    Lola loves toonie Tuesday
    Mark S.

    If its Tuesday, and you're on Eglinton West... YOU MUST DROP IN! Mainsha has a local reputation for one of the best "toonie Tuesday" specials in the City! Come with patience as the place is usually packed, and the service can sometimes be slow - but leave with a few orders... One is never enough for me! $2.50 gets you a nice big piece of chicken, rice and peas and a small side of coleslaw. I also suggest getting a fresh juice as well! Bootlegged albums and movies can also be purchased from some creative street vendors outside lol

    I had better jerk chickens before but I just love the toony Tuesday deal where you get a nice meal for $2.5 There is some line up and about 20 minutes wait but it's worth it.

    As you get off the subway, you can smell the jerk in the air from their drum…read more This is the closest you will get to Jerk Chicken being cooked on the pimento wood. It has that Smokey jerk chicken flavour that you can only get in Jamaica. Their jerk chicken is fresh, never behind a glass to be heated. First your get your rice (if you're going for the convo) and then you go outside and the chef puts either Jerk Chicken or Jerk Pork into your plate. You can get a small for $11 or medium for $18. You can also just get meat only for $12 (small), large was maybe $20. The hours are odd though. 8:30pm-2:30am so you might not be a person that eats that late, but if you do, perfect spot! There are a couple of seats in here, but it's mainly for takeout. Cool staff as well.

    The girl (girl1) who helped my brother told us it was $18 for a large jerk chicken. She said it's…read morethe same price if you get it with rice& coleslaw or without because they will adjust the chicken portion appropriately. When it was time for me to order a different girl (girl2) helped me. I accidentally told her small jerk chicken then after I changed it to a large. girl2 gave me the dirtiest look, and girl1 told her to just change it for me. When it was time to pay girl2 said it's $18 then quickly changed her mind and said $19. I handed her $20 and then girl2 asked girl1 for $1 change. Girl1 questioned the $1 change because normally they would give $2 change for a large jerk chicken. I did not say anything as she was already giving attitude and her face was not having it. It was also not my turf. Girl 2 basically changed the price for my jerk chicken based on her mood. Terrible service from girl2. Not impressed... Food is good but unfortunately her service brought down the rating.

So some web searches found Sheryl's - located on Eglinton Weat near Dufferin. A higher power encouraged me to go in, but making it pour rain right as I was getting in. Immediately I could smell the Carribean spices. Mmm mmm mmm! I ordered by curry goat roti, wish coleslaw and Diet Coke. While I was waiting I spotted their authentic Carribean breakfast menu and I knew this was a good place! Now I need to figure out how to get there for breakfast. Anyways on to the to the goat roti. It's bone-in but there was very little bone in mine. My diabetes was thankful that there was no potato filler in it. But the taste. Yummy. The flavour built for the first few bites, to a crescendo of greatness. I should also mention that the roti shell was a dhalpuri roti. I'm not used to Jamaican places offering a superior roti shell. Overall this is an 8/10. Cost was $24. I will repeat.

    This food is GAS! Got their BBQ fry and it was amazing,…read moreit's fried chicken dipped in their special BBQ sauce. I wish I also got their breakfast Ackee and Saltfish, it looked appetizing. There is also about 12 seats + 5 bar stool seats. Street Green P parking . I would say this is probably one of the better spots on the strip for BBQ Fried chicken. Real friendly staff and community, I went on Jan 2 and everyone was greeting each other wishing everyone a good happy new year and the server had manners (not always the case at Jamaican restaurants) Great ambiance with lots of natural light coming in. I'd highly recommend.

    I don't get down to this part of the city nearly as much as I want anymore. I am so glad that I did…read morethough, as soon as I walked in I was treated with a smile and asked what I was looking for today. Told her I heard they had the best patties in the city she responded with "Oh you have never been here before? Why not?" I laughed she laughed I blamed it on my Jamaican friends for never bringing me... She then abruptly walked to the back grabbed me a Pattie and said "here on the house you tell me" Come on who still has this much passion and love for new customers anymore? It was amazing thank you. As for the Patty well I'm no expert but it was fucking delicious and in my mind lived up to the hype 100%, it was a mild Patty with a hint of spice but full of flavour and I ordered 6 more. Next time I have to try the jerk chicken and goat curry!!

    If you like Jamaican patties, you'll probably like what Kingston 12 offers. Besides the traditional…read morebeef filling, they offer a variety, such as curry chicken, vegetables, and more. They also offer some traditional Jamaican dishes like oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, ackee & saltfish, and other delights. I stopped in with my cousins to pick up some patties. We just got the traditional beef and they were very good, although the crust appeared to be slightly overbaked. The flavour was excellent, with one cousin declaring it as his favourite. Unfortunately, the staff weren't the most courteous so our interactions were minimal. Customer space is limited but clean and bright. Street parking is very limited but it's worth a visit. Patties: 4.0/5.0 | Service: 3.0/5.0
