Ordered: Guava Jerk chicken with plantain (mild) Oxtail Sorrel drink Chicken potato pattie (pastry) Haven't had Jamaican for a long time despite it being a childhood staple. This place was great. I don't remember sorrel, but it was wonderfully spicy like a chai tea -- each infrequent sip felt novel. Everything was really excellent. The jerk was an awesome low level spicy that was full of flavour instead of heat. The plantain was very dry like a bread instead of moist like I'm used to. Definitely looking forward to ordering again! ---- Ordered again and got the goat curry (mild). It was delicious and not too spicy, but not as amazing as the jerk or oxtail.

This is what I paied almost 20 bucks for. Maybe the most expensive chicken leg I have had in last 20 years. More expensive than fine dining for sure. Taste was okay. Chicken leg was precooked and soggy. I prefer fresh cooked food. And for 20bucks I thought they at least would regrill the chicken. Nope, directly from the bin into the "plate". Despite the short comings, health standard seems to be okay.

Yummmmmmmy! Oh goodness, I’ve been looking for Doubles for some time now and I was not disappointed. These came on a yellow fry bread topped with chickpeas, like tacos. The only thing I’d change would be to mash the chickpeas a bit. They tended to roll off the dough. I like them they stay together and be less rollie polie. This is just an option and didn’t effect how lovely they tasted in my mouth. 🤤

Been here two times now. Both times needed salt. The spice level is also pretty low and so I'd guess the hottest is closer to a medium level elsewhere. So overall, good but not great. Come here if you need to mix it up but don't go out of your way. I didn't give them a review the first time because they messed up my order. I asked for plantains, i got chickpeas in my roti. Second time, I asked for medium spicy, i got mild. So here's the updated review. Still needs salt.

We had been wanting to check this place out for a while, being fans of Caribbean food and all. The chicken roti was pretty good. Would love to see what they could do with a beef or boneless goat roti. Our boy gobbled down his Mac and cheese as well as some beans and rice. He also enjoyed the guava BBQ jerk chicken. The doubles disappeared so fast I didn’t even know we had ordered any. The salt fish fried baked sandwich was a hit. I’m biased towards roti and that was my favourite overall. Looking forward to the sorrel now. If you like this style of food, it’s worth trying out. Would recommend this place.

Friday afternoon, crazy amount of work. I look up at the clock and it is 3 pm ( hell no!). With the kitchen cold as the weather outside, it was time to bring out the trusted uber app. A couple of clicks and i was on my way to Jamaican flavor town. Ordered the doubles and a chicken roti to go. Man, the doubles dish was da bomb! Never ate anything like that before - delish! The Chicken roti not so exciting. It looked like it was made in the kitchens' of Waldorf Astoria. Very prim and proper, not messy and unapologetic like a roti should be. Would definitely order the doubles again.

These doubles were stunning. So flavorful and the service was amazing. Super friendly. Will definitely go again for doubles and for the guava jerk chicken.

Delicious jerk on rice and peas and coleslaw! Although expensive (16$), food was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend eating this!

I finally got a chance to try Barra Caribbean Cuisine at the International Village. The price are reasonable and service was good. Their Guava Jerk Chicken is insanely delicious. The portions are well prepared in a very generous way. Recommended.

Guava jerk chicken w/ macaroni pie & curried potato 😑 (ordered curried chickpea, but gave me curried potato, not my thing; macaroni pie is the typical Mac cheese; really like the chicken,tender, well marinated, the sauce is also amazing
