4801 Steeles Ave W unit 6, Toronto, ON M9L 2W1, Canada
Aneal's Restaurant and Bake Shop is inspired by the melting pot of cultures that have culminated into what is now uniquely 'Caribbean' Cuisine. Aneal's holds true to this identity and serves up a proud representation of what the islands offer. Flavours are bold and sure to tantalize the taste buds. The second of two restaurants under the Aneal's banner, the North York location has an added Bake Shop, offering up a range of pastries and also, custom cakes done to order. Most notably, is the Black Fruit Cakes that has become a yearly holiday staple, but can now be ordered anytime, for any occasion.
At Aneals, you get amazing customer service. Food is always on point and made with love. At Aneals, both locations you will always get fresh neatly packed food. Their dhalpouri roti is OMGGGG MMMM DELICIOUS. Keep doin what you're doin. Their restautants are very clean and warm as well.
This post is 3 weeks late, but I mean every single word I’m about to type. Please, if you have the opportunity to check out this location (at Steeles Ave West and Rossdean Dr) please do. If you don’t have an opportunity, find one. The most delicious roti are made here…fresh. Everything is fresh! The macaroni pie (with bbq drizzle) is chef’s kiss. Doubles and the oxtail dinner is amazing. The food is priced reasonably and is very affordable, the staff however are priceless… I had my daughter with me in the car one evening and Aneal himself (a wonderful man) brought my order out to our car. This kind of customer service is rare. Every foodie/dining patron knows this…there are too many establishments that value their customers these days. Times are tough for everybody so it’s nice when you come across a place that has a “human touch”. Despite the intersection being busy and often congested with traffic, please check out this location. Well worth it and you won’t be disappointed. My post is 3 weeks late, but I’ve been going there once a week for the past 3wks!
Easily the best carribean food around without a doubt. I was in the area looking for something to eat and I am glad i stumbled upon this gem. I ordered from here 3 times in 2 days which I don't believe I've ever done at any other restaurant. I truly want to try everything on the menu but the doubles, jerk chicken and potato Roti which I've tried so far have all been 10/10. Don't hesitate to stop by this place I guarantee you will not regret it.
The food here’s amazing ! Tried their oxtail and curry goat take out . Fresh and delicious. Also the cake was delicious. The place might be a little hard to find . Friendly service . Nisha is super sweet and friendly.
Got Jerk chicken with rice and peas 10/10. Doubles were amazing too. The owner Nisha was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. Hidden gem
Same great taste and service as the original location, but with one really good addition to the menu. The doubles were served a bit differently, but in a manageable fashion that allowed more fillings to be added on, and kept on the bara, instead of on the plate. With the nearby bus stop, this is sure to have a lot of drop in customers, that can get the roti to go. The dine in area is neat and clean and could be a good after work spot.
We went to the Steeles location and had a fantastic experience. The food had so much flavor and gave a homemade feel. The doubles were the best we have ever had. There is so much care in the service and quality of the food. Portion sizes were a bargain. The hot sauce was phenomenal, with spice and with flavor. We will stop here whenever we are in the area without hesitation—some of the best Caribbean food we have had, hands down.
Best Caribbean Restaurant in GTA! Have tried pretty much every Chicken dish on the menu, the Curry Chicken Roti and Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas are my favourite. Got to try their Mac and Cheese yesterday with my absolute favourite Jerk Chicken and trust me when I say the best Mac and cheese I have ever had. It was so flavourful and melted in mouth. The new location is just amazing, very clean and pretty to hang out with friends or to have memorable times with loved ones. The owners are very friendly and welcoming (rare to find that in other restaurants in GTA). January 20th 2023 Omg!! Tried their doubles today and these are the best doubles I have ever had. The green cucumber chutney is amazing. The puri (they call bara) is fluffy and soft. Never had doubles like these. Their hot sauce is to die for. Well, if you want authentic and amazing Caribbean food Aneal’s taste of the islands is the place.
Tried the mac pie and jerk chicken and it was very tasty and filling. definitely coming back
Super fresh great taste
Great food and wonderful customer service! The doubles was soooo good! Thank you for giving us a taste of islands food!
The perfect chicken curry roti!
