Next time you’re near Dufferin & Eglinton, having some culinary cravings, we have an awesome recommendation for you that is a standout in Toronto’s Little Jamaica! Nestled on Eglinton West between Dufferin and Oakwood, you’ll find the (very delicious) Sheryl’s Authentic Caribbean Cuisine, which has become not only a community favourite, but somewhat of a landmark in this midtown neighbourhood!

Sheryl’s is family-owned and operated, and they serve some of the highest-quality, mouth-watering Caribbean dishes. The restaurant opened its doors in Toronto in 2007, and was formerly known as Judy’s Island Grill (Sheryl’s sister). And they’ve recently expanded to Queen Street West as well!
This gem usually has a line-up outside the door when we’ve visited – but it’s worth the wait! The staff are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about all their fab dishes, and while it’s best known for take-out, there are a few tables inside to enjoy your food. (Sheryl even does catering!)
Looking for some flavourful suggestions? We’ve got you covered. Island Fried Chicken is a must (yum!!), and no Caribbean specialty would be complete without Oxtails. (And I love jerk chicken!)
The online reviews say it best: Sheryl’s is a ‘must‘!
“I live in the neighbourhood, and Sheryl’s is a recent discovery for us. What a gem! They have quickly become our go-to Caribbean spot. The jerk chicken is phenomenal, with a little gravy on it!! Escovitch is great, goat curry is great. We have to do stew chicken next. One of the other super nice things is how nice everyone there is. I feel welcomed and am happy to give them my business, now, and for a long time to come. I highly recommend!” – Yelp Review
“Sheryl’s Authentic Caribbean Cuisine is by far the best Caribbean restaurant on Eglinton! I was there last evening and purchased a large fry chicken meal, as well as a curry goat and oxtail combo. The gentleman behind the counter put a lot of care into preparing our food. I especially appreciated that the fried chicken was kept hot in an oven so it was hot and crispy! In addition, the restaurant is very clean and the cutlery is individually packaged which is nice. We will definitely return again!” – Google Review
“Meet Sheryl, chef and owner. Sheryl and her whole team are so welcoming. You walk into her spot, and there is the most delicious hot table filled with scratch-made Jamaican food. There are also the most delicious homemade juices. You can get great jerk but also the best juiciest shrimp. Her sweet potato pudding is a must. Check out the bbq chicken as something different and greens are always the best.” – Google Review
Excite your taste buds with a trip to Little Jamaica and find out why this is a community – and city – favourite! Earning 4.3 stars on Google, Sheryl’s will leave you saying “…and what are tomorrow’s specials?”
