Mona's was Rock-n-Roll..i.n.g when we arrived with plenty of hands on-deck in the back kitchen rolling out an incredible amount of Fresh Roti Breads.  It was weekend dining hours so we got the orders and settled on one of their 2 Tables available for…More »

Question: Why would I go to a Caribbean Take-out shop in a plaza that is dominant of Sri-Lankan & Indian food? That is still a mystery to me but I still followed a man inside this shop that definitely looks interesting from the outside, although it…More »

P Jays is hidden.  Even all these years that I've driven on Kennedy road.  The tiny undesirable plaza it resides doesn't appeal to too many people as you see the barebone convenient store, a few chiropractors, an office here and there and less than a…More »

As my friend made the order to our super fun regular version "Fat Albert" waiter, he was definitely using his Superman Xray Vision to burn down my cup of Tea that I brought from outside.  He didn't say much until the end of our meal but it was pretty…More »

Ackee & Saltfish! No longer an Ackee & Saltfish VIRGIN as I got a small portion of Jamaica's national dish. I can see why it was only available for Breakfast before as the Ackee had Scrambled Egg consistency.

Ackee reminds me of a bit of Durian with…More »

Is the Patty spicy?  I asked the women as she passed the Patty to me.
The Patty is TASTY[sic].  As I take my Patty hesitantly as she replied.
She reconfirms me that it's a Beef Patty, as I would hate to find it Veg.

Patty... The essential quick meal in anybody's lunch list as a meat-loving spicy-high crispy flaky pastry.  This Patty King Bakery Factory in Scarborough almost looks out of place because they seemed to have more atmosphere than the clean-cold look…More »

I didn't have as good a time as the past Yelpers at Nicey's, maybe I am the ONE that tried what no one else comes to try.  I walked in and the decor makes it obvious that its a Caribbean take-out joint. What else makes it feel like that was that the…More »
