3078 Mayfield Rd Unit# 17, Brampton, ON L6Z 0E3, Canada
I have to write a review because i’m honestly appreciative and relieved that i actually found a Caribbean spot that’s good. Most time these place are stingy, stale and nasty but man!!! DONS IS DELICIOUS. Portions are amazing , taste is amazing, they listen to instructions very well, honestly wish i could tip everyone. I have to give this place its 10ssss. Will be ordering again later this week lol .
Best Jerk Chicken in Peel Region, hands down. Ive tried them all, trust me. Jerk is a perfect blend of flavour and heat. Its moist and not dry. The rice is packed with flavour and is drenched in sauce. To the owners… keep doing what you’re doing!
I’m currently sick and I ordered two soups and a family meal through Uber. The restaurant called me to say they have no more soup left and to either pick something else or cancel the order. I told the guy that I’m sick and only wanted the soup. The family pack was for the children. In addition, I cannot cancel the order. I’ve been through that before. Uber still charges me for the full order, and refuses to refund even though I didn’t receive anything. He then gave the phone to a lady who I again told that she has to cancel on her end. I cannot cancel because I’ll still be charged. She was quiet for a bit then starts cussing in the background. Saying “I can’t deal with this woman on the phone, somebody come deal with this’ and complaining about being confused with the uber platform. They left me on the phone for a minute while she cussed then it was quiet then they hung up on me. While I was contacting Uber support they cancelled the meal. My issue is the unprofessionalism. I don’t work or run Uber. I understand she’s frustrated with the system but I am the customer on the phone who you not only gave incorrect advice to, but then are cussing about while I’m literally sitting on the phone. I order from Dons all the time. Almost weekly, especially since I’ve been sick these last few months. I’m unimpressed. I tried called the main number to speak to the owner or a manager but they didn’t answer. I honestly have a bad taste in my mouth after this experience. That was disgusting behaviour. I won’t order from them again so they will not be inconvenienced.
If I could give 10 stars 🌟 This is soul food that is truly made with love! I ordered macaroni pie by itself, chicken curry roti. Portion sizes were very generous, and packaging was done with care. The staff, specifically the manager, is true Gem! Super nice. Do yourself a favor & add this place on your to-do list 😁
First I wanna say the customer service was amazing!! Now, two days ago I ordered a fried chicken with rice and peas. I usually get this cause it’s the only good thing on the menu but boy oh boy was I disappointed. Two bites into the chicken I was convinced they bites the chicken and drop it in the oil after. The inside of the chicken was mushy and soft and I couldn’t even finish the food. They serve good portions but the quality of the food is nasty, the food used to be really good here but the quality goes down everytime I go!
Today I ordered a large fried chicken with rice and peas. I ended up recieving a large fried chicken with rice with the occasional pea. Signs of the times I guess, where we have to stretch the ingredients. With the way they're tryna stretch ingredients they must've had the craziest rice to pea ratio—and I feel bad, I genuinely do—because I'd bet there was a grand total of 8 peas in that pot today, and I got 4 of the 8 in my plate. To anyone who ordered rice and peas after me, I'm sorry because I got half the pot of peas. Lmaoo all jokes aside, this is why my people's resturants don't last. Consistency is key. Different cooks do different things and if they're not writing down measurements for ingredients and properly scaling up or down the ratios according to the amount of food being prepared you will end up with inconsistent bland, under seasoned food. This is hugely dissapointing considering that I used to order from these guys on a near weekly basis at one point. Nothing good lasts forever I suppose.
Horrible macaroni pie which they call Mac and cheese. Tastes and looks like it was from yesterday. 2 scoop of Ackee and Saltfish came in a big container. Very very disappointed in the taste and portion size, will not be ordering again.
Some of the best Caribbean food I have had in a long time. It's so hard to find food that is authentic like this in Charlotte Nc. So glad I made it gotten. If you have never tried it, you must. You will not be disappointed. I got the jerk chicken lunch special, beef patty and an order of oxtail for later. I had no microwave in my hotel and still ate the oxtail and rice cold, still delicious! When you can eat food cold and it still taste good, that's some good food!
Very tasty
Fried chicken, rice n peas with oxtail gravy is bomb. Chicken soup is very tasty with lots of provision. I highly recommend Dons.
