I have been to the Island Soul restaurant/take-out joint a couple of times. And today the sight of a coal-fired traditional barbecue outside the entrance enticed me, once again.
They had had barbecue chicken and the jerk chicken, so ordered both.

Island Soul restaurant in Ajax. Note the barbeque on the right. |
The barbecue chicken was succulent, with a sauce more on the sweet-sour range.
The best, though, was the jerk chicken. Almost crispy skin but not too blackened, and the meat was appropriately dry.
The rice-with-peas was also excellent as always.
In short, this is one place in Ajax that delivers consistency.
