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 recently had the pleasure of dinning at this restaurant, & was blown away by the expectational cleanliness & authentic cuisine. The freshness & quality of the ingredients shone through in every dish.The overall expectation was superb & I highly recommended this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal. The owner was so kind & welcoming making the experience even more special.
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 ordered plain rotis at this restaurant, & it exceeded my expectations! The roti was freshly made, with a perfect texture that was smooth & soft. It was generously sized, hot, & served just the right way. The best part? It felt light & healthy, making it the perfect accompaniment to any meal. Definitely a must-try for anyone who appreciates simple, quality food! Excellent service, guys! Keep the great work going!
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.
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.
