The food is great, but the customer service is poor. I ordered for pick-up on Uber, and ended up waiting 30 minutes when I got there. It took close to an hour for my pickup order to be served. The staff said that my order was delayed because of the printer, but another person picked up their Uber order after me. Two staff members offered to assist me, but then walked away and helped others. They would constantly look over at me but proceed to help others. When I expressed my frustration, the staff ignored me. Completely rude and unprofessional.

I ordered from uber today. A king fish dinner $27.50 and a macaroni pie $11.50. I am very disappointed after $39.20 for the order. $50 in total through Uber. I received one container with fish on white rice, salad and the pie I ordered. You're telling me that a $27 meal is only a piece of fish on white rice with some lettuce leaves because that's ridiculous. And the person that ordered macaroni pie has to take it out of my container?Insane!... I expect better. At least a rice and peas and a better side than undressed lettuce. I do not recommend. Will not be ordering from here again. For $50 I expect much more. Very disappointed.

I usually really like going here but the piece of chicken i got was so small. When i brought this up to the lady she agreed but then at the cash changed her tone and told me all the pieces are the same, she could of just gave me another piece but instead cashed me out with the small one. Theres barley any meat on this i basically just got a leg, its hard and tough to eat like its been sitting there all day. such a waste of money. I'm really disappointed.

Horrible food horrible experience they do not clean their chicken they have indians cooking and the quality is just not there... I wouldnt recommend authentic carribean people to buy any of their trash food..

Woman is super friendly saying hello and apologizing when its busy and there is a wait. Good portions and there are daily deals for $12.99. I chose jerk chicken with rice and peas, pasta, gravy and coleslaw. Everything was full of flavour and a bit spicy. I also ordered plantain which was dry as I like mine riper and sweeter. I would definitely go again.

Our go-to place when we're in the office. The rice and beans and jerk chicken are amazing. I love their coleslaw and their spicy beef patties. Definitely recommend this place.

I was looking for something to go with a new Trinidad-style hot sauce we picked up and found Island Spice Flava. Finding this spot was the best thing that happened to me this week. It was big inside, but there was no seating. It had a fence all around, reminding me of the pandemic times. The staff, speaking from behind their barricade and the food display, paired my three "All Day Special" orders with rice and peas without asking. While they were well seasoned and very filling, I would have preferred selecting my sides. Although they offered salad choices, the lack of labels led me to opt for the familiar ones, which were coleslaw and macaroni. It was a slight learning curve for a first-time visitor. Jerk Chicken: This authentic Jamaican dish boasted spices and tender meat so flavourful, it rendered my hot sauce unnecessary—a standalone masterpiece. Fried Chicken: Despite not being freshly fried to a crisp, its batter and meat paired remarkably well with our hot sauce. BBQ Chicken: This sweet and savoury dish was equally enjoyable on its own or enhanced with our hot sauce. Priced around $15 per item, the value was impressive. Although it was a challenge to order for the first time, the quality and taste of the food justified the visit. I'd like to return to try some of their other items on the menu, especially the oxtail.

On a mission to match a fiery new Trini style hot sauce with some worthy eats, I hit the jackpot with this spot. The portions? Huge. The flavor? Unmistakably bold. Each dish I dived into seemed like it was waiting its whole life for this hot sauce, making for pairings that were nothing short of legendary. We took out BBQ chicken, jerk chicken, and fried chicken, each resting on a bed of rice infused with its own spice melody, far from being mere background players. The synergy between the rich flavors of spices in the chicken and the vibrant kick of the hot sauce was like a well-orchestrated dance of heat and taste. Sure, the coleslaw could have used a bit of a tweak, but it was easy to overlook when everything else on the plate was hitting high. By the time I remembered it was there, I was too caught up in the rest of the meal’s brilliance to care. Honestly, if I could have this meal every day, I would.

Why yall keep typing this place up? J had to give this place a break and came back and its still crap. I basically spent $30 for a special with a slice of mac and lemonade. The mac...... OVERCOOKED noodles, and lacking flavour. Im so disappointed. Definitely will not be going back despite how many people said theyve gotten better. Parking: Its a small lot

Ordered 2 Mac pie n bbq jerk, they gave me the wrong food, realized when I opened it when I got home, went back, the best they could do was give me what i originally ordered after commuting 1hr. I asked her to refund one meal and they refused. Sad customer service just sad

Worst service ever. Worst festival! The Grace package festival mix makes a better festival. Was so optimistic after a recommendation from a work colleague. Wanted to order for take out and the woman who answered the phone said no. Rude! Went in and ordered. Asked for BBQ jerk chicken special and got rice and peas and macaroni and cheese. No chicken. Honestly, I can t explain this and am not even trying to understand. Do not waste your time and money here. 1 star is not low enough.

