Across reviews Faybee's Restaurant earns praise for bold Caribbean flavors and dishes like jerk chicken, griot, goat curry, oxtail, roti, and patties, with many noting the food is delicious and the atmosphere lively or cozy, yet several comments highlight inconsistency in portions and meat quantity, including small portions for the price and oxtail not always tender. Takeout and online ordering experiences are mixed, with occasional price discrepancies, missing extras, and busy service that can feel urgent or loud. Some visitors had off days where dishes did not meet expectations, while others call Faybee's a hidden gem and a reliable go to for flavorful meals and good drinks. Seating is limited and takeout is common, but the overall impression remains that the flavors are strong and authentic, even if consistency varies and service can be uneven.
Had the oxtail & chicken curry roti. Both was 🔥. It hit that late night craving I was havin'.
Tried the griot another day & it was nice. Fresh. The sauce for the rice is so good.
My wife & I went to try out this restaurant,the seating area is small but you feel a vibrant caribbean atmosphere. The menu is very bold & accurate for customers to view.
Food: I ordered oxtail,rice & peas,my wife ordered red snapper with rice & peas but at the moment they were sold out so she got King fish instead.I have to honestly say the food was up to standards as a Jamaican man,we enjoyed our meal & toasted it down with a ginger beer & one vitamin.

I ordered takeout from this place. I know that restaurants live & die by these reviews so I don't say this lightly. Do not eat here. The chicken curry made me *literally* call 911 because I thought I had been poisoned. I can not describe the experience of eating the green, greasy sauce with unidentifiable spices, incredible & unexpected heat & an odd chemical taste I couldn't get out of my mouth for hours after. Some of the sides (rice, plantain) were relatively decent but the rest was not fit for human consumption. I have contacted the city health department. Avoid this place.
I ordered a Griot plate - I received 3 burned plantains - they were extremely hard.
The griot was good, nice & hot but the rice was cold I had to warm it up 😒
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so good. Rice is not dry but not too flavorful either, the sauce is sweet & tasty, the salad is nice. However, the jerk chicken is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Best I've ever had HANDS DOWN. Will probably be back tomorrow for more. They also give you a bit of that pepper sauce (Komla?) that you only get in the Caribbean - it's a bit spicy so watch out haha.
But seriously. Props to whoever made that recipe. It was delicious.
Today, I had a true Caribbean food experience at this hidden gem. I ordered the curry goat, & my friend chose the oxtail; both came with a side salad, rice, two plantains, a small Jamaican bread, a very spicy sauce (watch out-it's really hot!), & a drink. They have some variety of Jamaican drinks.
The goat meat was tender & moist, & it was my first time trying oxtail, which was also delicious. We sat outside since the weather was beautiful today.
The man who served us was polite & kind, taking time to explain the menu & dishes thoroughly.
I highly recommend this place.
Love this place. The staff is so polite & sweet. I have tried their patties & they are delicious. Jeri Chicken & rice is yum... Surely coming back for other things. They have a green spicy sauce & wow.. one of the spiciest sauces, had to be extra careful with that !

Wir hatten Lust auf Jamaikanisches Essen, suchten auf Google Maps nach einem gut bewerteten Restaurant und so landeten wir bei Faybee's. Faybee's Restaurant bietet Karibische Küche und hat viele Gerichte aus Jamaika auf der Karte. Eine der Köchinnen ist Jamaikanerin. Wir hatten das Jerk Chicken, welches eines der besten war, welches wir außerhalb Jamaikas gegessen haben. Es ist über Holzkohle gegrillt, was den typischen Geschmack bringt. Gut gewürzt, aber nicht zu scharf. Die Sauce wird extra gereicht, mit extra Scharfmacher dazu. Man kann die Schärfe selbst justieren, was wir sehr gut fanden. Dazu gibt es Rice & Peas und Fried Plantain. Die Portion ist mit dem inkludierten kleinen Salat reichlich. Außerdem hatten wir noch Festivals, welche so waren, wie wir sie aus Jamaika kennen. Außen knusprig, innen fluffig. Faybee's Restaurant ist von der Größe eher ein Imbiß. Es gibt 2 Tische für jeweils 4 Personen und 3 Plätze auf Barhockern am Fenster. Im Sommer kann man auch draußen sitzen. Die Dekoration ist wie in einem Imbiß in Jamaika. Viel geht über Take Away, entsprechend ist ein Kommen und Gehen, aber es macht Spaß, zuzuschauen. Faybee's Restaurant hat viele Stammgäste. Wir wurden sehr gastfreundlich aufgenommen und bedient und hatten rundherum ein angenehmes und schönes Erlebnis in Faybee's Restaurant in Montreal.
My usual spot was closed & I randomly came across Faybee's! This was some of the best jerk chicken I ever had! Everything felt homemade, the portions were generous & the prices were reasonable. The hot sauce was very hot but I wish they gave me a bit more, same with the other sauce on the side it complemented the chicken & the rice perfectly. Definitely coming back here again!
