Tables and chairs not nicely ordered .. really need to be taken care of the place. Food came looking not so good, plating could definitely improve! But when we tasted it everything was fantastic! Steaks tender, nicely seasoned.. wish they can work on the rest so it becomes a pleasant experience stopping here next time

I stumbled upon this place today while walking around my neighbourhood. I love Indian food so, of…read morecourse, I had to investigate. Apparently, they've only been open a couple of weeks. Walking in, the space is mostly kitchen, with no seating (under COVID conditions). The previous (burger) restaurant that occupied this space before had only two tables of two and a counter in the window. There are currently two tables of four set up under a tent in the parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant. These tables could have been cleaner. In addition to TV screens hanging from the ceiling, there is a large menu on the wall with (I'm guessing) their six most popular items. I ordered the Tandoori(?) chicken from this menu. It included two leg quarters, salad, rice, naan, and a drink for only $9.99. Not a bad deal. It took about fifteen minutes for my order to be completed. A few other customers were ahead of me, also waiting, some impatiently. Once ready, I sat at one of the tables out front. Hmmm, no napkins? Only a spoon to eat with? Where's my drink? Once I got that sorted, it was time to eat. The chicken was a tad on the dry side and the flavours a bit understated. The salad consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, and red onions. The naan was large and fresh. The rice was plentiful, nice and fluffy. I'm used to bolder flavours in Indian cuisine. Overall, it was just okay. I'm used to bold flavours but I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. While the food wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as I was anticipating. Hopefully, these issues will be sorted out in time. PS - The fly strips hanging in the restaurant were a bit of a turn off.

When Spicy Dragon first opened in Pickering, years ago, I went there all the time for their…read moredelicious Indian style Hakka Chinese food. It was delicious, spicy, and priced well. Fast forward to 2021, during the pandemic, I had one of their lunch specials and it lacked flavour, especially salt. It really wasn't good. I decided to give them another chance recently, hoping the last time was an anomaly. It wasn't. It was just as bad as it was over a year ago - no flavour and tons of red food colouring! What happened? Did they lose their chef? Do they not care anymore? Reading through the reviews, summer of 2017 seems to be when things started going downhill. There are several consecutive one-star reviews. The most recent review, although favourable, was from two years ago! With several competing restaurants in the area, I can't give them another chance.

The food is consistently good and delicious, however their online ordering system is the absolute worst. This is the fourth time where my I have placed my order for pickup, I arrive at the scheduled time and the counter staff are perplexed and unaware of my order has been placed and accepted ( with both app and text confirmations). I have heard from the staff on each occasion is that it has something to do with the broken but quasi-functioning tablet. For my sake and on behalf of others, I will gladly purchase a replacement device so this issue is resolved once and for all.

This time, I came with a group of friends, allowing us to order several dishes. Here's what we had: · Dungeness Crabs in Spicy Garlic · Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion · Alex Chicken with Veg Fried Rice · Special Chicken Fried Rice · Cantonese Chow Mein · Sweet and Sour Basa · Goat Curry with Roti · Beef Short Ribs · Pepper Shrimp · BBQ Duck · Mixed Vegetables · Hot and Sour Soup · Seafood Soup As often as I come here, this was my first time having some of these dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious, with the seafood dishes being the top favourites of our group. Their platters of two lobsters or two crabs for only $34.95 are a great deal, especially the crabs. Don't miss their Beef Short Ribs, Goat Curry, Goat Curry, and everything else on the list above. It was all excellent! You have to try it for yourself. Their menu is also Halal! To quench your thirst, they offer a range of soft drinks, including Caribbean favourites, as well as adult beverages - wine, spirits, beer, etc. Their buckets of (5) beer are a popular choice among diners, with several brands available. Check them out at 985 Brock Road in Pickering!

One of my friends had been here before and recommended that we give Guyanese Chinese cuisine a try. I was game! I had no problem finding the eatery. It's in a small plaza with Grillies next door. I actually parked in front of Grillies and walked over to Caribbean Heat. The eatery was busy for a Sunday afternoon. It was a good sign. My friends and I ordered a ton of food, to the point where we had to get boxes to take home the damage that we had done... haha! We ordered these items: - Beef short ribs - Special chicken fried rice - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice - Goat curry with roti - Crabs in spicy garlic sauce - Cantonese chow mein - BBQ duck (half) - Pepper shrimp - Mixed vegetables - Hot and sour soup - Seafood soup - Sweet and sour basa - Lobster with ginger and green onion This eatery has a number of specials. We took advantage of most, except for the wings. The specials: - Pepper Shrimp - $8.99 for 15 pieces - Half-priced chicken Wings - Bucket of five beers for $29.99 - Two lobster or crabs for $34.95 - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice (lunch special) - $12.95 before tax Alex chicken is the chef's special. I don't know who Alex is. However, the dish consists of boneless chicken that's stir-fried with lots of onions and spices. It does have a bit of heat to make it a wonderful dish. The veggie fried rice that accompanied the chicken was delicious, too. I loved everything that we ate and will note some highlights: - The sweet and sour basa was excellent. The fish was flaky and boneless, and the flavours were perfect. - The lobster with ginger and green onion was fantastic. One friend was allergic to shellfish, but risked it because this dish was so good. I'm guessing that he has a mild allergy because he's fine. - The goat curry was excellent. Not gamey. Tender. It came with roti on the side that I enjoyed sopping up the sauce with it. - The BBQ duck was yummy. I haven't had duck in a long time. It was tender and I loved the skin. - The pepper shrimp were gigantic! I loved how tasty this dish was. It had lots of green bell peppers and onions that I enjoyed with the shell-on shrimp. I used the washroom a couple of times during our three-hour stay. It was clean. No complaints! We had a terrific time chatting, enjoying one another's company, and feasting on a bunch of scrumptious dishes. The menu had fried banga Mary as an appetizer. I'd like to try this dish that shares my first name. I'll be back for more when I'm in the area. (172)
