Such an amazing dining experience..5/5 amazing food just wow

Cuz throw a party here had a great time

The sweet and sour chicken with white rice was amazing!!!

A refreshing West Indian experience in the heart of Scarborough. Food is excellent, service top notch.

Food quality has gone down and the service was really slow.

Over priced food , cant get ur order right, and forces u to take and pay for the wrong order tells u that u cant cancel an order after the kitchen gets it.......never going here again !!!

Outside patio awesome

The old daybreak, best roodtop patio , good calypso reggae and Soca music live DJ. Good security fun place everybody welcome. Nice Asian Caribbean fusion good selection of spirits. Reasonably priced too. If you wan get something an Wave or jump up jump up you must check this out..

Good food and nice lounge setting.

Food and drinks were very reasonable. Service was a little slow when it gets busy but no complaints otherwise. Music was perfect for the crowd.

We went with a party of 12 for a brunch buffet between 2 to 5pm. There was no plates, no food. We had to ask several times for food and for plates. Been here before and the service has always been decent but I guess its gone down as none of the regular staff was there.

Great Summer Patio vibes! Buckets of beer & BOGO Appies on Thursday nitez!

Ordered 2 orders of pepper shrimp recieved only one horrible service. Disrespectful

What a great Establishment!! Excellent vibes and music at night. The food is great aswell!!

Great service. Reasonably priced and good tasting food.

Food was amazing.

Instead of giving food in Paper Plates...they should serve in actual Plates.....dont understand how they charging regular price food to be served in paper Plates.....smh...

The apps like wings and pepper shrimp are good but the mains are kinda bland. The patio in the summer is good for drinks and apps

Music and vibe was good, food was served cold, order was messed up and the jerk chicken had a bad smell. This was my first time attending and I really dont see myself going back there. We had a discount on the meal after sending the chicken back which was nice.

Best local spot ever

Pepper shrimp

We love The Spicy chicken wings and the doubles

I ordered the chicken fried rice and it had no flavor. I have been to tropical nights on many, many occasions and the quality of the food has declined considerably. Ordered chicken wings for take-out and they gave me boneless chicken bites. I live over an hour and a half away and could not return them. This used to be my go-to place and I would drive long distance for the food,drinks and atmosphere. Not sure if I will be returning to Tropical Nights anytime soon.

Great atmosphere, love the outdoor area however service although get the job done. Not on point. Food...average. nothing stands out. Overall, its a good place to hang out and have drinks.

Food was really bland and cold, waited 45 min + for food and drinks , no water was offered to our table and our waitress was clearly not happy to be there as she had such a bad attitude, asked for the drink menu and she rolled her eyes and said ugh .. so sad because there s so much potential for this place but the staff and food are killing it also I would ask to pay the bill right away because that s another hour to get them to back it

Honestly, its too expensive. The food is good, nothing exciting, same as everywhere else. Definitely cheaper options elsewhere, same standards. Food : 3/5

Excellent West Indian Carribean breakfast buffet. All the childhood or most dishes I grew up eating that were mostly made. Food

Cheap eats and nice Caribbean atmosphere. Cant wait for open patio.

Kid-friendliness: Overall most dishes are not spicy. There are great options to choose from and very kid friendly. Food

Stopped in around 10 pm and to my surprise, I was searched by security. Cant be upset by the guy doing his job, but still rude after asking why the patdown for only picking up food. he replied, this is Toronto and you dont know whats going on out here. Im an electrician just getting Off work, god forbid I had forgotten a tool in one of my pockets.

Nice View!

Some of the worst service Ive ever had at a restaurant. We ordered a couple hundred dollars of food and drink, with a nice tip thrown in. When I asked for some containers for our food, this miserable waitress snapped IM BUSY! at me, glaring at me like I had just killed her mother. She was not young, inexperienced or new. I guess with our money in her hands, she could act however she wanted and didnt feel obligated to properly close out the group. I walked out of there with the portions still left on the table. Ill never understand why this place is so popular with the boomers, but I will say that its a genuine West Indian dining experience: tacky decor, rude staff, speakers constantly buzzing and feeding back, and the inability to converse with folks that are right next to you. The only saving grace to this place is time honoured recipes that they cant really be credited with originating or improving upon, anyway. There are many better choices. Atmosphere 1, Service 1, Food 2.

Food tasted horrible. Island mix is so much tastier.

