Nicey's Eatery began as a small takeout over 30 years ago at Finch and Victoria Park area. We have moved to Finch and Markham Road.We continued to serve our authentic homemade recipes in our new location. Our jerk chicken is the most popular dish.
I had a delightful experience at Nicey’s Eatery Caribbean restaurant. The front staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean, exuding a vibrant atmosphere. I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas, as well as the curry goat. The goat is my favorite dish, and it’s consistently delicious—especially when prepared by Ms. Watty, who really knows just how to balance the spices without overwhelming heat. The portion sizes were generous, making for a satisfying meal. Their soups are tasty and filling too.. Highly recommend!
We did a catering order for our store and it was a great decision. Food was delicious, priced well and delivered on time. They packed all the meals separately and even ensured that they write the names of all our employees on their parcels. Excellent customer experience. We will be definitely bringing our business back to you.
It's been quite a while since I've been to Nicey's and it will be even longer before I return. Their food and service have fallen off drastically since my last visit. My friend and I had their Curry Goat and Curry Chicken. They were both disappointingly flavourless, especially the included cooked vegetables. Curry by itself is very flavourful but these dishes were very bland. Unfortunately, the service was no better. The staff seemed to be just going through the motions - not very friendly or inviting at all. Prices also seemed quite high.
North Scarborough has really nice food that comes from Nicely’s! This authentic Jamaican restaurant is located in the Markham and Finch area and serves food favorites with the right amount of seasoning and good presentation. For today’s visit, I ordered Jerk Chicken with Festival, Curry Goat with white rice, and Bar-B-Fry Chicken with Rice and Peas (see pic attached). All dishes were delicious and the serving size was generous. Orders do not come with fried plantain (just in case you’re wondering). If you are in the area, I highly recommend you dine (there is inside and outdoor dining available) in or order takeout. The staff is knowledgeable and thoughtful, making sure your tastebuds are happy. The restaurant is accessible and there is ample free parking! P.S. They have drive-thru service too 😋
Best plantain I've ever tried in my life, and I've had a lot of West Indian style plantain. It was so thick and juicy and perfectly caramelized. The oxtail was plentiful and not just bones. Rice and peas needed a lot of gravy, otherwise it was a bit dry, so be sure to ask for extra gravy. Was not a huge fan of the coleslaw, but others I was with enjoyed it. It was nice to sit on the patio and enjoy the cool summer breeze. Once the outside drums got started though, it was a bit smokey, so keep that in mind if you need to get back to work 🤣 Overall it was a great experience. Friendly staff. Definitely going back with the fam.
Oxtail rice and peas, no coleslaw extra charge. Tasted good, seems like it is flavoured down to appease the masses unfortunately, but still tasty enough. BIG miss was the oxtail gravy on the rice, none given… still not bad just dry… will try again with gravy
I had the regular jerk chicken for lunch and it had good flavour and seasoning. I appreciated the fact that the chicken was nice and hot in temperature. Definitely recommend getting oxtail gravy over the rice and the pepper sauce gives it all a fresh spicy kick.
Nicey’s Eatery is one of my top favourite places to eat. The authentic flavours, great selection and friendly service keeps me and the family coming back every time. Honestly everything I have tried here is so delicious. The Oxtail and Jerk chicken are my top two go to meals here. The festivals and fried plantains are the perfect accompaniment to any main course. A great selection of Caribbean drinks are offered to help wash down all that delicious food. Thank you for being on point every time!!
Food was real good I ordered jerk pork. Best jerk port I ever had still na lie lie. Food well seasoned. Food : 4/5
Moms home cookin
Jerk chicken plate was incredible with a very generous portion! The staff is extremely friendly and provided great service, also a really nice atmosphere inside the restaurant.
I m really annoyed with the service. Nov 24 I ordered chicken fingers and fries. They gave me fish and fries, I was able to speak to the owner and she told me to refund with Uber eats and they gave me $6 credit. I ordered food today, it s like they made**** sure to give me the smallest fry chicken possible that they gave me fried chicken wings. Listen I order a lot from there, Uber eats and in person, it really feels like a slap to the face supporting a business and they treat customers. So much rice and one drum stick and two tiny pieces of chicken. You guys are not being consistent with your customers. I am really upset. I gave them 5 stars review on Uber eats but now I regret it. I should have waited until I opened the food.
