First time here and loved the patties as well as the rotis (got the jerk chicken and curry chicken roti). Taste was amazing, spices were just right, quality and quantity were great, and service was also spot on. Will definitely be back for more next time ! More...

1st weekend in a long time, I didn't have to rush out for kids and their sports. So I took advantage of the time and drove to Richmond Hill. On Friday & Saturdays only until sold out Mr.Aneal makes Bake & Shark like no other. I had it when I went to Maracas in Trinidad and let me tell you. It's right up there with taste. WoW! I've been to a few places that sell it in Scarborough and Brampton but let me tell you... it is worth the drive to Aneal's in Richmond Hill. If you dun know... now you know!!You are welcome!!!Trust!!

Bake and Shark is not only limited to Maracas Bay anymore... Aneals Taste of the Islands has the best bake and shark outside of Trinidad. The portion size is HUGE measuring more than 20 cms (8"+). I can only eat half a portion at a time. Each order is made fresh, approximately 10-15 minutes wait time. Taste, the bake is nice and fluffy, large chunks of shark meat, coleslaw toppings, a touch of hotsauce and I add a splash of my homemade tamarind chutny to make a wonderful combination of flavours that instantly takes you back to the Caribbean. FYI bake and shark only available on Friday & Saturday @ Aneal's, located on Yonge St. In RichmondHill.#anealstasteoftheislands #RichmondHill #caribbeanfood #bakeandsharkI met an interesting foodie couple Rica & Kevin @ Aneal's.

I’ve been trying rum cakes from different places for the last couple years and Aneal’s finally hit the right notes. The cake itself is moist, flavourful and decadent. Omg !definitely a must have for the holidays. I bought three packs and already devoured one. More...

My wife and I are regulars at Aneal's because of the outstanding food, excellent service and very friendly atmosphere. I've review the restaurant in the past but I wanted to write about the incredible fruit cake Aneal makes and sells at Christmas time. If you've been to the Caribbean you've most likely tried the rum soaked cakes sold in many shops. Forget about those cakes - Aneal's is the real deal. My wife was reluctant to buy a cake last year because she never liked the taste and texture of Christmas fruit cakes. This year she couldn't wait to order a cake. The fruit is soaked in rum for a long period of time. However, the flavour of the rum does not overpower the cake - it's there, you can taste it, but it is well balanced with the spices, producing a moist, light cake. Last year we were left wanting more. We were going to put some out for guests but decided to keep it all for ourselves.Order now to make sure you don't miss out on this fantastic fruit cake. More...

Had small jerk chicken and curry chicken. Both came with peas and rice and coleslaw. We dined in. Service is lovely. The food tasted so good and there was so much of it. I would call them large portions, not small. I couldn't finish my curry chicken so my son helped out there. The 2 meals with a drink were about $25. Nice treat. More...

The jerk chicken and curry chicken are so tasty. They came with coleslaw and peas & rice. The small sizes surprised us because they are more like large sizes. We were glad we didn't order the large because we couldn't even finish the small. The service is just lovely and friendly. To those raising an eyebrow at the plastic plates and cutlery, we didn't mind it at all. With the generous portions and well-cooked food at reasonable prices, there is nothing to complain about. A delicious, hot meal hit the spot on a cold day. Wonderful place! More...

I can't tell you how obsessed I am with this restaurant! They make the best jerk chicken I've ever tried - always fresh, delicious and juicy and you can choose the level of spice you want. I always get regular and it's perfect! The patties are bomb here too!The service is always super friendly as well. The owner was great and asked about my kids.I always get Aneal's for lunch whenever I'm working in Richmond Hill but it's definitely worth going out of the way for! I recommend this restaurant looking for authentic and delicious Caribbean food - you will not be disappointed! More...

Jerk chicken!!!!! A must have at Aneal's. Very flavourful and the chicken was cooked to perfection. If you cannot handle spice, then don't get extra spice, but if you can, the homemade hot sauce is great. Lastly, the owner is very friendly. Goes out of his way to get to know his customers and make them feel at home. More...

