The chicken I ordered was heated by microwave…. I got the food and wondered why it so hot? And then I ate the chicken and knew immediately that it was microwave, never coming back again you should not eat here either.

Caribbean Wave: A Taste of Paradise Caribbean Wave is a hidden gem offering authentic Caribbean cuisine. The flavors are vibrant and the portions are generous. The friendly staff make you feel right at home. Highly recommended for a delicious and unforgettable dining experience. I was there for a business meeting and we were very well taken care of.

I used to dine in this restaurant when I lived in the area years ago and my experience was great. Food was delicious and service was great. I decided to go there on the weekend and I was very disappointed. I ordered the special fried rice with chicken and pepper shrimp, it was definitely not the same as before. The peas was so hard it actually made a sound when it fell on the plate. I couldn’t eat it. The chicken was either overcooked or was under a heating appliance for too long. The only good thing about going there was the server. She was very pleasant. I tipped just because of her. I will never go back there again!

Use to come here a lot back in the day and the food was always great. It’s been a while and decided to get food and the food was not good. Ordered chicken fried rice and the chicken was dry as if it’s been sitting down for hours and the peas were so hard that if you drop it on the plate you’ll hear it… hard to chew! Highly disappointed because this isn’t how I remember this place to be and the quality just isn’t the same. The service itself was great but the food was just a no for me.

July 7, 2024

I’ve been frequent at this restaurant for many, many, many years. I don’t know what happened, quality is not the same. More specifically my complaint is, each time I go lately the vege fried rice vegetables are getting hard and harder to chew. Both the rice and vegetables are tough. Today the green peas taste like stone, the rice was just as hard. I don’t know why, in restaurants I sometimes expect and understand inconsistencies, but never in rice. Like how do you mess up rice.

Best west Indian food I've tasted in a very long time, possibly ever! And the prices are reasonable too. I've spent 5x as much in other restaurants around Toronto with a lot less taste than what the food here tastes like. If you want some fresh amazing tasting west Indian cuisine look no further.

Ordered the pepper shrimp and veggie fried rice. We loved this place when we lived in Scarborough. As as with many other restaurants the food quality has taken a hit but the prices climb. We’ve definitely had better pepper shrimp from here but overall the food still had good flavour and was good

Take out is 15m. Location looks empty when you pull up but it's busy. Folks are in and out picking up orders incl catering. I wouldn't get jerk chicken again but would def get the wave fish, nice and spicy. Chow mein was good.

The overall quality and taste of the food is not bad. Jerk chicken fried rice is very good when eaten freshly made. But stay away from the dhalpuri. The phoulouri is another issue, sometimes it is hard, you can break glass with it. It is of poor quality. The edges of the dhalpuri are too thick, the dhal does not cover enough of the dough. The dough is too thick and not flaky as it should be. After one day, even after heating it up, you can only eat the middle portion. I give it 1 star (Buy dhalpuri from Monas, theirs is 100% better)

I am visit Canada this restaurant was referred as having great food. I purchased roti it was terrible the dough was missing baking powder it was like uncooked dough, the alloo pie was so oily with onions and chive, and the phoulorie could bust your head and break your teeth how hard it was. I will never visit again it was beyond disappointment .

IF YOU GIVE THIS PLACE A BAD RATING, OH YOU DONT WANNA KNOW WHAT ILL DO... Be a nice person and give her a tip!! (p.s: she deserves a raise!!)

Just ordered Jerk chicken with rice and peas, with extra oxtail gravy on the rice. They failed to put gravy on the rice, and the jerk chicken was super bland, had no flavour and the rice was over cooked with crispy pieces of rice throughout the meal. I immediately called them and let them know I was not satisfied, and the lady over the phone did not care what so ever, and didnt even offer to come back to make the meal right. Bland food, old rice, up charged for gravy they didnt add to the meal and just a poor experience over all.

