Allwyn's - Jamaican Restaurant

Best spot for patties and jerk chicken sandwiches. I used to go to the one in Toronto all the time. Glad to see that they've branched out to Pickering!

However the atmosphere is welcoming the food is autrociously stale. Like no one wants to throw out dated or day before food.
Let's mix old rice and peas with new rice or frozen and warm up rice, no food here to waste.
They will persuade you that it's fresh, I am a foodie, a connersuer of food, a blue seal sous chef (US) and you best believe that food is STALE, NOT FRESH. So.

I had the goat curry roti and it was delicious. The meat was perfectly tender, the roti was very fresh. The portion size was huge and very generous with meat. Will be coming back to try more things on the menu.

If you have not had the PLEASURE of eating here, IMO, you are missing out on the best place in Durham to get some extraordinarily good Caribbean food. I have finally run the gauntlet on the menu pretty much, and nothing but great tasting food so far folks. The "Stuffed Sandwich" has become my fav, (with jerk chicken) and for the prices, you won't be disappointed. Not expensive, not cheap.fair for the food offered and that's what we're al looking for. Give it a try!

This places has insanely good jerk chicken! Iv had jerk chicken all over even in Jamaica and this has to top all of them!
And don’t get me started on the stuffed jerk chicken sandwich
And fair prices to boot!
Worked around the corner for 3 month and been there basically every day!
Highly suggest giving it a try

Underhill location has better tasting food. Meat is good and rice is really dry and bland should of ask for a lot of sauce

Great meal and very fast service as they have everything on a hot table. Definitely ask for the hot sauce if you like heat. I normally get the Jerk Chicken on Rice and Peas with extra sauce. Never disappointed yet. Would highly recommend.

I’ve had their jerk chicken sandwich before they are really good, then today decided to grab dinner after long hours of work i got oxtail with rice and peas, jerk chicken sandwich, chicken curry, chicken curry roti, patty on coco bread and beef patty and damn everything is really good they gave you a good portion, the only thing that i’m complaining is i wish staffs are bit more friendly too serious they don’t smile at you thats why i had this negative vibe inside the store but like i said we like the food and definitely will be back but pls next time try to smile you’ll get a happy customers.

So happy there’s a Pickering location! Food tastes the way I remembered it from childhood. Highly recommend everyone tries what they’re known for at least once: 1. Stuff sandwich (Patty, jerk meat, slaw in coco bread) and 2. Jerk Chicken.

Tried this food chain for the first time today for lunch. I ordered the Jerk Chicken sandwich and heard good reviews so I decided to try it out myself. It was one of the best Jerk Chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Good flavour, juicy and the meat was tender. The coleslaw added a nice sweetness to it. My preference but I wish it was a bit spicier. I heard their spicy beef patties were delicious so I got one as well. I was very disappointed when i seen my beef patty. It was hard like a rock and very over baked. I’m not sure if it happened in the back when they took it out the oven or if the temperature of the warmer was too high. But nonetheless I didn’t end up finishing the beef patty.

Just had lunch there today.

Stuffed chicken patty with jerk chicken, coleslaw, cocobread, pineapple grace soda.

Bussin'!

Watching the funny encounter between the old brown lady and old Asian lady working the counter was worth more than the food.

Coming back for the pork and wings.

The portion of serving is very small almost no meat. Not worth it for small size $14.00. Never coming back to this location.

Only had the patties, but DAMN, they are delicious! Best Jamaican patty I've ever had. Highly recommend.

I am so happy this place exists. Food is amazing, portion and pricing are good. It always hit the spot for me. The roti are delicious

Food hit or miss. The real issue ordered skip here twice. Charging for fork 75 cents unheard of. Should i eat with my hands? Small portions and no pepper sauce even when written in instructions. You from the Caribbean right? Who don't use pepper sauce to eat. Food too dry want to pay for extra sauce to, will get a container with oil leftover juice. Lord do better. Too many jerk place out there. The search continues.

(Ajax Location) Got the jerk stuffed patty. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Not bad. A bit over priced. $9 for a Patty is pretty wild. Patty was on the dryer side. Scarborough and the west end of Toronto still hold the crown for best west Indian/carribbean cuisine. I'll just stick to the usual spots I guess.

