Starlite Family Restaurant in Scarborough

The best food you can get service awesome , pepper shrimp awesome , all the food is great

First time here for a family event, and I enjoyed the music and food. I will definitely return.

Very hit and miss. Order to eat in and the food is cold offering to warm it up. Not to mention someone should give that girl a day off her attitude is only getting worse. Jeez its giving drunk restaurant

I recommend never go here the waiter robbed us over $100. And when we brought it up to her she ignored us and returned to her customers. Worst west indian resturant in toronto please I advise you not to visit this restaurant.

I wouldn t go here for my last meal. Every time I go in here I get terrible service and overall the worst attitude by servers

Im a regular customer here, but today I was so disappointed. I ordered chicken chowmien and I only got noodles. The customer service was great as always. Thanks!

Best rice and chicken around!!!

update your hours accordingly

Here is an HONEST review from someone who has dined here more than once. The food is mehhhh.. consistent. You know what youre going to get and what to expect every time. Unless, they somehow give you the completely wrong order and then act as it that s impossible because they check all the orders before we send them out and their machines don t keep history of orders to rectify the mistake although you have a receipt and photos to support your claim. So check your order before you leave. The food is not bad or great, but I wish they had personal meal options and not just a lunch special menu Mon-Fri. They have good pepper sauce as well. Drinks and entertainment are mid. They aren t mixologists or anything, so don t expect anything fancy. Cheap beer & bar rail options. They have a few rotating live DJs; mainly older vibes dancehall, reggae, r&b etc. There s a $2 pool table and they have karaoke nights that bring out regulars but it never gets too packed. Normal bar activities. Great place to watch games though, they have a few TVs and a projector. Ample seating. The customer service is sad; the front end staff at the bar have an attitude at all times and it s not even a Jamaican restaurant?? Unless you re a man, that s tipping and buying them drinks. Although one looks pregnant :S Kitchen staff/waiters are polite. Anthony, the manager has poor customer service skills to make matters worse; if they make a mistake on your order the staff will say they can t fix it and they will tell you to contact him but he just won t reply, so don t waste your time. The customer isn t right at this establishment and they will gaslight you. They have disappointed me a few times but like I said, they re consistent, so I go less frequently. I will not be tipping going forward because ppl have forgotten tips are earned and not a requirement; if I do, it s going to be directly to the kitchen staff.

Pepper shrimp is the best in Scarborough! 10/10

This place is an absolute gem highly recommend! grabbed the jerk chicken fried rice, the amount of food you get is insane for the price & that s not even the best part about this place! Not only is the staff very friendly, but even the customers are kind, polite and will make you feel welcomed. Definitely one of the best spots in Scarborough hands down!

Sweet lil gem in Scarborough! Service is fast. Food is delicious. Went to Splash Saturdays (free entry!) with Chill Squad Sound Entertainment and the music was FIRE all night! Good crowd. Awesome vibes!

Definitely recommend the dry fried wings

Got their lunch special chili chicken with steam rice. Really good and tasty. As well the portions was more than fair. Key note the price online is different from whats in person. Food

Just Taste the Real Starlight nah mann...!!

I have been here few times but the waitress is very rude . She has her people that she treats better . She refused to take my order of a ceasar because one time I was there with my friends and we ordered 4 Ceasars and it was watered down and we told her and she was so mad about it.. glass was full of ice and it tasted so watered down .I refused to pay for it. Next time I went and ordered she refused to take my order and she said the owner told her not to take my order of Ceasars because I complained once . My service was so poor . I was on my lunch break so I asked for my bill. She continued taking shots with a table full of men even drinking from the glass of the men . I asked the Indian guy again for my bill. He went up and told her and she cussed out loud I could hear her .I have seen this same attitude from her with others also. I wanted to say something but I was wearing my uniform and didnt want to cause a scene. I love the food and atmosphere is good but she needs to change her attitude and the way she treats her customers . Her service is very very por .. I dont even trust to go back there because she might spit in my food . Windies restaurant is the new place to go..their service is t really good ..its on midland and ellesmere in Scarborough.... thank you

Love this restaurant. The food is great Wheelchair accessibility: Street level Food : 5/5 |

I just bought black pudding from this restaurant snd they sent me a bowl of colored rice, nothing that looks remotely like black pudding. Foid has no taste. Terrible service and terrible food. Spent $60+ and had to throw food out.

