Just got a chance to try out there new location at kennedy and 14th in markham. This location is spacious, with dine in available (limited seating) and free parking. Allow yourself 15-30min for your order. We ordered the jerk chicken poutine, jerk meal with rice and peas (they use basmati rice) with veggies and fried chicken with coleslaw and veggies (coleslaw is the made with vinegar and tastes amazing and tangy!) I love how consistent with the food, hits the spot everytime and staff were eally friendly and welcoming.
From the moment I walked in, the staff's warmth and friendliness made me feel right at home. Despite the lunch rush, the service was impressively swift.The star of the meal was undoubtedly the jerk shawarma. Bursting with Caribbean flavors, each bite was a delightful blend of spices and tender meat. What stood out to me was the attentiveness of the servers. Despite the busy period, they ensured everyone was well taken care of. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving a taste of the Caribbean with a side of excellent service.Only strange thing is, I didn’t see fries on their menu even though you are able to order it. I know menus are difficult to create with space limitations, but I felt like I wasn’t sure if I was maybe missing out on options because they weren’t put on the menu.

If you're not willing to travel outside of Scarborough for great jerk food, this is one of a few places that I feel is good to try. The jerk is more wet, tangy/salty in terms of taste. In terms of customer service, I've been to enough black owned business to know to not expect much, so it is what it is. For some odd reason, they sell shawarma at this Jamaican joint. LOL. I was thinking maybe there's a middle eastern guy working here but everyone there was black, except Steve (he's looks Asian). Would of made sense if they served fried rice instead of shawarma than, lol. Cultural appropriation aside, foods good if you're not willing to travel outside Scarborough for great jerk.

This was our first time ever trying poutine. I live in the states and so wish there was a Chris Jerks back home!The poutine was of french fries, which were covered with shawarma and gravy!! It was plenty for 2 people to share, though next time I'm getting my own!!Kid-friendliness: Kids will love the food!
I would like to give them more stars. Their food (what I have had once before) was tasty. However, their "customer service" leaves much to be desired (from two visits). The first one visit involved trying to buy some shawarma poutine. I got up to the order desk to only to be told no more shawarma. Ok, fine, no biggie. It happens towards the end of the day (early dinnertime, but it could be popular). Only to have someone else's shawarma poutine order to be placed in front of me (after I changed my order). A bit annoying (especially with the curt attitude of the order taker), but surely it's just a one time thing I thought.So recently I was passing by (at 5pm) and thought to myself, "Hey, let's try them again"... And this was the more aggravating visit. I enter and to the right I see a chalk board with "Daily Specials"... they list three different specials. "Ok, let's try one"... so walk up to the order area and ask for one of the specials. "Sorry, daily specials end at 4pm" (note I was there at 5pm and they were still posted)... We still have the stuff for the specials, but you have to pay full price. (and then one of the staff from the back runs out to take down the various special meal stickers)Sadly, customer service is not their strong point. In fact, to be told "Hey, we have the stuff for the specials and we forgot to remove the specials list but you have to pay full pop" (and who ends their daily special at 4pm??? If it's a lunch special, call it that) leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. As I said, I did have some of their offerings before (not what I wanted, but let's get past that) and it was very tasty. But especially how the second visit went down? Sorry, I won't be back and I cannot recommend them.

I've been waiting half an hour for the takeout, which was unacceptably long. The worst part was that over 10 ppl ordered after me they got the food first. I raised my concern, and no one cared! I dont care how tasty the food is, if the service is that had. Very bad experience, I swear I would never come
This is the place to meet and eat great food
