Compliments to the Chef Carleton and Mr. Elisha Campbell for referring Chef Carleton to cater for our Fundraising event. Thank you so much for a very, very tasty and delicious meal. I had a fundraising event and sold 81 meals. Over 90 percent of the individuals who ordered the meals gave rave reviews about the food. Here are a few of the feedback that I got :1."Service good and meal good. Thank you and all the people working to make this happen" ----2."Morning Sis.. hope you had a nice Mother’s Day.. the food purchased was absolutely fantastic.. please extend to Luke.. have a good day ❤️"---3. "Hi it was good". Most of all the food was delivered on time. Please keep up the good work and looking forward to working with you in the future and visiting your restaurant to pick up a meal or two:) One love.

They were out of rice and peas!That takes 3 stars off my jerk chicken dinner meal.Then I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes, took 30 minutes.. that takes 1 star off.Meal was ok, I've had much better.Unlikely to return.

I ordered the Jerk Chicken Dinner for take out and the food smelt amazing! As soon as I got home, I dug into the fried plantain and was happy that it was sweet and juicy. I've had some dry fried plantain in the past month from another spot and this one brought me back. The Jerk spice was definitely spicier but we'll invited. Coleslaw was not bad but the Jerk Chicken definitely hit the spot. Lots of rice and peas in the dinner! Sadly they didn't have any patties but I'll try again next time.

One of my favourite restaurants in all of Ottawa. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but if I have to pick I'll give a shout out to the oxtail, coconut curry, reggae wings, fruit punch, and coconut-pineapple cake!

I used to love this restaurant but today I ordered the coconut curry chicken. The vegetables are supposed to be sautéed the carrots, onions, broccoli and POTATOES are not cooked at all. Last time I ate it the veggies were cooked and soft. So disappointed.

Rice and veggies tasted watery 0 flavour. I tasted uncooked grains in the rice Jerk pork was hard and didn't taste like jerk more like stew pork, also some pork was so dried like it was laying there for a week and then it was put back in to sauce and recooked again. Oxtail was decent and soft. But the server was nice.

It doesn't get better than this! I've been visiting Chef Carleton for years and he got me hooked on Caribbean cuisine from day 1. An absolutely quintessential establishment with outstanding ownership and the best jerk in town. You must try!

Very nice and clean restaurant. Chef Carleton prepares many wonderful dishes. You can call and pick up your order. You can also try Chef Carletons' sauces. You can find them at Massine's Independent. View the menu online. God Bless Everyone including my Jamaican Friends Everywhere Cheers. ????❤????

EXTREMELY SALTY MEAL! LIKE FOR REAL? I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE BY CALLING THE STORE. I ORDERED DESERT TWO RUM CAKE AND THEY GAVE ME CHEESE CAKES AND COCONUT. LIKE MY PHONE NUMBER IS RIGHT THERE! WHY NOT CALL ME TO TELL ME THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS ATLEAST? I ORDERED FOR WHITE RICE, BUT GOT RICE AND PEAS! AM I A alA JOKE TO YOU ALL?
