| - Simone's really spices things up by being one of the few Caribbean restaurants in the GTA where you can sit and enjoy a flavourful meal with plates, cutlery and all. Greektown isn't short on variety and this place is no exception. Whether you are staying or taking your food away, ordering here is nothing short of a classic experience, complete with furniture and decor that looks transported straight from a tiny island resort.
Must-try items:
Jerk chicken
Curry Goat
Cole slaw/Rice and peas
I'd been trying to check this place out for a while and finally made it in the late evening. You don't find many restaurants open until 11:00pm on a weekday, far less for ones that serve roti or festivals. Everything about this place is as laid back as you'd expect, in a good way. Jerk chicken was a no-brainer, and it doesn't disappoint at all. The curry goat is some of the most tender, well-seasoned meat I've sampled before. Simone definitely cooks with love and authenticity. 'Aunties home cooking' comes to mind, right down to the presentation.
Meat dishes seem to be their specialty, so I plan to try everything else on the menu. There is a patio in both the front and back of the restaurant, which expands choices for customers. My only issue was that all the windows and doors were open, leading to a bit of a nuisance with some unwanted flying guests. It would be nice if they could do something about that. Aside from that, this is a place you'll enjoy and want to come back to.
