Jerk chicken is good but they've removed their simple slaw as the side dish and replaced it with a side of grilled vegetables such as broccoli, carrots. I prefer the slaw. I miss the slaw. Unique in that it has a drive through window. Lots of parking. read more

It's been quite a while since I've been to Nicey's and it will be even longer before I return. Their food and service have fallen off drastically since my last visit. My friend and I had their Curry Goat and Curry Chicken. They were both disappointingly flavourless, especially the included cooked vegetables. Curry by itself is very flavourful but these dishes were very bland. Unfortunately, the service was no better. The staff seemed to be just going through the motions - not very friendly or inviting at all. Prices also seemed quite high. read more

Nicey's Eatery - Curry Goat - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had the regular jerk chicken for lunch and it had good flavour and seasoning. I appreciated the fact that the chicken was nice and hot in temperature. Definitely recommend getting oxtail gravy over the rice and the pepper sauce gives it all a fresh spicy kick. There's a few tables for dine-in and service was quick. read more

The jerk chicken sandwich is about 6 dollars and holds you over if you need a quick bite on the go. If you're in a real rush I recommend calling in advance and they'll have your order ready and waiting for pickup! Some of the items I definitely recommend are their soups, they vary depending on the day of the week (love their red pea ans chicken soup) Their Jerk chicken is also a good open and filling. read more

Nicey's Eatery - Jerk chicken sandwich - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not sure if the quality of the food has gone down since the viral video, but from what I've tasted it is definitely not worth braving a winter storm for. I got to try a small jerk chicken and a small ox tail and no flavours really jumped out at me, they also don't offer coleslaw with their dishes. I ordered online for pick up in which they told me it'll be ready in 35 mins, got there only to find out they haven't started preparing my food yet and had to wait another 30 mins. read more

We ordered carry out for dinner. My favorite was the curry chicken. The oxtail and jerk pork was good too. The curry goat roti was tasty. It would have been better if the goat meat was deboned before putting it inside the roti. Overall the food was good. read more

Hey man! Hungry and want a place to chill? Head on over to Nicey's on Markham to escape it all and get a taste of Caribbean cuisine. Seems like the Yelpers are divided in their opinion about this place; you should come and check it out for yourself. So much nicer than their branch on Morecambe Gate! They have an outdoor patio surrounded by trees and shrubbery and inside is colorful with lovely tropical wall art. Their music vacillates between island music and 70s-80s-90s music. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Lovely staff willing to explain the menu, or give recommendations; they even check in on you during your meal to make sure all is well. ORDERED: - Goat roti - large with generous amounts of savory, tender goat but watch out for the bones. - Oxtail meal with rice and peas (ask for the fried plantain instead, it's more flavorful) - nice and saucy with delicious fork tender meat, a little salty but still tasty. - Sorrel drink - holy cow! It had an overpowering ginger flavor. I didn't like it at all but I hated to waste it since I only took a sip. I gave it to my friend who loved it; to each his (or her) own. - Rum cake (home made) - tasted much better than the one at their other branch, the frosting made a BIG difference. Definitely a cool, relaxing place to enjoy some good Jamaican food. read more

Food was great, and the place looked nice and friendly. But when I ordered my food at the window they told me to go inside and get the food.I was so pissed because this is the drive thru window your suppose to have the damn food at the window.So I go in to get my food and nobody told me that my food was ready or Anything, like, HELLO THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!.I will never go back there ever AGAIN! read more

Stumbled upon this place while going to the McDonald's next door and it was a pleasant surprise. It looked pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon and even had a drive-thru window with a decent line of cars waiting and patio. I got the regular and large jerk chicken plate with rice and peas. It comes with gravy, homemade coleslaw and pickled onions and carrots. The large plate comes with 2 pieces of fried plantain. The portion sizes are very generous, which makes sense as the price is higher than most Caribbean spots serving the same dish. A regular is just under $10 while the large is just under $13. The chicken was super moist, and I really enjoy places that don't just give you the easy thigh and drumstick. It looks like they use almost the whole chicken so many chunks of chicken were cut for you, and made eating much easier as it was mostly just meat. The jerk seasoning was delicious but not as spicy or heavily seasoned as other places, which I would've preferred, but nonetheless still good. The coleslaw was simple coleslaw, crunchy and not creamy which I loved. The highlight was the pickled veggies which cut the heaviness of the meal so well! They give a decent amount of it as well which paired with the simple coleslaw very well. The place does get quite busy, there was a line the whole time I dined in. Don't expect much customer service when ordering, food came out in about 10 minutes which was decent but if you're in a rush, the line and wait for food is not ideal. I would come again if I'm in the area, very good meal for the amount of food you get and price. read more

