Overview

Located in the heart of Scarborough, Times Restaurant offers an inviting space for lovers of authentic Jamaican cuisine. Nestled at 3220 Kingston Rd Unit 4A, this cozy yet spacious eatery has grown steadily, now serving both dine-in and takeout customers with a warm, attentive approach that feels personal and genuine.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the jerk chicken paired with rice and peas, bringing a perfect balance of smoky spices and vibrant flavors.

Complementing these dishes is the coleslaw, often noted as one of the best around, providing a fresh, crunchy contrast that elevates the meal.

The customer service here is amazing. The owners seem like some of the most kind people in the entire service industry. The jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain and coleslaw are all solid. Probably the best coleslaw I’ve ever had actually. One thing is that the oxtail gravy is a bit sweet for me, I wish it was a little more savoury. Still, fantastic place I will be back at for sure. Highly recommend this place!

Loved the curry goat! And I’ve never liked plantains, but these were delicious the lady threw in for free! The menu changes on a daily basis and you may wait but it just means it’s fresh.

Just discovered this spot. Been craving curry goat since the Ritz (Kingston Rd) closed. Times is literally across the street from my neighborhood and decided to try it out. People were amazingly friendly and the curry goat, rice and peas and steamed vegetables were all very good ( a little spicier than I expected) but delicious. Will definitely go again..
