Royal Caribbean Cafe

I’ve been going to this place for more than a decade. It’s always been great. The shrimp roti is the BEST! The jerk chicken is amazing and the goat is as well. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere has improved significantly a few years ago…

ROTI FOREVER.
I tried one of their vegetarian options. Mine had veggies and curry sauce and it was amazing! Good portion size for two, although next time I am ordering 1 for myself… hehe. This was my first time trying roti so I have nothing to compare it to but I really loved the flavour/​spice level. It’s on the spicer side. 100% going to go back!

Everything was tasty from start to finish. Codfish fritter appetizers were a bit oily, but very crispy. Oxtail fell off the bone; curried, fried and jerk chicken, as well as the accompanying salad, were all hits. I felt satisfied at the end of the meal, not weighed down as is sometimes typical with West Indian fare. Will definitely dine here again!

For what it’s worth, the food here is good. I had the curry goat and it tasted like home. However, the reason for my low rating was due to a bad customer service experience. I arrived about an hour before closing time and was told that because it’s so close to closing I would have to order my food to go. I was starving, and craving curry goat in particular, so I said fine. Once I got it, it was about 40 minutes to closing and I said that I would just like to eat my meal from my to go box sitting at their bar (so as not to disrupt any of the place settings or anything). I assured them I would be finished and out of there well before closing time. However, the girl who served me told me no I couldn’t do this because they were closing early tonight. I asked why and she said «nobody is here so nothing is really happening.». I told her «I am here. I am happening. I am a paying customer for my food». She said «umm.yes but still, we’ve all decided we are closing up early.» I asked her if she realized what poor customer service that is. She then gleefully informed me that there was a sign on the door that said no dining within an hour of closing, so «she wins». I just gathered my things and left. Upon leaving, I checked the door and whaddya know? No such sign. I was left with a rather poor taste in my mouth, and it wasn’t the food. For a restaurant manager to tell me as a paying customer that they are closing early because «nobody is there» implies that I am a nobody and that they do not value my business. If I wasn’t starving, I would have left immediately. Poor customer service is enough to ruin a business. I definitely would not go back, and would encourage anyone I know to find another Jamaican restaurant to frequent.

While visiting Toronto, my boyfriend and I tried a lot of different restaurants. This one was the best by far. Honestly, one of the best meals we’ve ever had! At an extremely reasonable price, no less.
We ordered the Jamaican Codfish fritters to start. WOW! Was extremely interesting, and VERY tasty. Highly recommend, even if you don’t like fish (which I don’t, really. I was trying to be adventurous and it paid off!)
I had the Ox Tail for my dinner, and my boyfriend ordered the jerk chicken. So much flavor, and really worth trying. I’ve never had anything like it. Service was great, and the atmosphere is cozy and beautifully simple. I can’t rave about this place enough!

Heard awesome things about the jerk chicken and ox tail so we decided to try it out. The décor brings me back to the south America’s. White wood chairs and comfy cushions along the benches against the walls. Service was extremely pleasant and timely.
We were a party of 5 and decided got to order split a variety of dishes which includes their jerk chicken, ox tail, fried chicken, chicken roti, chicken and shrimp platter. On the side we ordered rice and bean and pasta. My favorite dish has to be their oxtail and I have no problem recommending it for oxtail lovers. I would have to say their jerk chicken was my second favorite dish. The spice was good on chicken and roti but I find the fried chicken to be a little dry and the roti was lacking some sauce.
Anyhow, the oxtail and service that royal Caribbean offers is worth a try for anyone that loves jerk chicken.

AWESOME FOOD, AWESOME SERVICE! The chef will even come out and talk to u and ask u how the food was. The curry goat, oxtail, stew chicken or the roti, either way? ure good!!! U can even get an oxtail & chicken combo for the price of a large oxtail dish!!! Sooooooooo Good (russell peters asian people voice) tell em i sent u ;)

This place is the best they have an amazing Rice with Fried chicken and salad I totally recommend this place to anyone. It’s really worth it

Had take out, Good service, Good curry goat and stew ox tail. Roti skins (dhalpuri) can be ordered separately for about CAD4 plus tax. Might be spicy for the North American palette but will be warm and tasty for the caribbean and more worldly tongues.

Wow! Love it!
So happy to find this place. The décor is beautiful, the food was yummy (we both ordered the oxtail — it could have been spicier, but great hot sauce was available), the rum punch knocked my socks off, and the service was AWESOME! So nice to have a smiling, helpful server. I’ll definitely be back — and often!

I can hardly wait to go back!!!
I ordered take out… Ackee and salt fish, royal Caribbean fish, and escovitch fish. All the dishes came with provisions and steamed vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, and carrots). The provisions were boiled well and there was no grease in any of the meals. The flavour was fabulous and there was hardly any salt, if any at all. The RCF had hot pepper and onions over top of a massive red snapper. The EF had hot peppers, okra and onions over top. After we were done the meal, I called the restaurant to offer my compliments to the chef as the food was AMAZING!!! As for the restaurant environment, the tables and chairs are white, there is a beautiful mirror with lovely carved wooden frame. Peach and blue highlights add to the feeling of an authentic Caribbean restaurant. If you like flavorful foods and large portions you should go to this restaurant!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
This place is amazing and serves real authentic Jamaican food.
I ordered the Royal Caribbean Fish $ 15 (have a side choice of rice, veggies, festival, provision) It was a red snapper fish and I got it with provision.
WOW, the portion was huge! Fish was beautifully seasoned with a nice gravy that had onions, tomato and okra in it. The minute I tasted it, it took me back to this one eatery in Montego Bay that I love.
There was also mixed veggies of cabbage, carrots, and broccoli
Everything was outstanding.
Service was very warm, the place is literally SPOTLESS. My cutlery was shining no joke. Bathrooms were great as well.
During my stay there was a steady flow of pple ordering takeout and dining in.
Coming back 100%

Horrible!!! My girlfriend ordered a jerk chicken salad and it took 30 minutes to get to the table and when it did, the chicken was raw in the middle? She asked for it to be taken back and said she would just like some salad… so they took the chicken off and gave her the same salad??? Are they trying to kill people??? When she told the woman that it was the same salad she smirked and just said okay??? Not cool at all… Eat there at your own risk?

When you want great Caribbean food with good ambiance, this is definitely the place for you. With their shell and salmon-​coloured décor, the food was as pleasing as the physical space. I recommend the stewed oxtails; very tasty. The house red wine, generously poured, was fantastic as well!