Caribbean Wave food is so delicious!! I highly recommended to everyone to try the special chicken fried rice, wave spicy chicken wings and pepper shrimp . Furthermore, I drive all the way from midtown to eat this Caribbean food. They really need to open a Caribbean wave restaurant in midtown or downtown!! Its so fresh and delicious

The food was good. It was served hot. The portions are large. I got oxtail with rice and peas. I can have it as 3 meals. I did find the rice a little spicy. Im a little weight when it comes to spicy foods.

Really food food, but they need help on the service side. The poor lady working there was by herself and it was simply too much for her to manage.. I give her a 5*, but due to lack of workers, I have to rate the service 2*. Surprisingly, good roti! Food : 4/5

The so Called pepper shrimp had no flavor cost me 18 dollars for absolutely terrible food to say the lease and never going there again cant believe you call call this Caribean chinese food 1 out 5

Do not order schezwan chicken from them. Its not washed. Raw as hell- my money gone down the drain. I had to throw it out

January 22, 2024

Unfortunately place has gone down hill. Used to be solid with good portions and decent food. Now it s bland and boring. I could hardly chew the beef, and the chicken on top had soggy skin. The days when you count on a good meal here at a fair price are done. Anytime you re buying Costco Kirkland water (40 for $3.99) and selling for 13x markup, it s shameless.

I wish it was possible to give the service 0 reviews. I have never experienced a server walk past me and not ask if we were okay after see all the plates and cups at the end of the table piled up for her to take. Let alone knowing that we were still going to order dinner and possibly another drink. On top of that, waiting 15 minutes and then having to get up myself and going to the front made the experience worse. I know the ownership has changed, but this was just ridiculous. I can say that we had the chance to have one appetizer that was just like before so hats off to the chef. As for going there again to even order take out or dine in.. It will still be a no thinking twice

December 22, 2023

One star is for the SERVICE, five for the FOOD. New management needs to step it up.

Terrible service I ordered Goat Roti wrap boneless and they gave me all bones wrapped in the roti and my child choked on it!! This was the worst food I could possibly write about my daughter almost choked to death and the food has no taste! Do not go there avoid this place at all costs

I ordered 4 plain rotis along with a dahl puri and chicken curry via Uber delivery. I was very disappointed because I love food from this place. I had to throw away the rotis, they were so hard with lots of brown spots. Four rotis at 5.19 a piece went down the drain. The dhal puri, was hard but manageable. I called to complain, but no one was picking up the phone Parking: Parking is accessible

December 22, 2023

Food quality is getting lower by week. Always have to fight for a hot sauce because the owner has the one sauce for one order, policy. The tiny hot sauce container only half way filled. The owner wants you to pay extra for the sauce even you placed an order for more than $100.0. Very disappointing to see a neighborhood establishment falling a part. Fix it we will be back. & I am a customer at wave for more than10+ years.

I was working in the area and decided to give this place a try, normally i cook my own Caribbean food. But i took a risk. Let me say the food was the best i have had from a Caribbean restaurant since moving here 25years ago. Very flavorful and the hot sauce came on the side so i can have it if i choose too. Pure flavor in the food not like the others where they mask the taste with hot pepper.the girl the served us was very friendly and she smiled lol

I went to Caribbean Wave after several months later. I spoke with the girls who work there. They said the ownership did change but the cooks are the same. The food taste the same. I dont know what people are tasting. So, if the cooks are the same, how does the food can change. My friend aunty still work at Caribbean Wave. Why are people racially profiling. If a brown or black person own a Italian restaurant, we are going to say they are not Italian. Come on, grow up, its 2023. We are in a multicultural society. If you dont want to support them. Dont write racial comments. I will support them. No matter where they are from. Keep your heads up. Ignore the people who still have not grown up. Caribbean Wave your food is still food.

Great fried rice. Got the special chicken fried rice with extra chicken and it never disappoints!

