Orlando's Restaurant & Grill

Stopped by today as i was at that “mall”. The lady who took our order was great in suggestions and attitude . Got it to go and oh my goodness. Loved it. All of it. Run don’t walk there.

I ordered oxtail and curry goat. It was so delicious 😋 only thi g the location was a little challenging to get to, but once you go there once once you'll know how to get in. Just park outside with lights blinking at the sew & sitch store go in main doors and take escalators to the food court. It's much easier than going to parking garage then finding correct elevator.. Food is amazing. Some special items they make to order just call in.

Best items on the menu are the Curry Goat and Oxtail. No other Jamaican restaurant in GTA comes close to the taste when it comes to those two dishes. Hoping to come back here some time. Highly recommend.

Orlando’ restaurant is a great place if you are looking for authentic, top quality Jamaican cuisine. So far i have been there twice, first time had the oxtail and this time the curry goat. Both times were excellent!!! Today had the added bonus of meeting both Mr. and Mrs Orlando and let me say they are a delight, not only because the make great food but we had a very enjoyable conversation. This is a definite must try!!! You wont be disappointed !!!

I found this place on google because I was in the mood for some Jamaican food. There located in a business centre at Weston & 7 so I called ahead to get proper directions to find the restaurant. I was able to find it and order what I wanted the way I preferred to have a balanced meal with protein, carbs and veggies. I enjoyed my meal and decided to return and invite a co-worker with me. On my second visit I decided to see if this was fluke experience and sadly it was. I had gone to order stew chicken with rice and steamed veggies. When I asked for this as a paying customer, I was told by the owner that “I don’t prepare stew chicken that way nor does steamed veggies go with stew chicken”. I was then told that the stew chicken already had veggies that are made with the chicken. He offered me a salad instead which is not what I wanted. The owner continued to explain that he would have to prepare the steam veggies on the spot for me. Not once did he offer to make it fresh or not once did I say I was in a hurry to order and leave. This type of lack of awareness and laziness is why most Caribbean restaurants fail; especially when serving their own community. Unfortunately I wasn’t surprised by this mentality from the customer service at a Jamaican restaurant. Knowing what I ordered prior; which was prepared how I wanted it. I decided not to try something new and get the same thing as last time since the owners opinion on how meals should be prepared trumps my request as a paying customer. When I asked for the fried chicken after figuring out how he wants to prepare meals; he told me that at 3:15pm on a Tuesday afternoon that he had no more fried chicken…. I had already parked, walked and committed to eating here and unfortunately the pizza spot next to them wasn’t open. I ordered the stew chicken which was good but that would be my last time ordering food at Orlando’s. Thankfully my co-worker never came because this would’ve been an embarrassing experience to share with someone who appreciates Jamaican food and culture. Next time I’ll take the extra 5 minutes to go south on Weston road where restaurants and business serve the West Indian community pridefully. DO BETTER WE ARE TIRED OF THE NEGATIVE NARRATIVE ABOUT OUR CULTURES CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!

Orlando's Restaurant and Grill prepares the best authentic Jamaican dishes you can find in the GTA. I went to the restaurant recently and had a dine-in order of fish soup, it was sumptuous. The soup was delicious and the atmosphere was quiet and inviting. I give the service five stars because the chef brought my soup to the table and checked on me to ensure that everything was okay. I found this to be very classy and caring. I rarely find this care in our Caribbean restaurant community. I then ordered steamed fish and an oxtail meal with rice and peas as a take out. My husband and son are still raving about their meals. They described it as the real thing (authentic Caribbean dishes) and said they felt like they were in the Caribbean. I will always order my Friday night meals at this restaurant. Thank you Orlando's Restaurant & Grill.

This place has the best oxtail I've ever tried from a Jamaican restaurant. The pieces are a good size, there isn't a disproportionate amount of fat, the gravy is rich, and they make it with lima beans! I almost never order oxtail from Jamaican restaurants because they just don't compare to the oxtail I grew up eating. I was very impressed and I hope the recipe stays the same. I found the jerk chicken to be dry, but the rice, pasta and salad were all delicious and well seasoned.

Pretty good! Seems to be fairly homestyle, well spiced but not too salty luckily. Nice to have beans from take out too. I didn’t know there was a mini mall here and it was hard to find. It is in the back of the food court on the second floor of the tower opposite the parking garage. I was told there’s free 3 hour parking. Medium jerk chicken is a nice lunch size.
