Aunt Elsie’s Carribean Kitchen

I have to thank fellow Unilocalers for this one. A very unassuming store front in a Scarborough strip mall, with delicious take out.
I ordered the goat curry and my husband had the king fish dinner. The Small portion was more then enough for 1, leaving me wondering just how big Large must be. Food was made to order, full of flavour and they don’t skimp on the meat.
Keep in mind this is not a sit down restaurant, but rather a grocery style store, take away only.
The woman behind the counter was very engaging and helped us with the order process because we were clueless. She suggested we try the cod fritters and I’m so glad we did, yum!

Do not just ignore and underestimate sketchy-​looking strip malls. Hidden gems lie within these environment! NO WORD OF A LIE.
Aunt Elsie’s is a grocer and take-​out place selling awesome, delicious food, baked goods, drinks, frozen fish, canned goods and other bric-​à-​brac paraphernalia from the Caribbean.
My girl who works across the street at Ze Khub told me about this place. We went here together and she ordered dumplings, and my… you can ask them to put oxtail gravy on that shit! OMG. She also had their patty and cocobread. In zis case, I opted out for a small jerk chicken dinner…
The dumplings were so fluffy and almost crispy in the outside, its not that salty and goes great when you soak it with the oxtail gravy, YUM.
The jerk chicken, look at the pic I posted. That’s a SMALL dinner. SMALL. It came with a piece of plantain too and rice and peas. The chicken was moist and tasted great. I just wish it was a little bit more spicy and that I ordered it with oxtail gravy in the rice. But overall, it was very satisfying and I would love to buy food from this place again.

Awesome old school Scarborough joint! Love the new microwaveable to go containers, you can tell they are considerate of their customers needs. You take out, bring it home and then heat it up!

OUTSTANDING food
this location is like a market food ordering store.
I tried the fish dinner and was shocked, one of the best fish dinner I have ever had.
