Allwyn's in Toronto

large jerk chicken meal wasn t even large they give smalls on ubereats in the 2 for 1 and what s worse it tastes like garbage, extremely spicy no warning, dry chicken, bland rice and peas, coleslaw is just literal slaw it s not a salad no sauce at all. can t believe i wasted money on this

Nicely spiced jerk chicken! Most were soft but some were a little tough. You can get meat only jerk chicken for $11 (1/2 lb) or $18 (1 lb) in small take out boxes. Service was nice but I wished the portions were larger!

Horrible service from the guy at the counter. Doesn t know how to serve food and being nice.

Stuffed patty is pretty good 8.5/10 but I came at 7pm so that s pretty solid

Raw chicken on an uber eats order curry chicken roti

Really great chicken chicken sandwich. Rice and peas are awesome too. Price/quantity and quality is on point. I highly recommend. Wouldnt get the pork again though, the chicken is way better.

Sandwich needs oxtail gravy on the side to be good cuz the chicken dry and not enough spices but it was alright for sure. Also the price increasing 2 dollar in less than a year

Got rice and peas with oxtail. The rice was tasteless and old and oxtail also had no seasoning. Season! Season! Season! Gotta try the downtown location!

A couple of days ago, I had a disappointing experience with my curry chicken. It was very dry and had zero gravy. I posted a review expressing my disappointment. The owner of Allwyns reached out to me right away and offered me compensation. I was so surprised, as I didnt expect that type of response, if one at all. The meals came and were absolutely delicious....just how I remember Allwyns to be - fresh, tender, tasty and full of delicious gravy. Thank you so much Allwyns for your amazing customer service! See you soon.

Expensive and salty

Best jerk chicken Ive had in years. The patty was also delicious.

Always fresh and delicious

Allwyns patties have a sweet taste. Heating the patties in the oven makes them very flaky. Parking: You don t need a $6 paid ticket to exit the parking garage.

Their jerk chicken roti just tastes like salt... No real flavour. I couldnt finish it and Im the type of person who always tries to finish meals... Not an F but a D-

First time: Great tasting jerk chicken.

I enjoyed the beef patties which I ve bought multiple times before, but the jerk chicken was overly salty and pretty expensive considering the amount you get.

Jerk chicken sandwich

Great Jerk Chicken! Will definitely eat again if Im in the area.

Highly recommend the jerk chicken. It is slightly on the spicy side, but I got the jerk chicken with some coleslaw on a bed of rice. The lady also added in some oxtail curry which was incredibly flavoursome. Excellent comfort food!

Honestly, one of those places where I can say Allwyns jerk chicken sandwich is one of my guilty pleasures lol Coleslaw thats not to wet and their chicken all nice and juicy, and decently jerked, and placed between two slices of their coconut bread bun

Ive been ordering Allwyns for years, and have always been happy. But today, there was an issue with my order; an error made by the restaurant which is human and completely understandable. I called them and explained, and... oh the disappointment. After blaming the courier, it took another five minutes before they admitted it was their error. Then... they hung up on me. When I called back, they said they were busy and basically didnt have the time to deal with the issue. By then, I was not impressed. After promising to call me back (Im still waiting), they ghosted me. We all make mistakes, but when a service is offered, please be accountable and deal with it in a professional manner. Will not buy from them again. *** Second review*** Patricia, the manager/owner contacted me after this review. She investigated the issue while keeping an open line of communication. She went beyond my expectations while being utterly professional. Thank you, Patricia Yours loyally. Claudia

Love the jerk Sandwiches, can t get enough. Our dinner go to during busy week days

Great jerk chicken sandwiches

Great spot for some Jerk and Patties. Really like their Boneless Jerk Chicken, spice and flavour are on point. Jerk gravy and the Rice n Peas are awesome too. Beef Patties look better than they really are and can use some work as they don t have the flake nor taste of others that I find much better.

My go to spot for delicious ox tail !!! Must try with extra gravy!!!

