Many reviewers praise Janette's Spicy Caribbean Food for authentic Jamaican flavors, with jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail, and beef patties highlighted and rice and peas and plantains often described as spot on. Described as a hidden gem with generous portions and a homemade feel, the meals come with friendly, welcoming service. Takeout is the focus, with many recommending calling ahead or ordering in advance and noting that a takeout counter setup means you may wait at busy times. Several notes mention visibility issues and occasional long waits or brief closures, but diners say the drive is worth it and that the place ranks among the best Caribbean spots in the area. Overall, the dishes arrive hot and flavorful, with a smoky, well seasoned jerk chicken and well balanced sides that keep bringing people back.
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!
