Don't waste your time or your money.This place is garbage doesn't even taste authentic.The curry doesn't even taste like curry.The jerk chicken doesn't even taste like jerk chicken.It is all completely wrong and the portion sizes suck. I bet it's an Indian couple that owns this place anyways probably not even from jamaica And obviously has no clue about cooking caribbean food. They've got the taste all wrong.

Food is generally good. Jerk is nice. The oxtail was a huge disappointment. We ordered a large and got 4 tiny pieces of oxtail. Insane.

Best jerk chicken and oxtail I have ever had. Super juicy, flavorful and tender meat. Great sauce. Amazing patties too.

I was expecting a lot from this restaurant, but got a little disappointed. we came in almost 2 hours before the closing time I feel like the chicken is too dry and ox tail has more bones than meat. I read the reviews regarding the music in this place, but man! it's so loud it's so hard to hear that you have to talked louder, I have my 3 year old with me and she cannot concentrate eating because because she's so bothered of the loud music and the customer service is awful maybe that's why he's blasting the music 'cause he doesn't want engage with his customer Maybe I will give it another try some time, I will try to come in early and see if the experience will be different

I was so looking forward to tasting this food! well I was so disappointed, I purchased 2 mix meals oxtail and fry chicken and a slice of cake..It was so over priced over 75 dollars ok figured the food would be good, looking at the container and food thrown in the container first turn off what a mess..the oxtail was taste less and looked like the gravy was thickened with something, the rice grains were tough and swimming in thus tastless so called gravy..The chicken I didn't bother to taste..what a waste of my money, Never going back..Give Jamacian food a bad name..Sorry but very disappointed and turned off..

This is a close location to me so I may come once in a blue moon. Honestly, the food is hit and miss. I have had wonderful meals here and not so much. The customer service isn’t great. They barely speak and it’s hard to hear them over the music they have blasting. The music isn’t ALWAYS blasting but a lot of times it is. The gravy is always good. Portions are usually large. The coleslaw is fantastic. Salt fish hit or miss. It’s a gamble. Restaurant is pretty clean

Today I stopped in for some beef patties, which were amazing! So juicy and so flaky. On my way out I was talking to Wayne(owner), told him it was my first time checking out the joint. I also mentoned to him the beef patty was amazing, I had already gotten into them lol. He was such a chill dude, he offered me small Jerk Chicken with rice and peas on the house to try!! Super nice of him to do that. Great people, great food. Good vibes too with the reggae music. The Jerk Chicken was fire too of course!! Thanks again! Respect.

Always wanted to try this place so I walked in the lady was just sitting, I said hi, no response, she took a while to get up, her whole mood and attitude was bad its like she was paying me to buy her food, she finally got up I ordered my food.. the food sucks, I tried the rice it was horrible, I tried the jerk chicken even worst, I literally just tossed it all out, bad attitude, bad atmosphere and bad food, never going back.

December 21, 2023

First and last time .Made my order on Uber and was so excited for the food to come. Opened the box and was so shocked as to why would someone put so much gravy on the food. The rice was swimming in the gravy and I didn t order extra gravy. Ok fine, I thought, maybe the food is yummy but then I started to eat and was so upset by the taste. It was too salty and the BBQ sauce was off. I tried eating because I didn t want to waste my money but I couldn t go on. Ended up throwing the whole thing in the garbage. I was so disappointed!

December 21, 2023

Rice tasted like from the day before, chicken was dry and flavorless, oxtail had no taste either and was unappetizing. The box holding the food was cheap quality and cant even maintain its shape.

A Friend told me to try this place, and it did not disappoint. 6 minutes east from Sheppard West station. This is easily the best carribean/ Jerk food that I had in North York. Full of flavour.

Once and never again. Zero customer service. When you walk in dont expect to get a hello or thank you. The first picture is before I started eating and the second is what I threw away. The peas were the only edible thing about this dish. The rice was dry and tasted like it was made yesterday, the chicken was undercooked and topped with BBQ sauce. Though there was enough pepper used there was no blacked skin that Im used to with jerk chicken. My friends ordered patties and both ended up throwing them out because they didnt smell right. How can you go wrong with patties??? I dont understand how there are so many positive reviews.

December 21, 2022

Arrived at 8:38pm today. They were not open. The sign clearly shows open 10am to 9pm daily. Update: went here again a different day and I had a large bbq dinner. I immediately felt sick and threw half the dinner out in the store. I felt nauseous the entire way home then vomited an hour later.

Not the best Jamaican food from a taste standpoint. You can tell they arent chefs, but make middle of the road food. The rice and peas is always a bit mushy and lacks that special something. The chicken isnt that flavorful either. Nanalyns strong point is its price and portion size -- you will absolutely have food for the next day haha. To sum it up, if you arent looking for the best and are just hungry: stop by! If you really want something amazing, look elsewhere

I got the oxtail and overall, it was a good experience. The meat was a bit tough and I feel like there could have been a bit more flavour. The rice was a bit overcooked as well. The biggest reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars is the price point was a bit high for the amount of food. The small (pictured) was $10 something, but I understand the pandemic may have bumped the price up a bit. It was a good lunch.

Went to get lunch here today 20-21, I have no complaints about the food but the staff and pricing. $10 for small and $15 for large plate, choose wisely if you re a heavy eater like me(don t go for the medium size, there will just be a two spoonful more than small and less from large) The guy behind counter didn t even say a word since I got in, said what I want and paid. The location is good, very quiet and no low lifes hanging around, I don t know about the nighttime tho. Sorry, two stars for now.