Great place to sit and eat, summer time they bbq outside. Thursday my day to go they make cow foot *amazing*. Highly recommend this place!
I grabbed take-out. I like how the pickup window was convenient and organized. The service was great, and the food was fantastic. Also, well priced for my order. Will visit again.
Been hear a number of times. We Ordered jerk chicken, jerk pork, plantain, coleslaw and once again niceys delivered again. Loved the ladies in the kitchen but still have a drive thru to pick it up.
The jerk chicken wasn t jerking today. It was under cooked and under seasoned.
Greate service and friendly Definitely coming back!!!! Food
I ordered rum cake from here with the cashier devi and she always greets us with excellent customer service and ensures our cakes are done well
Good Food Good Service great atmosphere plus alcohol license
I ordered 2 patties in a coco bread on Oct 17, 2024 and the coco bread was not fresh, very stale and dry like day old bread. The patty was too salty and had hardly any meat filling inside.
We searched and found many positive reviews for Nicey s. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely meal with family there. And then decided to treat our extended family to a meal a few days after. The meal with multiple dishes did not disappoint the family! I hope for all the best for your business!
Nice and authentic food still the best Food
Yummy! Yummy! And healthy &, nutricious! I enjoyed it
I would have given 10 stars if I could. The best Jamaican restaurant that always serves fresh and delicious food.
Nicey s provides such great food and service, I called to place an order today and spoke to Devi she greeted me so nicely and took my order with patience and friendliness. I was then cashed out at the drivethru by Karen the manager who was also delightful and friendly. Businesses sometimes don t realize how much good & friendly service means. Keep up the great work team!!
AMAZING!! You know the food is good when you have to call and thank them!!! First time I have ever ordered curry chicken that actually taste nice!! juicy and full of flavour... I will be going back for sure to try more :)
The restaurant is very welcoming and my family and I enjoy coming during the summer for the patio and listening to the music and the girls working patio Jessica and devi and Tony make the experience better
Where can I even start, the food was INCREDIBLE! The friendly staff and environment made the experience 10x better. The service was on point and the wait wasn t that long. The Jerk Chicken platter is definitely a must have. It brings the perfect amount of spice and is rich in flavour. The coco bread is perfectly warm and toasty. After all of that, too cool off, I d go for a grace pineapple drink. Highly recommend and would definitely come back again! God Bless!
My go too spot when I am in Toronto.
Very busy, visited on Friday night Good atmosphere and good food. Food
Nice people and really good jamaican/yawd food and they have the outdoor bar aswell
We had the jerk chicken and sorrel drink. I took some more homemade sorrel drinks to-go.
Wide variety of options and combinations. The food is delicious and fresh, the jerk seasoning is truly unique. Oaxtail gravy is outstanding and works well with rice and meat options. The bread and rock cake coconut bun is amazing, you definitely need to purchase one before you leave. Seating is comfortable and they offer table service. The chicken and pork was very tender and juicy but the pork had a lot of fat on it which was disappointing.
Recently visited, I swear they changed up the recipe for some of the food or switched owners but the food is not as good as it use to be. I use to come here all the time for the oxtail but on my last visit it did not taste the same and the oxtail was not soft. Maybe I just came on a bad day? whatever the case the food was not good when I had it.
Drove from Nova Scotia for this epic food. AAA+++
Poor staff attitude, when the boss is not there on the front. Never again
Great spot for good jamaican food. Has tables and a patio in the summer.
I loved it I came for fathers day and the cashier/waitress was amazing and friendly I recommend coming here and the food was greattt Parking: Non Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yea
I ve never been disappointed by the warm, friendly service and real, authentic cuisine at Nicey s!
Best food and service..!! Loved it.
Amazing food and service I recommend everything on the menu Thank you Karen and staff! Food : 5/5
Amazing food and service! Cant wait to come back when their patio opens.
