This is some seriously delicious Caribbean food in Leslieville.
The walls of this joint are decorated with old reggae records and definitely make the place feel a lot warmer and inviting than the old Queen Pita that occupied this space for as long as I can remember.
We started with the jerk chicken salad with avocado. The chicken and salad were a great combination - the right mix of greens and tomatoes with the deliciously-spiced chicken. A bit more chicken would have been appreciated.
We shared oxtail stew and curried ram as our mains which were served with rice and peas. Both dishes were rich and meaty and had us licking the bones wanting more.
We washed everything down with over-proof rum and ginger beer. A great combo. :)
I'd definitely recommend The Hummingbird to anyone who is looking for authentic Jamaican food in a comfortable setting in the east end.
