This is a hidden gem in Scarborough that serves Caribbean cuisine. Their authentic Jamaican is also served Halal to accommodate everyone’s needs. Not only is the food delicious because of its unique flavours but the ingredients are fresh too.

A customer favourite is their jerk chicken. The chicken skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Their seasoned sauce is drizzled on top of the meal to give it that extra flavour. A side of coleslaw comes with this dish as well. The coleslaw is the perfect amount of sweet and creamy.

Another popular option is the oxtail dish. It takes a bit of work to get the meat off the bones but it’s worth it for the delicious taste. The oxtail is well marinated with a blend of Carebian spices and the aromatic curry is a definite plus with this meal.

For those looking for a quick snack, we recommend getting the fried plantain. Made from a starchier type of banana it’s the perfect ingredient for a fried dish. This snack is crispy and sweet at the same time. The chips come in a bright yellow and have a bit of salt sprinkled on top for a nice bit of flavour.

When you want to try something different though why not go with the coconut jerk shrimp pasta. This dish is served with rice, peas and coleslaw. It’s one of the few dishes here where coconut is the main ingredient and it really elevates the flavour of the meal. Plus the shrimp is seasoned very well and has a great flavour to them.