Just visited tonight, owner(?) and the chef were both great and welcoming. Food was great as well. We had a stew Oxtail, jerk chicken and fish. A little bit spicy for the kids but they handled it well. He also offered a treat for the kids.It's not only the food that sells the place, but the service and respect as well. Would definitely visit again in the near future. More...

Aneal’s is to die for I’m pretty sure anything you order on the menu is a hit! My friend ordered the jerk chicken roti and I ordered the curry chicken roti and both were succulent and seasoned and spiced to perfection. The best roti I ever had in my life. So happy I found this gem in my area. This will for sure become a regular spot for me! He also has daily specials consisting of things not on the menu and is willing to customize orders (ie chicken roti with rice inside). This place is a West Indian goldmine. More...

Dropped in just a bit ago to grab some dinner. First time there ... The place was very clean and had some great tunes playing. Greeted by a very friendly Aneal who talked me through some of his menu items. I ended up getting the large Jerk Chicken to go. A wee bit pricy, but oh my goodness it was so good. As soon as I got in the car, my whole interior smelled like jerk spice. I basically drooled for my entire 20 min commute home ... Definitely one of the tastiest Jerk Chicken dishes Ive had. The heat was PERFECT. Not bland and not deathly hot. Great flavor!! The rice was delish and the chicken was so moist and basically falling off the bone. My only criticism is the coleslaw needs some flavor, but it was crunchy and fresh. Perfect to cool your palate down.  Also a very good portion!! I'm totally stuffed and slipping into a food coma as I write this...Aneal definitely has me as a customer now. More...

**must park vehicle across the street**Finally had a chance to try this cozy place. I had a day off and stopped by on a Thursday. Was warmly greeted by Aneal himself. I had read so many good reviews and seen so many mouthwatering pics I didn't know what to order so Aneal recommended the oxtail to me right away. I got regular spice level as opposed to spicy or ghost pepper heat lol. Didn't have to wait too long for food (~10 min). The oxtail was fall off the bone tender, the slaw was creamy just the way I like it and the rice was some of the best rice I've had (not too mushy). I like a nice hearty portion size and Aneal is generous. He really cares about the customer. I think I'll ask for some extra sauce/gravy on my rice next time hehe.There's so many items I still need to try on the menu. I will be back on a Friday or Saturday for the shark n' bake for sure. I'll also be back for a curry roti of some sort (they look massive which is a plus) and I also want to try his wife's Mac n' cheese casserole which is available every other weekend according to Aneal. Come try this place out! Aneal is very friendly and the food is delicious. More...

My boyfriend and I have never been disappointed when we come to Aneal's for a meal. We enjoy our hour drive for a meal here because we know what is waiting. Aneal always greets us we as we are family. The atmosphere is cozy, warm and inviting and the food is always cooked perfectly. This time when when we came I decided to try something different and the Shark N' Bake always caught my eye when I saw it in pictures posted. Wow!!! Why did I wait so long to try it? I definitely found my new favourite dish. The flavours came out in every bite. Aneal Looking are looking forward to coming back in a couple weeks. The SharkNBake was absolutely outstanding! I will still take my Roti to go! More...

First time ordering from here! Can’t believe I didn’t sooner. Food is full of flavour and the portions are great. I don’t know why anyone would say the portions are small. As for the price, again if you want good quality, clean and health produce it costs money and I think the price of the food here is very reasonable. We got the jerk chicken dinner with rice and coleslaw. VERY YUMMY! We also got the chicken curry roti and that was full of flavour and big portion. Lots of meat inside! Overall will order again and highly recommend. More...

Fantastic spot. My first time trying the roti here was with some coworkers during lunch who just happened to come across Aneal's on Google. I got the spicy chicken curry roti and my colleagues got the jerk roti. We all enjoyed it so much that is has become one of our favourite take out spots. Also, the Scorpion hot sauce is bomb!
