Island Spice Flava - Scarborough

The food was great, I got myself a regular J Chicken Meal w/ rice and peas and oxtail sauce on top. Their cole slaw was surprisingly very good and I definitely recommend getting that as a side. The J Chicken was very well seasoned and tender. The meat itself was also very good and tasted high quality. The only downside is that the quantity of food I personally believe was very little for the pricing, I wish they put way more. I will definitely go here again.

Simply put, just some of the best food you will taste. The flavour profiles, spice levels, texture, freshness, everything is on point.The J Chicken is one of the best (I personally say the best) authentic J Chicken in Scarborough, Toronto and GTA. The spice rub/marinade is the perfect balance. Savoury and smokey without being overly salty or too spicy. Its great that a variety of side salads are offered to complement the main. They also put real oxtail gravy on the rice and peas. Mmm, mmm. (Also, unbeatable price at $13)Oooo, now the Oxtail. This is a dish that will be expensive anywhere you go, so if you're looking to treat yourself, you'lll want to make sure it's worth it.Now, Island Spice Flava is definitely the place to go for this. The side of oxtail will run you about $23, but dont let the size of the container fool you. This will easily feed 2 hungry people.Whomever prepared this put some serious love into their cooking. The richness and decadence of this oxtail makes it a worthwhile indulgence. The flavour profile is deep and the thickness of the sauce is just right to get into every part of the meat and bone and still coat the outside.This meal(s) truly hits the spot. I always devoured it in my car in front of the store.

Ordered the lunch time special food 5 bits of shrimp and rice they have cut the portions so much. Charging people $15 for

The customer service was very poor. i revived attitude while i was trying to order my food. the macaroni pie was terrible! it wasn’t cooked properly and it was wet with oil. the plantains were clearly over ripe yet, they still use it. i do not recommend.the Barbecue fry chicken was disgusting! there was extra fat under the skin and there was barely any meat. i recommend frying your chicken without the skin and hire people with better customer service. i would never revisit this “restaurant”.

The food was delicious and renovation made the restaurant looks fancy. They have new containers and I think the owner is trying to pay for his reno by having his customers pay for it in one month. The food portion is smaller than normal. This restaurant is rated , not sure how this is possible. Paying 20 for a meal without drink should never be a sign.
