if you’re by

Unsure as to what was going on when I had visited this time however there were homeless people tearing up the place during regular hours. Overall did not even feel like a restaurant.

Came with high expectations because of the reviewsBut I was disappointedThe curry chicken wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Very average and not enough flavourAlso the price and portion was disappointing. This medium sized container was $15

I ordered the curry goat meat only because they didn't have roti. It was yummy! Will definitely go again and

It's in the worst area imaginable, but the food and service is amazing, it's just that anybody can walk in and anything can happen. You'll have random people selling stole goods to a guy coming in and yelling very loud. Just be

I am a white girl who loves Caribbean food. I stopped in here last week to grab some lunch and I ordered the small oxtail. The woman who served the oxtail to me charged me for a large oxtail. I didn’t realize until I got back to my office. I am disappointed that I was charged the wrong price.