I've dined in, ordered delivery via SkipTheDishes several times each because it's not the best Carribean food I've had but it's pretty damn solid. Consistency is more important than The price is a little higher than most places but I'm not playing Russian Roulette with the quality of food I'm getting so having this peace in mind I don't mind the extra $1-2, I like oxtail and it being the most expensive item usually at Carribean spots, it's nice knowing I'm getting my money's worth without rolling the dice here. The times I've dined in it was never completely empty but I've never seen it rolling in customers. The customers that dine in seen to have come here often enough to be friendly with the staff which is a good sign. Lots of people come for take-out. I have a feeling this place will last a little longer than what some of y'all are saying. My usual order: small Oxtail Entree: I usually get a large because I have a bigger appetite then most but I noticed that you still get a decent amount of big meaty oxtail pieces with the small. The oxtail itself is seasoned and marinated very well as all the flavours are incorporated nicely. Don't be shy to ask for extra gravy if you're about that life. Comes with choice of rice, a couple dumplings and coleslaw. 1/2 Pound Jerk Chicken: really depends on the time of day on how juicy it is but even later in the evening it's not completely dry which is a good sign that they care about the freshness of their food. Overall the chicken is decent but I think I'm going to try the jerk pork next time instead. Comes with some pickled onions and carrots. THEYRE OPEN TILL 11PM! Super bonus for those late night cravings as we don't have any "late-night" restaurants with Carribean options in the area! Staff are there if you need them, counter service is friendly and they even bring your food to your table for dining in. Can't hate on em Eat here don't expect anything too amazing but solid wholesome food that's good enough to eat every single time you order! read more

Nicey's Eatery - Small Oxtail entree with a 1/2 of Jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was excited to have Nicey's Eatery opening up closer to home. A restaurant with area for dine in, a patio and even a drive thru?! A larger menu with more Caribbean favourite?! But I was totally disappointed after my visit. Food was just meh and especially for what they charge. Oxtail was bland and tasteless for $11. The 1/2 jerk chicken was all dried out and tough white meat only for $5. I request to have it dine in and all the food still serve in recyclable plastic containers. Hot sauce no where to be found (but no amount of hot sauce could have revive the Jerk Chicken). Service was meh, but it is a takeout restaurant, so I should not expect service? I think treating your customers nicely would be a standard regardless of the scale of your business. I don't think I would be back again... read more

Their lunch jerk chicken sandwiches are life. So good, affordable. Spicy and slightly sweet because of the bread. A little pepper sauce and we've got ourselves a winner. Great food, supporting black owned businesses -yes! The chicken meals are also good. Check it out. Pro tip- call ahead, get it through the drive through! read more

Disappointed Went last week to order some soup. It was a Tuesday and the soup of the day was BEEF. Bought a medium to try it out. Brought it home and enjoyed every spoonful of it. Went this week for another round of soup. This time ordered 2 large soups for myself and a friend. Taste was great but this time I noticed there was NO BEEF! Opened he other soup and the same thing!!! Called them to tell them that there was no beef however they insisted that there was 3 pieces in each soup. They did NOTHING! read more

Great place for Jamaican food. Price is affordable and seating area is ok. Several tables available. seating area during the summer time is awesome as they have a nice patio. Lunch specials are only$6.99 and includes a drink! Today's special was stew chicken with rice and peas. Tasty, and chicken was great! Enjoyed my lunch time with co worker. Lots of parking and it can get busy during lunch time. Staff are very pleasant. Lots of choices on their menu! Oh and if you have a big group, you can call them and they can reserve tables for you! read more

