    One of the best neighborhood Jamaican shops in town. Its part grocery store, part takeout kitchen. The jerk chicken here IMO is the best in the city,. They also get a straight shipment of hard-to-find vegetables straight from Jamaica. Beats the big box stores. Also, you'll find an assortment of frozen patties here from local producers.

    Small and unassuming plaza grocery serving up great jerk chicken platters for great prices. The chicken is tasty and a bit spicy, and served with plenty of rice and beans and creamy coleslaw on the side. The small platter is enough for a light lunch.

    They are consistent! The employees are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The best Jamaican grocery store in Scarborough! I go here at least two times per week.

    Whenever I visit Toronto, I usually stop in to get some home cooked Jamaican food. As a Jamaican, I'm very discriminating about where I buy Jamaican food but Aunt Elsie's is the real deal. I picked up 2 Roots Tonic for my husband. I bought some beef + veggie patties and a large king fish dinner. Everything was delicious as usual. I went back just before leaving Toronto. I got a large curry goat dinner for my husband, a large jerk chicken for me, ackee & saltfish with food for my son and veggie patties. Dee-licious! Highly recommended.

    I was referred to this small hidden gem. Very nice owners. I go for lunch and this place is always busy. Excellent customer service, freshly made, well seasoned, AUTHENTIC Jamaican food. Ordered stew beef, rice and peas meal. Tasty but received a small serving of beef (only drawback). Their dumplings are huge, light and fluffy inside. Everything is reasonably priced. I have yet to try the other menu items but will surely return! They sell everything here: grocery, bakery and restaurant. Update: Recently service has been slower and the food not as tasty or leftovers from previous day. When it's fresh, it's delicious. Prices are still very good.

    I had the jerk chicken meal and the curry chicken meal. Ordered through Ubereats. It had a lot of rice and beans with big pieces of jerk chicken and tasty plantains. The curry chicken meal was over-flowing with gravy and flavour (not pictured). Priced decently. Would definitely order from them again. For more reviews, please follow us on instagram @pktastyfinds

    I ordered through Uber Eats - had a great ratings. Lady at the counter was rude and absolutely disrespectful. I showed my Uber order details and refused to give me my food. I will never go back here.

    I've been here a few times, and the first time I've enjoyed the food. The first I've had it, it was amazing and the food was fresh. After order the same meal a few times I noticed the chicken was not fresh and sometimes I wouldn't be able to get coleslaw. I think after today I wont be going back as there are better options although they are a bit farther. But I do recommend for those in the area to try it as it is hard to find good Caribbean food in the area.

    Surprisingly good Caribbean food, although wait times are a little slow and the atmosphere feels drab. Overall, good value, especially through Too Good to Go!

    Affordable. courteous over the phone to clarify menu .ordered through uber eats. Seemed fresh and warm. Will order again.although minor...description of some items would be good..i.e full meal or side. Chicken with vs without sides. However, once you scroll through their menu , you may come to a conclusion. Bought jerk chicken small and king fish.

    I always go for the hot prepared food. Love the jerk pork, good flavour and a realistic portion size for me.

    Used to love this place but you know what? This rule will be the last time. I come here think very, very extremely rude customers. I noticed not a very nice corner. But I used to go in there for the good food. And now there's sizes are way too small and too expensive. They were good when they lost it lasted, but last couple of years destroyed all these restaurants.. Not the default everywhere I go now. Inflation is too much, but that small soup is super super. Super super small, now way too small and more expensive.. Never again

    Amazing customer service from the owner, Mr. Roger and all the employees. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. First impressions are definitely lasting; we thoroughly enjoyed the authentic and tasty Jamaican cuisines. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!⭐️

    Tried the jerk chicken dinner and it was so good! It's a tiny store and sells so much good food. Must try if you are in Scarborough.

    Been ordering through Uber eats for a couple months now. I m going out of my way to write this review so that they can proposer and stay in buisness. Their food makes me happy and the prices are very fair. I've tried jerk chicken curry goat, curry chicken and beef stew and all are delicious and amazing. I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Bee R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow. Tried this place from a reccomendation. The food did not disappoint. Ordered a large Jerk rice and peas with plantain. The flavour was incredible. Great Caribbean drink options as well. One of most delicious jerks I've had. Giving them a 5 even tho they didn't have any coleslaw or steamed veg. P.S you need to wear your patience hat when go there.
