Came here for their lunch special - chose rice and peas (actually beans), jerk chicken, and coleslaw. The price of this was apparently raised at the beginning of the year to 5.99+ tax (total 6.77).
The three pieces of chicken was flavorful and super tender - I cut the meat off the bone with a plastic spoon!
The rice was spicy, soft, and filling - I believe they match the rice and meat spice...

Very nice foods& lunch special & great portion !! And the staffs are friendly always. Unlike those chinatown restaurants, they are welcoming customers. Foods are little too salty however great foods ! :)
I have been coming here almost daily for the past few weeks. The food is amazingly good- it is absolutely delicious and well... Tasty! Their special is an awesome deal- salad, chicken and rice for $6. I have tried both their curry and jerk chicken and they are savoury. What makes this place stand out (thus 5* rating) is the pleasant and humourous staff at the counter. With great food along with... more
The dinner special here has saved my tired butt at the end of a long day many a time. Jacqueline and her husband are awesome. Every time I come in with my son Jacqueline gives him a treat (to the point that every time we ride past there - which is every day, since it's on our way home from daycare - he points to the restaurant and says "Wanna go see the lady!!") Besides that, the food is really... more
Walked over from College Station, looking for a quite bite to eat and Caribbean sounded good. I had the lunch special (jerk chicken, rice and peas, veg) while my fiance had the boneless chicken roti. Both very delicious, the name of the restaurant is very fitting. I usually don't like jerk chicken because even though the spices are good, the chicken is normally dry. Not this place! The jerk... more
Tasty, but deadly!
I ate the lunch special - jerk chicken, rice and peas, coleslaw, last Wednesday at lunch. It was cheap, it was tasty, it was fantastic. And then about 4 hours later, I started to feel terrible. Ended up in emergency, thinking I had picked up a tropical disease. 5 days of brutal diarrhea later, and appropriate tests came back with salmonella from Tasty's. So enjoy the taste,...

The food choices near the UofT campus is lacking to say the least, but boy is this place a diamond in the rough.
This has been my go to place for lunch ever since I discovered it. The $5.00 (+Tax) lunch specials are godsend when you're on a student budget. The portion sizes aren't the largest, but the food is delicious, especially the jerk chicken. If I'm extra hungry, I splurge a little and...

The food here is good, but their prices and portions are bad. The staff always has a tremendously bad attitude and its usually so off putting I go somewhere else.
It gets busy here around lunch so I would recommend going after peak hours
I'm a loyal fan of Ritz until I gave Tasty's a try due to its convenient location. I was not disappointed-- the lunch special is $4.99, and you get a decent amount of rice, chicken and coleslaw.
The chicken is juicy and soft, and the jerk sauce is amazing! Cooked to perfection. I've been back for dinner special as well, and it does not disappoint. Fast service for quick take-outs.
Will return...

I love this place. It has really delicious food for great price.
I've been going there everyday for the past year. I just can't find anywhere with better quality vs price balance than this place around UofT.
I am obsessed with this place! The jerk chicken is just so good. The lunch special at $4.99 ($5.64 with tax) is incredible value. I usually get the jerk chicken with rice and peas and coleslaw. The curry chicken is really good too.
The best Caribbean food I've had by far.
I've had their jerk chicken special and boneless chicken curry roti on 2 separate occasions.
It's really close to campus and it's take out which is convenient and the prices are INSANE! The jerk chicken lunch combo was around 5.50 INCLUDING TAX. Perfect portion size for a lunch. Included rice & peas & coleslaw.
The jerk was amazing. The spicy kick hits...

So good. The jerk chicken is definitely spicy enough, but the coleslaw is a perfect match to cool it all down. Combine it all with the rice and 'peas' (actually red beans) and you just can't fail!!
Very friendly family-run roti place with a good community feeling. There is also an artisanal cupcake vendor sharing the space.
I had an amazing first-time experience here today. The lady working the cash was so sweet and pleasant, and when my friend and I tried to order something as separate entities, she very helpfully explained how we could order all the things we wanted as specials and thus save money. The place was busy and had a lively atmosphere, but we still got a table. It's a takeout place, so the atmosphere... more
They opened last Friday. When I was ordering my food around 1pm I overheard a staff person say they were running out of jerk chicken.
It tasted ok, not too spicy which I appreciate. Quality was ok. Quantity was adequate. Price $8.05 + tax = $9.05 a lot considering it didn't knock my socks off!
For the walk over there I could eat in Kensington Market for about the same price or less.
Delicious food and great service! I had the $3.99 lunch special (11am-3pm) - jerk chicken (or you can have BBQ or curry), rice with beans and coleslaw, and ate it outside on a sunny day at a table on their mini patio... perfect! I also came right from the Elmwood Spa... at least after you spend $$$ at the spa you can come have a delicious inexpensive lunch. Yeah, the best things in life really... more
This place is small and unassuming. I've passed it so many times and seen it packed during lunch hours.Some how after going to the spa at Elmwood, I ended up having a big craving for Chicken Roti and could not pass it up. I walked in and asked for Chicken Roti and was happily greeted by a lady and the front steam table and a gentleman working the kitchen. True Jamaicans speaking Patois! I... more
