The lady that’s cooking the food is an absolute sweetheart, not to mention the food is outstanding. Another local gem I recommend this to anyone who loves any kind of Jamaican or Caribbean food.

“If your reading this, the location to the restaurant is IN THE PLAZA ON THE SECOND FLOOR, up the escalator and straight forward on the left hand side. The location mapped by google maps is wrong!

Absolutely loved the food, the rich flavors and warm welcome to this hidden gem. Was craving and found this place by accident and was thankful I came to the right place! Highly recommend this place.

Purchased the medium curry goat, coleslaw and pineapple drink“

“Food here was AMAZING! Due to covid this was an Uber Eats order but you would never know it was delivery. The food was hot and fresh! The jerk chicken was moist and full of flavor. You could taste the spices from the skin down to the meat. Bone included! The plantains were soft, sweet, juicy and when you bit into it, the flavor just exploded in your mouth! If you’re in the Vaughn area of Toronto I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by if you’re craving Caribbean food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place to eat and friendly staff.👍🏿 must try“

“My family and I were pleasantly surprised!
The restaurant is very clean.
We ordered the oasis and special chicken fried rice. All i have to say is......*chefs kiss*
it was very very tasty. Please support this local restaurant! You won't be disappointed.“

“A hidden gem in Mississauga I came across by accident. The restaurant had an offer on Skip the Dishes for free delivery over $30, a late night special. I checked out the reviews and decided to give them a try. Being a Guyanese girl myself, our standards for authentic Guyanese Chinese food is very high. And we tend to already have our usual go to spots for these dishes. But boy was I surprised and in luck! Just opening the fried rice box and the smell alone, I knew that I was in for a huge treat! The special fried rice is served with crispy fried chicken on top. It was exceptional and the chicken was juicy and tender inside and very crispy on the outside. I also ordered the pepper wings. They were very well seasoned, spicy and extra crispy. I was shocked that both dishes were still piping hot and super crispy despite my home being almost 15 minutes away from the restaurant. I also ordered a few shrimp rolls, that were also very crispy and delicious! If you’re looking for the real deal authentic Guyanese Chinese food in Mississauga, definitely check them out! I’m so happy I found this spot and will be back!“

“The food was amazing and the guy who served me was so nice! I would definitely be recommending it to friends and family“

“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.“

“The food was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I had such a a good time. We hosted my uncle memorial here. J is awesome. Such a dynamo of good vibes! I definitely recommend this spot. The food was on point. The drinks kept coming. The laughter was endless. The people are friendly. I met a new friend from Morocco.“

“Spotlight Caribbean Kitchen @ 130 Queens Plate Drive is an absolute gem for authentic Jamaican food in Toronto! The restaurant is spotless, well-maintained, and offers comfortable dine-in options for families, friends, or solo visits. The friendly staff go above and beyond with excellent customer service, making every visit feel warm and welcoming.

Their menu is loaded with delicious Caribbean snacks and meals — from tender, flavorful oxtail and perfectly seasoned curry goat to hearty Manish Water (goat head soup), crispy fried plantains, and fresh, flaky Jamaican patties. Every bite is bursting with authentic island flavor.

There’s lots of parking available, and the place is child-friendly, making it perfect for a family outing. If you’re craving true Jamaican cuisine in a clean, inviting atmosphere, Spotlight Caribbean Kitchen is a must-visit spot!💯👌“

“A Must-Try Caribbean Gem!
Emily Palace Caribbean Restaurant is an absolute treasure! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. You can really feel the pride they take in making every guest feel at home.
The food? Incredible. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with that authentic smoky kick—tender, juicy, and bursting with Caribbean flavor. And the pasta salad was the perfect complement: fresh, creamy, and delicious with every bite. Together, the combo was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.
If you’re looking for amazing Caribbean cuisine paired with top-tier service, Emily Palace is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌴🔥🍽️“

“This is my first visit to Island Thyme. I ordered a small curry goat with rice and peas and a fried dumpling on the side. The food was absolutely delicious! The goat was well-seasoned and so tender. The cashier was friendly and the meal was reasonably priced too. I'll definitely be back - and will order a large.“

“Great staff, cheap decent food. However the name says Caribbean but being from Barbados and travelled throughout the islands. I can say it is just food. Need to remove the Caribbean part. Not one thing authentic from the Caribbean.But that being said decent quality food just not what it says it is“

“Fast service great buffalo wings 👌“

“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.“

“Been coming to this restaurant since I was younger with family and I love it. The servers are best and always have a good time with friends when I'm there. My favorite dishes are the pepper shrimp and mixed fried rice, and the pepper sauce never misses“

“Wooy!! I came back twice with the 30 minute drive because the food was that good!! Mya exceptional customer service. You greeted me, gave me multiple options and left me with a really great first impression. See the curry chicken dehhh. Each photo different experience: I like my food consistent.

The rice & peas is soo good! Come like Jamaica bring the peas for them.

I will most certainly return not just for the food but for Mya she knows her stuff! Side note; she even told me about a wicked hair stylist before the shop!! Big up yourselves! I paid $14“

“amazing staff amazing food overall an amazing place“

“We ordered catering for a family birthday party; curry goat (small), oxtail (small)
, jerk chicken (small) and rice and peas (medium) for 12 people. The food was great, ready on time, fairly priced and everyone was able to take some leftovers. Even the baby ate the rice and peas and jerk chicken. We all enjoyed it and will be ordering again for family get togethers. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“We LOVE Debe's Roti & Doubles!!! The food is AMAZING!! Highly recommend!!“

“Went here allot as a kid... their food is a taste of our homeland exceptional Chinese food and customer service was top notch... I really loved the chicken in rough... always was a favourite... too bad I moved back to guyana and can't get to enjoy this amazing cuisine everyday...“

“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.

“Been coming here for ages.
Went today to grab a few patties.
TASTEE delivery truck came when we had just parked. Mind you we were in a proper spot, the driver parked so close to us, it was hard to get out.
You guys should clearly mark the parking spots to thd left and right of where the truck parks.

Coco bun about $7.50/bag
12 patties $18.00 and change
24 patties $27.00 and change“