The food doesnt taste good. The chicken is too dry. And too expensive

Tropical nights is a fun place with great food and atmosphere. If you re on the patio prepare to wait a while for food and drinks.

Such amazing service and good food!!! Staff were so cheerful and happy. Food

15 mins in I had to go to the bar where the waitress serving other tables was just sitting there, 10 mins after another waitress comes to ask if we need drinks or food. Mentioning I already ordered she decides to take two plates from the four that are preset at every table and I ask why, she rudely says because there s only two of you at the table but yet, she doesn t know a friend is up on stage singing and slams the third plate and walks off mumbling something stupid. Zackia if I heard correctly is the waitress s name who has a tongue ring. Before completing our first order of drinks, her she comes 20 mins of waiting asking us for another order of drinks, and when I tell her drinks were already ordered, she wants to add on more nonsense of attitude. Anyway good luck to her future if this is how she wants to behave. I didn t even eat the food because if staff don t care this much to be organized and passionate towards their job, how do you know if the food is even being prepared and cooked properly. I paid the full bill and will never return to this trash can.

Hood service, friendly staff, good value for money.

Got food poisoning from this place

Fantastic food, great service and chill atmosphere. The Manager, Reagan, always goes above and beyond and Kim, our server, is always attentive and considerate. Make sure to pay them a visit!

Been coming here for years. Know the owner, Reagan, and the servers are amazing, Kim, Zakiya, Toya, and the rest! Always a pleasure to visit and see the staff. I am always welcomed with open arms and they know me and kids by name. Have been there on nights when they have their djs as well, always a good time!

The bake was amazing

Had dinner with a friend in their outdoor patio complete with Tiki Hut Bar. Good atmosphere, Soca and service. Time well spent!

Poor management,arguing with customers.

I just came from this place this evening, and all Im going to say is never again! Ordered the special fried rice with the chicken on top, why are all the pieces of chicken burnt!? My son ordered the shrimp fried rice his was burnt but not as badly as mine were.This food is tasteless and gross! was not worth the 30 + dollars that we paid! I wish I could upload a picture of this horrible meal! Never again!

Parking: Never have problem for parking anytime I go. Staff is very friendly Food

Amazing food, amazing customer service and overall experience! Parking: Parking out front

I ordered chicken wings and was bad, Waitress was nice and very understanding,she had no say Recommended dishes

Great place to find Caribbean Chinese food. Taste great and definitely will be back. Needs a good renovation though. Everything inside looks old. Food

Good food and amazing service, really nice place to hang out and grab something to eat or drink .

Started coming here last summer. Had one of the best dates Ive ever had with my wife (I remember telling her that night, I feel alive). The food and entertainment are absolutely phenomenal. The lamb curry was the absolute bomb. Reasonable prices. The service can be a bit slow at times, but we were in no rush/it didnt bother either of us. We declared this to be our official spot (we will be back). Cant wait to come back and try the duck.

Waitresses are rude. They don t serve in order and talk back when you ask a question. Can t stand to be treated like this. Too bad cause atmosphere was nice.

first time eating here. food was good but only thing I would say is the service is little bit slow

Our waitress was amazing food was great but the floors were sooo sticky, like walking on tape.

Sever beer in plastic cups

Very nice food. General tao chicken is very good Pepper shrimp is very good Stir fry vegetables very good Fried rice and chicken very good Their pepper sauce is nice as well. I will buy back from here.

Chicken was very dry like it was reheated, rice wasnt hot like from the stove but reheated, veggies dish was ok, Chicken wanton skin was thick, the worst Ive ever had. My first and last visit

Found this place close to work and brought my husband to try the food. Enjoyed it so much we celebrated his bday there for dinner. Great services. Afternoon cook or chef and host are great. It maybe because its way busier in the evening. Overall this place it great find in Scarborough area! Kid-friendliness: We were able to bring our children for dinner. I think after hour kids are not allowed. Which is understandable.

Service is terrible. Called in order and when came time for pick up food was not ready and staff was very rude to me.

NO CASH NO BOTTLE OR BUCKET BEERS AFTER 9 PM. Over price for CAN ONLY the only give you back change in coins security think.s the own the place. bullies harassing people for no reason. But allow their friend to do what they want. The think its a prison the are running.

Service is hit or miss in the summer time. The servers tend to forget your drinks and there is usually a long wait time for food. This spot has an amazing Patio and lots of live DJ/ Entertainment in the summer. Definitely a vibe for warm weather. Security is always present. They overlook everything and do thorough searches. Overall, a safe space. Their pepper shrimp is a crowd pleaser. Must try!

