Faybee's Restaurant draws praise for bold flavors with dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat and oxtail, as well as griot and patties, with many finding the food delicious and authentic; however several reviews note inconsistent portions, dry sides and occasional dips in quality, along with online ordering and billing hiccups. Overall the place is seen as a lively Caribbean option where takeout is convenient, some visits shine with outstanding meals, and repeated visits happen for those craving the flavors.
Faybee's is more of a take-out place, there are however a few tables if you want to be seated. The food is great! The roti's & plates are well proportioned & nicely seasoned. Very much recommended!
Have to bring down the rating because this is one of the most inconsistent restaurants I've ever eaten from. Sometimes, the food is amazing. Truly, the very best version of itself. Other times, they just throw the worst chicken scraps, full of bones & with a strange texture, into your plate. Maybe one of their chefs just does not care. This has happened to me several times, including today. When it's great, it's easy to recommend, but it's such a gamble every single time that I don't think I'll go back any time soon.

I ordered the Wham Bham Jerk sub & unfortunately wasn't to pleased. The chicken I'd say was tasty but it unfortunately tasted as if the bread was microwaved to warm up it was very rubbery & the same with my double i also ordered. The double was very dry & rubbery as well.
Today I ordered two chicken foot soups but I didn't get chicken foot soup, instead I got beef soup with one chicken foot in each bowl one boul had hardly any chicken on it.
I contacted back the restaurant to let them know that I ordered two chicken foot soups Not beef soups, the owe said that it was mixed with both chicken & beef I told her there wasn't much but any chicken foot in the soups she said that she was the one who shared the food.....I know what I had & it was beef soups which I didn't ordered.
Not happy with what happened with my order...
I can't complain about the soups other than it needs more food in it for the price it was a large soup that costs $16
The soups taste is 8.5/10 I will buy the soup again if things can improve overall great restaurant because I ordered from them before Jerk chicken was very good.
Absolutely delicious. I got the jerk chicken plate while my friends went for the jerk poutine both were excellent. Can't wait to return & try their other options
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 😒
Delicious jerk chicken poutine. Food was prepared with care & the banana drink (Makaya banana) was delicious & still nice & cold when it arrived. They were careful to prepare the food according to my dietary restrictions, which I appreciate alot. We look forward to eating from there again (:
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.
