Tropikis Restaurant

BUYER BE WARE! Our first time at this restarant. Have been to Jamaica 3 times but only "resort" cuisine. Have wanted to check out Tropikis for awhile now, so my wife and another couple we go out for lunch at different restaurants about once a month or so, and after reading the reviews decided today would be Tropikis. We went to Tropikis, for a late lunch, with what I thought were "eyes wide open". The HostessMichelle was very personable, knowledgeable and charasmatic. Explained that since they were having difficulty hiring dishwashers since Covid, place settings would be "high end" disposable. We thought we understood and then ordered 2 Combination plates, 2 Roti, 4 salads, and 6 Jamaican Patties, and drank water plastic glass, fast service plastic knife-fork-spoon, paper plates, proper nakins. Food was interesting, unique , flavorful. Not 5 star but certainly better than 3++. The HUGE surprise was when we went to the Hostess to pay the Bill...........................It was $160. The Food Quality and Chef's creative mind is not the issue, here............. Too bad that this restaurant feels the need to gouge the patrons to account for poor management decisions or lack of creativity wrt the day to day overhead issues. Unfortunatley at these prices, these 4 customers would prefer to share our dine out budget with 2 or 3 other deserving restaurateurs that are in the business of developing return clientele. I strongly suspect we will not be back to Tropikis!

Food is great .I always go there for my Roti. Parking: Parking not so great.

Been going here for D's style beef rotti for years. Always fantastic...the area sucks but I not there for area. There for the rotti. Best rotti in winnipeg.Food: 4/5

The salad is fantastic - bright with lots of interesting fruits. The food is warm and rich, but the service is often slow. The server will definitely try to talk you into ordering more food/drinks than you intended to.

Food was excellent! WOW! The amount of BEEF in my Roti and the amount of CHICKEN in my wife's Roti! We were totally full once we were done eating and it was delicious We also tried one of their Jamaican Salads which was full of different kinds of fruits, fruits I didn't think would taste GOOD together but they did! AN AWESOME PLACE! VERY FRIENDLY!

Food used to be excellent. While the food is still pretty good, It's gone downhill. The patties are store bought, rice tastes like it's been reheated and the chicken roti is a bit salty. I'd give the food a 3/5 stars. The bigger problem is the disrespect to customers, and employees from the owners. I Can clearly hear the chef yelling and swearing at the employees from the front. The lady in the front was very rude and would gossip about employees to customers, and the bathrooms are a nightmare. Atmosphere of the restaurant is a 1/5 and customer service is a 2/5 for me. I did use to work here a few years back and left because of the abuse. I would recommend against going to this restaurant. It is not safe for kids, chef is abusive to his employees and the lady in the front is very rude to customers.

We were shown a take out menu and proceeded to place our order and paid. THEN we were informed that the price that we saw on the menu were from the "old" menu that they hadn't gotten around to getting "new" ones and they could do "nothing" about it. I asked why are they handing out old menu's rather than printing up new ones with current and accurate pricing as it is just a sheet of paper anyway, her response again was "there is nothing we can do about it" I told her that was false advertising and she blame "vivid" for the rise. Why would you sneakily advertise at one price then charge another? Untrustworthy and deceitful business practices.

Absolutely loved Tropikis restaurant. The food was very fresh and flavourful. I would highly recommend this great little place!

After being told for years that I should go, I finally dropped in and got the hot chicken/rice/salad combo. It was so good! The best I’ve had in the city. I’ll definitely be going back. Take out service was great, the process in store was warm and friendly. We chatted about a bunch of stuff. Excellent first impression, and like I said, the food was incredible.

Went there on the recommendation of a friend. Arrived at 5:25 and they close at 6. Made me feel very unwelcome and stated twice that they close soon. Also argued with someone on the phone about closing time while I waited to be acknowledged. Hey, if you put in that much effort to get me out without spending money, fine by me haha I live in the area and most likely would have been back several times if they even showed the slightest desire for my business. Their loss