Curry goat is dry, chicken undercooked
Had my in laws in town Ordered doubles and as always never a disappointment food was awesome best In town no matter which location service was on point and ready even before it was supposed to be ready if I could give aneal and his team a higher than 5 star rating I would , no matter what you get from their menu they always knock it out of the park !!!
proper jerk
Best Trini food in the GTA!!
Amazing food for the price! I usually dont do reviews but wow. Will definitely come again !
Used to be an Excellent chicken curry roti which is perfect every time I ve had it so far, now two times in a row the portions have came down to small overall and taste is not fresh or yummy so much. Not going back here, and it is unfortunate as I was eating here at least 1 time a week.
The best comfort food in the area. I had the oxtail and curry chicken roti and it was delicious and flavourful each time.
I always stopped by here when I m near by to get some delicious oxtails. Highly recommended and must try!
Incredibly great food and amazing customer service. Strongly recommend it. Genuinely good people too.
Great food, great service, great experience!
First time going to this location with my husband and son and the food was very delicious. Im from Trinidad so I know good Trinidad food. It has this authentic Bach home taste. The atmosphere was nice and very clean. We had doubles, curry chicken roti , goat roti and my son had the potato roti. Pepper was perfect and very tasty. My husband and I visited their other location once and even there the food was very good. Please try it you wont be disappointed
Oxtail was fantastic! Always visit when in town.
The food here is amazing every single time that I either dine in or take out. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere reminds me of being home. I recommend everything with the hot sauce!
Awful and super slow service Hire some people for your weekend please Service
Top notch everything ox tail and stew chicken roti are my favorite, but everything Ive tried so far was very good.
First time trying Aneal s and OMG where do i begin. Steels location. Amazing service. The lady (owner )was beyond pleasant and the definition of service . We got lrg oxtail , macaroni and doubles.. the food was EVERYTHING.. great flavor and spice..that rice and peas (FLAVORED TO THE HEAVENS)) I could ve just bought a plate of the brown rice and peas.. sadly we live Barrie otherwise I would eat there every week.. REAL CARIBBEAN FLAVOR and big portions.. we will MOST DEFINITELY be back .. oxtail was flavored and tender ..very clean , especially the restrooms.. overall, time and money well spent . Parking: Parking was easy, park right at the location, a few doors down.. free parking Kid-friendliness: We had our 1 and 2 year old and the owner was very welcoming.. very kid friendly place.. we ordered to go, but dined in a bit once our baby woke up and that was NOT an issue.
The best roti and doubles I ve had in Toronto. It s my absolute favourite place to get rotis. The staff is very friendly.
Easily the best Caribbean food Ive had since moving from the Caribbean. Well seasoned food, Great portions, Amazing customer service, Very comfortable seating. Overall fantastic place. Will definitely be a regular.
Aneals had the best doubles!!! Very authentic! We thoroughly enjoyed our curry and roti. Will be back very soon
The food is so good. Down to earth staff, great service. Cant wait for the next trip in from Brampton.
Honestly, this place is worth the visit. Memories of back home you know, that childhood feeling/memory of Caribbean food. Folx, it just hits the spot. The price is a cpl $ more but it s worth it I feel. Why listen to me anyways, try for yourself
This is some of the best Caribbean food I ve had in years. The Mac and cheese pie and bbq chicken were packed with flavor. The stew chicken and roti were divine as well. I got takeout and it was perfect. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. I can t wait to visit in person. The food really reminds me of home.
The food is really good, the staff is really friendly. Definitely recommend for a good meal.
I really had high hopes for this place the jerk chicken was just OK and didn t like the rice and peas.
My go to whenever Im in the area, or need to cater for a group! We ordered catering for an event yesterday and all 25 of our guests were raving about the food. They just started offering a few baked goods too and Im glad I asked for extras! Aneal and Nesha are wonderful people and Im always happy to support them.
Aneals Taste of the Islands delivers a flavorful Caribbean experience. The curry chicken with rice & peas bold spices and tender texture are standout, complemented by a boneless curry chicken roti wrap. A must-try for those craving an authentic island taste.
Delicious food HOT sauce is actually HOT thank you maam for the hot sauce !!
