This place is a little hole in a wall in a strip mall, but it is some of the most delicious Jamaican food. We got the curry goat, and a roti that was so flavourful and the perfect amount of spice, we got some coleslaw and then I got the stuffed sandwich which is a patty with coleslaw and jerk, chicken meat wrapped in a cocoa bun. It is such a magical assortment of textures and flavors. Always worth the drive! read more

Nice takeout option.Prices were reasonable. If you're hungry, you'll love their large portions. My rice and peas with chicken curry was enough for two meals. I went at the end of the day, so they were out of some things like beef patties. But the curry with rice and peas was satisfying. It tasted good, though it wasn't spicy. I'd choose this over fast food any day. read more

THE WORST JAMAICAN FOOD!! Ordered via uber eats and the jerk chicken was INEDIBLE. Dry as rubber and looks like it been sitting all day. Don't accept any late night orders if it's the end of night and you serve this garbage. Also not to mention the rice n peas was DRYER than a dessert. I feel robbed of my $20. I want a REFUND since uber eats won't help me. read more

As a Toronto institution for Caribbean food, Allwyn's has quite the reputation and I'm happy to report that it does live up to the hype. I tried the jerk chicken sandwich and a patty - both were fantastic. The sandwich had beautifully juicy spiced chicken with heaps of coleslaw (not too much mayo or vinegar, it was just right) all wrapped up in some pillowy coco bread. The patty was also well done, perfectly flaky and crispy on the outside, nice and doughy on the inside, and filled with perfectly spiced beef. Overall, a great meal - I'll be back for sure. read more

This is a great takeout spot and keeps well in the fridge so stock up! I particularly love their jerk chicken option. It's just so comforting with the right level of spice accompanied by flavourful rice and the slight sweetness of the coleslaw. Usually, I find places that make coleslaw drowned in sauce more of an afterthought but this coleslaw is great and perfectly pairs the meal. If you're looking to pick up a meal that can keep well in the fridge, this would be a great option. I would buy a couple of meals in advance. Sometimes you'll catch a BOGO deal (might be a first time customer thing). read more

Best Jerk Chicken Sandwich, for the best price! Allwyns is literally the best kept secret in the city! The sandwiches are such great value, it's a big portion and delicious, definitely worth a visit! Such great prices, quality food & Friendly staff! read more

My first experience here was both a hit and miss. We ordered a small curry goat dinner (comes on rice and peas with coleslaw) and the jerk chicken roti. The curry goat was delicious, with the meat falling off the bone and a great flavor. Unfortunately, I found the rice and peas to be bland and soggy (possibly due to the coleslaw?). Wish that the accompaniments lived up to the curry. The jerk chicken roti was much better as an overall experience. Large chunks of yummy chicken in a generous wrap. The only miss was that all the hot sauce was in the middle of the wrap, so it was all of a sudden very spicy when you got to it. read more

Still maintaining the same top score from my last visit. I am updating to report that I've tried the stuffed sandwich (with a beef patty inside) and found it to be a lot, with the spiced beef filling a bit overwhelming. I'll stick with the standard jerk sandwich moving forward read more

Can't go wrong with the Jerk Chicken Sandwich here! Spicy, cruncy, smokey jerk chicken balanced with a refreshing bite of coleslaw. Ever since I was introduced to this a few weeks ago I've been getting it at least 3x a week! Every single time, the quality is on point, food is delicious, and price is reasonable! The service is quick and the location is more of a take out spot than dine in. Staff are friendly. What more can you ask for? read more

Came here for lunch. I feel like when I'm searching for good Caribbean food, I'm disappointed like 50% of the time. When it's good, it's really good but when it's not, I'm left thinking "why did I do this?" Allwyn's rewarded my choice to walk quite a bit to get it! Got the small jerk chicken plate with rice & peas. It was fantastic! The jerk had some kick to it which I really appreciate. Jerk has to be spicy for me. Generous portion of chicken. Came with some cole slaw too. The slaw / rice&beans are not bad but nothing to write home about. But I came for the jerk chicken, not for that. Best part is the cost on the menu for the small portion is $10.75. This was a great deal and my cravings were fulfilled! No wait when I showed up, fast service. read more

Had the jerk chicken, jerk pork, and a beef patty. Well seasoned, super delicious. Convenient place with fast service. Will order and pick up again. Not so much of an eat-in place from the looks of it, but I'm judging from seeing it post pandemic. read more