Bad service. Staff didnot listen to drivers
A little spot of heaven and staff are amazing and super friendly
Had TO WRITE another positive review. Because I simply cannot say enough positive things about this spot. The delivery service from any service skip, door dash Uber etc. Is ON point. Everything is wrapped up in one bag neatly. The jerk is favourfull, rice soft. Plantin is sweet with a bit of char. The patties are soft and nice and they DO NOT mess up on any request that you give them. BEST JERK SPOT on the westside of Brampton!!! I am a local reviewer at a level 6 I dont mess around with Carribean food.
Average Jerk Chicken + Rice and peas.
Their jerk chicken has always been a miss for me. I went in for take out today at 2:45 pm and was once again thoroughly disappointed as the server told me the chicken was fresh. It was hard, old and dry. I hate throwing away my money
Rude Staff
The best jerk I ever tasted & patties. You should be a vendor at Jerk Fest! Always delicious food, if i had to pick where to get jerk from it d always be here! Food
My mother just came out the hospital today she s ask that oxtail be her first real meal after 2 months of being in the hospital sick like dog and can you believe you all had the nerve to send large rice with gravy alone with coleslaw I will never order again y all like to really like to play with ppl money
The lovely young lady at the counter was so friendly and relatable. Very respectful tful and helpful. Ill go back just to interact with her. Very good customer service.
The best, you guys deserve to be a spotlight vendor at jerk fest. Always delicious jerk and rice!! The patties are unbeatable Food
Great jerk chicken.
So aggressive and rude behaviour with customer taking so so long time for take ordering from customer not solve the Issue
You can only tolerate the attitude from a Jamaican restaurant if the food is A1 and this place is not it. Either cool down the attitude or make better food. Its a no for me *Simon voice*
Food is good but be aware that lunch specials only on weekdays. Sign only shows from 11-2pm.
Wait time too long
So disappointing! They cheap out the ackee and saltfish and put a LARGE in a small container and charge the same price. Always missing items in my order. When they first opened the food was so good. I wonder who pissed off the chef, because the food is never consistent. Spend your hard earned money on another Jamaican establishment.
Got the Jerk chicken on the recommend of the lovely woman at counter. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend and will be back!
The first couple of times I bought their food was good but i have been making some orders recently that always turned out to be rubbish! The fried chicken tasted old and stale, the rice and peas was dry without flavour My kid food fries and chicken was horrible I guess this will make me to cook even when am really tired after work . Waste of my money
Don t usually write reviews but wow by far the best jerk chicken I ve had. Didn t even need a knife and almost forgot to chew lol
I come here almost every weekend unfailingly to get the Family pack and the staff are all wonderful and friendly. The food is amazing and tastes even better each time i get it. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Don Carribean Restaurant on Mayfield at Hurontario does not care about their customers. Their food is never fresh, their soup is lumpy and is two weeks old, and they don t even want to take the time to serve you properly. You will enter the store ring the bell five times and they still won t come to the front even when there s a lineup. very disappointed in Don s Caribbean restaurant. I wish you would do a lot better. I bet they ll just look at this review and think oh it s a one off. Guess what, it s not a one off this happens every single time I go there for the last 10 years and I don t plan to go there again.
One of the best jamaican spots in brampton.. always my first choice
I have been going to Dons since the restaurant has opened. I supported them. They made great food in the past years. They have hired staff that look unhappy. The food has gone down in quality extremely. I bought oxtail a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and both times I said no gravy. They put lots of gravy and it was soggy with very little meat again, it was great when Don and his wife were in control
This location is trash, they always forget my drink then the chicken is never cooked i do not recommend.
Ordered the Rasta pasta with shrimp and fried chicken , with 1/2 lb of fried chicken. The food took a while to come out. The chicken was good but the pasta was okay. The menu is unclear as to what items come with rice or other sides. Make sure to double check your order.
Delicious porridge and breakfast I got ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings, plantain and porridge, I enjoyed it but my problem is that I spen $52 for every thing plus delivery, I ordered large breakfast for me and my friend and the Ackee was so small my goodness I couldn t get any , so if the large was so small I wonder what the small looks like . The quantity was not worth the price at all ! I should ve taken a picture y all would gasp when u saw how small the food was and they say that s a large I was shocked
Tried the jerk chicken and rice with gravy with a side of macaroni and coleslaw. Jerk chicken and rice aren t bad, it s not the best but it gets the job done. The macaroni was okay but coleslaw was really watery and too sweet for my liking. Service was very friendly!
