Cravins - Markham, Ontario

When I first walked in, there was loud music (good music but a bit loud when trying to place my order). I also had to call back to the kitchen for someone to help me as there was no one at the counter for a while. A teenager came out ... and did not know how to input my order so he had to go back to get older woman to help him. I got curry chicken roti wrap, side rice and peas with oxtail gravy, and jerk leg. The roti itself was good and they did not skip on filling it. The jerk flavour reminded me of pre-made jar jerk sauce, which was very disappointing. Overall, the food was eatable but lacked flavour and spice (except the jerk). I was expecting the oxtail gravy to be amazing but it again lacked flavour and it was more sweet tasting than spicy. Same with the curry chicken. The photos make the atmosphere look better than it is. The outdoor seating wasn't set up nicely or properly. Read more

Nice Caribbean place. They have a daily special (it was Jerk Chicken with rice and peas with coleslaw + a pop) that’s under $10! Very tasty. Boo-urns that I didn’t take pictures.

My first time, new to the area due to work and was “craving” some yaad food. Well it didn’t disappoint!

I've been searching for some tasty authentic W. I. food. First and last time we will buy from this place. The rice and peas, curry goat and patty, were UNBELIEVABLY DRY! The goat 'gravy' was more like paste, the rice was missing the coconut cream and the 5 pieces ... of oxtail (large size meal) was cut SO THIN, not even 1/2 in thick. The flavour was basic. Overall quite disappointed. Read more

This was my first time trying Cravins. I was simply looking to take out. My first impression when I walked in I was greeted by good vibe music. It has a nice atmosphere but there was no hot food nor service at the front desk. Not a good look in ... my opinion. After about a minute or two, a dark skin woman in her 20s came to serve me. She wasn't very friendly when I asked a few questions about whether or not I could get two meats in a dinner plate and the size options. After I placed my order, she went to the back to put everything together. You cannot visually see any food being prepared. I order an ox tail dinner which comes with rice and peas and coleslaw. It was tasty and served hot. The meat portion was on the smaller size but over it was filled with all that rice. Overall, I'd give this place 3.5/5. There are better places to be had. The price was average and fair. Read more