Love this place
Came here on a recommendation and everything is delicious - staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is chill and cozy even if it is more like a takeout restaurant (they have seating available). Portions are big, especially for the price - it s a steal. The food is exceptional. Highly recommend the fried dumpling, plantines, jerk chicken, and curry goat!
Excellent portions and yes you can order white meat only for additional charges. Not as good as the food from prior location on Morcambe Gate Scarborough. Seems the method of preparation may have changed. Oxtail gravy ad rice and peas on point. Sometimes not enough gravy for all that rice. Fry dumplings great with meal as a side. Careful when ordering delivery as they sometimes send dark meat when you clearly ordered white meat. They always have to check to see if they have any white meat as if they have no idea what their clients desire. You must call ahead if you require white meat or you may have driven to the restaurant for nothing. I ve been a customer for decades. They finally realized some like breast jerk chicken and they can earn more by serving it. Still would recommend to anyone as one of finest values. Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: Numerous selections for all Parking: Directly outside entrance Kid-friendliness: Yes Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Drive thru is so convenient and staff and very friendly
Great food and delicious
love the jerk chicken and jerk pork. always fresh and hot
I stopped for lunch here today. The food is INCREDIBLE! I ordered the Jerk Chicken and its easily the most flavourful jerk chicken Ive had. The staff are kind and friendly and they have lovely ownership. Would 100% recommend and Ill be back for more soon!
The food is exceptional but the staff are even better. Karen and team are very welcoming and attentive. We are very lucky to have this place in our neighborhood.
Karen, Jess, Danny and Romeo were absolutely amazing with helping plan for our 100+ person event. They were professional and kind and providing so much guidance. The food is sooo delicious, well seasoned and great portion sizes. Thank you we will be back !
Am really disappointed for my recent visit for takeout, literally I ordered stew chicken rice and peas there was nooo gravy at all, Seems they too getting into shrinkflation, dont get me wrong the food is good , but now I have to check it before I drive off to see if all is in order.. shame.
Great experience here at Nicey s. Drove 30 minutes after work today to make it before close and the staff was so accommodating to let us eat in. We ordered the jerk chicken meal and oxtail meal, along with some spicy/hot sauce and Ting. As well got to try to spiced bread with cheese and it was delicious. Finished it off with a spicy Jamaican patty as well! We ve been here already a few times and the food has always been fresh, delicious, and the service has always been friendly. Definitely 5 stars! Would have posted pictures but ate all the food too quick! Parking: Plenty of parking available!
I grew up in Chester Le and the location at Morecambe gate was like a second home. R I.P Vincent Lai
Great food as usually but very expensive
Ordered 2 chicken soups, after getting home, realized that they only gave me broth for both, no food, call back and was told it may have been that the cashier hit the wrong button, but they only offer to replace one soup. Why? Poor service. Food
the food here tastes amazing, their goat reminds my grandma of when she was growing up in jamaica.
The food is ok. My disappointment on my last visit was that I was made to pay for the container that contained my fish gravy on the side. Its not the money but the principle. If a customer asked for gravy on the side, why charge for the small container for the gravy, which did not even have a proper cover. Dont kill your business for such pettiness. I drove all the way from Etobicoke to try you out. Please work on the service and customer retention.
I like this restaurant. I go whenever Im in the area! Their patties (not pictured) are so tasty. I ordered their jerk chicken dinner. It was good. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Hands down the best Caribbean restaurant in Scarborough! The wait for food is about 15 minutes but its well worth it. Thank me later.
I love this place so much!! The rice and peas are really good. I highly recommend Niceys to everyone. They have such a wide selection of foods and they are all so good! Today I got takeout of rice and peas. My server was Kay and she was so so so nice and helpful! Vegetarian options: They have some vegetarian options on the menu. Parking: There are alot of parking spots all around the plot. Kid-friendliness: It has kid friendly food.
Nice sit down restaurant (~10 tables indoors) and a patio outside! Plantain comes with 6 pieces and the oxtail platter is delicious (ask for all the sides). Not spicy at all! Food
Reasonable prices, a great selection and excellent service. Want to head back and check out the patio when the weather is warmer. Kid-friendliness: Suitable for kids
My go-to place for Caribbean food. Favourite would be their oxtail! Food : 5/5
Would appreciate more meat, less fat with jerk pork and with delivery food to be hot as mine always comes cold and I must microwave. Presentation, portions, and taste are excellent. My only favorite place. Will always order delivery from them as I am a senior and dont drive. Was in this establishment once and the atmosphere was wonderful and very clean.
