Overview of the reviews shows Janette's Spicy Caribbean Food as a much loved, homey spot with authentic Jamaican flavors, where jerk chicken is repeatedly described as among the best, the curry goat tender and richly spiced, and roti and beef patties earning high marks; portions are generous, prices are affordable, and the in-house hot sauce adds a memorable kick. Takeout is convenient and often praised, though peak times can bring longer waits and occasional brief closures; staff are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, creating a warm, neighborhood vibe and a sense of value that makes it a go-to for both dine-in and takeaway across the West Island and beyond.
Finally got to try this place, did not disappoint! The family that runs it is very kind & welcoming & the food was delicious & affordable. Highly recommend!
Delicious food, you can tell it was cooked with heart & soul. We got the jerk chicken & fried dumplings, all was fresh & tasty. Great people, highly recommend!
At Janette's Caribbean Island, Raj was kind enough to offer my friend & I to try a fried dumpling with our chicken roti order. Both were delicious. We will definitely be going there again for more roti & to try other meals from the menu. Besides the tasty food, the service was excellent & Raj was friends & inviting.
I recommend Janette's Caribbean Island!
Best jerk chicken i have tried in canada. Hidden gemlike a special quest in a video game. I have been many times to jamaica & Janette's spicy is way better then most i have tried. I definitly will be back for more. Thank you for your good work. Taste like love.

Staff so very kind very friendly! Food was so delicious not easy to find goat that so tender & flavourful but yet also very affordable. Portions very generous a plate of goat for 16$
Slowly cooked curry goat brings back memories of the island! Their jerk chicken even emits wood smoky flavours! Everything went down perfectly with their in house fruity chilli sauce. Highly recommended!