Delicious food and awesome ambience
I was there for the grand opening and damn, I was impressed. I ordered a jerk chicken roti and I could tell the roti was just made. Always impressed everytime I visit! Will definitely be back. So happy they opened a new location closer to the west end! See you soon Aneal! Keep up the freshness! Vegetarian options: Potato curry was amazign Dietary restrictions: Being lactose Intolerant there s many options to choose from Parking: Close parking Kid-friendliness: Always caters to my 5 year olds needs Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic doors and ramps make this restaurant wheelchair friendly
Nice to see aneals opening a 2nd location closer to the west end. The food as always was great. Customer service and food quality is absolutely the best at aneals wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Will definitely be back
Came by to try this newly opened restaurant, was astonished with the amazing looks and tastes from their menu items ! Had one of the best customer service hands down. Would definitely recommend to everybody
Have been going to the Richmond Hill location for years and so excited to see one open up at this busy location! Food is to die for and cannot be compared to anything else. Oxtail soup, jerk chicken, BBQ chicken, all the curries, and lets not forget the rice and peas, simply delicious and mouth watering. Aneal and his family and staff are very warm and welcoming and they really know how to be cheerful, kind and professional. Cant wait to eat here again! Totally worth it!
Tried their Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas and Oxtail soup it s the best Caribbean food in GTA , price was reasonable, service was awesome, will definitely come back again
My weekly visit to Aneal s taste of the island in Richmond Hill is now a little closer to home with the opening of their second restaurant location in North York (4801 Steeles avenue west) The food is everything you would expect and more truly a taste of the island, got to have the Oxtail soup then the jerk chicken with rice and peas. The chicken/goat roti is also fantastic (not to forget the island hot sauce) Great service and reasonably priced. See you guys in a couple of days
The restaurant is cozy and warm with a great vibe. The best Caribbean food I can find that comes with great service from the owner and staff
I ve been eating from Aneal s in Richmond Hill for the last few years and their food has been AMAZING! And their 2nd location, the quality has not changed one bit. Had the Oxtail w/ Rice and Peas and a Stew Chicken roti And it was just perfect! Will definitely be coming back again
As a long-time and very frequent customer of Aneal s in Richmond Hill, it was awesome to visit their new location. The food is every bit as good at the new place. The softest and most delicious roti you will ever taste, filled with tender and super-flavourful meats and potatoes. Jerk chicken and BBQ chicken are other favourites of ours. Rice and peas cooked the traditional way to high standards. The restaurant is spotless, bright, and welcoming. Caribbean tunes add to the vibe. Even the washrooms are clean and classy! Owners are warm and engaging, making it a pleasure to support this local and family-run food haven! Portions are generous and prices are fair. Dine in or take out you can t go wrong. Don t hesitate!
After years of enjoying lunches at Aneals in Richmond Hill, I recently ventured to the new Steeles location. The restaurant is nicely laid out, and I very much like the colour choices. The goat curry with rice and peas with coleslaw and a ginger drink was as tasty as it has been all these years in RH, as was their signature jerk chicken I took away. So pleased to know there is now a second location. Dine at Aneals for Caribbean dishes, and you certainly wont be disappointed :-) Parking: Easy parking.
Amazing! Ive dined at both of Aneals locations and the food is always consistent and delicious. Its also served with a smile!
A great family and friendly atmosphere. The food is of high quality and the quantity is very generous. For anyone new at trying Trinidadian food, this is by far as original as you can get. Highly recommended!
Amazing service along with tasty food you cannot go wrong. It s a must try, it will not disappointed!
I enjoyed my Jerk Chicken, Mac & Cheese; My sister enjoyed her BBQ Chicken, Mac & Cheese; and Mum liked her chicken. In all three thumbs up from us!!! This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation. I recommend to everyone! I regularly frequent the Richmond Hill facility at 10220 Yonge Street. This new location at 4801 Steeles Avenue West is much closer to my mother and allows me to pick up a few meals on my visits to her. The service was great and I will definitely be back again. It was a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in the new Toronto (North York) location. The service, just like in Richmond Hill is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!