Delicious!! Parking: 20+ Food : 5/5 |
My fave spot for Jamaican food
Recently ordered their stew chicken lunch special and I don t know if they changed chef or the ingredients but it s 10x better than the previous ones I have had.
The best. The best Jamaican food. To top it, the staff is excellent. Try it youll like it
Use to be my go to but portions have shrunk, also seem to get a lot of bones in my curry chicken roti which is now a third of the size. Considering I spend a minimum $60 here and have to drive 40 minutes I m definitely looking elsewhere.
Whomever are the cooks/chef thank you. The food taste better than the niceys i grew up with in Chester le. Welcome back
Disappointing. 27$ for a large curry goat w/rice and peas and the dish was 10% meat 90% rice. For the price they ask that is just ridiculous. Small portions and $$$$ expensive. Wont be returning.
Love! This is my go to for jerk wings, Escovich saltfish and festival
Always wonderful food and wonderful service!! My regular spot for a great home cooked meal.
There jerk chicken sandwich with extra hot sauce is a must try.
Only place I get jerk pork from. Food is well spiced and the staff always take care of business.
I have not been here in almost 7 years totally forgot there at a new location now... Anyhow nothings changed! Oxtaillll stilll amazing ackee and salt fish still most importantly customer service is keep up the great work guys !!
The food is good the price is competitive and the service is good. However I had an issue with the honoring of coupons. Businesses give coupons for thanking customers for past support and promoting future business. I had 2 coupons worth $5 each if they were used to purchase $20 or more. I ordered 2 Items worth $37.79 each almost twice the amount stipulated on the coupon yet they wanted to cash only one coupon, so this started an argument. So instead of using the coupon to build goodwill it ended up alienating your customer. Not good business sense. If the owners / managers knew Vincent Lai they should try to emulate him. He was a great person and a great business man who built the Nicey Name, try not to tear it down. Such an incident would never have happened in Vincents presence. I did this review for the purpose of education and still I wish Niceys Eatery all the best moving forward. I got a response to say its 1 coupon per visit, this is foolish because it means I am not allowed to pick-up food for someone else I would have to buy 1 order go outside come back in and buy another order, second option is to have someone else buy the second order. If Niceys restrictions are such it would be better not to give coupons. I personally have no problem paying full price as I have always done. I just think Niceys coupon rules are ridiculous. Transportation is now very expensive therefore people try to maximize their trips and be efficient. I buy litres of stufff each time to save time and money, off course my time and money is not your problem. Take a look from the other side of the counter so you can see the big picture.
Ordered on the Website - 20 min wait Unfortunately order did not go through even though it showed it did on the website for pick up at the drive thru window. Went inside and reordered- so glad I did !! It was worth the wait - ordered 2 reg oxtail meals with rice&peas and 2 coleslaw. Man was I ever delighted with my order !! Was expecting all bone and little meat but the Oxtail pieces were plentiful and full of meat !! Thank You Nicey s for a DELICIOUS LUNCH that my Mom and I enjoyed thoroughly!! So TASTY !!! Parking: Ample parking
Rum cake .... dry & High priced for a thin slice ... Not thats not Nice see Food
Niceys Eatery is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious Caribbean cuisine. Although currently only offering take-out, the experience was still exceptional. The food was absolutely fantastic, particularly the ox tail and the spicy beef patties. The ox tail was slow-cooked to perfection, with a rich and flavorful sauce that was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The rice and beans complimented the dish perfectly. The spicy beef patties were crispy on the outside and filled with a spicy and flavorful filling, as great appitizer to start off your meal. The service was top-notch, I believe it was the owner who was on hand to answer any questions I had and make sure I was having a great experience for my first visit. He was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which made my take-out experience even better. I was also impressed with the attention to detail and overall quality of the food and service, even in a take-out format. It was clear that the owners take great pride in their establishment. I look forward to coming here more often, especially when dine-in reopens.
