Seems they're…read morebusy at all hours of the day but they are so friendly and organized and no-one minded waiting for their order. Appreciate that the cashier whose phone kept ringing gave attention and priority to those waiting in person in line at the store and then tend to the customers placing orders through the phone. The place is so clean and well maintained. Saw a sign for their Sunday buffet for $21 to either take out as much as you can stuff in a portions container or to dine in for an hour off their limited special buffet menu (which included curries, veg, roti, and much more). Will have to try one day. Their food is always great! Goat curry was delicious and the doubles never disappoint!

One of my orders I ordered a large fried chicken and stated I wanted curry gravy lol the gravy wasn't even on the side or anything. This was absolutely bad. lol not to mention we sat down to eat and was told it's only for dining. Mind you no one told us we couldn't dine or asked us if it was to go before we sat down. Would never recommend this place.

The serving was so conservative that it barely felt like a complete meal, especially for the price. I was left dissatisfied and still hungry. It's hard to recommend when you get so little for your money.

With guests visiting from out of town, plus a belated birthday celebration, the stars finally aligned. The centerpieces of our feast were Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion and Dungeness Crab with Ginger and Green Onion. These dishes were a tremendous deal at CDN$34.95 for two crabs and two lobsters. They tasted great! Other seafood dishes included Sweet and Sour Fish, and Pepper Shrimps, with the Cantonese Chow Mein having some seafood. We also had their Honey Garlic Wings, and Alex Chicken with Fried Rice. Beverages included Mango Juice, Shirley Temple, and pop. Everybody really enjoyed the food and my uncle is already planning his next visit, with a group of his friends.

One of my friends had been here before and recommended that we give Guyanese Chinese cuisine a try. I was game! I had no problem finding the eatery. It's in a small plaza with Grillies next door. I actually parked in front of Grillies and walked over to Caribbean Heat. The eatery was busy for a Sunday afternoon. It was a good sign. My friends and I ordered a ton of food, to the point where we had to get boxes to take home the damage that we had done... haha! We ordered these items: - Beef short ribs - Special chicken fried rice - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice - Goat curry with roti - Crabs in spicy garlic sauce - Cantonese chow mein - BBQ duck (half) - Pepper shrimp - Mixed vegetables - Hot and sour soup - Seafood soup - Sweet and sour basa - Lobster with ginger and green onion This eatery has a number of specials. We took advantage of most, except for the wings. The specials: - Pepper Shrimp - $8.99 for 15 pieces - Half-priced chicken Wings - Bucket of five beers for $29.99 - Two lobster or crabs for $34.95 - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice (lunch special) - $12.95 before tax Alex chicken is the chef's special. I don't know who Alex is. However, the dish consists of boneless chicken that's stir-fried with lots of onions and spices. It does have a bit of heat to make it a wonderful dish. The veggie fried rice that accompanied the chicken was delicious, too. I loved everything that we ate and will note some highlights: - The sweet and sour basa was excellent. The fish was flaky and boneless, and the flavours were perfect. - The lobster with ginger and green onion was fantastic. One friend was allergic to shellfish, but risked it because this dish was so good. I'm guessing that he has a mild allergy because he's fine. - The goat curry was excellent. Not gamey. Tender. It came with roti on the side that I enjoyed sopping up the sauce with it. - The BBQ duck was yummy. I haven't had duck in a long time. It was tender and I loved the skin. - The pepper shrimp were gigantic! I loved how tasty this dish was. It had lots of green bell peppers and onions that I enjoyed with the shell-on shrimp. I used the washroom a couple of times during our three-hour stay. It was clean. No complaints! We had a terrific time chatting, enjoying one another's company, and feasting on a bunch of scrumptious dishes. The menu had fried banga Mary as an appetizer. I'd like to try this dish that shares my first name. I'll be back for more when I'm in the area. (172)

Although not the traditional way to eat jerk chicken and roti chicken because it comes with random…read more fix-ins such as cheese, tomatoes, corn and others, I really enjoy Scotty Bons' menu! Large portions and flavourful add ons. I love to add the chutney, scotty pickle and creamy sauces. Only downside is I would prefer if they used bone in chicken for the jerk items. I've also tried the chicken roti. The filling, sauce, chickpeas and potatoes are delish but the roti bread itself could be lighter and softer. A few times I've ordered the roti felt more like a thin pita instead of a roti. Parking at the Markham location can be difficult as it is off the main road (Hwy 7) which is busy at all hours of the day so there's no avoiding that and there are only so many spaces.

Reviewing this for takeout specifically as I was visiting from out of town:…read more The food was jam packed into the pie tray with plenty of rice, veggies, and meat. Each item seemed to complement each other and had you wanting to take one bite after the other. The chicken was very soft and flavorful, the rice had a nice texture and you could tell it was made in flavorful spices, and the veggies were nice and creamy. The tropical hot sauce was the icing on the cake, or in this case, the bowl. I wish I ordered a spicier sauce because the medium felt more like a step up from mild but not quite medium. My one complaint regarding this is that because they are served in pie trays with plastic covers, there's no real way of hearing this back up unless you have plates. So be aware of this if you're ordering this for delivery at a hotel and be sure to ask your hotel for plates. All in all a great experience and would eat it again if I come back to Toronto.

I normally don't eat goat, but I live too far away to exchange it, so I gave it a try. The meat was pretty tough and lacked flavour. The jerk chicken wings were also extremely salty and difficult to finish. With how rich and salty everything was, I think coleslaw or something fresh would have helped balance the meal. Instead, it came with vegetables. The rice and peas were okay. Overall, I couldn't finish most of the food. Getting the wrong order was disappointing, and the seasoning and texture made the experience worse.