Only gave this place a one star cuz I can t give zero waiting almost 20 mins to be seated and then waited another 20 mins to be handed a menu. The restaurant was not busy so I don t understand what took the service so long.

On Saturday December 31st I had a suprises party for my husband. I ordered food from starlie my husband always like there food. All my guests loved the food it was amazing. Keep up the amazing quality and taste of your food.

Vegetarian options: Not much option. Parking: Restaurant in a small plaza, which is usually busy, so parking is difficult from time to time, like on the weekend and evenings. Food : 4/5 |

The best fried rice Ive ever had! I eat a lot of fried rice, so I know what Im talking about. I love that they also put green onions, onions and bits of green beans in it, adds a lot texturally. The fried chicken on top is really juicy and good, too! I first had it because someone brought a party tray to an event I was at. I had to find out where it was from and now I feel like I have to spread the word about its goodness :)

Usually the food is good here, not on this occasion. I ordered a chicken fried rice and I got a Starlite special fried rice with every meat possible, and we are allergic to shell fish. My complaint felt like it fell on deaf ears, because not much was dont to rectify yhe problem. All i got was bring it back and well make you a new one. I travelled there to pick it up. My time, my gas. I felt they should of have had the right meal delivered to me, or at the very least comp my meal for free to compensate me for my time and gas. This happen because they play the music way too loud in the restaurant. You cant even hear each other without shouting. You cant have good conversation over dinner at those decibels. The wait staff are always pleasant and attentive.

Drinks are very expensive ATM charges 7.25 per withdrawal Food

Great food and drinks especially on the weekends when they have their events.The Staff is very helpful in getting your orders. Truly a great West Indian Bar.

Went for lunch with a friend. The food was awesome. Great portions. My kids enjoyed the leftovers I brought home. Im looking forward to going back.

Loved it. One of the finest restaurants in scarborough Wheelchair accessibility: Available Recommended dishes

Food is great here.

Its ok

Great food and friendly staff.

I order food here once a week for me and a couple of my co-workers and it is in our weekly rotation, no better lunch special price and taste wise in the city.

Really enjoy it here. Staff is very friendly. The environment is welcoming and fun. Love the different djs they have. Can see myself hanging here often.

A nice lunch place for me that s reasonably priced. West Indian food. Their wings are amazingly crunchy and tasty! For lunch you can ask for extra wings with charge. Yum!

Food is always good here and the spice is just right, from the pepper shrimp to their spicy wings.

I went here this evening to order food. They had a party so I waited outside and called. A gentleman took my order and said 15mins. I went in to pick up the order only to be told there was no order placed. What made it worst they said the kitchen is closed!!! By this time its after 12am so everywhere else was closed as well. I would never come here again. No apology, nothing!!!!

My family ordered rice and chow mein for forty people. The rice was stored in the fridge until the next day until it was ready to warm up. All of the rice and one of the chow mein spoiled and had to be thrown out. We won t be ordering from here again.

They dont actually open at 11 nor do they have food to serve you. A friend recommended I eat here but what a waste of time. On the three occasions I have shown up to get food the staff is ALWAYS LATE! No matter what time you get there they tell you they will be ready in 20 min (just to take your order) then they make you wait an additional 20min to receive your order. FYI Starlite - When you indicate an open time its because FOOD IS READY and so are your STAFF.

Friendly staff. food is good when they remember your order correctly and its hot instead of warm...dj is great

I went in and ordered chicken fried rice with no veggies .. the server placed an order for a veggie fried rice with no veggies. Drive 1/2 hour home to find this out. I called and this girl said we make mistakes ALL THE TIME ?????? Why even be in business if you aren t giving you clients what they want? Who the heck orders a veggie fried rice with NO veggies? What the heck!

Love the Cantonese noodles.

On any given Thursday, karaoke is excellent with DJ Breadman. You should also try the duck and shrimp... !!!

Very poor customer service, I called about an issue with an order I made, the lady that answered said We have hundreds of orders, what do you want me to do about it? She was very impolite and rude, she was made no attempt to apologize. You need customer service training Mam, your behaviour is very lack luster and tacky.

Service there sucks now, staff not friendly. Had a take out order and was told 20 mins. It took 32 mins instead. Anthony talk to your workers.