December 22, 2023

I do not recommed. Went there for the first time today and the server was very dismissive. I ordered oxtail and I basically got just rice. there was more rice than meat and the oxtail was not authentic....it looked and tasted different. needed a but more salt. Also do not be fooled this is not a Jamaican Caribbean restaurant, its Guyanese - not that anything is wrong with that but just wanted to say that for the people looking around for authenthic Jamaican food. Customer service is poor! as a first timer it was not a good impression and I will not be going back. I just wasted $17.25.

Went here for a quick lunch and I couldnt be more impressed. Amanda was helpful and explained the menu very well and suggested the chicken curry as I like chicken. Best chicken curry I ever had in ages! She recommended I add some hot sauce for a kick which I did and I must say it was delightful. It came with dhal pouri which was fresh and tasty. I will be coming back as this is my new go to spot. Great work Amanda and amazing food Carribean Wave.

Love the fish cakes. Last time I ordered (June, 2023)... I was looking for some spectrum of fish in the cakes!!! I wish restaurants would be more consistent with the foods they served. Food : 2/5

December 22, 2023

I placed an order went home was given the wrong order when I called the customer service was so poor and the food quality was so poor. When I called to speak to a manager I of course was given the run around. Horrible food and horrible customer service. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone. Poor in every way possible!

December 22, 2023

ive given this place a try a few times now, and each time is very dissatisfactory. the food its extremely salty that I can barely stomach it. no coleslaw with any of the meals was also really disappointing.

December 22, 2023

Absolutely horrible customer service! I usually place an order from here through ubereats and food never disappoints but recently I visited the store (twice). Both times the service was absolutely terrible. The workers you ve hired are going to cause you to go out of business. Bad attitude, rude responses and when tried to order and asked a question she got fed up and said, if you don t want to place your order, you can leave . Another thing, prior to getting to the restaurant I tried to call to place an order the phone kept ringing but no one answered. I assumed they were busy. I went inside and realized the worker was on her phone, earphones in her ear. So I stood there and called again, she ignored the call. That worker lost your restaurant a $100 business in less than 30 seconds.

December 22, 2023

Caribbean Wave when they first opened was the spot to go to for decent west indian food. That is certainly not the case in recent years. It has gone downhill!!! I took another try and ordered a large tray of cut up chicken for a party my son was having. The location is close to home and on a Friday we did not want to get caught in traffic. The tray was 110 CASH. The chicken was dry and then some. There were pieces that honestly looked like they had been refried as it was not edible and we had to throw out. To spend 100 on a tray of food for a gathering and have such a bad experience is very disappointing. Dry up chicken that you could choke on!!! I made a sauce and doused the pieces which ended being only 3/4 of the tray!! Never ever ordering there again and I will tell my family and friends but they do not order there anyways! No concept of quality and even customer service!

December 22, 2023

I started eating here when they first opened in 2010. This was my go-to spot for authentic Caribbean food. Back then and up until recently, the food quality had remained the same. I started to notice a decline in quality and customer service and inquired as to where the owners were because I hadn t seen them in a few months, which was very usual (they re usually there regularly). To my surprise I was told that they sold the restaurant. In my opinion the restaurant has declined significantly since Krish and Bibi sold it. I can no longer trust that the meat is halal and the dishes that we used to order regularly no longer taste the same. The difference in quality is so recognizable that we ve stopped eating here. It s so unfortunate that this is what Caribbean Wave has come to. It really USED to be the best caribbean restaurant in East Scarborough. The people who ve been eating here for years will be easily notice the decline in quality, service, and overall atmosphere. I hope they make the necessary improvements. Maybe then we ll be back.

Ever since they switched owners the food portions have significantly gotten smaller. They are being very stingy and skimpy for the price you pay. Happened once before and we decided to order again thinking it would be better, but nope, Small portions again...Disappointing. We wont be coming back here. I give this place a year or two before they shut down. The previous west indian owners food also tasted way better. Update: The owner called me back trying to say that they are now using larger containers than before... but even if that was the case, its probably not the smartest business decision. The food portions still look tiny so if youre using big containers than fill the container properly. When he found out I already posted my review he yelled whats the point? Than hung up the phone.

