Ackee Tree

Ackee Tree has a home other than its Humber College location serving their classic Jamaican jerk chicken and pork, patties, oxtail and more.

Ackee Tree’s jerk is made with jerk paste, Jamaican scallion and thyme, ginger and garlic. It stickily coats the juicy chicken and you can feel the spice in your ears. Coleslaw is nicely thick cut and crunchy.
