Ocho Rios Caribbean Eatery - Ottawa

What an amazing, authentic and true flavour packed experience I had today!! Very kind staff I felt so at home. We got today jerk chicken, goat curry, and oxtail. The jerk chicken was perfect cooked falling off the bone with a slight smoked flavour. The goat was tender and beautifully cooked. The oxtail was my absolute favourite that gravy is made to perfection being as subtle as I can I indulged. You will not be disappointed. While I was there, another person was talking about coming from across Ottawa after others tried the food and raved and he is now doing a large catering order. This is my new favourite spot. I recommend going with a few people and trying a few different dishes. The portions are large the plantain fried perfectly can’t forget that that extra sweetness. I couldn’t stop eating. Thank you so much! I loved every last bite and you will see me each time I’m in Ottawa!Parking: Plaza parking conveniently located at the store front

Ocho Rios is a great Jamaican restaurant. However, the quality of food depends on the day you go and how busy they are. I have gotten the oxtail platter from here a couple of times, and it has been okay. However, the oxtail platter was a complete miss the last time I visited. The food was super greasy and not great.

The food is ALWAYS on point. I order frequently for pickup and it's good and comforting and the flavors are just mmmmmm so good. The service is good, Shirley is super friendly and the kid at cash always nice. And the music is always on and I'll happily wait inside just to listen to some good vibes and you might catch me moving a little because music and food is LIFE.Parking: Enough spots, it's a small strip mall so spots for businesses

We love this place!! The food is really really good and the price is very affordable.Tonight we had jerk chicken, fried chicken, and our friend tried the roti.We found out last night that they have fried chicken as special item every Saturdays where it's only $8.99. So we had to try the fried chicken. The portion is pretty big for $8.99. It comes with a big container full of rice& peas, vegetable coleslaw, plantains, and 2 big pieces of fried chicken. It was very yummy.Jerk chicken tastes really authentic and it's a bit spicy. Jerk chicken is a must try at this place.Our friend tried the roti and the portion is very big. It will probably take our friend at least 2 meals to finish the entire roti.I definitely recommend this place and would 100% order from this place again!!
