While we were waiting for the appetizer we were served bread as well as some black olives. The mussels sauce tasted amazing. My friend says she will be coming back just for that. I chose the chicken for main, they do not offer a piece of chicken they offer two piece or a whole chicken. I could not believe the amount of food for the price. My chicken was really juicy. It was served with salad as well as a side of fries or rice. I picked the option of fries. The salad was ordinary I only had half a cherry tomato, A few pieces of grated carrots as well as a few pieces of onions. The fries were nice and crispy just like I love them. We had a pitcher of water left on the table. That way we could serve ourselves. We both made the mistake of asking for water before we realized it. Free parking with lots of space. They are located in front of movati. I was disappointed that they did not have a cocktail menu. I wish they could make me Discovered some Portugal drinks.

Came on a bed of vegetables. Oxtail also came on a bed of vegetable. I think this one was my favourite. We had some cheese croquette. Olive cheese...

We came here as a large group for a friends birthday. We ordered calamari, zucchini fritters,…read morepulpo, shrimp, and a few other things to start. Everything was pretty good. We also got 3 traditional paellas to share. It was very flavourful but the rice is cooked very very al denté which I'm not used to. I'm not sure it was cooked this way even when I had it in Barcelona. Overall though the flavours were there and the portions were good. However, we ordered 3 of the same paella and we noted to them that one of the three was a lot smaller for some reason. We weren't sure if they had made a mistake. To our surprise, the server (maybe owner?) was not surprised at all and brushed it off, staying that it is the same portion in a much smaller pan. Honestly we had more than enough, but it was kind of awkward that they serve different size paellas for the same price. It seems a bit sketchy like they would change the portion on you depending on the group size? Usually when you order something for a set price, it's a standard size. Besides this, the service was good.

This place singlehandedly raised my ceiling for this cuisine so high that I've got a new lifelong sidequest I must attempt to fulfill. I gotta learn more and hunt for what else might come close to matching the perfection they conjured for me here--and without a hint of pretension, too! There's room for fancy, but to achieve such greatness while keeping everything simple and uncomplicated is amazing. Every bite is as good as you might imagine it could be--in my case, everything was even better. The pitch perfect acidity of the merguez shakshuka is something I'll remember forever. The richness of the avgolemono sauce with the meatballs made me smile and sigh. It's nice to reminded sometimes that you don't know everything and that food has an infinite potential to surprise you.

So this lovely restaurant is owned by the same owners of La Fiesta Latina that I absolutely love. I…read morethink I've reviewed them more than anyone lol One night we had a dinner reservation at La fiesta Latina but it was -40 and due to some issues they were closed but were open at this location. So we swapped restaurants and gave it a shot. The food there was nearly perfect, but not quite the same as the smaller location on somerset. The service was great, everyone was friendly, but it was just a bit different than what I was expecting. This location does have a more expansive menu and offers seafood items (not for me with allergies) but gives people more variety to choose from for sure. If my other location is closed I'd have no issues eating here, I just would go into it knowing the cooks are different so things will be just a smidge different than how I'd like them. Please keep in mind I'm autistic and notice the subtle changes, it does not mean the food is subpar, in fact my whole party loved it. Would definitely recommend it if you are in the area, I don't think you'll be disappointed

This place is legit!

The jerk chicken at Island Grill is amazing! The chicken was tender fall off the bone, and nice and spicy and full of flavour. The chicken thigh was cut up, but no bone fragments, which I appreciated. The jerk chicken meal was $13.50 and came with rice and beans, 2 pieces of plantain and the best coleslaw ever! The coleslaw was vinegar-based and slightly sweet. I much prefer this type of coleslaw to the creamy mayo-based ones. The cabbage was crunchy and really tasty. The rice and beans were excellent, soft and fluffy, not mushy at all. The plantains were soft and sweet. Island Grill usually has space for dine-in, but that section was closed off and they are only doing takeout at this time (Covid Pandemic still on-going). Service was quick and efficient. They sell hot sauces, plantain chips, and a few other items. They also had coconut cake and other desserts. Street parking only.

We came here by fluke walking down bank street and feeling hungry.. we saw the sign and as we came in , the scent of epic Caribbean spices just hits you right away. Service: Very friendly girl at the counter was super sweet and explained the menu perfectly and we ordered within 10-15 minutes our food was ready! It's a hole in the wall but don't be fooled the food is To die for. Food: FRESH PACKED WITH FLAVOUR!!! We got oxtails & Jerk Chicken. It was literally fall off the bone! The oxtail was my favourite part because it's such a rare dish prepared Jamaican style and it was super tender definitely worth every penny. The plantain was super delicious usually its hard to get it cooked right but this place definitely did! Veggie Fritters were amazing , rice was soft and delicious love how they drizzle the ox tail sauce on the rice and the beans were pretty good. The patties were alright but not the greatest..I would skipp the patties next time & go for everything else again instead ahaha Overall: Food /Quality Price , Service and ambiance was amazing super impressed and you definitely need to try this place out if you're in the area and craving an authentic homemade meal!!!

It wasn't just 80% rice. Finally, I've never had chicha morada like this before. Very refreshing, and it had a little spice to it. I regret not taking some more to go!
