Beryl's Pepper Pot - Pickering

Beryl's pepper pot serves the BEST oxtail with no comparison. Yes, it may look like it's a little pricey but oxtail is a pricey dish to make. When you order oxtail from this restaurant, rest assured that you will get a piece of meat with every bite you eat. The portions are generous and it's delicious. The food is so flavourful that it has raised the bar to an unreachable high that nowhere else can come close! I love this place! Even my parents eat there every week. The dine in option is wonderful and nice for a date night.

I have been going to the Beryl's Ajax location for years and I have never been disappointed by their food. I came to the new Pickering location for a friend's dinner party. Firstly, this location is split between a take out section and restaurant which surprised me. The restaurant side is very small. It can fit about 30 people, max. Secondly, the menu options are pretty much identical to the take out, but much more costly. While the food was tasty, (Ajax's rice and peas is much better though), I felt completely robbed. I paid $16 for curry goat, rice and peas with coleslaw. I got much less rice and no more goat than I would with a large take out meal. It makes it worse that you can literally walk in and see the take out price for the same food you get in dine it. It would have been better for them to dedicate the entire location to dining in and charge the restaurant price. Or, better yet, add more value for our money and offer more to the meal if they're going to charge so much. I will continue to visit Beryl's, but I'll never dine in again. My advice, save your money and just get take out. You're not missing anything.

I didn't enjoy the goat roti that they have on the menu, it was tasteless. Its a shame, because the Ajax location is sooo much better.

My wife had the shrimp roti and it was fantastic. I had the jerk pork with rice and beans. It was great and spicy. Nice clean place and a comfortable atmosphere, a most try.

If you like Jamaican food Beryls is the place to go. The roti was huge and very tasty. Kid friendly. Very clean and good service. Eat in or take out.Give it a try you wont be sorry