The best take out oxtail Ive had in awhile and the portion size was great! Always drove passed but never stopped to get anything until now. We will definitely be back. Need to give an update... Did the owners change? Their cook maybe? Ive been back here two more times and the quality is starting to go down. Jerk pork was dry both times (hoped it was just an off day the first time), there was no oxtail gravy on my rice and the amount that was on the oxtail itself was even less. Usually you can ask oxtail gravy on the rice with the jerk pork too but was charged extra now for that. Even my brother and kids asked if I went somewhere new because they felt it was different too. Disappointing
Great food. They should bring their Soup back.
The 1/2 lb fried chicken $7 and oxtail regular I paid for $22 in doordash has no flavours at all. I was expecting the little bit of sweetness in my oxtail.
Hubby said in Trini it taste rhel rhel good, it was boss....me? I concur the best!!
The chef/management must have changed because I used to treat myself to the large veggie meal that had a soya stew with veggies served on rice & peas that was so tasty and a good sub for when I didnt want to prepare it myself... Well fast forward to the present and let me tell you, all I taste is tomato paste and blandness . No lie, the flavors taste like cafeteria food at best, not a single West Indian spice or flavor to be found. And whats up with the unseasoned frozen peas/corn/carrots medley? For the price of this meal fresh Jamaican style cabbage and carrots is the least you all can do... Anyway, lost me as a weekly customer guess its a sign that I got food @ home
I will never go to this place ever again. I open up my order, got a large but I could count how many pieces of oxtail which I only got 4 seriously?
Friendly staff & good management
This place is ridiculous I came in there to pick up my food and they automatically put 10% tip on the bill without even asking .I didn t realize until I got home ,when I called back the manager told me I did it .That s unheard of and greedy .Do not go here !!!!!!
Excellent portion, and the food tasted perfect was worth the money coleslaw and got sauce was great too
Niceys has friendly staff, good food, good menu and good customer service. I called in an order a few days ago and a gentleman picked up. I placed my pick up order, and mentioned the last time I got the curry chicken gravy with my Roti shell, it was a watery. He insisted on keeping the taste of their food consistent, so it wouldnt change much... Keeping taste consistent is one of the important things for a restaurant, especially when someone enjoys something specific...that I get, but when I got it the last time I ordered it was very watery. This time I ordered, the gravy was perfect consistency to pair with my Roti shell. And flavor was there, too. The oxtail is always good and my family members enjoy the curry goat. (I dont eat goat) Only thing I would suggest is a having another assortment of Veggies as a steam veggie option. Be back soon!
Food is absolutely delicious, me and my better half cant get enough, its definitely a must on weekends when your lazy and want actually amazing cooked authentic food, highly recommended, really awesome staff that have recommended things I wouldnt have tried and now cant live without hahah kinda crazy but seriously so awesome!!
Went for roti, it was very good.
Guys I eat here on a fairly regular basis because I like it. Over the past year or so I have noticed a change in the jerk pork. At least 50% of each piece of pork is fat and is not edible. Some fat is great but the majority of this fat has a consistency of pudding. If you re serving your portions by weight, at least try and give people their moneys worth. $18.97 isn t cheap for a large pork dinner without a drink. It s bothered me for some time now and I m not trying to disrespect your business. Like I said I eat there frequently and enjoy it. Just the fat is getting a little out of control.
Great quality authentic Caribbean food Parking: Lots available
I absolutely adore this place! It always evokes a sense of nostalgia in me, reminding me of my lunch trips as a youngin to Nicey s on Chester Le Blvd, where I used to order the RPG with extra gravy and a refreshing sky juice to go with it!
First time there and hopefully not the last... had the chicken Roti with carrot/mango juice. Delicious and nice staff too..
Best oxtail in town!
I. Love. Niceys. Im so happy they got the well-deserved fame from the viral video; theyre a Scarborough staple and for good reason. Unlike other restaurants, they have kept their prices fair (13.55 after taxes for a very filling jerk pork meal), and their food continues to be delicious. I do wish I could get it a little spicier, but this wont stop me from going back over and over again. Do yourself a favour and get Niceys over the McDonalds that shares the plaza; so much more filling and worth it for the $$$.