Ordered 3 Jerk Chicken Sandwiches and a Vegetarian Roti. Expected the food to be good because of the North York Location, but the Jerk Chicken lacked flavor and the Vegetarian Roti was overpowered by tumeric.

Still have a lot of items to try but the ones I've tasted are absolutely delicious. Every item I've experienced was always fresh. Great pepper sauce. Always prefer giving my money to places like these rather than chains. Can't go wrong stopping by here for some good authentic Caribbean food.

This is the best of the BEST jerk chicken in the whole world. This place was in Scarborough and when we found out they opened one here we were so happy. I hate coleslaw it has always disgusted me. But when I had thiers I fell in love. Mixing coleslaw with some chicken and rice in one bit taste like heaven. Yes the Jerk Chicken can be spicy but that's what I use the rice and coleslaw for to mix in every bit I take of the chicken. But heads up if you get the jerk chicken dinner make sure you get the ox tail sauce on top the rice it's bomb. So recommend this place 1000% x more.

From east end, we drive all the way to downtown just to get allwynes. So happy they opened up a store in the area. And this is just simply the best Jerk chicken and stuffed sandwich. The patties is a must try as well!

Tried the jerk chicken stuffed sandwich and oxtail with rice and peas. Overall the food was fresh and good quality but I agree with a lot of the other reviews. This is not real carribean food, its the right idea but not nearly enough spices. This is perfect for people who can't handle spicy carribean food. Also the portion was small for like 18$ only 6 peices of oxtail, 90% bone

THIS PLACE WAS NOT UP TO STANDARDS
DONT COME HERE IF JAMAICAN!
I came here for the “Popular” stuffed patty with coco bread only to be deceived the only thing good about this was coco bread which was store bought and packaged at the side of the cashier the meat was cold not even warmed i asked for it spicy and it wasn’t even mild, that patty it self didn’t even hold a candle to store bought pattie’s that are way better.
When i walked in there were no Black jamaican ppl working there only asians that could be jamaican without an accent. DONT MAKE MY MISTAKE IF YOU ORDER JAMAICAN FOOD MAKE SURE THE ORDERING FROM AUTHENTIC BLACK JAMAICAN PPL WITH AN ACCENT!

KNOCKS IT OUT THE PARK EVERY-DAMN-TIME! (Excuse my French) Allwyn's is the only restaurant I have ordered from time and time again here in Pickering that never disappoints. They put the time and effort into their food and it shows. Today after receiving my Skip The Dish order I had to call them and personally let them know just how happy I was with their food.

I love their jerk chicken sandwiches on coco bread, their jerk chicken meal and their BOMB AF Plantain! (love how its sweet, with it's crispy edges and has so much flavour)

Thanks again Allwyn's Pickering! I normally take a photo but it didn't stick around long enough to take one!

I recently visited Allwyn's Jamaican Restaurant & Bakery and was thoroughly impressed with the food. The highlight of my meal was the delicious coco bread, which was soft and fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. The patties were packed with flavor and the jerk chicken was cooked to perfection with the right balance of heat and spices. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine!

Tasty food, had a nice fragrance with the addition of some of cilantro.nice and fresh soft roti.

Service times maybe could be improved with better order flow but it's a small shop so I forgive it.

Will be visiting again.

Amazing food. Their stuffed patty’s are bomb! The curry goat is Amazing! Great location. Definitely in my top 5 takeout spots.

Wonderful food choices! And very reasonable prices. Definitely a go-to place in Pickering!

Hands down best Jerk chicken in Toronto. Allwyn's has multiple locations across the city with the new one opened recently in Pickering. Chicken and pork are always fresh. Roti and Oxtail are both killer. Their stuffed sandwiches (patty, jerk chicken, coleslaw on Coco bread) is insane! Order from here, highly recommend it!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2023, standing in my Kitchen at 36 years old, an immigrant from Trinidad (who’s mother and grandmother made fried plantains and roti all the time when I was growing up), can honestly say that I had the BEST fried plantains in my entire LIFE, from Allwyn’s Pickering. I’ve been going to the Underhill location my whole life. But Pickering took me back home in a single bite! I highly recommend anyone to try anything from there. Also the best rice and peas ever! It goes amazing with their oxtail!

I ordered the half jerk chicken and jerk wings party tray.
- Staff was very friendly and had it ready for my scheduled time.
All the guests loved the spice and even took some for leftovers.