WOW!!!!!!! The jerk chicken here is amazing!!!!! It is very tender and flavourful. I got the lunch special which came with rice and peas, jerk chicken and coleslaw. The portion was more than generous and very filling. The hot sauce here is amazing. It is kind of like a scotch bonnet hot sauce, use it sparingly. The best part of it all was that it came to $6.25.

We tried this place for the first time day and left with nothing but a great experience. Our order was: 2 curry rotis (one jerk the other chicken curry), 2 dumplings and 1 rum cake. The roti dish was a 20 minute wait but 10000% worth it. There was a lot of depth in the flavours of the curry sauce and the roti was fresh made a bit on the thicker side but thats what made it amazing. The potatoes in the roti were well done (not too soft or too stiff) The dumplings were soft with a crunch on the outside but not overly salty or sweet. The Rum cake was one of the best Ive ever had. It was so moist but not overpowering, the perfect balance of flavours. Truly a wonderful experience and we are excited to go back in the future (hopefully the quality of food will be consistent)

Tried the Jerk chicken and the Chicken Curry Roti. The Jerk chicken had a real nice depth of flavor. I could tell that they take their time to marinate it properly. The curry chicken roti (bone in) was amazing. The chicken was super juicy, the curry sauce was super flavorful. They even have a nice scotch bonnet hot sauce. We also tried the dumplings and the rum cake. The rum cake was so moist and tasty. Amazing spot. Give it a try. Seems like a family run joint. A gem in the hood.

I absolut can not agree with the last review Complete not. After i visited over 70 Jamaican places here my review of this one ; I come in first time than I i asked for a small sample of oxtail and curry . Which was friendly given to me. Right away i was jumping in the jamaican heaven after i tried curry goat i was was thinking the oxtail cant top it nobody can. Than i tried oxtail and guess what Jackpot lottery win boath dishes a just unbelivable goood. Now i know I dont need to go to Jamaica i have Jamaica here I gonna put this place in my List beetween place 1-3 of 70 places in Toronto doesnt matter 1 - 2 - 3 its just a Winner here in Toronto.

One of the best Jamacian AND Ubereats experiences! AMAZING taste. Usually have problems concerning food quality and missing items with Ubereats but this restaurant overdelievered by far. Decided on Nanalyn s after reading all reviews and I must say I am glad I did. Both the meat on the jerk chicken and oxtail are falling off the bone and very tender(not bbq d), and even their patties are delicious(flaky and sweet pastry and spicy beef). Very authentic, savoury taste. The coleslaw serving is small so I suggest ordering more on side because pretty tasty(there s also two different flavours of it depending on what you order. The rice and beans could be better though because there wasn t many beans and the type of rice wasn t the best quality but honestly for the price and compared to other delivery places I m not complaining. The festivals are fantastic, super crunchy and a good price(2/$1) as are the plantain(2/$1). We got the large size for all meals and it was a great portion for the price. On a side note, I called before ordering and the lady who answered was very sweet and helpful(I ask a lot of questions because I ve had many bad experiences with delivery). Best Jamaican experience on Ubereats, hands down.

It was overall great food and pretty authentic. It had limited seating and wasnt very clean when arrived (may have gone through a lunch rush). The rice/beans was a bit dry but the jerk chicken with sauce and coleslaw were great.

Food portions nd prices dont match up, $7 for a small BBQ chicken, in a container thats smaller than every other restaurant charging $5 for the same thing but with more. I definitely wont come back, the rice and peas have no flavour, the BBQ sauce is all sugar and the chicken wasnt cleaned. Why am I biting into the thigh and spitting out marrow? No thanks! Never again!

Good food, decent sized portion for the price. They have some pepper sauce on the counter that I suspect is house-made, its delicious and nice and spicy.

Make certain that you receive the amount of food that you will be paying for. The food is okay, but instead of putting the food in the wider and deeper section of the Styrofoam container the lady put my food and someone elses food in the narrower and shallower section of the container. As the locking mechanism was upside down and the recycling symbol was seen at the top of the container, it was clear that the container was placed upside down, and the food was therefore in the lid. This left us with a lot less food than we paid for. Upon discovering this, I approached the young man at the cash and asked why that was done. He went on to ask me if I would like more rice added. Another first time customer ended up stepping in to clarify to him that I would like more of everything in my container (not just rice). This completely ruined my experience. I also did not receive an apology, which made it obvious that this act was intentional. So, please pay close attention if you choose to purchase food from this establishment.

This Jerk spot is seriously good, especially at the price point. They have daily lunch specials for $4.99. The jerk chicken is one of my favorites (possibly by favorite) in the city. Nanalyns jerk chicken is on par with some of the best spots in Toronto like Allwyns and Rasta Pasta. Beef patties are great too. The roti is a little doughy for my liking, and I have not yet tried the oxtail but have heard good things

Was so looking forward to authentic curry goat and oxtail, but was sooooo disappointed. I love finding small local authentic mom and pop locations, but this will not be a local go to for Caribbean food. It only got 2 stars because the coleslaw was tasty. I was so disappointed by the rice and beans (tasted like bad parboiled uncle Bens rice), and the oxtail and curry goat were meh... compared to so many other great places in the city. Unfortunately for me, this was the worst Caribbean meal Ive had in Toronto for curry goat and oxtail :( Will not be going back...

I moved into the area a while ago and have been at Nanalyn s at least once a week since. Everything I ve had has been good! The jerk chicken, curry goat and snapper (my fav) with fried dumpling, all delicious. I loved that they fry fish to order so it s always fresh, call 15 min before you get there if you can but totally worth the wait. The cashier is really friendly and service was great AND on Uber eats which was a bonus but portion is better when you take out yourself.

I love their Curry Goat and Ox tail Jerk. The price is also reasonable. The only downside is its always packed with kids from a nearby high school during lunch, so you have a hard time finding seats.
