I can say that this is hands down the best Jamaican food I’ve had in Ottawa. The oxtail and jerk chicken is both so tender and flavourful. The fried dumplings are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. My favourite thing here is the fried chicken. It’s such a simple dish but they somehow execute it perfectly. Perfectly seasoned with a juicy and tender interior under the crispy skin.Not to mention the potions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. I always order on Uber eats and it comes scolding hot after a 30 minute travel. Definitely worth trying!
What an incredible place to eat. the food was so amazing, fresh and delicious. owner was so pleasant to speak with. I will be ordering again and again.. GO support this restaurant!!ps. I ordered the oxtail and fried chicken mix, dumpling, jerk chicken, curry chicken roti and some patty.
The food was delicious and the portions were great. I’m a fan of their curry goat and oxtail. They’re a must try!
Food was really good, however at lunch it’s not super convenient. Took 20 min to get a walk-in order.
Had jerk chicken with rice and peas and a serving of oxtail with rice and peas. Really disappointed by the chicken flavor. It was not fall off the bone flavorful. Tasted as if it was quickly cooled and rubbed with jerk chicken flavor. It was not spicy or flavorful. The beef patty was good and the rice was fantastic.

Love the food I definitely recommend anyone looking for that great jamaican food
Very friendly, clean place delicious coleslaw and awsome Jerk chicken. Highly recommend definitely jerk chicken
I decided to try Ocho Rios because it’s the closet Caribbean restaurant to my neighbourhood. My first impression was that the service was good, and the inside of the restaurant is clean. I ordered 1 large Jerk chicken. 1 large oxtail. And a beef patty. The oxtail was pretty good. And the patty was good, however, unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the jerk chicken. It was beyond dry to the point that I couldn’t finish it. If you keep scrolling, there are a few other reviews where people also felt like the jerk chicken was dry. I would recommend trying the jerk chicken from “Fishy’s Tropical” on Montreal Rd. It’s tender, flavourful, with a nice kick to it. I guarantee you won’t regret it.
Best Ackee and saltfish I've had in Ottawa. I may be a bit addicted to their barbecue chicken lol. As a Caribbean person I was glad to be able to get a little taste of home.
