50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Vaughan

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I live downtown and so thats the location I order from. Amazing goat curry and fried chicken. Stew oeas is delicious too.“

“Came here at 21:30 on Wednesday March 4 2026. The ladies here were so kind and patient with me as I asked questions about their vegetarian options and the differences between the flatbread offerings. This menu has such amazing variety and flavour profiles that I imagine even the pickiest eaters can find something they like (such as myself!). I was worried that the items I wanted to try would use too much garlic and onion As I write this review it’s 1:16 am and I don’t have any nausea so I think I’m in the clear. I ordered the paratha and Chana masala (the more tomato version) and a samosa with the tangy sauce. The total came to 26.88. I decided to eat part of the order there as it was already so late and I hadn’t eaten since 12 and having just finished work was hungry. The food was steaming hot which was amazing as I was cold on such a Canadian winter day. They were kind to not make me feel rushed at all considering the time. The environment in the restaurant was clean and calm and I know I was getting a good quality “home cooked meal”. There was great pride in her establishments menu and she explained how each item is made and prepared and how they differ. I enjoyed talking about the history of Trinidad and how Aroma has a mixture of Trinidadian , Jamaican, south and East Asian foods.
I will definitely be back. Thank you for nourishing me.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“I drove all the way from Stoneycreek to give this a try because I was craving some good Roti! I ordered to goats! So tender Annd soo gooood! The customer service was amazing, I felt very welcomed! If your looking for some good Carribean dishes RUN to this place!“

“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 bad reviews from 2 years ago are irrelevant. This is a review for 2026.

I have been coming here a lot for the last 3 years. I have enjoyed my food every single time. I'll review what I have ordered in those 3 years:

Jerk Chicken- the way they make it here is great. Cooked throughly, jerked well, and always available. Pairs very well with their rice and peas and oxtail gravy even if you get it boneless.

Fried Chicken- incredible. Please try it yourself. Pairs amazingly well with their rice and peas and oxtail gravy.

Ox Tail- some times boney but the staff tend to ensure you get the meatier pieces. Their gravy is extremely flavorful and has a great consistency. Incredible.

Sides- the coleslaw is fantasitc and made exactly the way I personally love slaw; not disgustingly wet. But allow me to stop you there. Get. The. Mac. Salad. Just get the macaroni salad.

Fried dumplings and beef patties- exactly what you think they are they're a great addition to whatever you choose to get.

TLDR - anything you get here is going to be satisfying. I haven't ordered a single thing I didn't like. Come and enjoy great Caribbean food at Emily's Palace.

Also, nothing here is outrageous in price. This is the most fairly priced food in the area.“

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

“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.“

“A delicious Jamaican meal for $10? Mind. Blown.

This unassuming little diner may be my new favorite restaurant. It's a hidden gem in the Concord warehouse district.

I ordered the daily special, with a 1L bottle of pop and taxes, the total came out to just under $15. The food was delicious and fresh, and the hostess was ridiculously friendly and engaging.“

“Buen sitio buena Atencion“

“I had such a great experience here. The customer service was amazing from the moment we walked in. The food was authentic and honestly some of the best Caribbean food I’ve had in a while.

The rice and peas were rich and perfectly seasoned. The fish was made fresh to order, which took about 20 minutes since it wasn’t on the daily menu, but it was absolutely worth the wait. It was fresh, well seasoned, and cooked perfectly.

The oxtail was outstanding — well seasoned, tender, and literally falling off the bone. It was so good it makes you want to chew the bone.

The pasta salad was perfect, and the coleslaw was just as good — fresh, creamy, and balanced everything nicely.

Overall, amazing food, authentic flavours , and excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“Orlando's is on the second floor at 7777 Weston Road. The owners are friendly and awesome . Need to go back and try other dishes.
My wife and I got the jerk chicken rice and peas with salad. Delicious. The pineapple ginger and sorrel drinks were amazing. Pineapple ginger drink has a kick to it because of the ginger. 10 out of 10. Please go and try the food. Will not be disappointed.“

“This is my absolute favourite Caribbean restaurant in town! The pepper shrimp, special chicken and young chow fried rice are my favourite dishes and a must try. The service here is top tier and I love all the beautiful bartenders! The owners are also amazing people as well. Give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“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.“

“I ordered the large fried chicken with oxtail three days ago and I’m still dreaming about it lol. Definitely a treat at $22—not something I’d do all the time, but worth it.
Yes, the oxtail had a lot of bones, but I prefer that over overly fatty, cloying pieces, and the flavour was excellent. The fried chicken was perfection—not too breaded or over-seasoned.
There were about six customers ahead of me, and I still got my food in under 10 minutes. Easily one of the best spots in the city.“

“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!!“

“just WOW! I stopped at the cedar pointe location this afternoon to grab some doubles and they did not disappoint! I've been waiting for someone to open a place that makes delicious doubles in Barrie and I will be going back for sure!“

“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“

“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...“

“amazing staff amazing food overall an amazing place“

“I live downtown and so thats the location I order from. Amazing goat curry and fried chicken. Stew oeas is delicious too.“

“I went in twice today. I went to inquire about some cocktail patties. I was kind of overlooked the first time but to be fair I was a little aimless. The lady that spoke to me the first time was very knowledgeable and I appreciate her information and suggestions. I came back later and purchased my items. They no longer make cocktail patties. I haven't had these patties in awhile, although they're my long time favorite. They tasted a little different from the ones I sometimes get from my local bakery. I was pleasantly surprised to find there was a good amount of filling. They have a good variety of patties overall. Lots of people were coming in throughout the time I was there. I would highly recommend.“

“The pepper shrimp combo is awesome. Have been here many times and everything I have ordered was great.“

“Great food! Great portions , Price and excellent service! 💯 Do not miss out on this restaurant!“

“The workers here recognized most of my family members and would give a bit more of the dish proportions, especially when it comes to our favorites. Lovely workers and very accomodating. Would order their food every time I walk to centerpoint“

“My favorite restaurant throughout the entirety of Canada. The Veggie Platters? Bhaji, Bodhi, Tomato Choka, Baigan? 10/10. The Doubles? 10/10. The only place that can compete with actual Trinidadian doubles vendors. Dead serious. If you a Trini seeking Trini food? THIS is the place. There's no others like it, and I've eaten at a dozen competitors. TOP-TIER 10/10, you must try it!“

“amazing staff amazing food overall an amazing place“

“Quick spot to grab food and go price inflation got to this restaurant it was best for a cheap meal now the special is higher around 8 dollars but what's worst is limiting food. Don't inflate the price and give noticable smaller portions“
