Jamaican Restaurants near York, ON

“rumcakes are soooo good..“

“This is definitely a little Hidden Gem I must have passed by this place many times. So glad I noticed it on my way to Shoppers Drug Mart. Definitely some of the best oxtail in the city it was literally fall off the bone melt in your mouth. Owner was super nice you can tell he puts love into the food definitely going to be a regular here. I came right before closing so he ran out of coleslaw so instead he gave me watermelon which was absolutely incredible“

“The food was amazing and the customer service was outstanding! The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The staff were welcoming and made us feel right at home, the old man was very kind and generous. If you're looking for great Jamaican food, I highly recommend Lloyd's Jamaican Restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“It was our first time trying this gem of a place and definitely not our last! Our server Matthew was so helpful and kind, he made our experience very memorable. We had the pleasure of also chatting with Khadeem who should be a server with that personality and charm! Thank you to Vanessa for your kindness, you have a fantastic team 😊“

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

“After driving around searching for a nice, down to earth in terms of our Jamaican presence on this special day for us all Jamaicans I can tell you it was worth stopping by. The food,music and atmosphere was great. Surely it didn't disappoint. Well done and keep on lifting up our culture in the best possible way.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place. I always order the fried fry and mash or shrimp and mash. Just wish it came with vegetables(steamed or fresh doesn't matter just more veggies; broccoli, cabbage). Subtracting 1 star for no vegetables.
But overall the food is 10/10 and it's always a nice atmosphere.“

“best curry chicken with rice and peas. also delicious patties and coco bread. This is definitely a must return to place 100%“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious Jamaican jerk chicken! The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a great smoky kick. The portions were generous, making it an excellent value for the price. Everything tasted fresh, and the sides paired really well with the chicken. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place!“

“The jerk chicken is Peerless. We’ve enjoyed it for years and recommend you enjoy it too.“

“I’m calling it right now, this is officially my new favorite spot in the city! I went here after hearing all the buzz online about the oxtail patty and is definitely worth the hype. The food was fresh, the service was amazing and place was clean. This is a must go to spot in the city, highly recommend!“

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

“Great family meal here. First time and it was so delicious. The ladies were so friendly.“

“Great customer service & tasty food!“

“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. 🌶🍗🍟“

“We ordered by Uber Eats. We got out order quickly and it was hot & yummy! Portion size was very generous. We will definitely be return customers.“

“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.“

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

“I had the oxtail meal and it was delicious. It was a little on the sweet side, but the flavor was excellent and everything tasted fresh and well-made. The portions were generous, and I was definitely satisfied.

The lady working there was also very friendly and welcoming, I’ll definitely be coming back.“

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

“It was first time dining in at Taudo's yesterday and my family and I had a great time! The portion sizes of each meal was significant. I really enjoyed the garlic butter shrimp pasta while my family had the brown stew fish.
We'll definitely be back :)!“

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

“This place is nostalgic for me. It has been a few years since I've been there because I moved away from the community. However, it was great to be back. The staff treated me like I was still part of the community. I even received a free patty. Thank you!“

“My favorite spot in Toronto“

“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.“

“I came there for AUNTY DONNA THAT FOOD WAS THE BEST WISH YOU COULD TEACH ME HOW TO COOK THE FISH AND THE RICE“

“My food was superb! It is so hard to find a place where they know how to prepare plantain but it was ripe and cooked to perfection. The curried chicken was also incredible. Service was one hundred percent. I will be visiting every time I am in the area because as I told the server since COVID it is so hard to find good Jamaican food.“

“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!“

“Rum Punch for sure. good food, Good service!“

“My local go to spot for jerk chicken and patties. I was a regular at the OG Fahmee Bakery before it burnt down and even though the recipe is different the food still hits! If you order a platter be sure you have them bless the rice and peas with that oxtail gravy...IYKYK“

“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!“