Excellent customer service and amazing food

My Mother & I stopped by one sunday evening after grocery shopping at food basics. She got the Jerk meal and I the jerk sandwich. One of the best tasting jerk weve had in a while. I was very impressed, presentation was great, service was great and clean sanitary-wise. Id recommend anyone to go there

The stuffed beef patty is amazing! The portion was a lot bigger than I expected, I would definitely come back again!

Love thier patties

Jerk wings were so salty I had to take them back.

Good food, but poor service.

Best jerk chicken and beef patties in town

Cashier with glasses is very rude. I signed my autograph on the paper, but she got nervous and gave me bed grade on the Uber App.

Sunday evening your team of 2 guys delivered excellent service. The slew of online app orders and customer walk ins all handled fast and efficiently. The food was good. The patties were yummy and my highlight, I liked the chicken one so flaky and crispy. I prefered that one over the beef. The jerk chicken with rice and peas was also on point. I would return again and again for a simply good eats. Its tucked away in this centre that i happened to waltz in.

Nice place for some good Caribbean food.. tucked away in a small food court.

I ordered a large Jerk Chicken with rice and peas. The portion was small for a large. Also, the chicken was very spicy and the rice was bland.

Serving sizes def got smaller post pandemic - but place still slaps

Great roti!!! Portion size amazing!

This location has excellent service. The food was nice and hot and fresh. Highly recommend.

I usually go to the original store at Lawrence Ave., I just found out they have one at Yonge close to work. The food was really good and plenty for the price.

Prices have gone up significantly, far outpacing inflation. Too bad, used to be a gem.

Been here several times. The jerk chicken sandwich/rice and plantain has always been my favorite

Tried their large jerk chicken platter. It was delicious. Everything was perfect, portion was good too. Highly recommended!

Best consistency and quality

This Allwyn s is located in a busy little food court, which had other great restaurants as well. Food was fresh and tasty, the stuffed jerk sandwich is a must try.

Rude staff Your fault is not having the order ready within the pick up time when you know there is no parking available for pickup, secondly when asked why the order is not ready your staff said we cannot give you empty bag and started assisting walk in customer so hence rude. Anyways if yourself the owner does not know customer service then cant blame the staff.

Rude employees who dont seem to understand any language or any words. They accept orders from all online platforms and its always an easy 10-15 min wait for the rider. Either slow down on taking more orders than yoh can prepare efficiently or hire more staff. Utter disappointment

Best Jerk chicken sandwich in the coty

Used to love the food here. Recently the recipe has been off and the last two visits I couldnt stomach the patty. The mild was waaaay too spicy. This happened twice in a row out due to I believe a new employee not making it correctly. I cant do spices and have allergic reactions that last about a month when my tongue encounters spice. Its a seriously uncomfortable medical condition and for this reason I cannot risk my orders being messed up here. Sucks because I loved this place when I moved here 3 years ago.

Awesome sandwich (jerk chicken especially) must try!

Got food poisoning from the patty.

Ive ordered at least ten times before and loved it. Even my friend became a believer. However, when I ordered the curry goat roti for the first time on Nov 10, 2023, I got diarrhea. The food itself had burnt pieces in it like it was scraped from the bottom of a pan with old food. It didnt taste freshly burned. The lady asked us to go sit at the table and wait for the food to be prepared which Id never been asked before.

The service is 0 out of 10 don t go to this restaurant

The vegetable roti I got was the most dry and flavourless roti I ve ever had in my life. All you can taste was raw spices but no seasoning and the chickpeas were not even cooked properly. Beyond disappointed and it was overpriced too.

Very delicious Jerk Chicken!

Dang it that jerck chicken so delicious!!! I aint vegan, but even if I was, Id immediately renounce it for this lmao! SO GOOD

The jerk chicken is the best in the city

This place was our all time favourite jerk place for a very long time. But when we picked up jerk chicken and patties today and it s not how we remember it being. Meat portions have decreased, rice was mushier than usual, sauce was a lot less, and coleslaw tasted much more raw and different We will likely not return :( so bummed that our favourite spot is no longer good as we remember!

Ordered Large Jerk Chicken for lunch today. Tried it for the first time. I loved it. Keep up the good work guys

Nailed it. Great job Chef!

It didnt have a wow factor for me. I ordered the Oxtail with rice and peas , jerk chicken sandwich and patties. Food was dry, and didnt have much flavor.

