    Chicken stew with beans rice & salad.  Very yummy!!!!
    Mayu M.

    The portions are big and great tasting!! The best Caribbean restaurant in Etobicoke!!!!!!

    The restaurant is a bit of a hole in the wall. Very old and needs some serious work. Chairs are almost falling apart. Lots of smoke coming from the kitchen when we were there. We didn't go to the washrooms as we heard they were awful. However, food was pretty good. Not amazing, but pretty good. Chicken curry roti was fresh and soft. The doubles were not oily and were very tasty. If it wasn't for the state of the restaurant itself I would give this place a better rating.

    Old school.

    To me, this place is A-OK, but alas, that's it. I really had a hankering for some jerk but it was crappy weather and Mitzie's was just a little too far to go. So I came to Yelp and this place seemed to have the highest ratings in the immediate vicinity. Since it was my first visit, I wanted to sample various menu items so I ordered a boneless chicken roti, a jerk chicken dinner with rice n' peas and a double. I also asked for extra hot sauce. All of this was to-go. The food was prepared and my wait was not long. The gentleman who served me was pleasant and conversational. The restaurant is extremely old school with affixed stools running all the way down a long bar. What appeared to be an early 90's episode of Jerry Springer played on the mounted television. It was about a woman who cheated on her girlfriend with a guy. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! My bag came and the three items came to $23. (The prices of most menu items just went up $1.00 and they haven't yet printed the new menus). It weighed about 8 pounds. When I got home, I was eager to try everything. My thoughts: The Jerk chicken was two full legs, broken down to the drums and thighs. They were served over the rice n' peas which had a light topping of brown gravy. There was also a garden salad in the corner simply drenched in what appeared to be ranch dressing. It was a pile of mush by the time I got home due to its proximity to the hot food. It went into the trash. The jerk was obviously oven roasted. It had no bark whatsoever. It almost seemed stewed to a degree. It was somewhat tasty with a nice hit of heat. It did, however, seem to have hints of East Indian flavours (I believe the owners are East, not West Indian). The hot sauce too had East Indian flavours, quite sweet and sour, not reminscent of Scotch Bonnet flavoured sauces I'm used to at other Caribbean spots. The roti was simply massive. Bigger than any other I have ever had. Perhaps twice the size of most places, BUT... The roti wrap itself was folded over on itself at least three times. There was so much of it. It was, however, supple and flavourful. The innards were less spicy and less flavourful than the jerk and was comprised mostly of potato. The double was my favourite of all the items. The chana within had a gentle curry flavour and was quite spicy. The bread was wonderfully chewy, a textural treat with the mushy garbanzos inside. On my way to Caribbean Queen, I noticed two other Caribbean establishments I have never seen before. Neither of them appeared in my prior Yelp search. When I looked them up on Yelp, they both were actually here but under "Imported Food"! Duh? That doesn't help when searching for a restaurant. Get your cuisine types right when adding businesses folks! Anyways, I've changed them both and hopefully they will now appear under restaurants. I look forward to trying these other two places in hopes that I will find a hidden gem closer to home than Mitzie's. I will not be back to Caribbean Queen. Not because it was bad but because there are many other options and I know there's better food out there.

    Did a lunch takeout and ordered the jerk chicken. A very ordinary roti with pieces of chicken and potatoes.

Honestly a lot of it I've never heard of before but that was the best part, discovering new good food! We had been told to try doubles while in Toronto so I had been on a search for it. Here it was.

Slightly spicy but so much flavor. The nice crispy puris and the Chana oozing out makes it messy but so worth it! You can also get meat fillings too , chicken and beef I believe.

I got the Curried Chickpeas and Potatoes; the scotch bonnet was so spicy that I'm sure I felt my face burning off... which is exactly how I like my spices. Seating isn't the greatest, but... that's what you get at this type of food market/setting. I'll definitely be back during my next trip to Toronto.

I opted for the brunch buffet so that I could sample a few dishes. Having my paternal side of the family from Jamaica had already exposed me to lot of Jamaican staples, so I find it a better route to try several menu items rather than a fixed menu. I had brown stew chicken, ackee, saltfish, rundown, callalou, plantains, and a little bit of a lot else. My water glass stayed full and used plates were removed as soon as I went for more food. This was one of the first times that a cultural restaurant in the heart of downtown had authenticity in the dishes. It became apparent when I passed the kitchen and heard patois. Not that patois was an indication of genuine flavor, given some cultural restaurants will compromise flavor for certain palates, but an elder speaking it is an elder who will serve you food as it should taste.