"Jerk chicken sanwich mi want...extra spicy...blessings!" Tucked away in a strip mall in Markham and Finch is one of the cleanest and coziest carribbean restaurant I have been to. I know the VP and finch location but this one is far more improved. With dine in on plates available and a much larger variety of soups. I decided to get a sandwich in order to eat light. Ordered the jerk chicken sandwich and it was amazing. Nice chunks of chicken in pepper sauce and creamy coleslaw. I was blown away. The taste followed me on my way back to work. It was so flavorful One of the best $5 I spent. Must try! read more

This is a great Jamaican eatery and is their new location which has table seating. I've been to their takeout location several times in the past so I was only expecting good things. I was not disappointed. We visited for lunch today and ordered Red Pea Soup, Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas, and Boneless Curry Chicken Roti. The soup was very hearty and tasty, had beef, peas, potatoes and dumplings. My wife had the Jerk Chicken which was also very good. The rice and peas were well done and topped with oxtail gravy and tasted almost creamy. Finally, the Roti was good and the curry chicken was loaded with flavour. Everything had a little kick to it but not very spicy by any means. I imagine you can ask for sauce if you wanted to kick it up a few notches. If you're in the area and looking for some quality Caribbean eats definitely check this place out! read more

I've been going to Nicey's for years and it's one of the best places for Caribbean food in Scarborough. The oxtail is tender and don't even get me started on the sauce; I could drink it in a cup. The jerk chicken is a cult classic with amazing spice and juicy meat. Nicey's is always super packed, so depending on the time of your order you may not be able to get certain things on the menu as they'll no longer be available. Make sure to call ahead to see if they have what you want and place your order in advance before picking it up. If you haven't been here, I suggest you take a trip. This place is a gem! read more

Everything was flavourful but hard to describe what exactly, it was spicy thought. I order jerk chicken with rice and peas, but I didn't see any peas. read more

Nicey's Eatery - Jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Just the worst service ever!! I tried to place an order tonight and I asked the girl over the phone if I can substitute the rice for something else and she said no, so I said let me think about and i will call back. I called back and someone picked up and hung up, I called back and it sounded like a fax machine, I called again and again it sounds like someone is hanging up. So I then blocked my number and finally the phone was ringing but no one pick up. Had to end up going to Mr.Jerk which was good! I made a complaint on the website but I highly doubt anyone will respond. read more

This place is everything you'd expect from a West Indian Restaurant. Great Food, Vibrant atmosphere and a cashier that wont give up the oxtail gravy even when you believe you will get some extra. All jokes aside fall off the bone tender, juicy and poppingly flavourful oxtail. Perfectly cooked Rice and Peas("Beans" for the Non-Caribbean folk) and refreshing coleslaw to finish it all off. Definitely coming back! read more

Was at work and wanted some jerk chicken. Found this place had a 2 jerk chicken rice deal for $14.99. This place is incredible. The chicken isn't dry like most places and packed with an insane amount of flavour. You want to keep eating and never stop to maintain that flavour consistency. Efffing delishhhhhh!! read more

Every time I'm in the area I always drop by Nicey's. Food is on point. Great value for your money.

Love love love this gem of a place in my old hood of Scarborough!! My husband and I go here every chance we get - it is our number one choice when we have a date lunch or dinner planned! He first took me in September 2018 for my bday. He had the chicken roti and I had the oxtail plate - with rice and peas and slaw, we also had dumpling and got a pound of jerk pork to take home. The oxtail was amazing. The chicken roti is also right up there as one of the best my husband has ever had. Fried dumplings are also a must if you're heading here. We have been back multiple times since September and have never been disappointed! The staff are super nice and it is constantly busy!! We will keep coming back - I suggest if you are reading this you go and have a taste for yourself- you won't be disappointed!! read more