So glad there s a closer location to my home. This place is legit pattys and jerk chicken sandwiches are amazing. Go try u won t be disappointed

It was nothing special

a little too farm to table, never had oxtail with hair still on it

Stale, old and rock hard coco bread and beef patties. Jesus Christ, paid for this through Uber and had to throw it out absolutely disgusting will never order from here again.

Amazing tasting food, cant go wrong with any menu item.

Great food and prices. Chicken in stuffed sandwich was tender. Fried plantain was good too.

Really good food. Parkings a bit of a pain, but if you buy takeout and eat some place else, its not a big deal. Big hardy portions, hot food, real soft goat curry meat on the bone. Not spicy at all...Beef patties are great, price is reasonable. Need to try the plantains next.

Had a jerk chicken sandwich, i remember it used to be good, buns were very moist and soft. However, when i got it today it was very dry and hard overall. I told the lady it was very dry and hard that i can not eat it( it was that bad). She said that they changed the bun to different brand, which she should of told me before i buy it. I ended up tossing to garbage after 2 bites. Such a waste of money.

Coco patty with oxtail sauce

Worst workers I have ever seen.

The portion and presentation are good. But I have to say this is not a real jerk chicken, no flavours and the coleslaw are tasteless too.

I m done with this place! Every single time I buy patties from them they give me the wrong kind. I always ask for Chicken and I always ALWAYS get Beef or veggie. This is now the 6 time in row this happened and this time is veggie! The sad part is that their food is actually good but the workers don t know what the f$&@ is going on so I m not sure you ll get what you ordered!

This is one of the best jerk chicken I have ever had. The chicken was soft and well made, it wasn t burnt at all. The coleslaw was creamy and delicious, and the rice wasn t dry and went well with the gravy! Their green salsa was amazing also and went well with the jerk chicken. I got a small jerk chicken with rice and peas, coleslaw, and jerk chicken for $10 + tax. Portions were good for a small size so the price is decent. Overall, I m really happy with it. Will definitely back!

Located inside building in a mini food type court with a bunch of other mini food type kiosks. A favorite meal place for the numerous constructions workers during their meal break. Ordered the large jerk chicken plate which is approximately twice the size of the small plate. All food items pre-cooked and displayed at front counter. Whole jerk chicken cut up into smaller pieces upon ordering. Jerk chicken spice creeps up on you after a couple of chews, nice warm tingly mouth feel. Cole slaw nice and creamy, rice & beans a little over cooked but tones down the spiciness of the chicken. Chicken, rice, coleslaw, all goes well together

My go-to spot for jerk chicken. They finally improved the gravy so the rice and peas now taste great!

Got the jerk pork rice and beans and a jerk chicken sandwich. The jerk pork portion was big. Tons of meat and rice. The spice on the pork slowly creeps up on you. The jerk chicken sandwich didnt have much flavor. I think if they added some kind of sauce, it would of made the sandwich much better.

Great spot for Jamaican curry goat and oxtail! Definitely on my favorites list

Jerk chicken with rice and peas, it was ok... hot sauce was super hot.

Allwyns has great roti, with a Ting its a beautiful thing.

Brilliant Jerk Chicken -super tasty - amazing flavour and moist - there is a reason this place is busy! Lovely lady who runs it let me try a piece of oxtail too as I was torn in what to order. I ordered the large and have enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Best jerk I ve ever had -

good place

Curry goat roti was soooo good!!!

Their stuffed sandwich is absolutely well done! Delicious jerk chicken with coleslaw stuffed into a delicious beef pattie and a coco bun. Their ox tail was too salty for my preference (i prefer it to have sweetness).

Yummy jerk sandwiches! The jerk and Patties are well done. I ve ordered oxtail here as well, and it is also prepared nicely, I just wish that they would give more;:). Their stuffed sandwiches are very filling. I will try their jerk wings next and see how they are! This is a regular spot as I live in the area. I ve also ordered through Uber and they have delivered hot fresh food, consistently.

My go-to and local Jamaican joint. The jerk seasoning is on point and their stuffed patty sandwich is delicious (and great value for the size of it)

Tasty and spicy. Large portion is not too big and good almost for one person.

