Great jerk and bbq! I have had their jerk chicken and their escovitch king fish. Good heat on both the chicken and the king fish paired with solid heart-warming rice and peas. I really liked the scotch bonnet sauce they give with the kingfish! Their bbq and patties look good, can’t wait to go back and try them. Friendly staff, quick service, but not a lot of seating. This place is great for authentic Jamaican takeaway.

Saw the store as I was driving by and decided to check it out. I like to support Black businesses and especially eateries offering West Indian food. While we were there, several cutomers came in to place orders which I always take as a good sign. I really wanted to be able to write a positive review. I ordered a white meat curry roti, two jerk chicken meals and a jerk chicken roti along with four festivals. It took a bit of time for my order to be put together but I took that as a sign that things were being made fresh. The curry roti was a disappointment. It was over-salted, contained 'rubbery bits' and bone fragments. I also strongly suspect there were dark meat pieces in it as well. The meat had the consistency of something that was microwaved/reheated, and it was the middle of the afternoon. There were no potatoes in my roti at all. The sauce was okay - definitely had a subtle smokey taste that I liked, but like I said, the salt was over-powering. I found the dough tough - full disclosure I prefer dhalpuri but have had plain roti before. It was more remniscent of a thicker burrito wrap than roti. And the coleslaw 'serving' was honestly a little over two tablespoons. My husband had the jerk chicken. He said he ate it because he was hungry, but wouldn't go back. He said the meat did not taste fresh, and the skin on his jerk chicken was rubbery - not what one would expect from a place that has bbq in the title. My daughter had the jerk roti. Once again, she is a dhalpuri girl, so she was a bit biased about the dough from the outset. Unfortunately she was not impressed either. She, like her father, was turned off by the rubbery skin and cartilage she found in her roti, along with the meat that she said did not taste or feel good. She found the dough hard/tough. She also complained about the coleslaw. We all liked the doubles (although at $2.50 each they're a bit pricey). My son is too busy playing on his Xbox, but as the most audibly discerning one in the family when it comes to food I suspect he will come to the same conclusions. Also, the prices listed on the display board are incorrect. There is a small sign by the cash register saying that some items are actually $2 more. Maybe one day we will try Jerk & BBQ Haven again to see if things have changed. Until then, it's back to Leela's, Lena's and Charlie's.

So I ordered the curry goat. When picking up the order I noticed it was light on the curry goat the main ingredient. Although the little portion I did get of curry goat was delicious was not enough to justify paying 21 n change for the meal which was mainly rice and curry with coleslaw. Unacceptable. I understand that prices will have gone up by cutting corners by short changing portions is just not cool. Won’t be trying this place again, spare yourself the waste of money on rice and curry.

I would rate it as very good even if it is not the best jerk chicken BBQ store in Mississauga. The food is yummy and with a decent portion for the price. I ordered a beef soup which is better than any other soups you can get from TH in term of taste and value. The staff is nice and courteous. There is always a line up because it is only a small store. You should also try it.

I always go by how they do their jerk. Ordering half a jerk chicken (if offered) at every new Jamaican eatery I try. No rice, no sides. & they didn’t disappoint at all. It’s not a saucy jerk they use on their chicken, but a paste-like marinade. They served it to me with a side of oxtail gravy (asked for it on side), came with some scotch bonnet pepper sauce & oh my. Everything was on point. That pepper sauce had no vinegar just an authentic hot 🌶 🥵 as a Jamaican summer type sauce. Oxtail gravy was nice, had semi-caramelized onions (what it tasted like at least) & lotsa flavour ....the chicken was delicious. Left that place a happy man. You folks got it right, keep it Rollin’ #blessup
