    Lola loves toonie Tuesday
    Mark S.

    If its Tuesday, and you're on Eglinton West... YOU MUST DROP IN! Mainsha has a local reputation for one of the best "toonie Tuesday" specials in the City! Come with patience as the place is usually packed, and the service can sometimes be slow - but leave with a few orders... One is never enough for me! $2.50 gets you a nice big piece of chicken, rice and peas and a small side of coleslaw. I also suggest getting a fresh juice as well! Bootlegged albums and movies can also be purchased from some creative street vendors outside lol

    I had better jerk chickens before but I just love the toony Tuesday deal where you get a nice meal for $2.5 There is some line up and about 20 minutes wait but it's worth it.

It has that Smokey jerk chicken flavour that you can only get in Jamaica. Their jerk chicken is fresh, never behind a glass to be heated. First your get your rice (if you're going for the convo) and then you go outside and the chef puts either Jerk Chicken or Jerk Pork into your plate. You can get a small for $11 or medium for $18. You can also just get meat only for $12 (small), large was maybe $20. The hours are odd though. 8:30pm-2:30am so you might not be a person that eats that late, but if you do, perfect spot! There are a couple of seats in here, but it's mainly for takeout. Cool staff as well.

    The girl (girl1) who helped my brother told us it was $18 for a large jerk chicken. She said it's…read morethe same price if you get it with rice& coleslaw or without because they will adjust the chicken portion appropriately. When it was time for me to order a different girl (girl2) helped me. I accidentally told her small jerk chicken then after I changed it to a large. girl2 gave me the dirtiest look, and girl1 told her to just change it for me. When it was time to pay girl2 said it's $18 then quickly changed her mind and said $19. I handed her $20 and then girl2 asked girl1 for $1 change. Girl1 questioned the $1 change because normally they would give $2 change for a large jerk chicken. I did not say anything as she was already giving attitude and her face was not having it. It was also not my turf. Girl 2 basically changed the price for my jerk chicken based on her mood. Terrible service from girl2. Not impressed... Food is good but unfortunately her service brought down the rating.

So some web searches found Sheryl's - located on Eglinton Weat near Dufferin. A higher power encouraged me to go in, but making it pour rain right as I was getting in. Immediately I could smell the Carribean spices. Mmm mmm mmm! I ordered by curry goat roti, wish coleslaw and Diet Coke. While I was waiting I spotted their authentic Carribean breakfast menu and I knew this was a good place! Now I need to figure out how to get there for breakfast. Anyways on to the to the goat roti. It's bone-in but there was very little bone in mine. My diabetes was thankful that there was no potato filler in it. But the taste. Yummy. The flavour built for the first few bites, to a crescendo of greatness. I should also mention that the roti shell was a dhalpuri roti. I'm not used to Jamaican places offering a superior roti shell. Overall this is an 8/10. Cost was $24. I will repeat.

    This food is GAS! Got their BBQ fry and it was amazing,…read moreit's fried chicken dipped in their special BBQ sauce. I wish I also got their breakfast Ackee and Saltfish, it looked appetizing. There is also about 12 seats + 5 bar stool seats. Street Green P parking . I would say this is probably one of the better spots on the strip for BBQ Fried chicken. Real friendly staff and community, I went on Jan 2 and everyone was greeting each other wishing everyone a good happy new year and the server had manners (not always the case at Jamaican restaurants) Great ambiance with lots of natural light coming in. I'd highly recommend.

    Been wanting to try Randy's Jamaican Patties for a long time, and it finally happened. High…read moreexpectations met and exceeded! The space is super clean and welcoming with a solid variety of menu options. I went for a half dozen beef patties, served piping hot and incredibly fresh. The flaky crust and flavorful, saucy beef filling deliver that authentic Jamaican punch. Definitely not skimpy or dry. If you're in the GTA area, grab some. Awesome value for a satisfying bite that doesn't disappoint.

    So Randy's is located at Eglinton and Oakwood in Toronto across the street from the subway station…read more A combination of Google searches of "Caribbean food near me" and a desire to try out the new subway led me here on an office lunch. This is a small hole in the wall establishment -- it is a quick service, take out place only. It will never win an award for a beautiful interior design. You walk up to the cash register and a lovely lady with a sunny disposition will take your order and give you a ticket. In my case it was 2 Beef Patties and a Diet Coke for under $11. A few minutes later, my connection came out of the back room. Order 46! And he handed me a brown paper baggy with my goods in it. I took off like a bandit. My original plan was to bring the patties back to the office. But just like war, no plan survives an encounter with Patty time! I ate one on the subway and the other in the food court of my office. So these were fresh patties with fine layers of flaky crusty goodness. The beef was fresh and more plentiful than those frozen patties at the grocery store. There was some spice, but definitely mild. Overall, I'd score it a 78/100. Or 4 out of 5 stars. Remember I'm comparing this for what it is. It not haute cuisine, but if you want a Patty, Randy will be your King.

    The once humble Jamaican Patty has become so popular, it's now a staple of Toronto cuisine, with…read moreseveral bakeries throughout the city. Kingston 12 Patty Shop, located in Little Jamaica on Eglinton West, opened in October 2023, is one of the newer players. Their patties, in my opinion, are excellent! In addition to the traditional beef filling, they also offer chicken, ackee & saltfish, vegetable, beef and cheese, and more. On this visit, I bought a mixed dozen of their beef, chicken, and vegetable patties, as well as an ackee & saltfish one. They were all good, with a decent amount of filling and a nice light flaky crust that was embossed with their logo. Nice touch! If patties aren't enough for you, they also have more substantial food, such as drum chicken, curry goat, oxtail, ackee, and more. I'll have to try some of this next time. I happen to be personal friends with several of the bakery owners that make patties in Toronto and I actually worked at one of them. In my opinion, Kingston 12 is one of the top five in Toronto. Check them out!

Told her I heard they had the best patties in the city she responded with "Oh you have never been here before? Why not?" I laughed she laughed I blamed it on my Jamaican friends for never bringing me... She then abruptly walked to the back grabbed me a Pattie and said "here on the house you tell me" Come on who still has this much passion and love for new customers anymore? It was amazing thank you. As for the Patty well I'm no expert but it was fucking delicious and in my mind lived up to the hype 100%, it was a mild Patty with a hint of spice but full of flavour and I ordered 6 more. Next time I have to try the jerk chicken and goat curry!!