After being away from Toronto for 9 years i was amazed at how things have not changed, as a matter of fact it may have gotten better. Ordered a jerk wave fried rice. The jerk chicken was a little dry, probably was sitting for a while but wasnt bad just not aa fresh juicy as i remembered. What trumped the chicken was the fried rice. The portion is so generous 2 people could have eaten. The rice was amazing chock full of chicken beef and shrimp (not deveined btw). Rice was fresh and tasty just the right flavours.

The food is amazing ! But the attitude is absolutely disgraceful me and my friend drove from Durham region after she bragged about the food the night before I walked in and an instant attitude from the young lady working at the front I had to look at my friend and double check myself because I was literally take it back for words she served maybe 3 to 5 people while we were waiting for our food and back to back attitude on top of attitude to every single customer if the owner values his establishment and he wants to make a good impression to the community you would fire this chick not to mention the night before a customer had left their phone behind and a nice lady that was cleaning ask the same woman working the front desk to run the phone out to the customer and in front of atleast 2 customers (,my friends included ) she said no that s not my problem I don t care that s their fault they were so taken back that they heard this the owner quickly ran out to give them their device but should have never gotten to that point this was (saturday 10th 10:30pm and Sunday the 11th around 2:00 pm )

Caribbean Wave came through for us big time!!! They catered for us last Sunday at Malvern Christian Assembly for 700 people! We ordered trays of fried rice, fried chicken and jerk chicken. The food was all ready 10 minutes prior to pick up, the food stayed hot until we served it, and the food was delicious. It is no easy task to have 50 trays of food ready for 11am, but they did it and did it well! We were so pleased with Amanda and her amazing customer service and organization. She made the process extremely easy and enjoyable. We will definitely be using them for future events!

Decent food but won t come back due to the rude staff. The girls working behind the counter need to find a new as their attitude is completely unnecessary. Ordered food and once it was ready were told you need to leave as they were closing up but they were open for another hour whatever it may be there s a nice way to speak to your customers and y all need to learn some manners

We went to this restaurant to buy two rotis and the food had bad taste and was mushy. It was quite expensive for such bad quality. Called the store the next day and spoke to the manager and all he said was thanks for bringing this to my attention. Nothing to compensate me . Owners have changed and you can tell. Dont go there.

This place was my go to for Caribbean food for over 5 years but since they changed owners I will never go back the staff is so rude especially the girl behind the counter if you hate your job you should find a new one. It s bringing the business down and the name the old owners worked had to get. If this establishment cares about there business they would get rid of her. Its very unfortunate because the food is amazing but because of the staff they ve lost a customer.

From my perspective something has changed drastically in food quality, as well as management. Upon further inquiry with lady in front she stated she is new owner wife. Apparently this establishment was sold and is no longer operated by West Indian people. Which could very well be the reason the food quality has declined.

I got the wave wings and pepper shrimp. Thought the wave wings would have some sauce but they were just plain which was disappointing. They said it was spicy but it wasnt. They were just plain no seasoning nothing. Pepper shrimp was okay for pepper shrimp but other places are far better if ur looking for pepper shrimp. Their portion size was decent though.

We traveled all the way from Burlington for this grub and it was off the chain! Although we came in after the curries and roti were done for the day, we still had some great late-dinner eats in a family-friendly dining atmosphere. Fried rice was seasoned well and not too salty or oily. Jerk chicken + Chinese fusion dishes is such a great combination. Their Lo Mein was great texture (not too soft) and flavour. In addition to their fusion, they also had great chicken wings. Kids loved the honey garlic, and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the spicy Wave chicken wings. Lastly, very affordable price point. Will definitely return next time Im in the Meadowdale area.