I got the bbq jerk chicken and jerk chicken dinners, with rice and beans and coleslaw. Delicious, tender chicken, not spicy, but you can taste the jerk. Coleslaw was creamy (a lil too creamy), and the rice was also very good. Worth the price, great portions. Will definitely be returning to try their other food options.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. Management needs to hire an entire new staff. These ladies are rude, disrespectful, disgusting attitudes & they are horrible people. I don t get how all of these people can be so rude. First off, I will start by saying that their food is great, I did have food that went off (funny smell & taste within the pasta & coleslaw) other than that, no problems. The last encounter I had with this place was so bad. They made me feel like NOTHING. Like I was a piece of trash. As a women, they have no respect. Especially the trini Indian one. She was so rude. A male customer was behind me in line, she went right past me & took his order instead. Another employee called her out in front of me & they had an argument in front of my face. By far the most unprofessional establishment I have been to. On top of that I ordered the Chinese special that specifically says on the menu comes 2 meats. When I was ordering my food I told the lady I wanted 2 meats while she dishing out my food. She told me it was to late & I couldn t add the second meat when she didn t even finish taking out my food. When she cashed me out I thought it would be cheaper since I only got 1 meat but it still ended up coming out to be the same price as the 2 meat. Completely took advantage & ripped me off & didn t care one bit about their customers & not to mention this all happened in one day where I had experienced all of this. I don t know why they all act like they hate their jobs. Just fire them all. They care about men more than women customers. Will never be coming back here no matter how good the food is. Customer service will always come first & they are HORRIBLE PEOPLE that need to have their mental states checked out. Ugly ugly attitudes. I was so distraught after coming here. Do not recommend this place.

So happy we have an amazing Jerk chicken place close to home. Food was excellent. The only problem was choosing the gravy for the rice. I think the person at cash had yet to be trained on their differences. I chose the jerk gravy which three of us loved but the forth person found to be much too spicy. I would suggest a chart since I think there were about four or five options. What is mild, medium, or hot, etc. The dumplings were devine and we will be back again.

I had to come and leave my review because this place well deserves it. Let me just say I m a foodie and VERY picky on where I eat & what I eat. I ve searched all over the GTA for good jerk chicken and a few places I did find good jerk but there was always something missing. I would settle anyways. I found this place Island Spice recently and I decided to give it a try. Let s just say it s been about 1 month now and I am in Scarborough once a week, this is my GO TO spot. BEST JERK CHICKEN! My daughter always gets the BBQ she loves it. My son and I get the jerk chicken and rice and peas and I have to pause when I take a few bites to take a deep breath because it s soooo good! Cooked with love and has that Smokey Jerk flavour. I haven t tried the oxtail but I know it taste good because I got the oxtail gravy on my rice and peas and let me tell you, it s sooo flavourful & good! This is my new spot when I m in Scarborough!!

December 21, 2023

The food was delicious and renovation made the restaurant looks fancy. They have new containers and I think the owner is trying to pay for his reno by having his customers pay for it in one month. The food portion is smaller than normal. This restaurant is rated $, not sure how this is possible. Paying $20 for a meal without drink should never be a $ sign.

★★★★★
Local Guide
December 21, 2023

Simply put, just some of the best food you will taste. The flavour profiles, spice levels, texture, freshness, everything is on point. The Jerk Chicken is one of the best (I personally say the best) authentic Jerk Chicken in Scarborough, Toronto and GTA. The spice rub/marinade is the perfect balance. Savoury and smokey without being overly salty or too spicy. Its great that a variety of side salads are offered to complement the main. They also put real oxtail gravy on the rice and peas. Mmm, mmm. (Also, unbeatable price at $13) Oooo, now the Oxtail. This is a dish that will be expensive anywhere you go, so if youre looking to treat yourself, youlll want to make sure its worth it. Now, Island Spice Flava is definitely the place to go for this. The side of oxtail will run you about $23, but dont let the size of the container fool you. This will easily feed 2 hungry people. Whomever prepared this put some serious love into their cooking. The richness and decadence of this oxtail makes it a worthwhile indulgence. The flavour profile is deep and the thickness of the sauce is just right to get into every part of the meat and bone and still coat the outside. This meal(s) truly hits the spot. I always devoured it in my car in front of the store.