1st time there. Food was served promptly, hot and was delicious. Highly recommend

My friend had ordered the pepper shrimp fried rice and let me try some, lets just say the next day I ordered one for myself ordered on Saturday during dinner rush so ETA was long but order arrived earlier than estimated via uber eats

Nice and fresh food Good pricing Just the receptionist was not friendly Food : 5/5

Chicken fried rice is sooo good and so is the chicken and broccoli!!!! The hot sauce is great and the food is always good portion

Vary tastey

Excellent food and vibes at this spot! Thursday Karaoke was fun!

Music to loud and awlful sound system

Great food. Chicken Wings are so good. Special house fried rice was filling. Service was quick and with a smile. Nice environment.

Really good food and customer service! The spicy short ribs and fried chicken are amazing, very flavourful. I will definitely be going back.

Delicious period

Jerk chicken tasted like it was reheated it in the microwave very disappointing especially since it was my first time trying this restaurant who doesn t want fresh jerk chicken

Waitress attitude was off somewhat rude, food was good otherwise

Good food. Good service.

I placed an order call back to make an adjustment I was told that I cannot change my order, The person on the phone was very rude and disrespectful cut me off in mid conversation and hung up the phone, upon reaching the restaurant that is when i found out my order was canceled completely. I was on my lunch break I left work was a waste of my time. Super disappointed, Poor customer service.

Literally called for prices of food the girls attitude alone didnt allow me to chose this place for my catering.

Came here this March for a nine night. Very nice inside and everyone was friendly! I had a blast whine my waist til it cant whine no more! Good atmosphere I will be back!

Called to order no answer at 11 30am Went inside there were 2 people in the kitchen I could hear them talking I called waited 10 minutes noone came to the front to take the order. I just left

Nice and friendly atmosphere

Very tasty food ... affordable ... left with my belly bussing put

Nice friendly people clean place. Good rates .ALL GOOD.

Food is great.

The food honestly is amazing. I chose to go here for my bday over more expensive restaurants because they are on point with their cooking. Sweet and sour chicken, spicy shrimp and any type of chow mien is 5 star, dont sleep on this place.

Another one of my goto lunch spots, the girls are friendly and the food is deliciousssss =D

I was a bit weary about this place coming in as soon as they opened today. But damn, the food was amazing. General Tso with chicken fried rice 9.99. Definitely would come back. Service was super friendly too.

The chicken curry and chicken roll is a must try here! My favorite curry in Scarborough

I ordered jerk chicken fried rice and pepper shrimp, received shrimp fried rice and mild pepper shrimp.

Legit my go to place.

The experience here was amazing. The management team treated me with the best service ever. The environment and the food are excellent. I enjoyed my birthday celebration here and would love to have another celebration soon. After my birthday, weve been enjoying Karaoke every Thursday. Its an amazing experience with wonderful singers. Great music with DJ Breadman.

Went for dinner 1030 was told kitchens closed.

Service and drinks were on point!!

Would give a 0 if it was an option, placed an order for delivery for five items and they only sent one item when calling back was given an attitude very rude person on the phone and they wouldnt send the rest of the food horrible experience

The food was excellent. One of the best chow Mein Fried chicken was flavorful to the bone. Very hard to get that technique. Now I know why this is mom s favorite spot

good

Great food hands down.

Love the Guyanese Chinese food here!

I enjoy the food and the pepper sauce

Nice place to enjoy some good food, a few drinks and music on the weekends!

Service was good. Food was ok and doesnt meet my expectations. Jerk chicken was dry and food tasted blan.

I really love the chicken fried rice. They offered Monday to Friday this chicken rice in a special price and you can add a portion of chicken... Let me tell you that this chicken is amazing. Its a good option in the week. Vegetarian options: Each dish have a vegetable option

Excellent food, friendly service. We ordered the Starlite Fried Rice and Starlite Spicy Shrimp.

Love it

Shrimp wonton r bad!!

Pepper shrimp is the star dish here. Other dishes werent great or bad, but man I can eat the pepper shrimp every night!

Decent food. I find the quality has gone down a bit in recent months, could be because of the pandemic. However, their fried rice is always on point.

Always on point, if you know what dishes to buy

Best Guyanese Chinese food you will ever get in Toronto Canada. Good customer service. I took off one star as they could do with an interior make over or a location change. Plaza they currently at seem dated.

