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 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 😊
This is some amazing authentic rotis, super delicous, well cooked. Lots of curry deliciousness. I'd recommend the goat. It's heavy on the sauce so I ate it with a nice bowl of rice, not sure if they have rice but I ate it at home with rice & it was soooo good. Great spot for take out!
I'm from out of town & was looking for some good Jamaican food. But, I found this Trini spot & decided to try it. The food was decent. Oxtail was too sweet for my liking. It's just not what I'm used to. I guess that's how Trini people cook their oxtail. The flavor was good, though. Also, I had the curry goat roti. This was a bit disappointing in the sense that there were no bones. I've never had de-boned curry goat before. But again, the flavor was good. Overall, the food was good & the service was definitely on par!
So something I've learned about this place is that the food is premade & just heated in the microwave. This is probably the reason I got food poisoning for 3 days. I ate the goat roti & got so sick overnight & could not keep anything in my system for days.
Best Carribean food I've had in 25 years!!! Took recommendations for goat rotie & I couldn't eat the whole thing, so delicious 😋 & homemade hot sauce (scotch bonnets) was worth the extra heat! 🔥💪 Took the rest home for lunch or Kate night snack. Recommend you get off the Decarie for this.
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.

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!"
Came here for the first time tonight & although the lady at the cash was nice & the food was good, I won't be back. They serve you like in a fast food resto, you order at the cash & pay, then you go sit at a table while you wait for your order. When your food is ready, the cashier puts it on a tray & calls out your order so you can go get your tray of food. This is totally fine. But when we were done eating, one person in my group returned her tray to the counter (where we had picked up our food) & a grumpy man came out of the kitchen & raised his voice at us « WHO LEFT THEIR TRAY HERE Do not leave your garbage on MY counter!! » He could have told us nicely to place our trays in the other section which my friend didn't see (because it was our first time eating here!!) There was no need to rudely speak to us especially since we all left a tip for « service » that was identical to a fast food joint. We would have appreciated a polite request to bring our trays to the trash bins. Food was a little on the pricey side but still acceptable, I paid 35$ including tax & tip for a jumbo roti goat with a spoonful of rice & salad & a can of coke. If you go, make sure you don't accidentally return your tray on the man's counter because you may get yelled at.