We arrived late so we werent able to order any curry or ox tail (that part of the kitchen closes at 8pm). We got Carribean wave fried rice, jerk pork chow mein, wave wings, honey garlic wings, shrimp Chow Mein and sweet and sour chicken. Would definitely recommend the wings and the sweet and sour chicken. Theyre were saucy, flavourful, moist and yet still crispy. The jerk meat was flavourful, but the sauce on the chow mein was a bit on the saltier side. (I prefer less salt in my food so this may be a personal preference and not so much the restaurants flavour profile) We were 4 adults and 5 young kids coming in 1.5 hes before closing. They definitely werent expecting us to dine in, but they were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. There was a steady stream of pick up orders while we were there. Must try if youre in the area

Very good food. I ordered the special fried rice and the Special Jerk Chicken Chow mien. The service was courteous and prompt. It was busy and I waited 15 min for my order but that was ok. It was worth the wait. They were generous with the portions and the flavor of both dishes was great. I will definitely return for more!

I found hair in the food, I went to return the food and they refused to return the money. I finally got my money back after arguing the manager. Who is the most disrespectful man there is and doesnt know a thing about customer service.

I usually order from Carribean wave for fried rice. I never had a problem with their food until today. My family decided to order mixed vegetables, shrimp fried rice, and two orders of vegetable friend rice. My brother in law went to go pick up the food and waited longer than usual for the food order. He brought the food home and to our surprise, there was medium length black straight hairs in our shrimp fried rice and mixed vegetables. My brother in law went to go return the order. The restaurant staff refused to refund the full order, stating that their manager/owner did not want to return it. They provided no valid reason to not refunding the food especially since the food was contaminated with hair and its during covid times. The refund was was processed in full after multiple contentious communications. The owner even used profanity towards my sister because he didnt want to return $20 food to long time customers. I suggest based on their behaviour today and refusal to refund contaminated food that no one should order food from them, there are many better options in Scarborough. Im still shocked by the lack of hospitality that we recieved today especially since we were long time customers.

Im just a visiting tourist from NYC that was craving Caribbean food after asking around the locals recommended Caribbean Wave, I decided to try it out because so many people recommended it. Upon entry I was shocked at the menu this establishment had merged Caribbean food with Chinese food. My first instinct was to steer clear from that and order a simple Curry Chicken with Rice & Peas only for me to be told that they were completely out of anything Curry. I then decided to be a little adventurous and ordered the Jerk Wave lo mein that had jerk chicken laid out on top with shrimp, beef and chicken mixed in. One bite in and I knew I had mad a terrible mistake. The lo mein was absolutely disgusting, the sauce the noodles were stirred in was definitely not soy sauce, the beef was mushy and unseasoned, the shrimp was super tiny and crunchy and the chicken was definitely not chicken it was some mushy mystery meat that was bland at the very least. Completely disgusted with the lo mein I decided to try the Jerk Chicken and that was horrible too. I was a bit apprehensive about the jerk chicken because it looked like pork ribs. Overall 0/10 I do not recommend at all. This place needs to stop parading itself as a Caribbean restaurant.

Food was mediocre not too bad , the older man I m guessing he s the owner is condescending to his workers , definitely having a bad day , he picked on all of them because they didn t have white bags , as the owner of the restaurant wouldn t that be his responsibility, the girls you can tell we re getting annoyed by him however the older lady there was extremely nice to me .

I remember price was only $8 for caribbean wave fried rice before covid. During covid it turned to $12 more or less. Last month it was priced at $15 more or less. Now they upped the price again $18. I go here for decent cheap food. Now I find it appalling. not worth the price when the taste is just okay and not great.

Use to order religiously regardless of the price, but my last two orders I noticed the chicken on top is now 4 pcs (VERY SMALL) , and trust me you can tell and see the difference!!! . What happened ?.. compare to other restaurants with the same kind of food and you still two complete chicken legs .. Good bye Carribbean Wave