The food was great, I got myself a regular Jerk Chicken Meal w/ rice and peas and oxtail sauce on top. Their cole slaw was surprisingly very good and I definitely recommend getting that as a side. The Jerk Chicken was very well seasoned and tender. The meat itself was also very good and tasted high quality. The only downside is that the quantity of food I personally believe was very little for the pricing, I wish they put way more. I will definitely go here again.

Everything was very tasty but the chicken portion was a little small. But the price was small as well so I could always get another piece if I wanted to next time for an average price elsewhere. I would definitely come back and try some other options there.

I came here with my sons who are half Jamaican and they told me this the best spot for authentic Jamaican food and there dad used to take them here when they were younger, I ordered a jerk chicken plate with a side of plaintains for all of us and it was delicious and made well down, the young man who served us was very kind and was making small talk while we were waiting because it was very busy on a Saturday afternoon, and he sped up the time by using his customer service skills, someone give him a raise, i don t know his name but he has muscles, and has waves. Thanks for the good service I m coming back again with my sons soon. Cya!

1st time visiting this restaurant and I must say, absolutely love the layout, I love that I can see the food choices without having to ask what s available. Staff was great as well. The food was really good, fry chicken was seasoned, coleslaw was great. I ll definitely visit again. Can t beat the price of the special either, good value for my money.

From the moment I stepped in, I was blown away by the impeccable and highly professional customer service. Its a rarity to find a place that genuinely values their customers as much as this gem does. Now, lets talk about the star of the show - the jerk chicken. Every time I order it, its like a flavor explosion that never fails to captivate my taste buds. The oxtail gravy generously drenching the rice and peas takes it to a whole new level of deliciousness. What really sets this place apart is the consistent perfection in cooking the jerk chicken - its always juicy and tender, never a hint of dryness. And the thoughtful addition of Coleslaw and pasta on the side? Its like they knew exactly what would complete this meal to leave my stomach utterly content. Move over, Chris Jerk, theres a new contender in town!

The food is amazingly good. So long as you get your correct order. Only BC this has happened one too many times; the poor rating is for the several times weve been handed incorrect orders. Or, in tonights case. Two of the three orders were covered in curry sauce over a BBQ jerk dinner. And the third had wrong items altogether. Not fun after a long day. But when the order is correct. The food is dope. Just check your order first.

Ordered from door dash and every drop of food was outstandingly tasty. The heat is present so if youre sensitive to spice buy an extra Coleslaw to help cool things down.

if you are looking for stale, salty, scanty food, where the price is not worth the portions, and is delivered with an attitude, especially from the tall dark skinned server, then this is the place for you.

Repeat customer cause the food here is very good and tasty. Always was a line up though, which inst a bad thing, means theyre always busy. The staff was nice, greeted with a smile. Store layout is open concept, with a clear counter to view food items. Overall good experience. Expensive but consistent with the food, can t go wrong ordering from here.

Service was great! Food was yummy! I know oxtail is expensive but damn they only gave me 5 small pieces which was sad. But their chicken portions are a good size. They charge $7 for a small slice of mac & cheese. It was good but not worth $7.

I order their food through Uber eats 2 times before today. Today I accidentally ordered fried chicken and let me tell you . It was so amazing. I m glad I made that mistake. The skin was still crispy and the chicken was seasoned to perfection! They also surprised me with a side of apple salad *yummy!* So far they have not disappointed me

We ordered a large jerk chicken and rice tray for our Christmas party. We ordered it the day before, and they were able to get it ready for the next day. This amount of food could feed around 25 people. Everyone loved the food, but just keep in mind that it is a little spicy. For me, the spice was lovely, but for some who are not use to it, it could be a little much. Overall, the service and food was great. I will definitely be back to grab a single dinner dish. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work. You all are greatly appreciated. Keeping hungry people fed is a great honour. God bless.

As of late, running out of main food items or salads well before closing. Night crew who would rather clean up to leave early than serve customers. Always waiting to be served though many worked availability standing watching or talking. Good food but better customer service is needed after 6. Overall quality isnt what it used to be.

We got their jerk chicken and BBQ jerk chicken. The taste is great and very authentic! This is our second time coming to this place and look forward to supporting the restaurant more often. One tiny recommendation is to increase the portion size just a little bit more!