Delicious! You can feel the love cooked into this food. This is the type of food that you get a craving for, my mouth is watering typing this review (TMI but oh well). Love the veggie roti and hubby always gets the jerk chicken with extra gravy on the side. Their coco bread is also delish and bae loves getting their spicy patties sandwiched in between - try it, it's amazing. I also really like their coleslaw too. While I've not yet visited Allwyn's in person (we order via Uber Eats), I look forward to stopping in to visit someday in the near future. Thank you Allwyn's for being awesome! read more

I had lunch today at Allwyn's Best Caribbean Jerk. It opened about two months ago. I ordered a curry chicken roti and ate it there. The roti was stuffed with chicken, potato and carrot, which was great. The curry wasn't overpowering. The roti had powdered stuff in between the layers (cornmeal maybe?) that was a bit too much. Though the roti was stuffed, it would have helped to have a bit more sauce to make the roti more enjoyable because of the powdered stuff. read more

I'm not sure why the reviews on this place is so bad. The portion size of their food is good, their chicken/pork with rice and peas is amazing, and the price is very reasonable. I agree that the meat patties could have had more meat in it but I'm not sure how much meat is suppose to be in an actual authentic Jamaican patty that's not from North America. It could be just like the Pho situation in North American where there is way more meat in the dish than it ever did in Vietnam. Overall, I love getting food from this place as a quick, cheap, and delicious meal. read more

A friend gets Allwyn's catered every week at work and decided to order for me as I've heard amazing things. I got the small jerk chicken on rice with coleslaw. This was so delicious!! The chicken is cut into nice, easy to eat chunks and it's full of meat and not just bones. The chicken itself is super well cooked and moist, and I can tell it is cooked in the jerk seasoning for a while because I could taste it within the meat and not just from the outside. It was very fragrant and well seasoned which is what I love when ordering jerk chicken. It was decently spicy as well. For some reason some places don't automatically give the gravy with jerk chicken, but Allwyn's does which made the rice and peas less bland and combine cohesively with the chicken. I love authentic Caribbean joints that make super simple coleslaw, and Allwyn's does that. Works great to cut the heaviness of the rest of meal. I will definitely go into an actual location to try the Jamaican patties and jerk chicken sandwich with coco bread. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys this cuisine or chicken in general! read more

Great spot for some super quick cheap eats. They are a take out place with very few bar seating on the side. I tried the jerk pork sandwich and it was great value. The coleslaw was fresh and great addition to the meat. The pork is sliced thick, and you get the juicy meat on every bite. I wished there were more jerk seasoning on the pork, really missing the spice. It's not my favorite jerk spot but still a decent place for a filling meal for less. Would probably come back to try some other items on the list. read more

Ordered their jerk chicken dinner (large size) for $13 after tax and I'd say it was worth it! Very reasonable pricing for the amount of food you get in the box. This was shared between two people and we were satisfied. Chicken was chopped up and I like how I didn't have to worry about bones or picking it up with my hands to bite it off. The chicken itself is tender and wasn't dry at all! Coleslaw was a nice compliment to the meal and the sauce had the perfect amount of spice. The shop is quite small though, very limited seating so this spot is more of a grab and go. Will definitely come back as I heard their jerk chicken sandwich is also good! read more

Allwyn's Bakery - Jerk chicken dinner (large size): $13 after tax. - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A Toronto classic. This location serves the same great quality as the original does. A quick lunch is still cheap and tasty. Grab a jerk chicken or pork with coleslaw in a coco bread with a patty on the side. If you want something more substantial for dinner, I highly recommend the curried goat. But I still always get a side of the chicken or pork. read more

Allwyn's has cropped up at an address that can't seem to hold a business very long. I hope they can break the curse. It's a no frills Caribbean spot serving all the classics (minus ackee fish). It's more of a takeaway spot than a dine in, but they do have limited seating area. I got the half pound of jerk chicken with oxtail gravy. The chicken itself is tender and juicy, without dripping in grease. The oxtail sauce is rich and comforting. Honestly it's pretty standard stuff. The food definitely didn't blow me away, but it hit the spot, it's reasonably priced, and it's quick. I'd come back if I was craving Caribbean food and happened to be in the area, but wouldn't necessarily travel for it. My impression is that most of their sales are through couriers, so there's always that as an option. read more

We ordered a stuffed sandwich, which was delicious! Would recommend getting the sauce on the side, but warning- it is quite picante. The jerk chicken was flavorful, the patty was good. Will definitely come back to try more! read more