Decent portions of meaty oxtail, though I found it a bit bland. Not a big fan of the jerk pork or chicken either, which I found to be on the dry side and less than flavourful than expected, but my dining companions enjoyed the pork and said it was the better pick between the two. My pick would go to the ackee & saltfish, which had a buttery, creamy mouthfeel, and wasn't overly salty. Each meal came with two slices of plantain (you can order an additional 5 pieces for $1.90, which I did!), and your choice of starchy side - like a large scoop of rice & beans. It was...nice-ish. read more

Definitely good eats! Affordable and delicious, this is THE place to get your Caribbean fixes. Although stock seems to run low, which is a good indicator of their popularity, I would recommend not come at the end of day. Service staff definitely has that Caribbean vibe, chill and friendly. The star of the show is definitely the food. Vibrant in both flavor and colour, it aimed to impress. Easily the most memorable Caribbean food I've had. We ordered the jerk chicken dinner, an ox tail dinner, and fried chicken...we wanted the cow feet but they ran out upon ordering. The meats were tender and well-seasoned. The Ox tail was fall off the bone finger licking good. If you want their pepper sauce, remember to ask - it's comes with the meal but not included unless customers specify. The fried plantains added a tarty sweetness that contrasted to the savory meal. The rice and beans was well cooked, though I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. I was less impressed with the fried chicken as it was bland and wasn't as crispy as I would've liked. 2/3 ain't too bad. The gravy, that glorious fatty, meaty goodness, was an added bonus. I ordered an extra side of gravy as I am a saucy person...in so many ways. The gravy was beyond words, sporting ACTUAL chunks of meat and fat (Yes, FAT pieces); it was worth every pound gained. We will definitely be back to add a couple more unneeded inches to our waist! read more

Basing my rating on the quality of beef patty and the ambience/decor. Will adjust when I've tried other items! Courteous and fast service. Conveniently located at Markham and Finch. Quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon which goes to show the popularity of Niceys. Would definitely come back to try the jerk! read more

Best Caribbean food (Jamaican) Love the jerk pork, oxtail and jerk chicken. Must try read more

Nicey's is one of the best Caribbean restaurants in Toronto! Their staff is friendly and that is a testament to the owners!

This place is excellent, hands down my favourite jerk spot. Good value on the jerk meats by the pound options. The gravy is a must try, always like to use the gravy to give meats more flavour if you prefer or even just for the fries. Only problem is that they're always busy, which speaks to their popularity. So remember to order in advance! read more

One of my favourite Jamaican restaurants in Scarborough. Their jerk and curry options are so deliciously. While their coleslaw is rather dry and their portions can sometimes run on the small side, I still end up going back because the food is just that good! I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

The best! I used to go to their original branch close to finch!!! Really love their food!

Location & Ambiance: Nice little spot, must be nice on the patio in Summertime Customer Service: seemingly pleasant staff. Long line up. Slow service. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes to order a goat soup, oxtail and curry goat meals, I waited an additional 20 minutes to receive my food. Food: After awaiting about 35 minutes on food I was disappointed with how bland it was. Haven't gone back since. read more

Me and a couple of friends went here for the first time yesterday and my first thought was this looks like a nice spot. They had a patio with a DJ playing music, sun or no sun. We go to order and the cashier taking our order was extremely rude. I dont know where she thinks she is but she doesnt belong in the food industry. The food on the other hand was amazing! One of the best jerk chicken meals I have ever had. And the rum cake, wow! read more

Authentic Jamaican Food and ambience. Honestly felt like I was home in jamaica. We ordered the jerk chicken with rice and escoveitch fish special. No complaints only wish they jerked it with wood chips for the full blown authentic "pan chicken taste" but it was well seasoned food was great. If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food with the ambience as well Nicey's is the place. Will definitely be back. Also the attendant who took our order was also super pleasant and helpful! read more

Overpriced for what you get. You're better off going to Tastee ! Ordered a jerk pork meal. Nice big chunks of pork but dry like cardboard. Eating it was a struggle. I couldn't even cut it with a knife. Rice and peas were dry as well. Definitely need water nearby to consume the meal. 2* for cleanliness. Would never go again. read more

I can't even count how many times we've eaten here since we have recently discovered Nicey's. The oxtails are made of magic. The patties are the best in the city.
