Why 9 Mile Is One of the Best Jamaican Restaurants in Toronto

Toronto has no shortage of Caribbean spots. So what makes 9 Mile different? The food, the numbers, and the experience.

The Numbers

1,500+ reviews across Google and Uber Eats. 50.6K Instagram followers. Reels hitting 91K likes. This isn't marketing — it's word of mouth at scale. People keep coming back because the food delivers every time.

Jamaican Fusion, Not Just Jamaican

The classics are all here — jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, ackee & saltfish. But 9 Mile goes further. The Heavy Plate combos (loaded protein boxes with the full sides spread) don't exist anywhere else in the city. Neither do the oxtail quesadillas, the loaded mac & cheese, or the 8-variety stuffed patties served with Sasha's house sauce.

The Portions

Nobody leaves hungry. Heavy plates come loaded — protein, rice & peas, mac & cheese, plantain, coleslaw, cucumber. Reviewers call it out constantly: the value is unmatched for what you get.

Who's Behind It

9 Mile was built by Chris and Sasha — husband and wife, both from Jamaica. The name comes from Nine Mile, St. Ann — Bob Marley's birthplace. The recipes are family. Read their story →
