Love the oxtail and rice; very flavourful and the gravy is delicious! The jerk chicken is good too but if you prefer a dish with more sauce, I wouldn’t recommend it. $ 6 for a small and $ 11 – 12 for a large. As a recently converted pescatarian, I am so happy they carry veggie patties!

Great beef petty and oxtail! When I live in that neighbourhood, I used to buy half dozen for my breakfast. The only thing that I didn’t like their petty is a bit dry and hard.

A Scarborough gem. I have such fond childhood memories from this place. Their patties are still as amazing as they used to be! And they are also really cheap :)! If you’re craving for Jamaican food I would definitely recommend this place. I haven’t tried many other Jamaican food places so I have little to compare to. But I have tried many Jamaican patties and this is definitely one of the best! The coco bread is also really good. Really soft. The jerk pork sandwich was really good! The meat was marinaded very nicely. At first I thought pork the pork may be too dry but on first bite you soon realize it does not taste like what it looks! It was juicy and tender :) I will be back to try more things! I only ever got their patties. Oh and they also have a selection of hot sauces on the side that you can add.

I loved the filing of the [spicy] Jamaican Patties but they didn’t flake ]: I’ll be back to try other things on the menu though! I was so impressed by the customers that this place attracted even though was a Tuesday afternoon.

A hole-in-the-wall place with hands down the best jerk chicken in town! Started buying from here 20 years ago(when a combo of patty+coco bread+pop was only $ 2.50)! Take out only. Or if you want, you can sit on the one and only very rustic bench there. Don’t mind their lack of décor/overdue reno, you are there for their food, good delicious food.

The service here is funny like a sad clown, the cashier ignored me for 2 – 3 minutes just gossiping to another lady. While I stood there like a neglected tree, I tried flailing my arms like a pelican with no reaction from her. Decided to leave but someone from the back came out and took my order just in time. Still angry I drowned my frustrations in their delicious jerk pork w/coco bread. Tasty Food over Poor service wins this time ! I will be back.

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect oxtail rice and peas. Medium for $ 11 and large for $ 12 so naturally I went with the large. The meat was tender but not really fall off the bone quality. There was a lot of fat on the oxtail and some parts of the meat was tough and chewy. The sauce was not spicy at all which is not a must but the sauce was still lacking in flavor to me. I would much rather have the oxtail at P Jays Take Out(3⁄5 stars). The jerk chicken sandwich for $ 3.25 was more to my liking. The pieces of chicken seemed dry at first glance but it was actually tender and juicy with a nice kick of spiciness. Just wish there was coleslaw in the jerk chicken like at Allwyn’s Bakery. Still very good though(4⁄5 stars). Overall 3.5 stars

It’s a simple store with the regular choices. Dont get me wrong, it two stars cause the food is not innovative or creative, but it still tastes good. I had their jerk pork sandwich. It is really done well, but it is missing something to provide that extra level of food experience. There beef and goat patties are really good, I would say if not for the pork, come for the patties. This place is still worth a try… Even if it is two stars in my opinion.

I have been coming to Fahmee for years and the food is always great. The plaza is a little ghetto and if you don’t know that area that well it could take you a while to find it. I always order the the Jerk chicken and coco bread sandwich. The portion is generous and it’s cheap! I add some hot sauce because I like it on the spicy side and I’m telling you it’s hot! Sometimes the service is a hit or miss. Sometimes they are so nice and ready to help other times they look at you like hurry the hell up and order so you can get out of my store… It is what it is and no matter their service I will continue to go back!

I showed up right as they were closing and was very happy that they still took my order. I tried the jerk pork sandwich which was $ 3. It is really good, but also really fatty. The customer before me ordered jerk pork on rice and peas which costs $ 9. The servings were HUGE. it’s a regular sized takeout box filled the the brim. I’m a big guy and even I would not be able to finish that on my own. I’ll try the jerk chicken here next. so far so good.

I’ve been coming here for 25 yrs. the patties are great, coco bread is fantastic and the jerk pork rocks! The service isn’t the best but that’s not what I come for. It’s all about the food! It’s a busy place so you know that’s a sign the food is good. Check out if you’ve never been and are in the Brimley and Finch area

Classic place if you are from Scarborough. Used to come here when I was a kid. The food tastes much better than how the store looks — they need a face lift! Customer service isn’t always the best. Still have very cheap prices — I think its $ 3 for a jerk chicken on coco bread. They also offer classic Jamaican dishes such as ox tail, jerk pork etc.

Originally Allah’s pastry shop, I’ve been going to this place for almost 30 years when my family moved in to the neighbourhood. Best beef patties in the city, they kept the original recipe when Allan’s branched out on their own. Jerk pork and coco bread is another favorite. Usually come here after visiting Sam for a haircut in the plaza. Make the trip, you won’t regret it!

A definite hidden gem with this place. Located tucked away in a residential strip plaza, most of the time I purposely drive here to get my fix of fresh cocobread and spicy pattie. Nothing gets more authentic than this place. I love how they have have regular and mini size frozen patties for you to get as well, to get your dosage of patties right at home. I just toast mine in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 – 15 minutes and good as fresh. I’ve tried their oxtail rice and beans dinner once and it’s alright. The rice was a tad dry for my liking.

Had fond memories visiting here but quality of customer service has gone horribly downhill. Waited patiently in line for 5 minutes while staff tended other customers then was immediately ignored once another customer entered through the door. They don’t want to serve patient customers so they lost one plus many others via word of mouth. I’ll be a happy customer of Allwyn’s bakery instead.

A dirty run down store in a very bad neighborhood. I would love to tell you what I thought about the food but the customer service was so bad I ended up walking out. Avoid this place plain and simple, if you want jerk chicken on coco bread go to Alwyns.

For me it was worth the drive to Montezuma Trail! There are lineups at the door and cars lined up waiting to park then you know you have found the spot. This authentic Caribbean takeout delivers the goods in a down home no frills fashion. It has the same feel that southern USBBQ places have, worn comfortable, and unpretentious. You simply cant beat the Jerk Pork on Coco Bread for($ 3)!!! Tasty, easy to eat, available wet or dry, it has the right amount of spice and flavour to satisfy. Its hard not to eat a second. And I did. For super jerk lovers you may find the spices a bit tame but for lunch it is perfect. The beef patty 100% hit the right amount of heat and tatse with a covering that did not gum up your teeth like the cheap supermarket patties. The take out Coco Bread was really good and a freezer full of meat patties was enough to temp me to take some home. An added bonus is the rest of the mall which seems like a beehive of activity with people coming and going. I have not seen a strip mall this busy in a long time. Sadly, I live on the other side of the city so visits will be rare. Places like this make enduring all the crappy chain places worth it.

Fahmee Bakery & Jamaican Foods looks and feels like another sketchy place in a sketchy Scarborough Strip Mall. The blinds in front of the store kind of always closed and have no business hour posted. Jerk Pork on Coco Bread($ 3) — Jerk Pork is tender with a good mixture of fat and lean — Jerk rub is spicy and have a good pick to it — Coco Bread is thin and soft and with a hint of sweetness went well with the pork The nice lady at the counter was trying to stuff my bread with as much pork as possible and make sure I have pieces of both lean and fat in my order. Jerk Dinner is around $ 9 and with half dinner for $ 5. There are also an area where you can pick up some Island bread, pastries and sundries.
