| - After a long walk through the Danforth, we went to Simone's for some jerk chicken as I've heard nothing but good things about this place (we were somewhat nearby as well)
I ordered the jerk chicken dinner and my girlfriend ordered the stewed chicken dinner - i must say, this is definitely one of the best carribean restaurants I've been to! The jerk chicken is actually somewhat spicy, and has a kick to it! It comes with some curry (gravy) which mixes really well with the rice and peas (beans). The cole slaw was a bit too watery for my liking, but was very good nonetheless!
The meat was fall-off-the-bone cooked, but not overcooked. The spices were definitely present, you can tell it was seasoned thoroughly, there wasn't a piece that was bland!
It had some green peppers to it, which I liked. My girlfriends stewed chicken had yellow and red peppers in it, which I thought was awesome!
Honestly, Simone's has set the bar ridiculously high to the point where all the local carribean places I go to will never be the same now. Will definitely be back when I find myself walking past the plethora of Greek taverns!
Price was a little high in my opinion.. Quantity was good over all, but I would expect a little more rice and cole slaw for the $30 for 2 meals. The other reviews kind of exaggerate the quantity, but the amount of chicken you get was definitely on the higher side!
5 stars all the way!