We enjoy the jerk chicken/pork from Allwyns....havent been disappointed yet!! The pepper sauce is sooo good!

Best jerk chicken in the city, hands down!

Awesome jerk chicken, spicy and delicious. Patties are also good.

Very tasty! The patties are really good as well! A hidden gem!

Very good, I like it very good

I ordered their large boneless jerk chicken with rice and peas through Uber. First time, and man is it delicious!!!

Do not waste money on the Pattys, all crust no meat. The jerk pork and chicken wings was good

This place is always super busy and it s definitely because their food is delicious and prepared so quickly! Their stuffed sandwich was phenomenal, a little spicy for some but it was perfect for me! A very filling and cheap lunch.

So. Damn. Good! Ive ordered a few times and the food is delicious everytime. Highly recommend this place. The prices are quite reasonable too!

Tender jerk chicken. Fresh and yummy. Good value. Had it delivered via Uber eats. Good taste.

Awesome food and service. I recently moved to the area and since I work from home, this is now my go to place for lunch. Highly recommended.

Called in the order and it was ready to exactly when we arrived. Service was excellent and the food was great too! The hot sauce is a must have. Definitely recommend

Incredible spot!

Ordered the BOGO large boneless jerk chicken dinner and was sorely disappointed. The food was lukewarm, bordering on cold. The portion size was small for a large size item and the taste was not exactly overwhelming. Lacklustre flavour. Won t be ordering from them again. Better off ordering from a mom and pop West Indian restaurant.

Just moved into the area and finally got to try this place after hearing/reading about it for a long time. Definitely doesnt disappoint, stuffed sandwich is so good and so filling. The staff are always friendly and service is fast.

I really enjoyed the jerk chicken. I ordered off ubereats but was surprised some of the items on the main menu wasnt on ubereats menu. I also ordered a side order of Ox-tail. I was surprised that it was sitting in the bowl for so long and kept warm, that it was so tender and delicious when I took it home to enjoy 30+ minutes later! I was surprised by the portion size but was very satisfied afterwards. Definitely will come back here again.

Jerk chicken is flavourful and moist. Oxtail is solid and curry chicken was the weakest of the bunch. Not shown in the pics but they have good patties too.

Lacked flavor, the gravy was bad and chicken was dry. I do not recommend this place and will not buy again.

Worst oxtail I have ever eat, god knows why they can t hire a good chef. I will never recommend anyone to place a order from here if you love Jamaican food they are just fooling us

This is not jamaican food that is cook by a jamaican. This is some real nasty food. This is 100% cook by another nation. They shouldnt be labeling this food jamaican food. Does that picture below looks like curry goat.

Food is always delicious.

I was pleasantly suprised at how good the jerk was for a food court stand. Recommend the jerk chicken, rice and pea, and their curry rotis. Beef patty pastry recipe was unique in a good way. We ordered a takeout feast from here for a family and they had it prepped quick and without mistakes. Friendly helpful staff. Recommend.

The stuffed sandwiches so good,so addictive.

Nice people and food is delicious. Great place to take your friends when you want to grab a quick bite!

Ordered from this place several times, usually off ritual or UberEats cause of the promos they have. The first couple times, the jerk pork was really good.. moist and tender. This time around it was a little dry. Beef patty was stale and tbh probably the worst patty I had in a while lol prolly an old one that they re heated for me Unless youre really hungry, a large portion can feed two people. Ordered via UberEats (75% off promo + free meal over $30). So three large meals and a patty was about $12.

Delicious jerk chicken and oxtail. The service is always very friendly and quick as well.

Fast service and excellent food. Never disappointed when ordering from Allwyns. I recommend the Jerk Chicken and Rice

Food was quite average overall. Portion size was ok but I didn t get what I paid for. Paid $11 for a very mediocre meal. Will not be coming back here.

Best Jerk Chicken in TORONTO!

Juicy fresh and tasty jerk chicken sandwich

I am not sure how this place gets such high ratings. I am not one to leave negative comments, but I was totally disappointed today with my order. The rice was awful and the curry goat was too!