Absolutely delicious is the only way to describe the food at aneals it doesnt matter if its Richmond Hill or North york you will fall in love with the food and the people
Amazing food ...the service and serving is awesome...theres no complaints when it comes to eating at aneals...great job my friend.. keep the hard work going
Recommended by my friend Amandeep and one of the best recommendations ever. Jerk chicken, curry chicken and Ox Tail. Three meals and everything was perfect. Tasty and very affordable. The owner herself is a very friendly presence. This place has become my regular go to spots now.
Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely new restaurant location of Aneal s Taste of the Islands in North York. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing everything i tasted melted in mouth. Absolutely the best meal i had. My personal all time favourites are jerk chicken with rice or macaroni and curry chicken with Roti. Highly recommend!
Best Rice and peas i have ever had! The food is awlays fresh and full of flavour. The portions are amazing. do yourself a favour and check this place out.
After eating at the Richmond Hill location for years we tried the Steeles location and the same AMAZING food. Enjoyed the Chicken Roti and tried their Doubles delicious. The new location also has a great vibe, so welcoming, staff super friendly. This is the only place we go for our Roti and Jerk fix, and now for Doubles. Thanks for a great Friday night dinner we will be back to the Steeles location.
I m a regular at the Richmond Hill location best tasting food in the Greater Toronto Area, if you like good food go to Aneal s.
The best ox tail I have had in Canada I absolutely love ox tail and hands down this was the most flavourful I have ever had. Amazing. Also a good amount of tables to sit and eat.
Amazing Caribbean food! Tastes nice, fresh, good portions Usually I get the soup, oxtail, or jerk chicken and all of them are 10/10
The staff is very welcoming and always smiling ! Food is always cooked perfectly ! Establishment is always clean.
Super delicious food, good price, and big portion! Cant count how many times weve been to the Richmond hill location. So glad that they opened a location closer to the Vaughan area. Ordering from this location for the second time now.
I had the oxtail and rice with two doubles yesterday I was in a food coma food was delicious as always customer service was great I highly recommend if you re in the area definitely check them out Parking: Lots of parking
The team at Aneals on Steeles handled our catering order with ease. Everything was so delicious! We got Rotis, Doubles, Soup, and Macaroni Pie. Everyone was impressed, we cant wait to go back.
The doubles are amazing. I tried them at another restaurant and I was completely dissatisfied. I had to come back to Aneals (steeles location) to enjoy good food and great service. If your in the neighborhood stop by, you will not be disappointed at all.
I ve been going to Aneal s Richmond Hill location for years and the food is just as great at the new location, but you also get his famous doubles. I would honestly drive out of my way just to have them and I have!
We have been going to the Richmond Hill location since it opened about 8 years ago and was thrilled to hear about the new expansion to Steeles which means more people will get to enjoy the delicious food. We visited the Steeles location today to try the doubles and let me tell you, they do not disappoint!!! The sauce, texture of the dough, and chickpeas come together magically. Don t wait another moment to visit this hidden gem.
Even if the food was not good, service would cover everything, great food, fantastic service and a relaxing atmosphere Parking: In front of the store Kid-friendliness: Can bring the children for anything they like
Delicious food!
One of the best places Ive eaten Trini food from. The smell alone when you walk in the restaurant will knock your socks off! First off we were greeted with a very warm welcome form the owner, Neesha. The place is super clean and has a great atmosphere. We ordered an oxtail soup, doubles with slight and extra hot pepper, dahlpuri with curry chicken, dahlpuri with curry potato and jerk chicken. The food was dynamite and did not disappoint. The fresh hot pepper sauce was perfect and well balanced. I cant say enough great things about this place. I would highly recommend it to any wanting to try a something new or simply want that home comfort meal you get at home. Definitely going to pop in here more often!!! Great place, great food, great owners. Congrats and all the best Neesha and Aneal.
OMG picked up roti and doubles today, the service was phenomenal and the food is amazing. My first visit to this location and I will definitely return. Portion size is generous and the flavor of the curry reminded me of food my mother made, fresh and flavourful. If you havent visited yet, I strongly recommend that you try it. You wont be disappointed. Clean and inviting and a great taste of island cuisine.
The oxtail soup and meals are to die for and the jerk chicken is top notch. Absolutely amazing family who love to cook and the food always impresses. Stop reading the reviews already, and start getting some food!