Good courteous service. Authentic Caribbean food, yum yum.
Their beef patties are great!
Today first time we tried oxtail and jerk pork are really delicious. Reasonably priced.
Nicey s never disappoints! Their food is well seasoned and good portions for the value. The oxtail gravy is . Oxtail is fall off the bone and tender! A must try! Got the Ackee and Saltfish on a bed a rice and peas today as well as another order of oxtail you just have to try it. It s amazing. Best Jamaican food in the GTA The quality and taste can t be beat
Their jerk chicken is so tasty, best of the best in toronto
So good, I came here twice in a week! Had the jerk chicken sandwich and festivals both times. The jerk had a nice mild heat and meat was nice and juicy. The festivals were so good! Crispy outer layer and so soft on the inside. Could eat their festivals for days! Service was quick and prompt too. And didn t even have to wait long for the food. Staff were super professional as well They also have a pick up window drive thru if you call ahead, you can just drive right up and get your order. The interior definitely gives off the island vibes as well from the trees to the furniture! Great job overall! Follow me on IG @thirst_and_taste for better pics, vids and more amazing content
Food good, service good, atmosphere good
The ox tail is super delicious and the jerk chicken is amazing too!
Everything was great as usual
The girl who placed my order today was very nice, I can watch her until the morning 5 points for that
One of the few Caribbean places with seating. Food is very reasonably priced. Lots of options including lots of sides. Jerk chicken has a lovely smokey flavour to it. Highly recommend.
True Caribbean dining experience. Excellent flavourful food without relying on salt.
Reminds me little of home.. good food.. good customer service
This place is way too overpriced for the staff, ambience and quality of food, I think its the new Chiney management - de gyal pon di cash neva know what happn and tek so long fi get service, the food doesnt taste the way it used to, mans used to walk to niceys on foot in the coldest winter storms, now me gan avoid dis place at all cost.
Excellent choice for Caribbean dining. Friday and Saturday night live music. Vegetarian options: They do have vegetarian options Food : 5/5 |
Food is very good tasty I will come again.
Great portion and taste!
Very good!
Always love the food. I miss the Victoria Park supermarket grew up visiting their and knowing Vincent God rest his soul. Now I see Danny still and all the lovely men and woman who run the markham and finch location. #callinforfriedchickenwithoxtailgraveydinnerandfestival #mypregnancygotoalways
The food is always good here.
Visiting from Florida stopped here for breakfast. I got ackee and salt fish and it was really good.
This restaurant is tucked away, easy to miss, and worth discovering. I worked near by for 5 years before the pandemic and have major regrets about only getting around to trying it this year. I literally had lunch there 2 or 3 times in the first week I went! I have enjoyed the chicken curry, boneless chicken roti, and calliloo. All were delicious, flavourful and not overly oily or spicy. The chicken was stewed to tender perfection. The calliloo was nicely seasoned and included some additional vegetables like onions, peppers and tomato? I believe. Serving portions are generous. They offer online ordering which I find very convenient and user friendly. Parking: Plaza parking, there is also a drive through
Absolutely love their jerk pork and chicken! Will go anytime i am in the area.
Ordered beef patties and coco bread. Patties were barely warm let alone hot. Coco bread was rough and old, all this to wait 10 minutes.
Picked up oxtail and side of jerk chicken for takeout Oxtail was tender but lacking flavour. The portion size was pretty good Jerk chicken was baked, not a big fan of that and need some more spices Overall 6.5/10
I ordered from Uber Eats. Ackee and saltfish. The large one. Ackee was very good. The rest of the dinner was banana and dumpling. No food? What happened to yellow yam? It wasnt even on the menu. Memories of the Morcambe location. Vincent was wonderful,(rip) Now the quality of food is lower and dumpling and banana servings were large to take up remaining space without food. Rather ripped off. This dish was very expensive.
Every time I go they run out of what I want.
Food was great... Unfortunately I ordered an upgrade to hard food with no dumplins and I still received 3 dumplins in my meal... And they did not give me any mixed veg... Otherwise really good food.
