Went here for the first time wasn't sure what to expect, WoW it was delicious. Had there curry goat and BBQ chicken tonight and loved it. What was amazing though was the price !
I used to be a regular customer and the service is excellent. The owner is very friendly and treat everyone as a family. Oxtail with rice and peas is affordable rate and my favorite food there. Every day they have different soup and it is mouthwatering.
Unbelievably amazing portions, and prices are equally as shocking!!! I never grab less than two large meals at a time. Also, they have a huge variety menu that is always full!!🥰😋
I decided to try this place based on the high reviews and my craving for some good Caribbean food, but it turned out to be a big mistake. I ordered Goat Curry with rice and peas, and vegetables. It smelled amazing, and I was excited to dig in. However, halfway through my meal, I discovered a large piece of plastic embedded in the goat. Just imagine that plastic marinating and cooking with the food! I definitely won’t be returning, and I advise other patrons to be cautious. A health and safety inspection is definitely needed at this restaurant. I guess this is what I get for trying restaurants in Malvern!
Scotchiees Restaurant is my go-to takeout spot! The owner is super friendly and the food is always delicious. I'm obsessed with their jerk chicken, curry goat, and jerk pork - all packed with flavor! And the rice and peas are a perfect side. The prices are great too. I've been ordering from here for weeks and never been disappointed. Highly recommend for a quick and tasty meal!" 5/5 stars ⭐️.
"5/5 stars! I'm absolutely hooked on Scotchiees Caribbean Jerk Cuisine! Their jerk chicken is a game-changer - the flavors are bold, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. The fried salmon is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. And the stew chicken? Fall-off-the-bone delicious! The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is warm and welcoming. If you're a fan of Caribbean cuisine, or just looking to try something new, Scotchiees is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back and indulge in my favorites again!"
I ordered from Uber Eats Never heard of this place before but I was impressed by the high reviews so I decided to try it out. Wow! Amazing! I was so impressed with the portion size. Even my side order of plantain was larger than any place usually gives. The oxtail and rice I got was delicious! Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
Scotchiees is a brand new Jamaican takeout restaurant located in Malvern Mall. Their menu offers most Jamaican favourites, including Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, Ackee, and more. I dropped in during their soft opening period to try their food. Most of it can be seen in a steam table and it all looked good. I had their small oxtail. It was a generous serving, with rice & peas, fried plantain, and vegetables. It was tasty and tender and attractively presented on a banana leaf in the takeout container. Nice touch! The place looks very attractive, although it's obvious that some finishing touches still need to be applied. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I'll be back to try more of their food!
Can t afford a vacation ? With the teeth kissing, island time , no sense of line up and the spontaneous BUMBOKLAT you ve brought the resort here. Great food, atrocious service. Food
Jerk chicken was dry af. The rice and beans were good though.
You would always have to come back for more
Great food for a great price
Best place for food and Caribbean groceries very great customer service and very patient staff plus the food is always taste good and very wide variety with great affordable prices Vegetarian options: Good selection Wheelchair accessibility: With staff ready to help you
I went to this place a few times, the food is OK. Reasonable! However, I had two similar experiences where the food had a bad smell, as if it was spoiled. I called to complain, they apologized. I think the vegetables sits out too long, then when they add to the food, the entire container smells. I truly hope they do not sell old food from the previous day. Not my first choice for authentic food.
Food was bland service was slow, variety of drinks Dietary restrictions: Don t go Food : 3/5 |
This store recently appeared on my Uber Eats app. I decided to give it a try, and I was thrilled with the food I couldnt stop eating! Initially, I was hesitant because of the low reviews, but I noticed that many of the other reviewers(positive) mentioned they regularly eat there. I ordered the large oxtail with rice and peas, plantain, and dumpling. DELECTABLE. Its hard to find a good Caribbean restaurant in the east end. If youre considering ordering from Uber Eats or visiting in person, give this place a chance. Thank you so much!
I have bought cooked fish from her 8 times and all 8 times they have given me 8 different prices, for the same order (2 piece of King fish and 2 salmon portions). Today 1 girl told me it was $8 for 2 pieces, then her coworker told me $5 - they have charged me anywhere from $22.60 to $35 for 4 pieces of fish. Better to spend your money at places owned by our own Caribbean people. Ive spoken to 5 other family members who have experienced the same. If you ask for the boss, he will give you the real price, but if not, they just charge you want they want. Watch the cash register as they charge you $5 extra fee - shop where your money is appreciated.
