Their Guyanese style…read moreChinese food is very flavourful, with generous portions, I come here all the time for their great value weekday combo plates. This time, I came with a group of friends, allowing us to order several dishes. Here's what we had: · Dungeness Crabs in Spicy Garlic · Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion · Alex Chicken with Veg Fried Rice · Special Chicken Fried Rice · Cantonese Chow Mein · Sweet and Sour Basa · Goat Curry with Roti · Beef Short Ribs · Pepper Shrimp · BBQ Duck · Mixed Vegetables · Hot and Sour Soup · Seafood Soup As often as I come here, this was my first time having some of these dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious, with the seafood dishes being the top favourites of our group. Their platters of two lobsters or two crabs for only $34.95 are a great deal, especially the crabs. Don't miss their Beef Short Ribs, Goat Curry, Goat Curry, and everything else on the list above. It was all excellent! You have to try it for yourself. Their menu is also Halal! To quench your thirst, they offer a range of soft drinks, including Caribbean favourites, as well as adult beverages - wine, spirits, beer, etc. Their buckets of (5) beer are a popular choice among diners, with several brands available. Check them out at 985 Brock Road in Pickering!

Tip: The hot and sour soup has seafood in it. If you have a seafood allergy. this soup is not a…read moresafe option for you. Last Sunday, I had a late lunch with friends at Caribbean Heat. One of my friends had been here before and recommended that we give Guyanese Chinese cuisine a try. I was game! I had no problem finding the eatery. It's in a small plaza with Grillies next door. I actually parked in front of Grillies and walked over to Caribbean Heat. The eatery was busy for a Sunday afternoon. It was a good sign. My friends and I ordered a ton of food, to the point where we had to get boxes to take home the damage that we had done... haha! We ordered these items: - Beef short ribs - Special chicken fried rice - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice - Goat curry with roti - Crabs in spicy garlic sauce - Cantonese chow mein - BBQ duck (half) - Pepper shrimp - Mixed vegetables - Hot and sour soup - Seafood soup - Sweet and sour basa - Lobster with ginger and green onion This eatery has a number of specials. We took advantage of most, except for the wings. The specials: - Pepper Shrimp - $8.99 for 15 pieces - Half-priced chicken Wings - Bucket of five beers for $29.99 - Two lobster or crabs for $34.95 - Alex chicken with veggie fried rice (lunch special) - $12.95 before tax Alex chicken is the chef's special. I don't know who Alex is. However, the dish consists of boneless chicken that's stir-fried with lots of onions and spices. It does have a bit of heat to make it a wonderful dish. The veggie fried rice that accompanied the chicken was delicious, too. I loved everything that we ate and will note some highlights: - The sweet and sour basa was excellent. The fish was flaky and boneless, and the flavours were perfect. - The lobster with ginger and green onion was fantastic. One friend was allergic to shellfish, but risked it because this dish was so good. I'm guessing that he has a mild allergy because he's fine. - The goat curry was excellent. Not gamey. Tender. It came with roti on the side that I enjoyed sopping up the sauce with it. - The BBQ duck was yummy. I haven't had duck in a long time. It was tender and I loved the skin. - The pepper shrimp were gigantic! I loved how tasty this dish was. It had lots of green bell peppers and onions that I enjoyed with the shell-on shrimp. I used the washroom a couple of times during our three-hour stay. It was clean. No complaints! We had a terrific time chatting, enjoying one another's company, and feasting on a bunch of scrumptious dishes. The menu had fried banga Mary as an appetizer. I'd like to try this dish that shares my first name. I'll be back for more when I'm in the area. (172)

I was, therefore, surprised and pleased to fin this spot on the Main Street of Penetanguishine. It got great revues from some locals of Caribbean descent so I,and two others went for lunch recently. the aroma of jerk greeted me as we entered. All the Caribbean staples were available. I had a small oxtail served on rice and peas and a jerk chicken leg because I HAD to try it. My companions had oxtail and jerk pork. The meat was outstanding, the rice and peas were lovely. I got some dumplings to go for the next days breakfast. The place has been open for a year and there was a steady stream of customers coming in as we ate . If you are a fan of Caribbean food and you are in the area I highly recommend a visit.

This place had a very upscale feel to it, and seems like it would be a go-to for date night or any other situation that warrants a romantic ambiance. Location: The location was a tad difficult to find; they are in a plaza across from a Shell gas station; however, my GPS sent me to a residential area when using the address, as provided on Yelp, and by the restaurant itself, but the search is well worth it. The portions are more than generous, especially given the cost of food these days. And I mean that is not to mention the flavour; it's as if a savour bomb went off in my mouth.

I ordered Rice and peas, jerk chicken, and beef patties as well as salad for 10 people. It was extremely affordable. To be honest, this type of cuisine is something that I don't order frequently so I wasn't sure what to expect. The rice and peas were cooked to perfection and the jerk chicken was probably some of the best jerk chicken I've had in a very long time. I expected it to be a bit dry but there was special sauce and on the phone they mentioned they marinate their meat for over 24 hours! It sure was nice to enjoy a beef patty where you could tell it was handmade versus the frozen ones that I've been feeding myself - haha! Highly recommend enjoying this spot!