Food is fresh and hot in temperature but locks flavour rice is fresh taste less same with steamed vegetables the chef can do better fry chicken the batter has too many baking powder so the food for me is 1.1 service is 4 nice environment but food needs to have flavour
Good food good flavor
Made with Love. 5 stars all around!!
Their festival is so good! Fluffy, hot, and fresh. The jerk chicken was done on the jerk pan, and it did not disappoint. It was juicy, with just the right flavor. You will not be disappointed. Great customer service all around. Im looking forward to going back!
Jamaican Restaraunt Srvimg A variety Of Jamaican Food .
Didn t get the fry dumplings I paid for but festival instead. Salt fish was bland in two out of three orders. Provision was bland no taste. I personally wouldn t come back here. All round just lacking in flavour. Only good thing was service.
Best Jerk chicken in Scarborough. Made on the drum pan outside. And their customer service is actually good! And the space is big and clean. A good amount of seating if you want to eat there. They have an outdoor patio.
Dingy, but surprisingly pleasant hole in the wall. I was suggested the fried chicken & rice combo by Danny, and I was glad I did! My only issue is the mixed veg is just simply defrosted frozen variety, but it didnt take away from the quality for price point you get for this around here. Ill definitely be coming back and visiting this place more often whenever I can though.
On Sunday September 24, 2023, My family members, friends, and I came into this wonderful establishment for my God daughters Christening celebration. I had prior arrangements with the owners of this wonderful restaurant. The staff organized tables for us fitting 16 guests. I brought the decorations and the wonderful staff where so accommodating to us. The restaurant was very clean and organized. We arrived during their very busy lunch time, and the staff worked efficiently with us to get our food out to us as soon as they could. As a group, we chose to order our individual delicious meals of jerk chicken and rice and peas with extra oxtail gravey, curry goat, oxtail...etc As fellow Jamaicans and Bajans we know good Island food when we taste it . Everything was hot, fresh and tasty! A special thanks to the staff member Debi, who helped me organize this beautiful celebration for my God daughter. Much love and appreciation
Their staff are kind, their prices are relevant, and their food is delicious! This is a hidden gem, I m actually astonished that I haven t eaten here even after living in the GTA for my whole life. It s cozy and the decor is perfect. Sitting outside in their patio while the smell of jerk smoke is in the air is quite relaxing. Highly recommend.
Very nice place, food and staff both amazing.
Ordered the jerk chicken meal with a side of oxtail gravy and coleslaw on skip. It was really good and seasoned well
Devi the cashier was respectful and kind and served great service to me and my friends
Devi the cashier was very kind and respectful and funny and welcoming
Devi was an amazing cashier as she was welcoming and friendly
Devi was super nice and very helpful. I m very satisfied with the service.
The cashier jessica was kind, funny and very welcoming. The oxtail was tender and juicy, I recommend it!!!!!
Other than the food always being so delicious, the service is also great. Devi is a regular face I see when I come in to order and she is always so polite and welcoming. Thanks for the great service over the years!
Hi my friend kareen told me about the food here she told me try the curry goat and hard food it was great she even told me to get coconut water I really enjoyed my dinner I will definitely come again awesome
We are extremely satisfied with your staff, they always serve with a smile. We must mention a few members Neil, Jessica, Danny and Kay. Thank you guys for always going above and beyond in providing exceptional customer service.
It was my first time at the restaurant and everything was extremely great. Jessica was my cashier and she definitely handled me with care. Because it was my first time I decided to dine in, man I m telling you I felt at home. I will definitely be back to try other menu items.
Friendly staff excellent food!
Best Jamaican food Ive had in a while. Hard to find authentic spots like this one.
Chicken roti was bland and flavourless, dhal puri was papery and tough. Rice and peas were... upsetting. Veggies are just steamed veggies from a bag of frozen veggies. Theres much better Caribbean food in Scarborough.
Great experience all around.