First off, I grew up in Scarborough eating patties all my life so I think I know what a good patty taste like. Honestly, I was really disappointed when I had the patty here. As you can see from the photo, the filling was like a half done spread and all I tasted was the dough. No the filling did not pool at the bottom. There was barely any at all, and the dough overpowered the filling. It was not enjoyable and I threw it out. Staff were friendly and service was quick, but I won't be coming back. read more

They Have THE BEST JERK CHICKEN EVER! Super tender, juicy, flavourful, spicy and did I said moist and tender? With those hidden spicy pickled onion in a coco bread and coleslaw sandwich! I have been back to this place 3 times in 3 week... I don't understand why people rate here so low because of their patties? You can't judge one thing for the whole picture. Who will rate McDonald low because you only had cold fries? You go for the chicken nugget and double cheese burger ok? People need to understand what signature dish in a restaurant is before they order some random stuff and complain the whole thing was bad. Best jerk chicken ever. Another thing about this jerk chicken place is that you get to see they use the whole chicken fillet. Some jerk chicken place use bad quality chicken and cheap ingredients because they think the intense flavour and slow cook texture will cover the bad quality, but this is not the case in this place! read more

Verdict: I'll be back --- Alright, you're probably seeing a 3-star review here and wondering why I'd go back, right? Well I'll beak it down... The coco bun I had was different, in a good way. I really enjoyed the bread and it tasted fresh, buttery, milky, good! The coleslaw was a little messy, but it served as a nice cooling agent against the "spicy" patty. Now you must be wondering why spicy is in quotes... Well it's because I asked for hot and at best it was mild. Now onto the actual patty... I felt like the dough to meat ratio was on the weak side. A lot the bites I took felt like they were mostly dough (either the coco bread or the patty) and coleslaw. The few bites I did get that contained the meat though... MMMM! They were fantastic. With all that being said the whole damn thing cost less than $5 tax in and was filling. For a quick bite it's a great deal - if you can deal with all the bread. The other things on the menu looked great and smelled fantastic, so I'll probably be back to explore the menu. If you do go, you can grab just a patty for $2.10 plus tax which isn't bad for a pick me up. read more

Allwyn's Bakery - Patty, Coco Bread & Slaw Sandwich - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've ordered from this joint numerous times. My go to is always their jerk chicken with rice and peas, but their coco bread sandwiches are outstanding. Their curry is also super flavourful and hearty! Although I've never tried their patties, I've heard great things, and I'll have to try it eventually. While we're practicing social distancing and trying to stay at home, I'd recommend trying Allwyn's the next time you decide to order takeout! read more

Came here a few months ago to try their jerk chicken beef patty sandwich that many have been raving about and I'm glad I did! This local bakery is right off of Queen west which tends to get very busy. Food was fresh and didn't take too long. These were definitely worth venturing downtown for ! read more

I ordered the stuffed patty, with jerk chicken and slaw from Queen Street @ Spadina location. I order often from the Yonge/Finch location...no problem there* This is the second time I was trying it (from Queen St.) The first time, it was a dry/stale patty. I thought okay, it was a one-off. Stuffed Patty $8.50 - should be better. I tried it again today cause I was craving patty. The girl gave me a patty from the (stove) oven and the only coco bread that was on the baking sheet, on top the stove, not out of a bag. She chopped up a little piece of jerk chicken, topped my sandwich and added slaw... I was disappointed with the ratio of meat and slaw to bread. I showed it to a gentleman who approached from the kitchen. I asked him: "Is this an adequate amount of chicken to you?" He said; "Yes, that's fine" When I got to work and tried to eat my sandwich, the patty was so dry, crusty and hard all around, even the meat inside was hard. It was gawd awful! I will never step foot in there again. Waste a money, time & they clearly don't care. Look at the pic of the stuffed patty they served. Upper part is the dry beef, from the patty* read more

Super happy Allwyn's popped up. I ordered the Jerk Chicken dinner (large) with oxtail gravy and it come's with coleslaw ($13) in total. Portion for the large is what it should be and it tastes like like a classic jerk chicken dinner with the chicken nice and moist and not dry like some other spots in the area. Not really a spot to eat in but perfect to buy and go. All in all a great experience they were open late and we're fast with the order. read more

From someone who grew up eating Jamaican food I gotta say the jerk chicken plate is average at best. The rice was bland and there is no additional sauce added to the plate. Cold slaw was standard. The meat to bone ratio was good but as a whole the jerk chicken dish just wasn't very satisfying. read more

Pretty good Jamaican food. Nice service and clean. Doesn't look like much but I was pleased with the food. Wasn't offered any jerk sauce on the side so that was a little odd but honestly no complaints. Food was good and affordable. Staff was good to me. read more
