Jamaican Restaurants near York, ON

“Jonny the waiter was not only attentive, but also so catering to the needs of our group. He made sure our drinks were always topped up during the live band also while caring for a full out door patio. Matty in the back who carried out my steak did an incredible job not only was it cooked to satisfactory but it was above and beyond what my expectations were I had the best experience I could have asked for and would recommend to anyone i possibly could.

Parking: Tons of parking“

“Took a wrong turn while coming home and found this hidden gem. Starting from owner Chris he greeted us like family and took his time to prepare our food. We got jerk chicken with rice and peas and oxtail with plain rice. Next he offered us fresh special cane juice if we were interested and thank God we said yes because OMG the juice which he made fresh for us we had never tried anything like that before. This juice was a mixture of Sugarcane, cocunet water fresh ginger and lime, it was so refreshing on the ice. Food smelled and tasted great and you can feels Chris passion and love for his cooking in the food. We will definitely be back to try more stuff and I would recommend it 100% if anyone is looking for a amazing, authentication Jamaican food“

“Exceptional great culinary skills unique and tasty food friendly atmosphere“

“The food was great, I had jerk chicken, rice and peas, and slaw on the side. I’m still trying to figure out what the dressing on the slaw was because it tasted so fresh and fruity instead of that gross mayo type sauce that a lot of people use. I don’t live anywhere near Toronto so I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to visit again, but highly recommend!“

“Amazing food and friendly service. Great jerk chicken meals. Love their curry chicken roti, and their hot sauces are real tasty also! A Toronto original. Check them out!“

“I work close by and Caribbean Queen is the spot for Lunch. No doubt. The food you get for the price they offer is top tier. Chicken always well cooked, solid gravy, light coleslaw. 🔥🔥🔥

The 1 star reviewers below me are out of their mind.“

“For our first night in Toronto for a girls' trip, we had dinner at Chubby's given the good reviews and me mentioning wanting to try the various Caribbean spots during our stay. The decor gives island vibes with the wooden furniture and tranquil color choice for decor. Staff were all pretty helpful, with you waiter being pretty attentive.

For my drink, I ordered the rum punch which was pretty good in the balance of flavorand alcohol content. In terms of food, the portions for my entree (Oxtail Stew) was a little smaller than I thought but or actually worked out well and was enough. The oxtail was cooked down, well seasoned and tender, but I felt like I got a lot of pieces that were just bone or pretty fatty. The other food/Likkle bites I ordered to share with one of my friends were also very good. The Pepper Shrimp definitely had a heavy kick of spice to it and tasty. I really enjoyed the Saltfish (Cod) Fritters - they were tasty, had a good chutney to go with it. The plantains were cooked perfectly so that they stayed soft.

All in all, we had a good dining experience.“

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

“A hidden gem we never knew existed! If you're craving Carribean food, this place says it all! First time ordering here after searching for a nearby place that sells oxtail and curry goat. The portion is very generous and the oxtail falls off the bone and is marinated very well. The coleslaw adds some freshness and is a nice side dish to have to cut down the rich flavour. The server was really nice and served us with a smiling face. He is very confident that their dishes are really good and that we'll love it. A Goldstar indeed! A must visit whenever in this area.“

“yes, their portions are great. Jerk chicken poutine changed my life“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hey I came here one time and I know I'll be a repeat customer here. The service is warm and friendly. The food taste like home. I had the oxtail and stew chicken. I really liked it. It was fresh. The pastries are fresh! Love the drops! Annette is such a blessings, always positive! Great conversation. Overall good service 10/10“

“OMG soooo delicious, awesome flavor should of gotten a large lol, next time“

“I ordered via Uber Eats. The curry shrimp roti was delicious, but I was given an overload of potatoes and a little bit of shrimp. The spicy patty was delicious; however, I wasn’t a fan of the coconut bread. The food came hot, but I was disappointed they forgot to place utensils in with my order. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would order again.“

“Gerry's Fine Foods: A Taste of Jamaica (with a pleasant surprise!)

I recently visited Gerry's Fine Foods, and I have to say, their Jamaican patties are absolutely incredible. The crust is a true standout – light, flaky, and wonderfully buttery, providing the perfect contrast to the flavorful filling. And speaking of the filling, it hits all the right notes with just the right amount of spice, delivering that authentic kick without being overpowering.

My only minor critique, when comparing them to some other local spots, is that the filling does feel a bit less in quantity. However, this is easily overlooked when you consider the overall quality.

What truly surprised me was that I had just returned from a trip to Jamaica, and honestly, Gerry's patties were so much better! Go figure! They truly nail the flavor profile and texture.

Well done, Gerry's Fine Foods! Your patties are a must-try.“

“This place is hard to find but when you do it is amazing. Park underground follow the signs to the shops. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk all the way to the end there’s a food court. 100% must try! We ordered the ackee and saltish, it was made fresh and was very delicious. The festivals were nice and soft. The customer service was great and the wait wasn’t long at all.“

“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. 🌶🍗🍟“

“I highly recommend Zone 6 Restaurant and Lounge. Their customer service is second to none. The proprietor and staff treats you like family. The food is consistently outstanding, tasty and exceeds my expectations every time. I am alwsys completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Zone 6 is the place to be.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious & their signature rum punch is not for the meek! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 😋 😋 😋.

“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“

“Wat Ah Jerk catered my daughter’s baby shower, and everything was absolutely amazing! Hanin was so helpful from the very first time I reached out and stayed responsive throughout the entire process. The food arrived right on time, and most importantly, it was delicious! Everyone at the shower couldn’t stop raving about it. 10/10 would definitely recommend Wat Ah Jerk for any event“

“It takes alot for me to write a review. I really love Flavours Sport Bar and Grill! Good food that not only taste great but severed with love and a touch of class. I been coming here for over 2 years with my friends, Co workers and family. We enjoy the consistency of the food and good staff that make you feel right at home. Tried their catering also and it was a real hit. You cannot go wrong when you eat at Flavous Sports Bar and Grill.
Thanks for all you and your team do.“

“The food here is exceptional on all standards. 11/10 for flavour and presentation. The service was friendly just don’t be in a rush. The wait is worth it. My mom has the coconut curry shrimp with Provision and I had the oxtail with rice and peas with macaroni salad. I wish I came here sooner. Highly recommended! I will certainly be back. Oh btw, it was so tasty we ordered food to go.“

“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“

“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 buy tinnels Jamaican patties from the Real Canadian Superstore in Scarborough frozen. The price for a box of 10 for $10.49. I love the mild and spicy beef.

We have tried so many patties over the years but these are king!“

“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!“

“Really great place... I ordered from reserve to go and it was perfect, no issues and food os awesome.“

“patties extremely fresh and affordable“