We tried a variety of dishes to varying degrees of enjoyment. Let's start with the good - we enjoyed the saltfish fritters, the Jamaican patties, the beef roti, and the fried bananas the most. They were balanced and very flavorful. The beef roti specifically looked like a giant burrito, but the beef within was so tender and well seasoned. We also really enjoyed the banana fritters which tasted like deep fried banana bread. As for the plates missing the mark - The jerk chicken was pretty tender but our two pieces were also pretty charred so we had to remove most of the skin where most of the rub would have been. Additionally, the goat curry and the oxtail were borderline inedible especially after we ran out of coleslaw which was its saving grace to making each bite palatable. It was so salty otherwise! There were also a lot of small bone fragments to work through on each dish. It wasn't necessarily that these dishes tasted bad but it was just impossible to enjoy due to the salt content. The staff at Simone's was very kind though. I could also tell that they made everything fresh and at order so I can appreciate the effort even though it didn't quite meet my expectations.

The roti itself is very soft yet holds up against the filling. Pretty good at deboning the goat meat for the roti though the owner usually warns that there could be bones still.

To compare the two, I ordered a spicy beef patty and tested them for flakiness, crispness, and filling. First off price wise. It was cheaper here at $2.70 including tax. I found that this beef patty here at Allwyn's was flaky enough but lacked the crispness of the outside dough. As well the filling was too moist or soggy and it was translucent which was off putting. Also, the patty was lukewarm and not piping hot. I came here to try one and then maybe go back in and pick up a dozen. But From the one patty I had. It didn't warrant a purchase of a dozen to take home for future enjoyment. I must say the patty was not bad. However I found it was not the best one I have had in Toronto. I will pick Islands Express Foods for a beef patty in future visits. Recommendations, I suggest you try for yourself as this is a personal preference but I'll stick to some other locations for my beef patty fix.

Jamaican Mule ($10.99). Ginger Beer, Gosling Black Rum. 2. Lily's Passion ($10.99). 2oz Captain Morgan, 2oz passion fruit, 1oz cranberry juice. 3. Peanut Punch ($5.00). 4. Plantain ($3.95). 5.

The Peanut Punch was in a drinking box from a Caribbean company called Grace. I've had it before. But the waitress suggested it be poured into a tall glass with ice; it was amazing - I highly recommend it! The Plantain appetizer was perfectly cooked and delicious. The Chicken Roti side dish was huge! It is twice as high as any Roti I've ever had before! The chicken inside was succulent. The Jerk Chicken & Oxtail Combo was amazing. You get two sides: we chose rice & peas and coleslaw, two quintessential sides for a Jamaican meal. I feared the Jerk Chicken would be too spicy, but the restaurant wanted to cater to many tastes, so it made it medium spicy (which I could handle). I was told you can add their Real Jerk Hot Sauce yourself or ask the cook to make it extra spicy during the cooking process. The Oxtail was tasty. We also ordered the Escovitch Fish, another popular Caribbean dish. The whole fish is fried, then marinated in a sauce of vinegar, spices, onions, carrots, and peppers. The taste was excellent, and the meat flakes off the bone easily. This dish also come with two sides: we chose coleslaw and steamed vegetables, which came in their own separate bowls. During this restaurant's grand opening, there will be entertainment starting at 15:00, with steel pan, limbo, prizes, and DJ. Starting at 22:00, there is a party. This location has an event space in the basement, which can hold up to 101 people. It can be used for old school parties, karaoke,  spoken word, etc. The parties are to appeal to the older clientele who frequented the Queen and Broadview and Gerrard locations. The Real Jerk started 38 years ago and has moved several times. The most famous location was at Queen and Broadview while they were there for 25 years. This location is owned by a husband and wife team: Cleigh and Natasha. Cleigh's father owns the location on Gerrard St, which became internationally famous due to a music video by Drake and Rihanna. There is a third location in London, England, owned by Cleigh's uncle. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not currently wheelchair accessible but there will be a ramp to overcome the one step at the entrance. There are separate male/female washrooms in the basement, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-142
