This Jamaican jerk chicken from Rasta Pasta in Kensington Market, Toronto, delivers bold flavours and solid value for a hearty meal. The chicken is smoky and seasoned with a complex jerk marinade, with moist, tender meat and a nicely charred exterior. The flavours are well-balanced, and the rice and beans provide a great complement to the jerk chicken. That said, a bit more rice would have been welcome.
As for value, Rasta Pasta offers a satisfying portion of richly seasoned, high-quality chicken at a fair price. As mentioned above, this dish would be even more complete with just a little extra rice. Rasta Pasta is well worth a visit.