Definitely my favorite restaurant in this area. Just be carefull of the hot sauce its delicious but hot
As an Indian who loves his spice; I approve.
Best Caribbean food out there. The staff are great too.
This place recently opened up and immediately became one of my go to spots for me and my wife. The food is amazing and they always offer special dishes. The owner is very sweet and friendly. Would highly recommend this place. Always stop by after work on my way home. Their Mac and cheese is to die for! Thanks for a great experience Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options Parking: Lots of parking Kid-friendliness: Have dishes for kids
My family and I recently visited and were greeted with warm smiles. The food was great with authentic Caribbean flavours and a good size serving. This brought us back to having home cooked food - it was evident that it was well prepared with love not to mention staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a good meal and nice ambience. Trini to the bone flavour.
Authentic Carribean food with great taste, amazing hospitality, and perfect quality
Best doubles I have ever tasted in canada, comming from someone who grew up eating the orginal sauce doubles in curepe. The stew chicken dinner and coleslaw tasted bestest and the proportion was perfect.
Bestest food from Trinidad.
Great food, friendly lady and you get roti made fresh with curry made that day. Great price. I got goat with dhal puri and a double for $16. Vegetarian options: Yes Kid-friendliness: Yes
This restaurant is a must try. The food is packed with the perfect amount of flavour, the portions are extremely generous, and the owner is very inviting and kind.
Definitely come and try these doubles, there amazing. Forgot what real doubles taste like; everywhere else you pretty much get soggy oily doubles, these are far from that.
Wow, what a vibe!! Lovely staff and service. Food was amazing!!! Food : 5/5
Flavour! Flavour! Flavour! Need I say more. Doubles with the cucumber sauce is outstanding. The curried goat with roti amazing. Curried shrimp really tasty. Pepper sauce is so good I may have splurge on this delightful sauce. Taste like authentic Trinidadian food. Nisha (not sure if I spelled her name correctly) is very nice and friendly. Her constant smiling made me feel very welcomed. I will be returning with my friends and family to try the rest of their menu. Vegetarian options: Not a lot of choices for vegetarian meals. Im hoping tomato choke, dhal and rice and bhaggie etc.would be on the menu in the near future.
Excellent food Excellent customer service Clean and fast service Food : 5/5
great taste, excellent friendly service, A+++
The best.
oxtail soup FIRE. hot sauce on the side not in because it s so spicy. the doubles were not mind blowing, but it was my first time having them so maybe i cannot judge properly.
I first tried Aneal s in the Richmond hills location and was blown away. Outstandingly delicious food that is authentic and high quality. Legendary atmosphere and very friendly people. The jerk chicken is my go to and never disappoints.
We were shocked out how nice the plate was. We were just looking for a decent place to eat but got a gem of a restaurant. Nisha is a very nice host as well. Will be sharing with friends.
Go try the rest, then come eat the best.
Very very good!!! Recommend if youre in the area.
Best place for Caribbean food
The food here is some of the best of its kind in Toronto. I advise anyone in the jane and finch/ weston and finch area go try this spot out! Some really good taste of the islands for real! I will be visiting this restaurant alot now that its in our area, I had to drive pretty far up to Richmond Hill the first time I tried the food from this restaurant!
Best home made food available away from home - the doubles are amazing and there are items for vegan and vegetarian people too
Anyone who likes a good back home style meal with the right type of pepper and spices, this place is a must try
This is my third time there in 8 days and let me tell you the goat and chicken roti is a must try !!!! As a foodie traveling ontario for the best Caribbean dishes this place is a must try . Hey dont forget the casava phone for dessert a must try
Best jerk & Mac around, hard to find good authentic jerk definitely worth the price and the atmosphere is amazing, they treat their customers like family. Portion size is great too. Definitely recommend!
Amazing spot that makes the best curry goat roti (next to grandmas) that Ive had in the area. Goat was perfectly cooked, tender, fall apart, not dry at all. Curry sauce was not overly salty and had the perfect flavor in my opinion. Potatoes were nice and tender and Dhal Puri roti was fresh, thin and flaky with perfect flavor. Their pepper sauce is literally fire, but tastes so good you have to load it on. Great Job. Very warm welcoming people in there, and the inside was spotless with modern design for the decor. A great find in the area and will be sure to bring more friends/colleagues to this place for lunch because its that good!!!!
