My go to dish is bbq jerk, they got a $12.99 special, will recommend with rice/peas with oxtail gravy and the pasta salad as the sides (2 side options). There is parking in the plaza but always packed and a line up always anytime of the day so give yourself sometime, take out only no dine in, also halal options available.

I was looking for something to go with a new Trinidad-style hot sauce we picked up and found Island Spice Flava. Finding this spot was the best thing that happened to me this week. It was big inside, but there was no seating. It had a fence all around, reminding me of the pandemic times.The staff, speaking from behind their barricade and the food display, paired my three "All Day Special" orders with rice and peas without asking. While they were well seasoned and very filling, I would have preferred selecting my sides. Although they offered salad choices, the lack of labels led me to opt for the familiar ones, which were coleslaw and macaroni. It was a slight learning curve for a first-time visitor.Jerk Chicken: This authentic Jamaican dish boasted spices and tender meat so flavourful, it rendered my hot sauce unnecessary—a standalone masterpiece.Fried Chicken: Despite not being freshly fried to a crisp, its batter and meat paired remarkably well with our hot sauce.BBQ Chicken: This sweet and savoury dish was equally enjoyable on its own or enhanced with our hot sauce.Priced around $15 per item, the value was impressive. Although it was a challenge to order for the first time, the quality and taste of the food justified the visit. I'd like to return to try some of their other items on the menu, especially the oxtail.
On a mission to match a fiery new Trini style hot sauce with some worthy eats, I hit the jackpot with this spot. The portions? Huge. The flavor? Unmistakably bold. Each dish I dived into seemed like it was waiting its whole life for this hot sauce, making for pairings that were nothing short of legendary. We took out BBQ chicken, jerk chicken, and fried chicken, each resting on a bed of rice infused with its own spice melody, far from being mere background players. The synergy between the rich flavors of spices in the chicken and the vibrant kick of the hot sauce was like a well-orchestrated dance of heat and taste. Sure, the coleslaw could have used a bit of a tweak, but it was easy to overlook when everything else on the plate was hitting high. By the time I remembered it was there, I was too caught up in the rest of the meal’s brilliance to care. Honestly, if I could have this meal every day, I would.Vegetarian options: Although limited, there’s some steamed vegetable options available.Dietary restrictions: Soybean in the rice.Kid-friendliness: Fried chicken and rice are mildly marinated, not too strong.
One of my go to restaurants in Scarborough. Great selection of food. I usually get the jerk chicken meal.

I'm Jamaican and I know how good island food supposed to taste and trust me this is not it. Everything was stale and tasteless. Two food for $44 that's wild never again thatwas my first and last ??

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE. Management needs to hire an entire new staff. These ladies are rude, disrespectful, disgusting attitudes & they are horrible people. I don’t get how all of these people can be so rude. First off, I will start by saying that their food is great, I did have food that went off (funny smell & taste within the pasta & coleslaw) other than that, no problems. The last encounter I had with this place was so bad. They made me feel like NOTHING. Like I was a piece of trash. As a women, they have no respect. Especially the trini Indian one. She was so rude. A male customer was behind me in line, she went right past me & took his order instead. Another employee called her out in front of me & they had an argument in front of my face. By far the most unprofessional establishment I have been to. On top of that I ordered the Chinese special that specifically says on the menu comes 2 meats. When I was ordering my food I told the lady I wanted 2 meats while she dishing out my food. She told me it was to late & I couldn’t add the second meat when she didn’t even finish taking out my food. When she cashed me out I thought it would be cheaper since I only got 1 meat but it still ended up coming out to be the same price as the 2 meat. Completely took advantage & ripped me off & didn’t care one bit about their customers & not to mention this all happened in one day where I had experienced all of this. I don’t know why they all act like they hate their jobs. Just fire them all. They care about men more than women customers. Will never be coming back here no matter how good the food is. Customer service will always come first & they are HORRIBLE PEOPLE that need to have their mental states checked out. Ugly ugly attitudes. I was so distraught after coming here. Do not recommend this place.
