Ended up in Scarborough this past Sunday so had to get my fix of Caribbean food and decided to get take-out from Sunrise as their jerk chicken never disappoints. The spot is extremely casual and the woman behind the counter was friendly and packed up my order to go.
I ordered the jerk chicken dinner (quarter chicken dark meat) with rice and peas with oxtail gravy, and the dinner comes with a small side of cole slaw. When I first discovered Sunrise years ago before it became a chain with several locations, their cole slaw was delicious and stood out from the rest of the restaurants. The cole slaw has changed with their expansion but nonetheless still creamy and good. I also bought an order of just oxtail. There is only one size and the styrofoam container was filled to the brim; it tasted great. Unfortunately, I have yet to discover a great Jamaican spot close to me downtown so I had to order the oxtail despite the cost of $11. Satisfied my craving.
I have always returned to Sunrise for take-out and my fix of Jamaican take-out over the years. It may not be the best, most authentic Jamaican food, but overall I am always satisfied when in need of comforting Jamaican food, which I rarely can get.