Orders on door dash and they have a special that included pop and a salad for 7.99. However when I got there they didn t want to honour my order. They want to give me 1/2 pound of chicken when I ordered based on the description and their price in the app. Clearly they made a mistake why not try and fix it. Our own people don t know how to keep customers. McDonald s or the pizza places would have fixed that instantly.
Neighborhood jerk chicken spot. Its very good. Love their lunch special and family pack. I wish they offered a larger size for the jerk chicken/rice & peas. More of a takeout spot. Highly recommend.
Dont come here please
This restaurant serves raw chicken to its clients. Absolutely disgusting.
Quality and quantity of food has gone down only price has gone up . Used to be a good place to eat...
Dons come here dehhhh. Please me a beg ooooooooo. Duhhhhh spend time and make the porridge them with love. I m not sure why this look like oatmeal. Come on man
This is a hidden gem. I have driven by this restaurant countless times and went in for the first time yesterday. The beef soup and patty were one of the best I have had. The food is reasonably priced as well.
awesome oxtail The owner (DON) is amazing and cooks the food himself 70% of the time hustle is real
Whatever you do, do not buy the beef soup. I bought 6 soups in the same day, 3 at 2pm and 3 at 4pm. The later batch was sour and rotten. Stink up my house. Manager was very rude to me wouldnt even here me out saying it was my fault and wouldnt even give a refund for the 3 I opened. I used to buy food here all the time. They have lost my business and will tell everyone I know not to buy from there.
The food is consistently good.
Staff was friendly and efficient
great little spot in the north end of the city . very tasty curried goat Parking: narrow lot so be careful
Food is good
Amazing place, best Jerk in Peel! I have tried many places and by far the best. Well seasoned/marinated, juicy and delicious! Great service and prices as well. Much appreciated for your service and dedication!
Very poor service, food is not that great I don t know why ppl come here
Ordered 3 jerk chicken meals. Terrible jerk I have ever had. Rice was dry and they were super stingy with the gravy. The chicken was so bland and dry. It did not taste like jerk whatsoever. The coleslaw stunk like it was expired. The person was not friendly either . Will never come back here.
First of all if you ever want oxtail don t come here. I ordered a large and got 5 pieces of oxtail, I received the food opened it no gravy on rice. There was big clumps of hard rice. Fatty pieces of oxtail and the Mac was so bad smells and taste expired. Plz don s do better.
I called and ordered breakfast on January 16@ 7:14 am It took a while to place my order because the machine had to be turned on finally after repeating my order 5 times large calaloo with festival, large liver with festival, large cornmeal porridge and an order of plantain she got it. Went to pick up and came home and took the liver container out of the plastic bag it was very light and wen I opened it it was practically empty 5 pieces of chicken liver so I had to drive back to the restaurant. I opened the container and she stood there with the look on her face like she was saying and so I as if this looks like it was worth $13 and gave me a story they are told to put 2 spoons for large depending on the size of the pieces, she took it back and put some more piece in. When I got home and tasted the live it was so salt that I had to toss it out anyway. I wont be going back nor would I recommend this place to anyone.
Great food and quantity for price
rude customer service. A woman with a fishnet on her head tellling me to wait to serve me a Jamaican patty that is not even cooked!?!? why are you wasting my time making me wait while u serve 1 other customer with nobody else in the restaurant to provide with a patty that you know is not even cooked!?!?!? then instead of refunding me via debit card which is what i used to pay you give me friggin change back!?!?!? will never return here again as long as she is working there.
My experience here was a little disappointing. I ordered a Brown stew snapper and red peas soup. I called the restaurant and went there to pick up the food. Usually I would check my food before I leave but this time it was raining and I was In a bit of a rush to get home. The soup came with a big crack in the cover along with a hole, Looking as if the cover was dry running, or damaged in some way. But there was no piece of plastic in the soup after I poured it out into a bowl. I called and explained the situation and I was Offered a refund for the soup. Given that I would have had to go all the way back to get my refund, Especially for a cup of soup, It was just an inconvenience altogether. The proportions for the food itself was great and adequate and I was hoping that the taste would make up for the inconvenience of the soup. However, It was not very flavourful to me and this could be subjective but I found it to be very tangy and ketchuppy With not much flavor other than that. The fish wasnt raw or anything like that though. I might give this restaurant another shot with something else from the menu but my advice to anyone going here will be to check their food before leaving.
