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 was excited until I ate it no pepper no shalabany as promised to put on the side for me & the taste of the double too dry not enjoyable at all I don't kno what ima do wit the 5 rest of double I got left
I've heard about this West Indian gem of a restaurant for years & finally made a trip with my mom some weeks ago. I ordered a regular & jerks doubles, a Sorrel & an Aloo pie. Fantastic. It was absolutely delicious. The prices are right. The service was very friendly. I will definitely be returning. See You soon.
I love this place! The food is delicious, the people are friendly & in 20 years of coming here, I've never been disappointed!
Thank you!
I love the goat doubles 😊
Fantastic food every time. The roti is cooked perfectly. The doubles are my favorite. It's hard to get good doubles outside of Trinidad & Toronto. Montreal doesn't really have many options. A lot of places microwave their frozen doubles & serve it to you. You can tell it's made fresh.
To the person that had a review with'These people aren't even Jamaican, they're Indian!' yea &? ever hear of Indo-Caribbean people in Trinidad & Guyana. They didn't claim to be a Jamaican restaurant, it's just a Caribbean restaurant. Jamaican people aren't the only people to make Caribbean food.
Definitely one of my favorite places to get Caribbean food.
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
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.
Best hot sauce in Montreal! Delicious roti, jerk, & doubles! Someday, I will try the oxtail stew & the breadfruit roti. But when I walk through that door, all I'm ever thinking is, "goat roti with LOTS of that magic orange sauce!"
the sign says you can have the oxtail with or without bone so when i asked for it boneless the man told me it already came like that... what do i see when i get home ? a mediocre amount of meat with HUMONGOUS bones for 25$! amazing !! i mean it's fine if that's how you serve it but maybe i would've picked something else ? also the meat & rice was not tasty at all & i'm not a picky eater should i also mentioned that the guy at the cash literally wouldn't tell me the size of the doubles & directed me to the picture as if it was a proper example. rude, expensive & misleading
November 3, 2023 Once again I had the best Chicken Roti, with hot sauce. The place sells lots of other things & I've been going here for many years. Today a slice of Pumpkin pie caught my attention. Well after eating it I just had to write a review. It was so delicious, not too sweet, a nice big slice. It went so well after my roti. Go for the roti but don't forget the Pumpkin Pie. 2022 review...Best roti I've had in Montreal. Friendly service. Very clean place. Chicken doubles are delicious too.
