Discovered this amazing restaurant as we were searching for the next best jerk chicken. Their food is amazing. Pricing is reasonable and also a fax of their oxtail!!! Highly recommended. We buy almost every Frida night and sometimes weekend.

I came here for one reason only and that was for their CURRY GOAT🐐🔥😮‍💨. This restaurant by far has the best curry goat and white rice in Toronto. I will definitely recommend this place. 👍🏾

Curry goat was really good. Very tender and juicy. Paired well with the white rice. Although it is pretty pricey for a small, the food was good.

★★★

Food is good but the rice and peas, oxtail and curry goat need more flavor and seasonings. The curry goat used to be my favorite but sometimes I feel like I get day old goat and it seems like they switch curry powder brands. I don't like how they warm up food in the microwave none at all. They don't offer plantain on the side anymore. Quality and love in the food is lacking now. I like them but I have to talk my truth. Love it or hate it.

This is my second time ever trying jerk chicken I was recommended by this place by a few of my friends that come from the island that bear the name. I decided to go with jerk chicken rice and coleslaw with jerk sauce everything was excellent price was great service was good I really enjoyed it will probably go back to try it again. Just like any cuisine you have to find the proper place or someone that makes it very good thanks Jamaica House

If you want good curry goat this is the GO TO spot..they also was great cow foot, but it is only served on Fridays..go early cause it runs out fast. The stew peas (no pork) which only served on Thursday also good ..it is also cash only but there is a ATM machine located inside the store.

I'm honestly just sick and tired of these restaurants not taking any care into preparing there meals. Today I ordered a large curry goat w/ white rice, sat in my car to eat as I was just coming from work STARVING only to find a piece of plastic in between the curry goat. I went inside pleasantly to let them know and this is the exact response I recieved "it nah guh do you nuttin man ah jus plastic, if it was something else then ok but ah just plastic man". Then they continued to tell me that it was normal to find that in the food. So you mean to tell me they cooked that curry goat with the plastic and let all the chemicals marinate in the food, and that's supposed to be normal? Didn't even offer a sincere apology or a partial refund. NOTHING. Very sad.

This restaurant has been around for more than 20+ yrs & the taste of the food remains consistent. My favorites are the Curry Goat (best in Toronto!), I also love their Oxtail-its so soft & tender with a rich gravy. The staff is very nice & service is pretty quick so you are in & out in no time. This is my go to Jamaican spot for the authentic tasting food, tourists & visitors to Toronto should put this restaurant on their bucket list of must trys when visiting the city!

★★★

After hearing about their curry goat . Travelled all the way from Oshawa, battling lots of road closure and construction to only find out . They take only cash .

★★★
December 22, 2023

There s no point in paying $12 for a large & $10 for a small when the containers both sizes hold the same amount of food. I realize you can t call and place an order for pick up cause customers service sucks on that stand point your food wouldn t be ready specially if you just told them you re around the corner. I order a meal and thought it was fresh food I was receiving when they ran out of rice and didn t even think to ask if you would rather something else due to re-warm day old rice it ended up running my stomach for the rest of the day. Don t get me wrong they have great food just not the best customer service they need a bit of improvement. Take this in serious consideration to make ur business better!

Sometimes it hit or miss. Later in the evening you dont get as fresh food. Despite asking for extra jerk gravy, it always ends up less or barely. Very dissatisfying becuase you really wanna savour that jerk chicken with that gravy. Otherwise its too dry.

Went in Sun Dec 18/22 @18:45 The smell of the building was upsetting, its smells like old construction demolition. I could hardly breathe had to wait outside and watch through the window. Ordered medium oxtail and medium goat. Not rice and peas available so white rice it was. I did not look at the receipt but when food was ready I drove away and proceed to eat in the car at another location. Both foods were curry goat. I started eating half way through I started vomiting. I never vomit 25 years. Renovation customer service badly needed for this establishment.

First time buying from this place, first off let me say how discussing the lady s attitude was. She walked to the kitchen preparing our food without even cleaning her hands. A friend of mine recommended this place never again! The chicken was breaking apart so easy it was overcooked, it was not fried it was probably baked and had no flavour they also used Chinese rice it was a sticky and also had no flavour or seasoning. The only good thing about this place was actually the veggies.

December 22, 2021

I was in the area and noticed the restaurant was still still open. We ordered two fried chicken meals for $10 each. We were very disappointed with the food. The chicken was very dry and didnt have any flavour due to not being seasoned. The rice and peas was very bland and tasteless. We felt terrible about having to take a few bites, only to have the rest thrown out. I regret not reading recent reviews. I hope that this location specifically can improve, as I want to continue to support black owned businesses, especially being Jamaican myself. Jamaica House has an esteemed reputation. I know that if this location puts their heart into it, the food will taste better.

Lovely restaurant with the freshest ingredients. Definitely recommend you should try the Curried Goat with rice and a side salad. Very savory and theyll add any spice level you can handle.

Curry Goat

December 22, 2020

I have always been a supporter of Jamaica house but today, I realized why people say they dont support black business. I ordered a large oxtail for $16.00 and they must have thought the order was for a dog, not one piece of meat just bones and one spoon of bones. I have ordered small oxtail before and received just as much bone but at least some meat. They are disgusting and need to treat people better than that, its not free. I just paid $16.00 for bones, no gravy and tasteless cabbage. Lesson learned