My go too for hominy and red peas soup! I ve never had a bad meal here. It takes time, there s a new location closer to me but I still prefer this location.
knew this place was gonna hit by the way they take your order, and EVERY TIME they never miss, god bless amen
I usually liked the food for a few years now. As of recently it s like the cook has changed or something is going on in the kitchen. The food does not taste like it used to. No flavor! Last ordered on January 7, 2022. I instantly felt sick to my stomach after eating my order stew chicken. The macaroni salad was just macaroni and mayonnaise. No vegetables. Overall very disappointed. This will be my last order.
Great food and awesome experience
Food is amazing
The best jerk chicken in town I don t care what anybody says this is the spot to be if u are not here then you are definitely missin out a wonderful taste of Jamaica ..everything is a must try
Honestly, the person taking your order is so rude and unpleasant to speak with. She can t even take your order properly
Girl at front taking order stink attitude for that never coming here again
So i ordered 2 jerk chicken with ox tail sauce using skip the dishes app. The rice and peas was so dry, I even payed extra for the ox tail sauce and barley got any. The coleslaw tasted like it was old. The only good thing was the chicken. Definitely wouldnt be buying from them again.
I have been supporting this restaurant since 2018 and today is where it stops. On March 2nd I called and ordered 3 fried chicken lunch special and when we collected and reached on job site the food was incorrect it was 3 jerk chicken. In the past I have bought jerk chicken and it is extremely spicy so we don t buy it. I called and informed Kayla that the other girl took the order and there was an error to which the girl acknowledge. Kayla said they don t have delivery to drop off the food so I should collect another day because my husband was already back at job site. My husband went back to collect the food today and Kayla was very rude Acting like we are begging food and stating you ate the jerk chicken right?! So our money is wasted and we got no food and attitude on top of it. We will spend our money where our business is appreciated and we can actually get what we ordered as this isn t this first time they gave us wrong food.
This place is awesome
My fav place to eat Caribbean food. Love their Rasta pasta, their oxtail and their brown stew chicken. They never disappoint me
God strike me if I m lying!! oxtail was rock solid like it couldn t separate from the bone in-fact it wasn t edible and they charge for gravy!!! They even strained the oxtail so I wouldn t get any gravy honestly the oxtail seems like it s sat out for days had white specks on it and is black on the inside and RICK SOLID glad I got my money back from Uber cause that s a dangerous game to play wit people money. That was $20 with delivery $32 NEVER AGAIN IF ANYONE ASK ME ABOUT THIS PLACE I WILL TELL THEM ITS NASTY CAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL I ATE.if I get sick watch.
The daily lunch special is great value. Jerk chicken was loaded with flavour.
Excellent jerk chicken!
Great food, the cashier was very think her name was trishan hope im spelling it correctly pleasant and polite definitely would visit again .cashier big upself and the rest of the staff at Dons caribbean..
This was a great place before, maybe new cooks? Rice and peas had too much all spice and tasted off. Chicken was ok, was much better in the past. They also forgot my fried plantain even though I asked if they put it in the bag.
Decent Jerk checken. They missed the gravy so gave me a replacement the next day.
Ordered of Uber white rice and jerkchicken x 3 absolutely terrible rice dry not sure what type of rice was that no gravey I didnt enjoy this meal the food used to be really good not sure whats going on
Got the jerk and curry goat tonight and what a waste of money!!! Goat was all bone and little meat I got was chewy and fatty. So disappointed. The jerk seemed old and broken up into little pieces. Not sure if they focusing on their new location but I was not impressed!!
I used to love their food especially the mackerel breakfast & oxtail. Not so much anymore. The last times I ordered their food has not been great. I keep giving them a chance to redeem themselves but its not working. Another pet peeve is they ALWAYS forget an item when you order from skip. Like it happens everytime...annoying. Their portion are child size. Either raise the price of food and give a greater portion or lower the price. The portions dont match at all. Their oxtail used to be amazing but not so much anymore and they give you 3 pieces and a small portion of rice.. not great anymore.
Good vibes and great food. Jerk with oxtail and coleslaw did not disappoint. Portions and flavour was good too!