Cheap good food

Love Alwyns but the food quality at this location is not as good as the original on Underhill

Best Jerk Chicken Sandwich

The stuffed was amazing! A beef patties wrapped in coconut bread with jerked beef and coleslaw!

The location is very convenient (its in the lobby of the green emerald bldg at Yonge n Sheppard. I did not know they existed until recently and I have been living in the area for three years. Now that I know they exist I will be going there or sending my wife there to buy food if we are ever craving Jamaican food. I had the jerk pork n she had the curry goat. I loved my jerk port but she did not like the curry goat. I tried it and I agree, its nothing to write home about. We also bought half a pound of jerk chicken and the jerk chicken was so far the best Ive had in Toronto. I know...I know thats a big claim but I can back it up.

Godlike sandwich

Jerk chicken and pork here are really good with acceptable prices!

My wife and I ordered from Allwyns last weekend and we were not disappointed. Fantastic jerk chicken and jerk pork. Will definitely be a return customer.

The jerk chicken is amazing. I love it with their delicious coleslaw.. The price is very reasonable and the food is great. Havent had a chance to try other things. Next time I will definitely be trying more things on their menu..

Delicious, affordable and in big portions! Allwyns completes the ultimate takeout trifecta. My favourites to order are the: jerk chicken rice and roti, patties and fried plantains.

Huge portion of curry goat roti and spicy jerk wings.

Worst oxtail and rice & peas i ever ate in my life. It had no flavor or taste at all. It is not even Caribbean people that make the food.

Great! Get the stuffed sandwich!

Now they have the second one which is located at Yonge and Sheppard

We made an order via Uber Eats. When it arrived, the order was wrong. We had to place an order again but the food was tasteless and very very bad. We ordered from this restaurant based on the Google rating, but the food is no where close to 4.6 stars. Its a 2 star food at most. Im being nice with my 2 star suggestion. It deserves 1 star.

Not so tasty goat

Bland and inauthentic

Food is consistently great! Price is just right! Staff are extremely nice!

I just ordered 4 dishes through Uber Eats. When we received the order, one of the food containers had a big hole in the bottom and rice fell out of it!!! I am not impressed at all.

Order first time on Uber Eats! Excellent!!!

Great food, great people.

Roti.... is.... amazing..... get roti here if you like amazing. If you dont. Well I just feel sorry for you... my bad....

Good food decent prices in the Yonge an Sheppard area. Well worth it

Amazing food

Ordered on UberEATS. Jerk chicken was some of the best Ive ever had. Gravy was also delicious. Great value, great service. Will be ordering from here again.

Sandwich is a 10/10 value. Jerk pork is 7/10

Great value for the volume of food given, it tasted great and the service was excellent. Definitely a hidden gem, I will for sure be coming here again!

Ive visited this location about 5 times, customer service is good, speed of service all depends on the time you go, Ive only had to wait long once (they were getting numerous Uber orders). Prices are fair, Ive tried their beef patties, jerk chicken sandwich and the jerk chicken dinner.

While I enjoy the Etobicoke location, the jerk pork from this location just didn t hit the mark. The pork was dry (both the meat itself and the fact that it had no sauce/wetness). The only gravy we got was the side (about 1oz) that we paid $1.50 for. Coleslaw was good and rice and peas were good too so I ll give it 3 stars. Didn t get cutlery with the order as requested.

Ordered over two hours in advance for delivery through Uber Eats. The delivery time came and went, and the order was delayed three times. Over half an hour after the delivery time, the order was cancelled without explanation.

Tastes amazing and great price. Cant go wrong.

The chicken melted in my mouth!

jerk chicken sandwich and half lbs pork were awesome and the price was competitive.

I ve never had chicken this tender before. I must honestly say this deserves a 5/5 star rating. Keep it up!

Got the jerk chicken sandwich, extra jerk chicken and oxtail with rice and peas. Was definitely filling and the portions were good. Prices are reasonable. Would recommend!

I had the jerk chicken sandwich it was so amazing

Same great taste as their other location. Glad theyre opening more stores because this jerk chicken is too good to not be shared with more of Toronto. This location takes debit so thats a plus :)

Best jerk chicken and Caribbean restaurant in Toronto.