I had high expectations but Im so disappointed. The rice and peas is horrible the curry goat is bland and the fried chicken was underwhelming. Im not expecting authentic jamaican food but at least flavourful food.
Aliyah was of great service. Vegetarian options: Very fresh Food : 5/5 |
Aaliyah was a very good server nice smile food is yummy
Great service, Oly
Aaliyah (the server) was excellent. She s very pleasant, helpful and patient.
Aaliyah her costumer service was fantastic. So glad o found this restaurant. The food is really really good
The people are very friendly and the food is the best!! The idea of the buffet style makes it easy to choose from a variety of foods. Vegetarian options: I love the fact that they serve vegetables, because most Jamaican restaurants don t serve vegetables and I couldn t understand why
Very good service Parking: Plenty Kid-friendliness: Good atmosphere
Did not get my order right and did nothing to help me with correct order. Very disappointing will never order from them again. Very bad customer service.
Loved the food!
The restaurant is inside a grocery store. As soon as you walk in, you can see all the dishes in cafeteria style trays. This is a take out location only. I ordered jerk chicken and got three pieces for $9.99. It included plantains and veggies, along with a sizeable portion of rice. Service wasnt as good. There were multiple employees in the back, but none of them came out even when I made eye contact and waved. I had to have the grocery cashier go get them...
Got delivery from here and ordered the oxtail and jerk pork. Portions are big and the container is packed. Came with rice, veggies, and plantain. The flavor was good. The jerk pork was a on the dryer side but the ox tail was good.
Ordered several times from this restaurant. Food is extremely delicious and fresh. However, each time I have ordered they did not provide part of the order as requested. Have been charged for items I did not receive multiple times.
This was my first time ordering from Scotchiees so I wasn t sure what some dishes were. Luckily the young lady was happy to answer my questions, remained patient and flexible when it came to helping with my order. I ordered 30 wings getting half jerk and half bbq flavours, 3 fritters (2 veggie, 1 saltfish) and a small container of some green leaf veggies. It was only after I got home, I realized my receipt showed that I was over charged. I called them to clarify the situation and they said they d rectify the overcharge as long as I had the receipt. I returned and they did what was promised. Overall my experience was pretty positive regardless of the overcharge error, since in the end they made sure correct it. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. I m happy to say I will be returning in the future to support this local business!
I trusted the reviews and once again I was disappointed. Food wasn t great. Wasted $23. Definitely won t be back. Another lesson learned.
This place offers fresh, well prepared dishes and a variety of options as chicken, fish, goat, pork, vegetables, rice, plantains, noodles and more. The food was delicious with the right amount of spices.
The food is awesome, had escovich, the fish was tender and flavorful, jerk chicken was the best, top off with ripe plantain, yummy.The best deal in the GTA. Great service with amazing hard working staff. Definitely going again. Parking: Parking is not an issue since this restaurant is at the back of malvern mall.
Very friendly customer reception and good amount of food at a reasonable price.
Ordered red snapper combo from Uber eats, gave me fish with barely any meat, and way over cooked. The little fish was too tough to even eat, I had to garbage it. Trying to starve me then take my money. I ll stick with beryls.
Theyre variety of Jamaican and caribbean dishes reminds me of back home! Their price is unbeatable as well...You truly get your moneys worth! I love that they offer vegetable and plantain to all your meals. Food
Its the third time I took my daughter to the restaurant the food is always on point dont talk about the festival and fry dumplings its a hit I will be going back Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access
Food is fresh. Great portion sizes for your money. Tried the oxtail dinner for the first time from this place and it was bomb! Full of flavor

I m a regular now at Scotchiees! The food is amazing. I usually order the Jerk chicken which is juicy and has a nice kick to it. They give a generous portion of rice and peas and Chicken.

My favourite food is ackee and salt fish and kula is the best
Kula is the best
Food is ok. Language Barrier when ordering. I ordered a Jerk Chicken Combo and The Jerk Chicken had a very funny sour smell I would not lie.
Excellent food, friendly welcoming staff. My family enjoyed the oxtail and fried plantain. It was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely come back.
