Don’s Caribbean Jerk Restaurant - Toronto

Listen, this is the best tasting Caribbean food one could ever consume. This Jerk Chicken and Oxtail is like no other. I believe the food that is prepared here at Don’s is prepared with so much love for the people. It’s too sweet to beat! I love, love this food and really do not mind the drive to obtain it. Go and check it out when you’re in the area! Big up to all the chefs and the entire work crew!

Don’s has no words that can describe the goodness it has to offer.

Brought some colleagues here for lunch and they were all beyond impressed. The jerk chicken was to absolutely die for, definitely some of the best in the city. Team really enjoyed their meals as well. The rice and peas were fresh and savoury.

The Jamaican patties are piping hot and always ready.

The seating area is quite comfortable and welcoming, easily allowing to enjoy the great food the place has to offer. The staff are always friendly and open to suggesting if you’re stuck unable to decide.

They have halal offerings too for those in need.

I ordered breakfast. Callaloo and salt fish with festival and Mackerel run down with fry dumpling. It came with porridge. One peanut ( was good) and one cornmeal (tasted of flour). Everything tasted good. Just the festival and dumpling were a bit hard. I put them in the microwave for a few seconds then they were fine. I got a small for each but they didn’t fill the container all the way. Other than that the food tasted good.

Amazing food. I work nearby and I grab the jerk chicken special at least 3 times a week if not more! The chicken is consistently fresh and the oxtail gravy is to die for. I was in Jamaica last month and nothing I ate there compares to flavour and spices Don's has to offer. Staff are always welcoming and ready to take your order with a smile. Hoping to see a location open up near my house too!

I tried a few items here.

The Rasta Pasta twice.
Beef Soup
Bbq Chicken
Ackee and salt fish with ground provisions

The restaurant is immaculate, and the person at the counter is very pleasant.
When I purchased food on various days the food wasn’t consistent.
The rice had a good flavour but it was over cooked.

Also purchased the Rasta Pasta with shrimp twice, first time it was good second time
the pasta was very mushy.

I also tried the beef soup which was delicious, the flavour was just right, and I wished I ordered a large.

I wasn’t fan of the bbq chicken, to me the chicken was too soft, like it was pre boiled.

The ackee breakfast was good, seasoned well.