Couldnt hold off eating before taking a photo- breakfast at Dons. Staff is always friendly, and food is always coming out early. **You cant go wrong with this food** Food : 5/5
Good restaurants but their oxtail portion sizes are too small for the price.. I ve been supporting them since they open and realized how much the quality & service has changed.. not in a good way though:(
I had a long day, and was quite hungry. I ordered the curry goat, and could hardly wait to get home to eat. Much to my disappointment, the meat had a weird texture, it smelt like ram goat. The look of the sauce was murky and dark (not yellow, as curry should look). It was also laced with too much SALT and allspice. It churned my stomach. I tossed it in the bin.
Would ve been a perfect 5 star. Food is a 5 star for the most part, but service and friendliness is hard to come by at this establishment. Been eating here for over 4 years now and the poor service hasn t changed since. Food is great and they upgraded the containers. But the employees are not friendly. They also raised prices drastically but fair due to economic inflation. However, they also shortened the lunch special ending from 3p to 2p now. Overall, a 3 star overall. Food is great, lost two stars for bad service and unclean atmosphere.
Tried this place twice and was disappointed both times. The jerk chicken is missing so much and the oxtail gravy is a huge disappointment. Just moved down here from Scarborough and man the jerk chicken down here is garbage compared to the jerk spots in Scarborough. If anyone in Scarborough can see this, open a spot down here and show them how it s done!!!!
The curry goat was amazing please go and support them delicious
Decent food, garbage and rude service
Ordered 4 beef soup on Uber received the soup and not one piece of beef in any of the soup and the order cost us $50 terrible value.tried to call all day was put on hold for 15 minutes than hung up on when I tried to call back kept getting a machine that said voice mail not set up. Terrible service,
Worst customer services....experience back to back. Two customers walk out due to the attitudes of the servers. Mr. Don you are losing business due to your employees attitude Food
Too much pimento in the food., it overpowers the taste of the food.
Great atmosphere, a lot of food options
I had jerk chicken, it was juicy and well seasoned. Prices are on-par with other similar places, small dine-in area, it was quick but the employees were not very friendly.
Paid 19.99 for a large oxtail and got 5 pieces of oxtail and 90% rice. If I wanted extra rice I would have asked for that. Why pay extra for a large when you can get a small oxtail with the same amount of meat and less rice? dissapointed. I have ordered here 10+ times and each time it goes downhill.
Good food but very slow service!! Going in person u get put to the back of the line they deal with Uber and skip more than a customer walking in!! Food
Definitely my go to spot for lunch. They have cheap prices for banging lunch combos. I ve always ordered thru Skip and they ve always been considerate of my requests and would leave notes if unavailable.
Food was extremely tasty especially rice and peas
Delicious food. The oxtail meal is amazing, the jerk chicken dinner is also delicious.
Tasty and authentic jerk chicken, quick service.
Garbage service! Waited for 24mins for a lunch special. They served all those that walked in, ordered big meals and have left while I was still waiting. GARBAGE SERVICE + GREAT FOOD = PITY. The place is ghetto too as well. Kid-friendliness: No
Used to be a really good spot with good staff but recently past years have been devastating for this spot. They never have anything, always are rude, seem like they don t want your business. Just honestly don t give af quite frankly, I d rather take my business elsewhere.
Food is always amazing & never disappoints. Their breakfast combos & dinner are worth it cuz it always fresh. No ova night food. Bonus: dem fry plantain always nice!
Great if you like porridge.. and the are Great
Jerk chicken was excellent.
jerk chicken is on point
Delicious and fresh , you get that together under one roof. Very good food. Perfect spices. Thabks to a colleague who took me there.
Good food and great customer service
If you live in the area this place is a must. Large Jerk chicken meal had very good portions and equally just as good in taste. Thank you for the excellent food. Will be back again to try different menu items. Update: nothing has changed... jerk chicken is amazing.... portions are hella good. But they run out of the coleslaw...
I ordered trays of fried chicken, jerk chicken, and rice and peas for a party. It was awesome, delicious. I still have guests talking about how good the food was.
Jerk chicken and Rasta pasta is nice !!
It used to be really good, but the chicken and rice are dry. Also the servers really look like they dont want to be there
Whatever male called me through Uber eats is an idiot and deserves to be fired. Get some educated staff Also if you don t have things available on Uber eats try not having it on there? Common sense isn t common. Do better Food
Amazing customer service
The best jerk chicken out here
Amazing cornmeal porridge and best fried dumplings I have had.
