!!! HIDDEN GEM ALERT !!!…read more This meal from Roti Vybz was a VYBEEEEEE ohh man was craving some Caribbean food yesterday and this place hit the spot. Pictured here is their jerk chicken on island fry rice except I got half jerk chicken and half oxtail because you know yaaaa girl gotta try that oxtail at any Caribbean place she go ;) I honestly wasn't sure if they'd do it because I ordered through a food ordering app and put it in the special requests section BUT they came through for me !!! The jerk chicken had that perfect char and tasted super flavourful, I just wish there was a bit more of a kick to it! Nothing a little hot sauce on the side can't fix. The oxtail was just as flavourful and juicy, again just a bit more spice would've been nice lol! I am still SO glad I decided to do half and half, will definitely get a full serving of both meats next time! I also have never tried Caribbean fried rice before and I'm glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be hitting them up again to try the rest of the menu including their rotis as well as a jerk chicken pasta that they offer !!! I was a bit apprehensive trying them for the first time but now that they won me over I'm sure the rest of their menu is just as bomb as this meal was :) The quantity was SO amazing too like literally you can't even see the fried rice underneath because of the amount of meat lolol my kinda place for sure ;) They're located in Streetsville I believe and are available on food ordering apps such as well as pickup/takeout so what are you waiting for ?! Pickup or delivery they got you, check them out y'all :)

This is my first time eating from Roti Vybz…read more My go-to for jerk chicken is Chris Jerk in Scarborough, so that's my benchmark when I try a new place. They are apparently open till late at night, but by the time I got there at 5.45pm, they were out of most items, so the only thing I can review is their Jerk Chicken Dinner. I ordered a "large", which portion-wise, is akin to a regular for most other jerk places I've tried. In that sense, they were more expensive by a good $4-5 on average. For that reason, I score them a 3* for portion size & value-4-money. Taste-wise, I'd score them a 4*. The jerk flavour was complex, the chicken was well marinated, and the sauce wasn't overly salty - all pluses in my book. What took away points for me here was the rice & peas. The rice was bland, almost tasteless on its own. The flavour comes solely from the jerk sauce over it. The peas were the smallest peas I have come across at any jerk place - very small peas, smaller even than peanuts The macaroni side I didn't like at all. Neither did I like the so-called hot sauce, which was not at all hot. I had expected it to have some heat. Disappointing. But perhaps the most disappointing thing was the jerk chicken was Nowhere near hot, not even warm. A jerk chicken dinner should be a hot meal, and it wasn't. Will I try it again? - Yes, I will give it one more shot, at lunch time, and see if it tastes better when freshly cooked. And next time I will try the curry goat, too.

Really kind lady who also gave it to us. They take COVID seriously and you have to call when you're at the door (which is locked) for them to hand it to you. The wait which was about 20 minutes was worth it. Definitely would support this and come back here again!

I went for the classic beef patty, handed to me piping hot in a paper bag. The moment I bit in, I understood why this place has stayed popular for so long. The crust was delightfully light and flaky, and the beef filling was spicy and bursting with savoury goodness, making each mouthful a memorable experience. Beyond patties, there's a small menu of Jamaican classics like oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, and roti, making this spot a go-to for Caribbean soul food. The dining area is small, so expect to get takeout. After tasting this amazing patty, I'd happily return if I'm in the area and craving a quick, hearty bite.

Do you like carbs? Do you like to listen to a television blaring soap operas? Then you will enjoy…read moreThe Orange Snail! Located in the basement of Stong College at York University the Orange Snail is an independently owned restaurant / pub. The owners are a Caribbean husband and wife and they serve Caribbean food, but they are best known for their lunch "buffet". The buffet (which is not all you can eat) is pretty cheap (around $6) Your food is given to you by a server - they will give you a HUGE amount of carbs - usually either plain rice or pasta - I'm talking two or three cups of rice, and then a smaller amount of protein (whatever they've made that day) quality ranges from pretty mediocre to quite good, but it's pretty much luck of the draw as to what they decided to make that day. You also get a separate plate or container for salad which you can help yourself - the salad is quite plain though about 95 % lettuce or you can take coleslaw or cheap pasta salad. It's very evident that the snail tries to keep it's food costs down to a bare minimum and offer a large amount of (cheap) food for a low price. If you don't opt for the buffet (or arrive after lunch hour) you can order from the menu. They do have several vegetarian options as well. I've found that service is extremely slow so it's normal to wait 15 minutes or sometimes much longer to get an order. The owners are usually quite friendly and chatty, but I think overall the food is medicocre and the service is slow. On one hand I'm happy that there are still some places on campus that are independently owned (not owned by evil Amark) but I wish the owners of the Snail would do something better with the place. Oh during the day they ALWAYS have soap operas blasting on the televsion. I'm pretty sure at a university not too many of the students or staff are really interested in the latest developments of The Young and The Restless so I would pretty much never dine in for that reason.

They have quite a few options your standard Asian options general Tao chicken, lemon chicken, mussels, Chow mein, Shanghai noodles but they also have a carving station where you can get prime rib the prime rib I would say is served medium if you like your meat any less cook you won't be able to get it like that. They also had a station with pizza it didn't look too appetizing if I'm going to be honest. And then of course lots of dessert and ice cream however there is no sugar-free option and the dessert. I did find that we're all the food was okay typically it was either under seasoned or salty and I get it when you're cooking for a lot of people you tend to put a less salt and pepper so that people can add as they need. The staff were super friendly and nice both the serving staff as well as the management they always wanted to make sure that you were okay and they came around and cleaned the plates very timely