*Most recent Update*: I cant get enough of the curry goat and curry chicken. Its one of the best curry goat meql.Ive tasted.. Thanks Kareen for your recommendations and service and BIG THANKS to the Niceys team as well. From the soup like yard, I know the other dishes will be on point as well! Go and get your Niceyssss!!! ...and sorry I finished my meal before I remembered to take a picture. *Update*: I tried their Curry Goat,Oxtail, and Jerk chicken after the soup, and I was impressed. Folks who know me know that Im very peculiar about my seasonings. The fact that I couldnt wait to wake up and eat the rest for lunch the following day, should tell yall that the food NOICE!! ;) Sidenote to the Owner: Yes, some palm trees, sweetsop,East indian mango and star apple in my back yard with warm weather all year round would be ideal.
Normally I love getting food from niceys but with the high cost of the food, I dont expect half of my meet to be fat. Im highly disappointed by this.
Food was okay, I went eod (end of day) to get a chicken sandwich. I think I went to late, its better fresh. Friendly service, lady at drive thru counter super nice and professional. The food could be better.
Our go to place for Carribean food! Food is delicious and flavourful. Our go to is oxtail and fried chicken. Staff is so attentive and friendly
Preface: Limited experience with Caribbean cuisine. This rating is targeted at the food quality. Ordered: Oxtail meal + jerk chicken wings. -The chicken was well-seasoned (not over-done) and meat was still very moist. -Oxtail and the accompanying gravy was done very well. Well seasoned without overdoing anything. Meat was tender and flavourful. -Bonus points for them serving crushed (pickled?) chili peppers on the side, for those who wanted an extra kick. Staff are friendly and hospitable for dine-in guests. Its always nice to see the entire menu on a board for those who like to see options and arent well-versed in cuisines of other cultures.
Great family vibe. Oxtail sauce is nuts. Ginger pineapple juice
Went into this place looking for a spicy beef patty with coco bread. Ordered two of these plus a can of pop. Cashier said they were out of spicy and only had mild. So I said ok I ll take the mild and can you add some hot sauce to it. One of the employees goes into the back and comes back out and when she gives me the food tells me that they normally charge for pepper sauce and that they ve never been asked to put hot sauce on a patty and coco bread. Ok. The employee is telling me in not to many words she did a solid for me and next time I d have to pay. Ok fine if you charge for hot sauce whatever. I open the patty and I honestly had to look carefully for the sauce. The tiny bit of sauce they put on the coco bread was absorbed by the bread and I had to look for the discoloured part of the bread to see where the sauce actually was. Now the food, so for what I consider an expensive patty and coco bread the patty wasn t fresh and the coco bread was chewy. Meaning it wasn t fresh. All in all this is not what I expected from a Caribbean restaurant. Charging for hot sauce and food that was sitting most of the day. All in all I ate 3/4 of the first patty and that was it. Very disappointed.
If you want real Jamaican food, this is the place to be.
Food is 4/5. Taking a point off for the wait time combined with the fact that the jerk chicken and jerk pork were done at 1pm. Got here at 1pm on a Saturday ordered an oxtail meal. Asked for a pound of jerk pork and was told there was no more jerk pork. Then ordered a pound of jerk chicken the lady taking my order added it then the other cashier came over and said no the jerk chicken is done now too. Ended up ordering some jerk chicken wings which they still had. Then had to wait for close to 20/25 mins to get the food. The food was ok and the oxtail could have been cooked a bit more. This makes me appreciate Food Kulture Bistro that much more their food is always fall of the bone goodness. No I don t have any stake in that place, they are just the best hole in the wall jerk spot in Scarborough.
YOUR FOOD QUALITY IS TERRIBLE YOUR KITCHEN IS NOT SANITARY UNDERCOOKED HARD RICE N PEAS YOUR CHEFS CANT COOK OXTAIL CUS ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY & THEY RUSH THE PROCESS GIVING U HARD STUCK TO THE BONE MEAT AND IM NOT EVEN WEST INDIAN I CAN MAKE BETTER OXTAIL.

Great flood and service,
The food is very well cooked and the turnover is frequent so very fresh. You may have to wait awhile because it is a popular spot.
Solid value for the jerk chicken sandwich!
I ordered through Uber Eats today for dinner around 715 PM the callaloo with rice & peas & also had a side of the curry sauce. I enjoyed it very much
