Island Spice Flava

Friendly staff and good food is a great combination. Everything I've tried has been on point. It's worth the drive and price. Highly recommended. They deserve more than 5 stars

Service with a smile does not exist here. I read the negative reviews beforehand but still wanted to try out the place. I ordered 2 meal takeouts: Jerk Chicken and Oxtail. The older lady had an extremely sour attitude. The cuisine was new to me and I had mistakenly said "oxtail curry" instead of just 'oxtail' and the lady corrected me rather curtly/rudely. I was also not explained that I can have a choice of 2 sides - was served macaroni for both sides on both the orders... would have loved to try the coleslaw. At the time of payment, I wanted to try the fried dumpling and requested for it. The lady reacted rather rudely as if I had offended her by ordering more food. Total came to around $40 with tax. The food was rather delicious but the experience/customer service totally ruined it for me. What a shame because the food is delicious!

Great food, great price! Loads of selection. No seating inside, one of those meals you eat on your car, in your car or at home. Chicken was juicy, rice was soft, no need for gravy but you know I had to get it! Coleslaw is nice and sweet. Will definitely be back, I have to try the glazed fried chicken.

We grabbed take out from Island Spice Flava recently. Overall, we had a good experience but, we could see why you may find some mixed reviews. Anyways, we had Curry Goat and BBQ Jerk Chicken with Rice and Beans, side salads and, an order of Fried Chicken. The side salads were kind of “meh” but, the meats with the rice were absolutely tasty! The fried chicken, although slightly on the greasy side, just hit the right spot!

I’ve never had a bad experience at Island Spice before in terms of food quality however the last time I went there was a FLY cooked up in my rice and peas. Absolutely disgusting especially considering the cost of the meal. I could’ve gone back and complained I would’ve but unfortunately I live far and didn’t see it until I was home.

This place is fantastic. Decent portion and the oxtail gravy is nice. I really enjoy the deep fried chicken. The Jerk is good too! Highly recommended.

BBQ and and jerk chicken are must try at this spot Very clean place / some times Setvice is but slow but worth the wait Coleslaw is nice and creamy goes well with jerk spices. Going back soon. Insta: Tneats

This is what I got for $23.00. The food has a good flavour but not worth it. Literally 5 pieces of oxtail and 3 are juat fat. It's all rice and the rice tastes stale.

We ordered catered food for our work event and it was so good. Everyone was so impressed with the food. It was seasoned well and tasted delicious. They were also so sweet to deal with. Thank you! Will definitely be returning!! A gem in Scarborough!

Jerk Chicken is incredible. Type of chicken where you taste the flavour throughout and not just on the skin. I’ve also had the spicy shrimp which were equally as great. This food tastes like it was made with pure love. :
