Aunt Elsie Caribbean Kitchen — Restaurant in Toronto

When drive here, you will feel as if you were transformed and not in Toronto anymore. Yes, the area is dodgy. The area feels third world. The parking area is dirty and it feels poor.

I heard about Aunt Elsie on the CBC and decided to try it out. As you walk inside, it is a small grocery store that sells a bunch of Caribbean goods. You would never know that they sell one of the best jerk chicken in Toronto.