My first order and they did not disappoint. If youve never ordered here, it is definitely worth trying. My money was well spent
First time ordering from Scothies via delivery Stew chicken Jerk chicken Jerk pork (best flavor) Stew goat(promo) (fall of the bone) All the meals came with callalou, plantain with rice and peas Gungo pea soap Portion size is shockingly big for Island food in comparison to other restaurants in Scarborough. Absolutely love the greens and plantains, not oily. The rice and peas is excellent, rice isnt soggy. Peas isnt mushy. None of the dishes were heavily salted. I do believe with some more seasoning AND pepper the meats would be out of this world.
Ackee and saltfish was amazing! And the jerk sandwiches are fantastic. Big ptirtions size and great flavours! Will definitely be trying the rest of the menu
I visited this location for the first time and ordered the large curry goat meal. The portion was generous, however, the curry goat was just ok. I found the young woman who was serving quite rude when I asked for extra gravy. When I politely told her to add more gravy her response yeah, yeah, yeah She needs to improve her customer service skills. Also, why would she ask me if I want oxtail gravy when clearly the curry goat has plenty of gravy? I just found that question odd. I took away 2 stars because of her attitude.
Everything was excellent.
I m going to be honest, The food is great like really great. The food is fairly priced and the portion sizes are fantastic. The only downside is consistency of their product. Sometimes the food absolutely bangs but other times it s very mediocre. I ll still recommend this place for anytime to grab a quick bite on their lunch break or just wants to try something different.
I have to tell you,the food is amazing! The owner was extremely friendly and generous with his portion. I would and have recommended this restaurant to all my friends. Keep up the the service and great quality food and you Will nhabe my support.
People are friendly and food are good
Food was pretty good. Good amount of portion for the lunch special. Got the curry chicken, curry goat and fried chicken. Everything was tender. The only thing I would ve liked more is if they put more gravy, which I will request next time. Bonus: Inside of a grocery store. Although, no places to sit, just go around to the mall and eat at the food court. Cheers!
Im hooked! Its probably one of my fav spots now. The people are so nice and the food is on point! Amazing! Delicious! The flavors are really perfectly seasoned...the portions are good, worth every penny! Yum!
Good Food. Great prices Great portions In todays day having all of these 3 great features makes for amazing experience
For me 10/10 first time buying from them today JERK CHICKEN is on POINT. A large jerk chicken, rice and peas FREE PLANTAIN and FREE VEGGIES for 9.99 can t go wrong. An extra large oxtail rice and peas FREE PLANTAIN and FREE VEGGIES for 14.99 The sizes are perfect will definitely be going back !! The pics attached are the Jerk chicken meal and Oxtail Meal
The food was good but the service needs to be improved. Stood there for 15 minutes waiting for service while the people in the kitchen just starred at me and didnt bother alerting the person thats supposed to be serving customers. Why is it that Caribbean restaurants cant step up their game when it comes to customer service?. I eventually got tired of waiting and just took my business to another restaurant.
Great food and great service
The price was unbelievable for the portion size. Lunch special was 5.99.
The best freaking food omg! And you guys are across the street from my house. Thats it.. game over. Andddd the staff hooks you up with the best portion size.. customer for life right here! Awesome awesome awesome!
Hands down! One of the best places to order your Caribbean food from. If you havent made your way over there yet you are missing out..
OMG! Being a jamaican women who is consistently seeking an authentic West Indian restaurant to eat at I was highly pleased and satisfied with the food I got from Scotchiees. Definitely, a great option for authentic Caribbean food.
Tucked away in the back of the Malvern Mall and within a West Indian Grocery store is where you ll find this hidden gem! Since attending their grand opening this year I have had the pleasure of indulging many times. The variety of fish is a wonderful surprise being some one who is a pescetarian (no chicken,beef,pork). From traditional fried snapper, king, salt fish salmon steaks and one or two more I can t remember the name of but are delicious! Also, the vegan options are plentiful which is a rarity for most West Indian restaurants I ve been to. For example, they offer Callaloo without the salt fish as a regular option. I usually get my main with traditional rice and peas (kidney beans) and it s alway moist even without any sort of gravy. Although I personally haven t eaten the meat options, my fiancé can t get enough of the jerk chicken with oxtail gravy of course. As the cherry on top, the young ladies that serve the food are always so sweet and sometimes add plantains at no extra charge. I was a bit nervous sharing this restaurant with the rest of the world because it s so good I wanted it all to myself just kidding! However, It s so important to eat locally to ensure small businesses such as Scotchies can continue to provide authentic, delicious and healthier options. Definitely earned every star
