Island Hot and Spicy - Toronto, Ontario

Waste of money and waste of appetite. Thoroughly disappointed with this place. I ordered delivery for a large jerk with rice and a curry chicken roti. The jerk portion claimed to be large but was a very small portion of very, very dry stale ole chicken and useless rice. The ... curry chicken roti was not available, so it was swapped to a goat and rice dish. Whole thing was lacking flavour and freshness. It could be the biggest rip off in the city. Save your appetite and dollars for some place else. Yuk! Waste! Disappointed! Read more

Pretty average. Hardly any gravy and small pieces. Mediocre taste old chicken pieces. I'll give 1.5 stars to the rice and peas though. They're much better spots out there don't bother.

I walked in to two people behind the counter. One individual was too busy on the phone to acknowledge my as a customer. The other man with arm in a sling was fast asleep. Highly unprofessional. Both men went to the back and a younger lady came out to serve ... me and did not look happy. I asked for ackee and salt fish with a roti. As they did not have curried chick peas. She wasn't very helpful with helping me substitute. She wrapped my ackee and salt fish Inside of the roti which I find to be anti Jamaican!!! This store needs to be shut down. Read more

Good food, good music! I walked past this place a while ago and saved it on my map. Since then I had seen it pop-up on delivery platforms as well, but I wanted to try it in person first before ordering. And I wasn't disappointed! I had a large Jerk Chicken with ... plantains and it tasted delicious. The portion may look small at first sight but I think that's mostly because the box is so tightly packed (sidenote: I actually prefer these kinds of boxes over the big styrofoam ones). I was pretty stuffed after finishing it. The dude at the counter was quite friendly and the music playing in the store was also pretty nice, some of the old Reggae classics. Overall I can't complain, I'll definitely be ordering food from here in the future. Edit: Their opening hours are not correct though, they are not open 24h. I have tried to order from them a couple of times around midnight and the store always turned out to be closed. So I'm removing one star for inaccurate opening hours. Read more

Pleasant experience at Island Hot & Spicy today. Loved the prompt service with a smile! A pricey lunch, however, the portion size was generous. Overall very pleased and looking forward to trying the steamed fish next visit.
