On December 30, 2023, I took the escalator to the food court and searched for something to eat. Suddenly, I saw this place, which is next to Mr. Greek. Out of curiosity, I walked towards the place and waited for my turn. Two female associates warmly greeted and asked for my order. Their tone was appropriate towards customers, although it was very busy in the area. So, I ordered a fried chicken meal (large). Note: I had to wait a few minutes. On the other hand, it was worth every second. Highly recommended spot for everyone. No discrimination, no separation, ONE LOVE

My first time visiting Caribbean food (RoyWoods) and being a Trini. I was greeted by Alex. I told him as an islander I was skeptical because we cook food at a very high standard, Alex basically echoed the same and the customer service with a smile and gratitude, even gave me a taste, the curry goat and shrimp is sumptuous, that’s an understatement, Any one visiting the food court, I strongly recommend stopping by, Alex and staff treated me warmly. They made my day and my stomach too...great job Alex, I hope your prosper with the business, absolutely fantastic. The ironic thing is i mentioned take out, food sooo good had to sit and eat, big up to Caribeean food!!! Thank you Alex for your kindness

Very friendly staff, gave me some samples so ended up with Oxtail Jerk chicken mix plate. Can add delicious plantain as add on for 2, got it fresh and hot only after few mins! Oxtail was super tasty and flavorful and the coleslaw was nice too! 20 but huge portions, lasted for 2 servings for me, highly recommended!

Came here on December 21, 2023. I have to say they nailed it. For reference I ordered the jerk chicken meal with coleslaw. The food was tender and delicious. They asked if I wanted oxtail gravy or jerk chicken sauce, which was new and they did skimp out on the sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and boneless so easy to eat as well. The coleslaw was creamy and really well done. I like a bit of spice so I got the house hot sauce on the side and it was the perfect compliment to the already flavourful food. And the cherry on top was the great service from the two ladies working at the front. Also I am biased but I say in front of the restaurant and the music was fire. That playlist was on point. Surprised there isn’t a bigger line at this place especially during December (Christmas shopping). I am not complaining.

Always down for a tender oxtail stew and this spot did not disappoint! I was so excited for the Jerk Chicken Tostones Sandwich too which can only be found at this Yorkdale location, the meat was super juicy with just the right amount of heat.

I ordered the oxtail with rice and it came with a side. The choices were coleslaw, plantain, fries, or festivals or mac & cheese. I got the mac & cheese, and it was delicious. The oxtail was really tender and juicy as well, though it was very salty overall, it was a really great dish and I would order it again.