Food was good....customer service not so much... Mar 04 21

A friend of mine told me about their lunch specials and I had to give it a try. I had never eaten here before, and I m SO glad now that I ve discovered it! My husband and I ordered the chilli chicken lunch special and upgraded to veggie fried rice. We called ahead to place our order. The lady on the phone was friendly and efficient in taking my order. When we arrived to the restaurant, the place was set up to come in easily access. It looked like they were running things very smoothly for pick up orders. Lots of space to wait for your order while social distancing. There was no problem when we asked for extra napkins and an extra plastic bag. Very friendly and respectful customer service. When we received our food, we could smell it from inside the bag I was very excited to try it. The fried rice had a great taste, and It was fresh and steaming hot. The chilli chicken also had great taste, with the right amount of pepper for me. The portion was excellent, no complaints there. I love extra sauce/gravy and they were very generous with that as well! Overall we had a 5 star experience. We were very impressed with the value of the lunch special and the quality of the food. Thank you Starlite, we will be back again and again for more of your dishes.

Great food and amazing customer service!

Long waiting time . Couldn t get help from employees when I arrived at the store.

Great food and atmosphere friendly service

Food was very good. Staff was friendly and very helpful in guiding us about items on the menu.

Food no good use to be alot better 5 but not anymore was not happy orders I placed for mothers Day pick up food just not good at all taste like Left over reheat. Even a year after buying the starlight special fried rice and chow mein the worst ever... the owner needs to order food anonymously to understand whats going on.

Got my order wrong from take out and I have the receipt to prove they got it wrong. What am I supposed to do drive back there? Not coming back here again. Atleast they stole my hard earned money. Charging me more and giving me less. What a joke. Edit: a colleague of mine convinced me to give it another try and said it depends whos working the cash/phone/order that day. I did and tried new dishes as well. I have to say even though they robbed me the first time which Im still unhappy about. The food and service were excellent. I change my review from a 1 star to a 4 star.

I generally like the food but had multiple bad experiences with stale/re-fried wings being sent with orders.

The experience was great

I ordered special starlite mixed fried rice there was barely nothing inside I got bare rice with chicken on top and a few veggies inside. The food was absolutely garbage!!

Good food bit only 1 server/bar tender and over worked. Parking lot is also very busy and tight

Delicious food and amazing and friendly staff. Thanks

Amazing delicious food. I live in OSHAWA and drive to Scarbrough to buy their food. Bbq duck is my favorite!

Awsome food and excellent service

Food is always on point. Best west indian cuisine in Scarborough

Okay..ordered a big order for my birthday party on holiday weekend, order was received however quality of food was poor and food was bad. Came back to complain when holiday was done and the owner was rude and aggressive, big bald guy cussing down the place for what? i actually liked the restaurant thhats why we used u guys to order the catering but ur customer service was terrible. Deserving of this poor review.

Garbage place stay away.

The absolute WORST place you can go

Lunch specials are a steal!

Best chicken wings

Spicy shrimp was so good

For my first time eating at the restaurant I was truly happy with my time here ... the bar was warm and welcoming especially to women which is rather comforting... the staff was amazing and showed me a great time ... The washrooms were very clean and organized and fresh smelling which was a treat ... I enjoyed the spicy shrimp with the chicken chow mei and it was scrumptious... and very filling I might add ... the price was reasonable and I enjoyed a gin and ginger as a treat ... this is a surprisingly awesome spot .. can t wait to come back

Good food

Large food portions good value service was non existent

Garbage food and bad customer service. Female was very rude.

Refused to correct order mistake they made. Tried to convince that it was UberEats mistake despite having matching display screens to the app. Did not even try to fix the mistake or offer any compensation. Worst customer service. Definitely expected more integrity from a place so highly reviewed.

Food is amazing.

Food is amazing. Warm welcome at all times. There is so much good quality about the place.

Placed my order at 1pm advised the server who answered i would not be able to come until after work. She said she would put aside my order.. Drove from Pickering to pick up my order and you guys sold it.. Great job.. Ill make sure to order from you again . Update: Called and spoke with the owner who apologized and provided a free order.

Excellent caribbean food and prices

Terrible customer service

Looking for good food, great service and nice atmosphere this is the spot!!!

Had a terrible experience while eating I noticed a insect in my chicken fried rice. Very awful.

Lady sbe was a young her at the cash was rude kissing her teeth because i asked for hand sanitizer and its mandatory..... I wont come back