This family owned, delightful restaurant is the place to go for your doubles and classic Caribbean dishes. By far the best doubles I have ever had! It is my weekly fix. Lol You re alway met with a lovely smile, in clean and pleasant environment. Aneal s comes highly recommended! All my friends and family know this is my spot! They will not disappoint.
So having visitors from Trinidad, we called ahead to ensure they can accommodate our large party...easier said than done.The restaurant was clean and airy with no smell of food from the kitchen. Placed our orders with each person wanting to try a different dish. Ordered the doubles as an appetizer...and as one member said tasted way better than having doubles in Trinidad...compliments to the chef. Food was served in a timely manner and arrived freshly prepared...portions were huge so much so that no one could finish their meal, and had to have it as take out. One member due to a dietary restriction, had their curried fillet of fish...specially prepared for him. The food was not bland as everyone pointed out with just the right amount of flavour and spices...Thank you Aneal for accommodating us and making our Friday dinner an experience we shall never forget...you deserve a 15 out of 10...we shall be back.
The best island tasting food that I had in a very long time . The roti is flawless , the curry is immaculate Vegetarian options: Their is vegetarian menu available as well
Whaaaaat?! This is THE place for your Caribbean fill! Jerk chicken, rice, coleslaw, oxtail, doubles ALL tasty and flavorful. You can feel the love that s behind the food.
Amazing food from friendly staff! The Chef makes it feel very homely! Highly recommend! Food : 5/5
Great service, delicious food! Will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Loved the doubles! Parking: Located in a strip plaza with a parking long
Always a good experience at the Steeles location. Definitely my new go to place for doubles! Staff is always very friendly. Always give a homely vibe! Food
Had the Jerk Chicken Roti, off the charts amazing...
Got the goat curry for myself and jerk chicken and rice an peas for my co worker and all I can say it was so good that we both forgot to take pics and scarfed the meals down. I m pretty particular about my goat curry and you can tell that this place takes the time to clean and prepare there meat. My co worker say the jerk chicken was really good and full of flavor and the small size is perfect for lunch. Can t wait to try something else. Vegetarian options: The Veggie soup is amazing
Ordered delivery 4 times now. Curry chicken roti is very good and filling (large portions) but the chicken needs to cook longer and they should add more potatoes. Jerk chicken is okay, the rice is good and flavourful Only gave one less star because my order was cancelled once without explanation and when I called the restaurant nobody picked up the phone (this was after several calls) Overall, would recommend!
I have eaten at both locations many times. The food is flavourful and healthy. The care not to over salt the food is appreciated with my ancestral propensity for high blood pressure. The roti is soft and heavenly. I adore the atmosphere in both locations. Neesha and Aneal are fantastic hosts and chefs. Having a Trinidadian father I want food just so and Neesha makes the skins just so! Vegetarian options: Delicious
The best roti around! Been going to Richmond Hill location for years and never had a bad meal. So glad they are opening more locations.
Best restaurant when it comes to great tasting food and portion size. owner also treats customers with respect. 10/10 experience
Food was quite tasty! stewed oxtail was blessed and the doubles was also very good.might come back and try another thing off the menu, try the hot sauce
Found this gem on Doordash! My wife is trinadian and weve been on the hunt for good roti around Vaughan without luck... Until now! Trinidadian wife approved.
Delicious authentic homemade food served in a pleasant atmosphere. Chicken was tender and portion was very generous. I highly recommend...watch out for the hot sauce...it has a flavourful kick!
Best Roti around, great service, and nice staff would recommend anyone go.
Hands down best roti in canada
The food is delicious !! I absolutely love the potato roti. Big portions with big flavor. Very clean place and nice staff. I recommend this place !!!
The lady who runs this place is a sweetheart. Goat roti and their doubles are unreal. If youre ordering takeout, call ahead. They make everything fresh so if you show up I. Person without ordering ahead, be prepared to wait. But the wait is also worth it
Excellent roti and hot is hot
