Overall, Tropical Paradise earns high marks for authentic Caribbean flavors, with roti that is freshly made and silky, oxtail that is fall off the bone tender, and a range of dishes like goat doubles, jerk chicken, curry goat roti, doubles, and mango puffs that reviewers call delicious and consistently excellent. Portions are big, flavors are rich and well seasoned, and the service is fast and friendly, with a welcoming vibe that keeps customers coming back. Several reviewers highlight it as a go to for Caribbean comfort food in Montreal, noting fair prices, good takeout options, and a convenient location near Snowdon, sometimes with a terrace. While the majority praise the quality and atmosphere, there are a few critiques such as dishes being too salty, oxtail tasting sweeter than some expect, a boneless curry goat roti, and one double being dry; still, the overall consensus is that Tropical Paradise offers fresh, flavorful food, strong variety, and consistent value that makes it a standout choice for Caribbean cuisine in the area.
I have to give 1 star in the past the restaurant was really a 5 star with the best jerk chicken in town ... but I don't know since the renovation everything have changed first the all the prices, then the rice is no longer the same, the dishes have become more expensive but smaller & the quality of food is no longer..... iam Really disappointing it's been 5 times I've been trying out since their renovation & it was the last. I don't know if it's new owners & who screwed up but it's totally Amazing how the taste & quality haves changed every time Iam disappointed..

One of my favorite Caribbean places ever not just Montreal the doubles are amazing stew chicken & BBQ chicken plate are my go too plates honest I eat it twice a week there that delicious the bossman there is a legend
I used to love ordering the jerk chicken from here! Unfortunately they now use chicken legs instead of the thighs & it's not as good. Also it seems like there is a lot less jerk seasoning & sauce
3.5 stars - Despite the food actually being fairly good, & some of the better Caribbean i've had in Montreal, I had a few issues with our order. First & foremost, the double was not a double. By definition a double contains a chickpea curry so I was expecting that plus the protein (chicken) & the traditional sauces. No chickpeas (thus no curry) & no sauce, just over cooked / dry chicken. The flavor of the chicken was good but still very disappointing as a meal. The jerk chicken plate, again tasted good, but was also over cooked & dry, even the dark meat. Again no hot sauce or anything to help with moisture. Ive never ordered from a Caribbean restaurant that didn't give hot sauce &/or picklez on the side. Also everything comes in a trio which means pop & rice. We don't drink pop & find it odd to give rice with a roti. No option to choose what your side or drink is. (I would have gladly taken sorrel & coleslaw.) I feel like more flexibility in ordering would have enhanced the meal.
Delicious food & great cook, I've ordered multiple times over the past years. The jerk chicken is 10/10, the curry goat roti is also 10/10. You can't really go wrong when ordering out or eating in, the food is always 10/10 The prices might be a little high but it's worth the price you're paying i've never regretted it once ordering a $50-$60 meal from here. I always receive great quality compared to other less desirable Caribbean places.
I don't know if I came on a bad day because the last time that I came it didn't taste like this. I bought the oaxtail & the jerk chicken wrap/burrito. The burrito costed me 18$ & there was like 3-4 cut of chicken & 99% of bread. Nothing else was included with that. The rice that came with the oaxtail had a weird taste I'm pretty disappointed
I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. The food is amazing, literally the best jerk chicken in the city imo. Great Trini food. Great family business. Everyone who works there is always so friendly. I literally eat their food at least once a week because it's so damn good.
I always take the oxtail or chicken stew, my boyfriend takes the jerk chicken. The flavors are incredible & the portions are generous, all at a reasonable price. Can't ask for more.
Wow,their Jerk chicken Rice is amazing.Really fresh & well cooked tender chicken with well cooked rice with jerk sauce,its excellent! Money well spent for the quantity & quality.Recommend this place to anyone who love Caribbean food or wants to try.