I was expecting it to be a little better
Excellent service and fair price
Best place to get Caribbean food in the GTA
I d give it 0 stars if that was an option. My roti had several small bones in it, talk about a choking hazard. It was all bread and dry meat, no veggies, potatoes or sauce. On our other meal the two pieces of chicken were all bone and was totally dry and gristly. I d never go here again, do yourself a favor and go to somewhere that knows how to cook
I love this place. I always see it when Im driving and I recently tried it through doordash. Its soooo good. Whats good ? ALL OF IT. Portions are perfect , presentation is beautiful. But the star of the show? The flavour!!! I always call when I see it off doordash and theyre so nice, they always put it on for me. Anyways overall this is hands down the best jerk spot Ive ever had. If youre debating on trying this spot, its a must!!!
Go to Jamaican spot from time to time though sometimes it s a hit or miss but yes it s still pretty good overall.
5:30pm on a Friday no patties ready. Boneless jerk chicken had a bunch of tiny bones. Flavour was okay but the hot sauce was really spicy which was nice.
Best jerk!!
Quick service friendly staff great food.
Gr8 Food
A good spot for jerk chicken. Open early so thats a bonus. They hardly answer the phone calls - so dont bother trying to call ahead of time foe pick up.
Good jerk chicken in the area, the rice is flavourful as well. Sometimes they say the food will be ready in 15 but when you get there it takes another 15 mins. However, the food makes up for the wait Their hot sauce is really . Try at your own risk!
Not sure how this location gets such reviews. Honestly, the portion size was not great. The rice and peas lacked flavor. The chicken was alright, asked for oxtail gravy on my large with no coleslaw, get home, no oxtail gravy. I cant believe these people charge the price they do, for what they give. So many other options in Brampton, pretty sad. Im sure the folks who used to come here will tell you its no longer the same, but what is.......Sorry Don, you are just a jerk when it comes down to it!
Food is always good! One of the best Jamaican food I have had since coming to Canada!
Love their food!
Great food but service is slow.
If I could rate zero stars, I would...Save ur money and go somewhere else. I drove an hour for ...Disappointed . Not good. Got there 20 minutes before closing and got a large oxtail with peas and rice. The peas and rice was like dried rocks and the oxtail was all bones. Every meal should be the best. They charge the same at the beginning of the day as the end of the day
Wow, amazing food! Everything was on point. Jerk was bbqd had a nice bbq jerk flavor. The goat, oh man tons of flavor. And the price? You cant beat it, 12 for a large jerk, 10 for bbq chicken and 12.50 for a goat. How can you go wrong? You must go!
The food is good! There escovich fish and festival is outstanding. Also tried there fried chicken which was delicious.
Omgggggg the best Jamaican resturant in brampton hands down!!!!
Ordered the jerk chicken breast: it was great.
Been here quite a few times. Oxtail is pretty good. Regular portion jerk is good. Patties are good when fresh. Daily lunch special is like eating cardboard. It s like the chicken is pulled from the garbage and lathered with sauce to make it more appetizing. It s a good price for the special but they shouldn t be serving that. Felt sick to my stomach after eating it, on more then one occasion.
Food is ok but the service is terrible. Disgusting attitude, acting like you are bothering them when you ask questions about the menu. Avoid these people !
Ordered a fish dinner, I was so disappointed. . The fish was steamed but still it should have flavor- maybe 3 slivers of carrots and green pepper with absolutely no seasoning; also the rice was not cooked well either. I do not recommend this dish. Not a representation of Jamaican cooking.
Great food and packaged with care!
Best Caribbean food i ever had
Order over the phone got there 20mins after and I had to wait 35 mins OMG
Pricepoint is good, loved the jerk chicken dinner and how they put the hot sauce on it. Really added more flavour to the chicken. Also ordered the fried chicken dinner and it was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. 5/5 easy
This is for the location near Jane and Sheppard. I went here around the time they first opened and really enjoyed the food. As I started going more, the quality of the food was starting to disappoint me. Now, I ordered a jerk chicken dinner and the meat wasnt good. It did not smell or taste like jerk, it had a funny smell and when I tried the meat it had this aftertaste that I know isnt normal. As for the macaroni salad, it was filled with so much of liquid dressing like its soup. Ended up throwing away the food...