Very much attentive the staff the food excellent

Drinks are good prices some less than $10, food is really good!! Play music & there s a nice patio. Love this spot.

Food can be hit or miss just like the service. Some days its amazing others its iffy but, once the drinks start flowing its amazing.

Went here for my first time on Saturday for the nightlife and boy did I have a good time. Pepper shrimp was amazing! Music and dancing was top notch and security guards were actually pleasant to deal with unlike kaieteur. I ll definitely be back!! Also free entry!?!?! I think I need to move out of brampton lol kaiteur charges $20 for a trashy night

An amazing experience. Our sever was efficient and courteous. Great selection of menu items. Then theres the roof top patio. Definitely one of the best in the GTA and the best in Scarborough. A great spot to relax and enjoy a good meal and adult beverages.

As a West Indian visiting this place for the first time, the attitude of the the security are very unwelcoming. Their behaviour is atrocious, especially the one named Reagan. He seemed to be intoxicated while conducting my search. I tried making a joke with them and he started to use vulgar language towards me and my family. My family also tried to take me out for my bday after coming from Guyana and Reagan refused my entry because they dont accept Guyanese ID, Im 25 y/o. My experience there was treated with great unprofessionalism, ineptitude and ignorance. Would definitely not recommend. 0/10 Happy Birthday to me in Canada

Really great food, good vibes!

One of the best West Indian restaurants in the GTA!!! Entrees are consistently delicious with a vibe to match.

Food service is slow, and the kitchen staff does not wear hair net as there is hair in the Chow Mein. This appears to be a common occurrence when we told the waitress, she did not question and said she believed us. Otherwise, the price point of food and drinks is reasonable. The establishment has ample space on their outdoor patio with good music. Parking: They have ample parking shared with the plaza on the lower level and more on the upper level closer to the restaurant/lounge.

Good place for an evening out with friends and family

I was so excited to come here and try the food out in this restaurant but turned out to be very disappointing when I seen a cockroach in the woman s bathroom i could only imagine where they re coming from and it must be the kitchen considering the kitchen is near the bathroom so sadly I left.

Excellent Experience, they have a large outdoor patio and bar with the sounds of the Caribbean playing from sound system. I believe they also provide live entertainment from time to time. Drinks were great and food was also very good. I did however, find my meal not as hot as I would have liked it. My server was friendly and professional., I will return. Thank you for a great experience.

There were no seats when we got to the restaurant. They brought tables in to accommodate us. It was much appreciated. Thanks

I could understand the reason for all the security knowing tropical nights. never been there the first time I decided to go the security tried to kick me out cause I looked suspension realistically i lost the people I came in with so I went dolo to chill outside good spot tha wont stop me from coming back tho. He didnt get to kick me out

I ve been here twice now and it s a good bar to spend on Friday nights. Good soca music and come prepared as a club night over weekends

Solid spot food was good. Got the tropical special mix fried rice with jerk chicken on top. And tried the chilli chicken dry and oxtail both sold choices as well. Service was slow for a friend s oxtail with rice and peas, but was able to get that for free after my friend waited a really long time to get it. And got extra oxtail for the wait, very nice for that.

Wonderful atmosphere, Caribbean warmth and rhythms on an inviting patio with new friends. Highly recommend a visit for good food and fun.

So I have been coming to Tropical Nights for years now for events on d patio and just getting together with friends...but I brought my mom to eat one day and we ordered the duck curry with dhal and rice and I have to say....wow...very tasty, not too much pepper and just the right amount of masala....really really delicious...my mom is very picky when it comes to curry but she totally enjoyed this and came back for seconds.. I can honestly say she will be back again...hats off to the chef..

In a word , disappointing. Had to request service at the table 3x. Waited for apps, which came to the table cold. Had to send one back. Its lost its way from back in the day

The worst doubles and pholourie I have ever eaten. The doubles were rock hard and very difficult to eat and the pholourie tasted like they were old and microwaved. The service was good but unfortunately thats not enough for me to come back here and try the food again.

Best music, real nice vibes! Food was excellent and everyone made you feel welcome.

Customer service is definitely needed, food is way over priced for the taste, and they always seem to have a shortage on pepper sauce as per the server

Services are very slow

Crowed. No service. Waitress is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Hire more people. No seating available. Security are rude and rough. No etiquette whatsoever

This place needs some work. Floors are sticky and smell. Bathrooms are disgusting. I cannot eat here. Service is another story. SLOW!!!!!

