The spice level is just enough that it gives you a kick but not enough that it's unpalatable because it's too hot. The curry chicken has lots of flavour, and paired with a side of beef patty ($4) was just the right amount of food to fill me up for the rest of the afternoon. Next time I come I'm gonna try the jerk chicken, definitely a spot to hit up if you're visiting this farmers market.

Unfortunately this place is only open Friday through Sunday as a part of Bountiful Farmers' Market…read more But don't underestimate the flavours that this restaurant carries. Owner (a couple) has a stand at Old Strathcona Famers' Market that is selling Caribbean hot sauce style but they opened up a Caribbean food stand in addition to their hot sauce stand. So far I have tried 2 different dishes; Ackee & Saltfish and Oxtail Stew. Both dishes were really good. It was my first time to try Ackee. Quite interesting fruit but it was good. Ackee is a fruit of the Sapindaceae soapberry family, as are the lychee and the longan. Since I grew up with saltfish, it was lovely to have it again after so long I didn't have it. The oxtail was so flavourful and tender. The rice that company the oxtail was really yummy. With a beautiful set-up of food court of Bountiful Farmers' Market, I think this little booth give a nice vibe to its market.

If you're wanting some Jamaican food I highly recommend taking a trip to the Island Grill. They…read morehave a great selection of meats and fish all cooked in traditional Jamaican style. Want jerk? They have that. Want goat? They've got that too. A personal favourite of mine is the curried oxtail - so good! So oxtaily (that's a word). In terms of drinks I'll usually go with one of the fine Jamaican ginger beers on offer - fire in your mouth, but delicious! Prices are decent. Check it out my friends!!

You know a place is going to be good when you can't spot the sign from the street right? Right…read more Well, Island Grill is a Jamaican spot that's been open for a year now. I've been meaning to try this place out for quite some time now. Tuesday jerk chicken special. $9.99? Hell yeah. The dining area is pretty bare but it's clean, bright and the green wallpaper hints at sunny pastures. The TV was playing Ellen and I liked when they turned up the chill Jamaican music. Good vibez. The menu only had three main items (along with two soups) to choose from. Talk about making life easy for the indecisive. Make sure to order at the counter. They'll bring the food out to you once it's ready. The lady working was friendly and sweet even though she was the only one manning the front. She brought us waters and checked on us a to make sure we were good. - Beef patty ($3.50) - this came out a couple minutes after our mains as it was being reheated. Just average in my books. There was a bit of heat to the beef mixture but the meat was lacking in flavour and the patty itself could have been flakier. - Jerk chicken ($10.50) - $9.99 Tuesday jerk chicken special! You get four pieces along with a solid portion of rice and peas. The jerk chicken was smoky, grilled, and well seasoned. - Coleslaw - a side of is included with your meal. I found the sauce slathered on a little too much for my taste buds. - Goat curry and oxtail combo platter ($20.00) - we wanted to try out their other two meat offerings. The goat and oxtail were both excellent, but the oxtail was killer good. Succulent, perfectly cooked, the oxtail had a great bite to it that's hard to describe. If you've ate good oxtail, you'll know what I'm trying to get it. Another solid addition to the west end area. If you're craving some Jamaican home cooking, come here.

Hey why mess with a good thing . We have always enjoyed the food . Cajun Louisiana style is simply put..heaven for your taste buds . I usually got the pasta jambalaya but opted this time for the combo plate ( see photo ). It's got jambalaya, shrimp Creole , red beans and sausage. . Fantastic . Crab cakes to die for too . The chef was trained in New Orleans so he really knows how to cook it.. so it's about as authentic as it gets . I'm writing this review about 5 hours after we ate .. still feeling full.. you get a good portion. If you crave some true Louisiana cooking.. this is as close as it gets .. Highly recommended.

So I love to support local businesses, and so my friend and I went here for lunch…read more I used to really love this place, but somehow it missed the mark on this day. First of all the ambiance isn't as bright and cheery and it was cold to eat inside. I get it that most people come here to take out, but your restaurant should be comfortable to sit and eat in. Service was indifferent. They didn't really act happy that we were coming in. Place has the usual Jamaican food - curries, jerk meat, rice and peas etc. I ordered the curried goat. So the flavaour of the curry was good but they were really skimpy on the meat and they put on too much peas and rice which was dry. My friend had the jerk chicken but she left most of her rice as well. Prices were high for the amount of meat you have. I will have to try another Jamaican restaurant in the area to compare. I don't think I will be coming back here.

We decided on the Bayou burger and the Andoulli Sausage with sweet potato fries. Both were excellent, flavourful. If you like sweet potato fries these are the ones to get in the city. I don't even like sweet potoato fries but I agree with these ones. Server was great. He made sure our drinks are topped up and to see how we are doing. Ambiance is great especially if you love 50s diner places, and we totally love the music. Great place to be at any time, but one time I will have to come on a Sunday and see what their wings are about.

We came here on the Surf and turf buffet night. I had made reservations a couple weeks in advance,…read morewhich I would recommend, as the line up for this restaurant can be quite long on the buffet night. Our server was super friendly and attentive. We started off with a plate of snow crab legs, which were very good, fun and messy, but we were brought a bunch of those moist towelettes which helped us clean up after. The highlight of the buffet was a seafood bisque, which I know doesn't sound like anything special, but WOW, was it ever good! Huge chunks of salmon, baby shrimp and clams in a tomato cream sauce. It was amazing! Most of the rest of the food we tried was great, a few lack lister items but that is expected at a buffet. There was a chocolate fountain and lots of delicious desserts as well. Atmosphere was ok, a bit loud but for a casino restaurant it was pretty good.

The shrimp was accompanied by chipolte aioli, lettuce, pico de gallo, pickles, and avocado lime crema. For my soup I asked for the soup of the day which happened to be Moroccan beef. My husband went with the butcher's sandwich which contained onions, dijon, shaved beef adn red wine au jus. He got a side of fries. Kiddo got the alfredo pasta. Food came out in a timely manner. The staff here are quick and wonderful despite being a full house. They are also friendly. Food was delicous as usual. I really enjoyed my soup. The flavours were full and fantastic. The prawns in the tacos were cooked perfectly. However they could of used more pico de gallo and chipolte aioli. Kiddo loved her pasta. My husband enjoyed his sandwich but this time the fries were way too salty. Ambiance is nothing to write home about. It is clean though. i dislike that there are no bathrooms in the actual restaurant. Otherwise a great night.
