“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!“

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.“

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

“Tried this place for the first time yesterday with a group of people and we had a great time! The service was fast, the music was on point, and the food was delicious. We had pounded yam with egusi soup and pepper stew, whole grilled fish, jollof rice, and plantain. All of them tasted great! Can't wait to try their suya and yam porridge next time. Great job guys!“

“Found them on UBER while looking for lunch. Googled reviews first and thought I’d try. Happy I did! Such good price for tasty food. I got six wings for about $5 dollars, jerk chicken leg for $3.75 and some sides. As someone who doesn’t seem to like jerk chicken, theirs was really good. Will try again!!! 🙂“

“Had Today Amazing Food Amazing Staff... The Real Jerk Truck... Amazing...“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Small restaurant with a super hospitable, approachable and friendly staff. While dining, there was nice reggae music playing in the background. Typical Jamaican restaurant menu with a few unique items and custom drinks. The food was average tasting and well presented. I was educated about the history and how the restaurant was established which was enjoyable. My overall experience was positive and I would consider returning in the future. check my video review of this restaurant.“

“I MUST say nuff nuff big up to the entire Caribbean Queen jerk family for the entire family dinner that they gave out today. Quality meals handed out to anyone who came through the door. Very well Done.“

“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!💯👌“

“Friendly People, Incredible Ceğê Kebab!

The staff here are so welcoming, and the food is something special. No other Turkish restaurant in Toronto serves authentic Ceğê Kebab — this is the only one in Canada! The taste is rich and unforgettable. If you’ve never tried Ceğê Kebab, this is a must-visit!“

“Highly recommended Caribbean cuisine with a Spice Isle twist.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! Amazing servers! Definitely one of the best! Ill surely keep on coming back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love the food, prices are amazing! and that new Verve drink they have taste great“

“My fav Carribean spot in Toronto. What you need to know:
1. If you’re a pasta salad fan, this place has the best one I’ve had anywhere in the world. It is addictive. You know when you have something that’s so unique and good, and you think “this must be some sort of special family recipe”? This pasta salad is it. Whenever I go I buy extra.
2. Jerk chicken and oxtail are both fantastic. Great flavours. Ox tail pieces are well-sized, too, relative to what you sometimes get at other places. Not cheap ($16-$18 for the cup of it) but you get what you pay for, for a change.
3. Their hot sauce is probably the hottest hot sauce I’ve ever had. And I’m somebody who grew up with Koreans and Chinese folks (numbing spice iykyk), have had my fair share of real Thai, and indulge in Hot Ones sauces regularly. This is the *only* sauce that will immediately give me hiccups if I have more than a droplet. A lot of hot sauces build up on you; this one is like a punch. I recommend taking a tiny amount and spreading it out to lightly dab it. Really nice flavour when it doesn’t overwhelm.
4. Good variety of drinks to go with your meal. Get a peanut punch if you’ve never tried such a thing, imo good complement to the spice and flavours.
5. Not really a dine-in spot in terms of vibe, but there’s more than enough room if you want to, maybe about 4-6 tables that can each handle 4 or so people.

I think it’s telling that you get all manner of people coming in and many sound like devout regulars. Maybe you’ll become one, too. Enjoy! 🫡“

“I am an Anglo with a Guyanese husband. I love a good curry roti. After trying this restaurant I don’t want Caribbean flavours anywhere else. Great chicken curry; best doubles I ever tasted. I liked everything we ordered. Great service too. If you want the real thing you won’t be disappointed. It’s worth the drive to Brampton.“

“Buen sitio buena Atencion“

“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 👌“

“Buen sitio buena Atencion“

“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.“

“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.“

“My Husband has been raving about the food at this place and today he brought home 1/2lb of jerk and fried chicken with fry sauce and OMG!!! DELICIOUS 😋 😋 😋.

Special shout out to BRITTANY who offered WONDERFUL service and kindness to him and provided an atmosphere that made us feel welcomed to return again and again 😊.

God Bless you 🙏🏾 ❤️“

“It is true when Charles Swindoll said, "Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"... Yes, it's the fact, and I am saying this because of what Mr Hans of triumphantfoundation.com has done for me by giving me a huge loan which I least expected to be true. Indeed, T.F is great and that's the reason why I am recommending them to those that need financial assistance. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Mr Hans and the entire T.F has really blessed me and made me feel good and if anyone is seeking for assistance, I will solidly advise them to contact T.F for their loans because they are reliable and true to the core. "I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples". this was the exact words from Mother Teresa, so I have done my part and God bless you all. triumphantfoundation.com“

“One of the best in the city hand down, everything is fresh. Everything is good no lie. I make it a point to stop in anytime I'm working in the area. Top ah top fried and bbq chicken. Must try if you haven't, lunch and student specials make it one of the best deals in the city too. The girls up front are always great.“

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

“Located in an industrial plaza, and easily missed. I know we have driven by many times and never knew it was there. But, the staple dish of Fried Chicken over fried rice is a must have. We also had Jerk Pork Appetizer, which was more like a meal than an appetizer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for Carribean Chinese food with generous portions and reasonable prices.“

“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.

Parking: Mall parking“

“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“