Good jerk chicken. They make their own own hot sauce which is awesome but that also means its not always available. The owner ia great and accommodates special requests (extra gravy) but if you requested from anyone else they dont acknowledge it and it usually doesnt end up happening. Still great good though!
Good selection nice staff good food
Typical Jamaican takeout restaurant. Impressive menu but when you ask there is hardly anything available. I guess you have to call ahead or go somewhere else like I did.
My fav patties but its soooooo hard to get cuz theyre always sold out. Ive been wanting them and still havent gotten them yet :( even asked them and they said I dont know ..... how do you not know?!?! Wouldve gotten you 5 stars but that response is utterly ridiculous
The food is way below average, have made several complaints and to no avail. I ordered rice and peas curry goat and barbi-fry Sunday august 7th 2022, the rice and peas was tasteless to the max, the curry goat was no good, the chicken was a absolute mess, it looks like boiled chicken with sauce toss on top of it, a very tasteless, the macaroni salad had a taste of vinegar , and was also below grade.. It hurts me to my core that the quality of food doesnt matter, otherwise something wouldve been done about it, like getting qualified chefs that can live up to the real taste of Jamaican dishes.
Lunch special is the best deal in town. Not sure how they can afford to sell at that price given the great quality of food. My new favourite Jerk Chicken spot. Good service and they don t compromise on portions and quality.
Chicken soup was delicious. Really helps when your under the weather, if we are allowed to say that anymore. 5 star all the way
Little hole in the wall with big flavor!! We had jerk and BBQ chicken, fantastic!
Had the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas and oxtail gravy. Not bad but I thought the rice a peas were a little dry. Chicken was good but felt like there was a type of BBQ sauce on it? overall decent 3.5/5
Consistency is key man these guys are the only people that are consistent man. Rice and peas mad, Jerk Checkin, Angry, cold slaw miserable! I had to leave this review man saved my lunch bra! Thing cheap and sweet
This place is a disaster. They take people from the back of the line because theyre black and make others wait like I have no choice. Came in on Aug 22 at 7:30 the girl with pink hair dont care about nothing both of them helping one person when skip waiting and others. They use to have such good customer service
Wednesday 8:40 pm worst customer service I ever exsperienced who ever that woman is dont put her in front to serve people this review is strictly on customer service
Whats the point of having a phone number if your not going to answer the phones
Amazing food! I wish I could add extra stars!! My family and I got takeout yesterday. We tried the oxtail, jerk chicken, curried goat and fried chicken with rice and peas and macaroni salad and my Jamaican husband said it was the best Jamaican food he has tried since he has been in Ontario. The presentation was clean and neat. Very kind wait safe! Please keep your quality and portions up and you have a family of customers for life. Compliments to the chef!
Food was served fast, fresh, and was delicious. Very authentic Jamaican. Will be returning very soon.
Good tasting, well prepared food,..
Best jerk chicken I have had in brampton.
Ordered a large jerk for 15 bucks or so. Asked for jerk sauce but it came with some sort of sweet red sauce on rice which I did not expect nor enjoy. Jerk was just ok for me, no kick for me and presentation was very sloppy. White rice was mushy and the sauce didn t make it any better. Also ordered the small curry goat for same price and it had a sweet taste to it which was strange but also wasn t to my personal liking. The hot sauce is great.
A really great place to get authentic Jamaican meals
My bf ordered oxtail and curry goat from Uber eats.. it came so fast! And everything was sooo hot and FRESH .. my plantain was soo sweet. The macaroni salad was very good too! Everything was delicious! Thank you
Back story: so i didnt eat last night and didnt end up eating this morning because my mom last minute called me to help her get groceries at Costco. So while I was going back home, I wanted to eat something small so that me and my wife could eat together later. I for some reason was feeling a jamaican patty. So I drove to Tinells to grab one. Unfortunately today is Sunday and theyre closed. I looked up places that sell Pattys and found this place. I always look at reviews and literally found a review saying the patty was amazing along with their other food they ordered. So I thought that this was perfect since thats exactly what I wanted. I drove here to grab one and and as I walked to my car, I thought to myself that hey this feels very warm. It must be fresh. Im going to enjoy this. I took my first bite and I can tell you genuinely it was the worst patty Ive ever had, including grocery store bought pattys. It was absolutely terrible. The whole thing was extremely dry. The beef was so dry that it wasnt edible. I genuinely thought I was going to enjoy it and it ended up being so bad. I threw it out after.