Excellent service

Best place ever

Amazing food and my kind of music .. Always so my fun there and Amazing security service.

Oouuff... Good when youre drunk

There was someone who were serving my food to my table that couldnt speak and took my food to a next table and the customer from that table was about to go eat my food it was my birthday myself and my family food went to the wrong table I am still upset about going back to that restaurant also the tip was already added to my bill without my permission.

Fun and good music

I love the vibes in this place. Im from Brooklyn New York and this location in the summer using the outdoor patio is like a good island beach vibe. The inside dance club is amazing. DJ on point, a mix of all types of music. If you are ever in Scarborough Canada stop by this spot.

Jerk chicken straight off the grill, beers on deck, on a beautiful summer night, cant beat the vibe at this place man, its perfect.

This is THE place to be!!

Ordered a special chicken fried rice with fried chicken on top since night for $20 through Uber, and I am very disappointed! the rice and the chicken is TASTELESS ! not even a drop of salt much less. I ve dined in before and had a pleasant experience so i don t know what s going on tonight. I guess the food is hit & miss

Accused me of eating my brothers and fathers all you can eat breakfast. Which I didnt. Waitress was being rude to my father, just serving my dad food. Not even asking what he wanted. After which we told her that was rude and unprofessional. She proceeded not to say sorry. Never coming back. Also floors were sticky.

Out for drinks and food with friends great service taste food

8/10 overall, good vibe, good service

The food and service is hit or miss. Also the waiters are hit or miss. The last 2 times we had to go find our waiter when we tried to order rhey were more focused on the bar and talking to friends or regulars so they dont treat everyone equal. Also double check your bill in case they charge you for other things you didnt order or incorrect menu items

Waited 45 minutes for my order, finally came & the bake was not cooked By the time the new order of bake came, the bigan choka was cold Usually, the food @ Tropical Nights is amazing, I think it may have been a new cook

Few friends met up here for few drinks and dinner. Everything was great till the DJ setup his equipment and started to play music. They play great music and the atmosphere is nice as well. Note to self: 11pm onwards u will not be able have a conversation inside the place.

Ive never had such terrible bland food. It had no love in it, I had ordered their house special chow mein. I would have had better food in the Scarborough Town Centre food court. The waitress was awesome and her hand for drinks was the saving grace for this establishment. Yall most def missed the mark here, sadly it even needed salt. Do yall chefs not taste whats going out?

Ordered the honey garlic and sweet chili wings. The chicken itself was fresh HOWEVER, the amount of salt added to the seasoning made it unbearable to eat. Uncertain if this is customary practice for the chef/sous chef to voluntarily give people heart attacks or diabetes. Word of advice, easy on the seasoning and heavy on providing quality food to keep people healthy.

I this place!! i went like 2 times in the last few months and i love the security and how strict and they watch out for everyone music and lay out for patio. The food outside wow yummy i will deff will be going again

We were thankfully notified at the door that it was a cash bar only that night. The atmosphere is awesome and safe and the DJ was great, playing a mix of new and old skool music! I went there with the most amazing girl in the world so I had an amazing time.

Amazing food, great prices and friendly staff. Looking forward to coming to brunch on Sunday with the beer bucket special! Great value for money, definitely recommend!!

Disappointed with the food. Ordered a special fried rice with jerk chicken on top and the chicken had no type of jerk taste just baked and dried out. Not a happy customer all the way from Winnipeg, MB

Gotta get rid of the fruit flies. wash the taps and rinse the drains with vinegar please Parking: lots of parking for exterior socializing. But their patio is one of the best.

Really good food . Its hard to find west indian food in the GTA. But this place delivered! Good pholourie, buss up shut, curry goat, no duck though :(. 10/10

Food was just ok, nothing special.

The greeter was super friendly. She made recommendations for lunch. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice. I Recommend this place!!! Food

Food is decent. Staff is friendly most of the time.

I got the tropical special fried rice with chicken on top. The chicken tasted spoil and the fried rice had no flavour or anything.

Love it here. Food amazing

Party nice

Good food good music but not sure if it is due to COVID or other reasons but the place is a bit under staffed. Need a bit of patients for service .

Security cuss and almost fought a paying patron smh

Lovely authentic food

Food quality and size of drinks very disappointing.
