  Excellent food with daily specials. Had Jerk Beef special and a Tropical Salad starter - very good. My friends reported the same of their dishes. You will not be disappointed - and it has take-out (UberEats and Skip the Dishes)

  Food is always consistent, flavourful, and fresh! We also love all of Chef Carlton’s various hot sauces that are sold instore (and around the city!) and he’s always super friendly and helpful too!

  Nice little restaurant. Authentic Caribbean food. Very good service. Everything seems fresh. Great fresh in house ginger beer. The goat roti was delicious. Prices are very fair for the portions. Quick service.

  When I first found this place it was great, but it seems to have gone down to a hit or miss now. I always get the oxtail plate and usually it tastes great, lots of big pieces of oxtail and flavorful sauce. The last few times I went, the rice was dry and I barely got any sauce, with 3 or 4 tiny pieces of oxtail that don't fall off the bone. Not sure if they have a new cook or maybe I ordered too close to closing and they were almost out of food so I ended up with the bottom of the pot, but it sucked. Especially since I usually order on UberEats where the prices are higher than getting it in person and I pay for delivery. Decided to try it one last time today before giving up and it was back to normal, but the quality seems inconsistent so I won't be ordering as often as I used to. The restaurant itself is a nice small place, you can get take out or sit and eat. Whoever is at the front desk/bar that day is always welcoming. Only thing I don't like is that they don't open until late afternoon on most days, usually either 3 or 4 so I can never get it for lunch. Compared to Toronto, the portions are much bigger for around the same prices, and it tastes way better too. Never disappointed unless it's one of those off days.
