Coco bread
Jessica L.

This is a solid spot if you're looking for a tasty meal at a fair price. They have a daily $4.99 special which is perfect for lunch. I tried the jerk chicken, curried goat, beef patty, and coco bread. The chicken and goat were flavourful and tender. Rice is great. Beef patty was tasty and fresh and so was the bread.

Beef patty with an uncut coco bread. Too busy to cut the bun?
Melissa M.

I went here because I saw a sign outside the restaurant that advertised a $4.99 lunch special. Lord have mercy, let me tell you how disappointed I was. 1) The pictures that were taken of this place and posted on Yelp are cleaner than it actually is. It wasn't filthy but not very clean. 2) It has a sleezy vibe. Their clientele seem to only be there to drink beer and hang out. I felt really uncomfortable walking in. 3) The lunch portion sizes are a total joke. I was served 2 of the smallest chicken legs I've ever seen, with 1 small scoop of rice. I guess you get what you pay for at this restaurant. 3) The chicken didn't taste like authentic Jamaican jerk. It tasted like the chef went to No Frills and bought Mr. Goudas jerk bbq sauce. 4) I also asked for a beef patty with Coco bread. He just put a beef patty in a bag with an uncut bun. I found that to be really lazy. Most people order it to eat right away, we shouldn't have to pry the bread open with our fingers while we are on the go. Overall I'm not happy and will never return! I'm upset that I spent my money here.

I pass by this restaurant frequently and have always wanted to give it a try. I'm a big fan of Jamaican food especially jerk chicken! So, the restaurant itself was clean and had a nice interior with simple decor. It was $7 for small and $10 for large. Of course I went big. Came with 2 drumsticks and a thigh, abundance of rice&beans and some coleslaw. The gravy on the chicken was nice and spicy! But it was missing something... it didn't have that smoked barrel taste to it. I think it was baked perhaps? Don't get me wrong, it tasted just fine and I ate the whole damn thing but it wasn't the same authentic jerk taste like back in Jamaica . I suppose nothing will ever be more legit than Jamaica. However, I read some good reviews on the oxtail and will give it a try next time!

4.99 jerk chicken lunch special
Shaheed S.

$4.99 Jerk Chicken special was worth the price. The jerk was seasoned well and it was not bbq'd..which I am usually used to. However the oven taste was very well as the chicken was tender. I have been passing by this establishment frequently; seems like a family run business; and have been dying to try it. I did enjoy the meal however next time I will try out their curry items; as they looked delicious!

Delicious ox tail w/red beans and rice!
Alyssa K.

I would give this restaurant a 4 star rating. The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was just OK. (Very dark inside) The ox tail on the other hand was delicious! Very succulent and tender with lots of flavor. The coleslaw was surprisingly good too. In the US we don't usually have a cole slaw with our ox tail. The rice and beans were good and I sampled some of my wife's curry goat and chicken. Both were good. I would come back.

Very good oxtail, very good jerk chicken and pork everything is good everybody come and try...you wouldn't be disappointed. .

Curry goat and plantain
Mike D.

Tried both the jerk chicken and curry goat. The jerk chicken was a bit bland and the meat was a bit tough to eat. The goat was better, where the meat fell off the bones and the curry flavour was cooked into the meat. The coleslaw and rice that came with the meats were okay. The price is slightly above average than the standard Jamaican restaurant. I might come back for their goat, but definitely not the jerk chicken.

Tried this place on a whim, just had a craving for jerk chicken and didn't want to drive for it, this was the first thing that popped up, and I remember seeing this from driving by it "all the time" The first time I had this ordered to my place, the food's scent absolutely permeated once we got the items out of the bag, the flavors were even better. this food brought me back to my childhood and all of the summer bbq's growing up with friends from multiple islands. One time I came in here in person, to grab some food, and the service was top notch, but ordering in person had a bit more options which lead to me looking like an idiot ordering the same thing I did through skip. The hot sauce is absolutely perfect as well, please bottle this and sell it Seperately. There's next to no sitting area here, and with this tight plaza of 11 business' you would be best to grab the food and go. I have no photos, even though I say the phone eats first, once the smell hits my nose, it's game over. no photos, no witness'(lol) Absolutely one of my favorite spots now for food, slowly climbing into my personal top 10 in Toronto, please don't change anything with the food, everything is perfect.

Their menu consists of a variety of items including curry rotis, paratha, curry rice dishes, jerk chicken, stew (chicken or oxtail), fish, soups, patties, as well as doubles. You are also able to pay by cash or card (if using card there is a service fee though!). Entering the space, you walk down the restaurant until you hit the cashier. You order your items there where you can eat it for here or to go. I've only gotten their doubles here but they are a pretty big portion and they taste great (you can choose your level of spicy and they also have a tamarind chutney as well). I've seen people eating their rotis there and the portions are pretty big. Service is no frills and the staff are friendly. This is a no frills place where you come for the good food. Overall, I definitely will return whenever I am in the area!

I got the curry chicken which I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor of the chicken inside, my problem was with the roti. As I cut more into the roti, it looked as though it wasn't cooked properly like patches of dry flour throughout to the point it didn't look appealing. I also grabbed a double which I enjoyed, they are much bigger than the ones I get at home in Va. I never had a Trini soda ~ Solo kola champagne which tastes very similar to the Jamaican version. The gentleman at the front counter was very nice and patient. The decor was definitely a Trini island feel. Bright colors and hand painted pictures. They have seating available for dine-in experience.

Honestly a lot of it I've never heard of before but that was the best part, discovering new good food! We had been told to try doubles while in Toronto so I had been on a search for it. Here it was. Yes I can say everyone with a foodie palate should try this! Just delicious. Two flatbread fried puris (bread type ) filled with the original filling of Chana masala. Slightly spicy but so much flavor. The nice crispy puris and the Chana oozing out makes it messy but so worth it! You can also get meat fillings too , chicken and beef I believe. But I'd a say at the OG is the way to go. Yum. A Trinidad treat in Canada who knew!

Living in Cleveland, the thing that I miss the most is Caribbean/Island food. It being so accessible in Toronto made me feel right at home. Y&E is Trinidadian good, just as you know it. The server/owner was extremely kind and quickly prepared my food in front of me. I got the Curried Chickpeas and Potatoes; the scotch bonnet was so spicy that I'm sure I felt my face burning off... which is exactly how I like my spices. Seating isn't the greatest, but... that's what you get at this type of food market/setting. I'll definitely be back during my next trip to Toronto.
