Reviews of Tropical Paradise highlight a lively Montreal spot for Caribbean comfort food, with generous portions, fresh tasting dishes, and a broad menu that includes roti, doubles, jerk chicken, oxtail and goat doubles; oxtail is often praised as fall off the bone tender and flavorful, while chicken can be variable and some find it lacks flavor, though chicken roti is frequently delicious and doubles are repeatedly praised; service is fast and friendly, staff are welcoming, and takeout and a terrace are noted as convenient, making Tropical Paradise a go to for flavorful Caribbean food in the city, with many reviewers saying it is among their favorites and that they will be back.
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.

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.