I am glad I went in to try the food. Great flavor, fast service, good price. What else can you ask for. Tricky to find but it is in the food court of the emerald building. Definitely going back for some more of that jerk chicken.

Delicious jerk chicken and jerk pork! Service is quick and friendly. The food is priced well.

Good quality and reasonable price.

They have the best patties here. Highly recommend

Not bad. Food wasn t great for the price I paid. There is better Jamaican food in the city

Best jerk chicken in town!!

Jerk chicken is outstanding. Juicy and tender, great with rice or roti. A great addition to Yonge and Sheppard.

Delicious food and lovely service

the food is exceptional, good prices, & the staff is so nice and friendly

Poor customer service and bad attitude

Good food, good prices

Great food, excellent value for dollar. I am from Guyana, everything I ate was excellent, jerk, ox tail, and curry chicken. Well done!

Wicked jerk chicken

Want to check out Jamaican food? Start here at Allwyns with a Stuffed Sandwich which really should be called The Triple Threat (or Treat) because this inventive star does it all. First, it has all the right stuff with jerk, patty, coco bun and coleslaw. Second, it looks good, smells good, is a fun slobbery mess to eat and tastes great. Third, for a sandwich, it fills you up, all for under $6 plus tax, thus taking home the five star grand prize with a dominating performance. Tried out the jerk pork with peas and rice with coleslaw and the same moist nicely spiced pork for the sandwich makes for a good conventional Jamaican dish. Nice people here too. Cash or debit only. Worth seeking out (especially in the cold of winter February 2019) in the food court on the West side of the ground floor of the Emerald condo buildings off Yonge St. The live trees here make for a nice buffer to the activity at lunch time and you get the added amusement of having your table wobble gently everytime a subway train passes by underground. Check out that sandwich!

Wow! One of the rare times something amazing was suggested to me on Facebook (Thanks Blog.TO!). My first order here was 1lb of Jerk Chicken and a large rice and peas. It fed me for lunch, and made for a great snack for 4 of us that evening. And I must reiterate, WOW! It was delicious, tender, authentic and just what I was missing from all other local delivery options. My oven recently broke, and Ive been stuck eating take out until the replacement arrives. And this was the first meal in ages that gave me the satisfaction of a delicious, hearty home cooked meal. I also ordered a half dozen patties, and as something of a Patty Connoisseur, I have to say, these are the best around (Yes, maybe even better than Warden AND Bathurst station!). I really cant sing this places praises enough, just what the Doctor ordered. Pro Tip: Get extra gravy and dump a bit on the rice, it turns good rice, into the best youve tried

Always consistent with Jerk Roti, jerk sandwich. Delicious dishes.

Thx for the great bday food..was super tasty...we all enjoyed except yall forgot a few of the drinks we ordered overall..Ill be back lol

$5.5 for one amazing sandwich !!!

I know this review will get lost amongst the 5 star reviews but we were pretty disappointed today. Is it because its a Sunday? Ordered two triple threat sandwiches. The coco bread was so dry, the patty also nothing special if not too salty. Jerk chicken was alright. It was just mediocre. Usually not such a harsh critic. May try again on a weekday?

So happy Allwyns opened a location near me! Ive heard good things about their food and they didnt disappoint. The jerk chicken sandwich which includes a patty and coleslaw is a must try! We have had this sandwich quite a few times and its always consistently good.

This place is the bomb. Love the jerk chicken on coco bread with coleslaw for 6 bucks. Tasty! Would go back!

Still good and always good quality Been going here since it first opened It never let me down on quality Always on point, Allwyns

#1 jerk!.

Honestly, Roti was good but I basically ate curry paste. I wonder if this was the last order of the night and couldnt be bothered to finish the night off strong? It was dry and absolutely flavorless. I was taken on by all the 5 stars reviews.

My family is addicted to the jerk chicken. Make sure you get it with cole slaw

So disappointing. I ordered oxtail, with a side of extra gravy (which comes in a small container for $1.75). The oxtail has no flavour, even with the extra gravy and scotch bonnet hot sauce I added. The side of fried plantain was dry and stale.
