Unbelievably good!
I came here hungry after a hockey game because the food looked really good on Yelp.
I ordered the jerk chicken dinner - it's about $10 and change but you definitely get your money's worth!
The rice is basmati rice instead of parboiled rice. Such a game changer with the rice and peas because it absorbs the gravy really well!
They give you 3 fried plantains which was a really nice touch! Most places will barely give you 1 let alone 3. They weren't crunchy or over cooked - they still had a very authentic banana taste. I are these first but wished I saved it for later.
I had 2 thigh pieces and a leg, all smothered in gravy. You can really taste the sweet and spicy hits of jerk seasoning and the steamed vegetables tend to absorb the flavour of the gravy when it's covered!
I ended up eating the chicken before the rice - this chicken was really well cooked for jerk chicken; it had flavour not just on the outside but the inside as well. Amazing!
The rice mixed with the gravy and leftover pieces of shredded chicken was what made me realize this place knocked it out of this world!
This place is well out of my way but the next time I find myself in North York, I'm going to make my way down for some delicious food! Can't wait to try the jerk shawarma and poutine next time!
