The best food court food I have ever eaten! Located at Gerrard Square Mall. These dudes should franchise this and branch out so that other places through out the city can have access to their great food! Love the curry chicken and jerk chicken, stewed chicken. I haven’t had a bad dish from this place
Tucked away at the back of the Gerrard Square lies Tropical Joes. These guys are making a name for themselves by serving, perhaps, the best food court fare in the city. I eat here at least every couple of weeks, and each time I do the queue gets a little bit longer. Hopefully after reading this, Ill be seeing you in line on a regular basis.Guyanese favourites such as Oxtail, Goat, Curried Beef and Jerk Chicken are served either as a Dinner (small or large w/ Rice & Peas, Curried Potato and Coleslaw) or rolled-up in a Roti (small or large).These days, Im finding that the large is actually too much food for lunch, though I will tend to order a Goat Patty if I opt for the small and wash everything down with a Ting (as you do).Tropical Joes has been family-owned and-operated for the past twenty years. It wasnt until Joes son Chris took the helm in 2006 that they moved to Gerrard Square. This place is home to me, says Chris. I try to provide home-cooking that can be enjoyed on a daily basis. Its what I eat everyday, and the same can be said for our most loyal customers.A recent menu expansion has provided the regular customer with more options while attracting the local high-school clientele by catering to their tastes. Jerk Chicken Poutine with Oxtail Gravy is a big hit, as are their Jerk Chicken Sandwiches on Coco Bread. Jerk Chicken is our number-one seller here, says Chris. Add it to practically anything on the menu, including one of their daily soups. Be sure to ask for their homemade hot sauce.Everything can be spiced-to-taste by request.Were all familiar with the old saying, if you build it, they will come. Chris has been working hard doing just that: building loyalty through his Guyanese home cooking. Located in the back of a place that, historically speaking, does not have the most foot traffic, slowly but surely Gerrard Square is moving in the right direction. Words getting out that its worth the trip to Tropical Joes. The addition of some new anchor stores cant hurt either;) torontofoodblog.com
Roti. The staff and the food are great.
Friendly staff and great west Indian fare with loads of fresh flavour. Eaten here many times and it’s consistently good. Not your usual food court crap… I recommend it for those who want some authentic eats from the Carribean!
Don’t let the Gerrard Square food court location fool you. This is real good, real west indie food that became a favourite after being recommended to me by my friend from Ghana. Welcome too here after the Dutch Pot closed down.