Cold food. I think their Barbie Chicken was stale left overs, as it was tough. Eaten there many times. This one was well disappointing. Charged me for drinks when the lunch special provides a drink. Bad Wednesday October 5, 2922 @ 1:30pm.
hands down my go to place.
I ordered a small jerk chicken for dinner as I have had their breakfast before and it was very good. I asked for oxtail gravy and rice and peas but the rice was hard and the gravy looked like it was scrapped from the bottom of the pot, there were bones in my gravy. Not happy at all
Speak off their noses. They have no interest in getting customers. You simply give them work and they dont want that.
You can never go wrong with their jerk chicken meal and patties. The executives at the cash counter would usually suggest their most populars too. 5/5 for em. Please keep up the good work.
I was confused by the varying reviews, cause theres ppl who love it and lots who seem to hate it. I dont live around the place and stopped there to get lunch on the way to somewhere else, I got the jerk chicken roti wrap, and we thought it was good. The portion was huge and we were content after the meal. No complaints. Parking: Tons of parking all around the plaza.
Delicious fall off the bone!
Ive been coming here for 2 years and everytime I come the food is A1 and the staff are always friendly and willing to cater to all of my strange request I make. Keep up the good work!
I ordered on skip. My order was beef soup, curry goat, fry fish, and fry chicken. The ONLY thing that didn t taste that bad was the fry chicken. Even though it still tasted a bit old. Also for some reason I don t know if I m tasting ginger or something else but why does it taste so strong in the fry chicken. I requested fry fish with rice and peas and was only given the fish no rice. The soup just does not taste good. Wont buy again. The curry goat taste like how it looks bad! Is curry supposed to be this dark?? The presentation is off! And it looks more like a stew that someone threw up in my plate. I still gave it a chance and tried one bite and it tasted bad and stale like it was sitting in their fridge for days and they just decided to heat it back up again. You guys need to hire some new chefs because this definitely is not the job for them. I am extremely disappointed and completely turned off tbh. It s like you guys are trying to get people sick or something with the quality of your food. I will be requesting my refund from SKIP and won t bother ordering from you guys again. I ll stick to what I know. If you guys are looking for good food try Jamaica House in Brampton NEVER any disappointments with them.
Its ok. Asked for barbe fried chicken with rice and pease, oxtail gravy on the rice and pepper sauce on the side. I got bbq chicken (not fried) without the gravy and no pepper sauce. Probably wont go back
I asked for Large Jerk chicken with rice and they charged me $15 but this is not Large chicken portion. Hardly any chicken. I have take Jerk chicken at Air Canada canteen as well as Airport employee canteen. They used to spices. Rather this is sweet. Not coming back to place Sorry!
First off, the appearance of the place I give it 2 out of 10. But I went for the food so I gived it a chance. The food to me tasted good . I went back more than once and realize they never have everything on the menu. Like I wanted a roti but the have no roti, or I wanted a curry chicken no curry chicken. It can be very frustrating when u go out ur way to get something and its not available. Also I do find the rice really dry. Quality went down from the time they first open. To bad. Well there are alot of Jamaican restaurants in Brampton to pick.
I really liked there food, but the girl at the counter was extremely rude yesterday afternoon and had a lack luster attitude not wanting to serve me. She was enthusiastic with the person before me but as soon as she saw me, she started acting all uninterested, signs of subtle racism. Such a shame that they are loosing business because of people at the counter.
Made a trip here after having a poor letdown experience at a different carribean restaurant moments ago. Hands down one of the best in Brampton Ive had so far. Fried bbq chicken and jerk chicken combo with coleslaw was fresh and flavourful. Their macaroni is also great. Definitely recommended thanks for satisfying my craving and taking pride in serving your customers unlike some of the competition in the area
The Customer service needs work. I asked for White rice and they gave me rice and peas. They told me after I paid for the food and after she had already packed it that there is no White rice available Apology didn t seem sincere and they already charged me. Otherwise, the food is good but not really a fan of the rice and peas.
Great Caribbean food with traditional Jamaican flavours you are going to love
