Caribbean Taste

It was just ok. I came here a couple of times and the food was not fresh to me.

The food, service and value of this place is amazing! Real food, that’s incredibly reasonable. Thank you!

As I venture out in the frigid cold in search of the little mom and pop (plus kids) food joints in the area, several coworkers mentioned this spot
$ 5 gets you a chicken lunch (choose your chicken style) with coleslaw, peas and rice and big smiles
At these prices happy diners stumble in for warmth and fine island tunes on the stereo and it is warm in here
Yes the family cooks here…
They offer patties, roti and a daily soup but most lune up politely for the lunch special
They make a delicious plantain side so squirting on some hot sauce will delight your lips and tongue
Enjoy the sunny island lifestyle during lunch and that mound of paperwork at the office will be forgotten as you tuck in
Oh easy on the hot sauce… they laugh when you ask how many scotch bonnet peppers are used? Is a secret Mon! !!

I work at Postmedia and come here at least twice a week! The jerk chicken is always really flavourful and you can’t go wrong with the lunch special ($ 5.00 gets you 2 – 3 pieces of chicken, loads of rice, and a salad or coleslaw — of if you’re going low carb like me, you can request the chicken with only salad). I would recommend giving this place a try before going to one of the chains nearby (McD’s, Druxy’s, Subway…).
This place is in Greenwin Mall right next to Druxy’s (*there’s no sign on the restaurant at this time). Just follow your nose, you’ll find it!

Food was cold and portions was average, however the lunch special was decent. I would definitely recommend going to Ritz if you are in the area. Its only 3 blocks west from Sherbourne

recently added LUNCH SPECIALS (almost 6 bucks w tax), which is good, except… portions are small, rice is still not ‘decent’ compared to almost all other Carribean spots. Not a friendly or nice vibe at all. Tried it twice, think i’ve officially given up…

As the only West Indian restaurant located on Bloor Street East, this new Caribbean Taste location (the original one is located at 224 Adelaide Street West) is a much welcomed restaurant at the Greenwin Square Shopping Center where McDonalds has held a monopoly for years. The food is great and I prefer the jerk chicken from this location over the jerk cooked at Mr. Jerk on Wellesley. When it first opened, prices were ridiculously high, however owner has listened to advice of patrons and now offers two lunch specials, one at $ 5, the other at $ 8. Unlike other West Indian restaurants in the city, this location offers alternatives to rice such as stir fry Vietnamese vermicelli, which I do like as rice tends to bloat me at times. With a wide variety of menu deals (have to try the «Jerk Poutine,» and «Jerk Wrap,») I just love the fact that I now have a choice for a quick bite to eat instead of McDonalds, Swiss Chalet or Subway.

Once you go east of Church on Bloor, there are very limited options for food, but I am glad this place opened up near the McDonald’s (same mall). They have $ 5 lunch specials for all their chicken dishes and includes rice and salad.
Everything was quite tasty, however compared to other Caribbean places in the area, I found the portion slightly smaller than other places, even compared to other specials.
Regardless, if you work in the area and don’t want to deal with the hustle and bustle of Yong street, this place is solid.
