Ocho Rios - Ottawa, Ontario

Drove around craving West Indian food. With the help of the drive apps, Ocho Rios was out 3rd search and last. First Impression looking at the store from our car made us pull in and park. Then once we received our meals, we couldn't stop eating, it was so good.

Phenomenal!!!! food, super friendly and speedy service... What more could you ask for. I had a large oxtail + curry goat, it was heavenly. Big ups Cheryl, thank you. A nice bonus: my stomach was a bit upset when I came in to order. SPOTLESS bathrooms. These days, most don’t offer public bathrooms, ... and the ones that do make you want to turn around and hold it. Literally not a single speck of dirt. It just makes you confident that the kitchen must also be well kept. Thanks for the clear effort. Read more

Ordered their large oxtail, and asked for a little piece of jerk on the side. $18. Not much oxtail, rice was good. Jerk was baked chicken. I could not taste any pimento/allspice in their jerk whatsoever. Oxtail was not slow cooked long enough. Go elsewhere. ****Update: they responded “that’s a first”… incorrect, there’s ... another one criticizing their jerk chicken as well if they scroll through the comments. I feel bad, but I know Jamaican food. Read more

I tried this restaurant out on Uber. I have to admit that this is, perhaps, some of the finest food I've had in recent months. I had the Curried Goat and Fried Chicken combo, and the Jerk Chicken. All of the meat was beautifully spiced and of a high quality. The ... dish was completed with steamed veggies, rice and peas- all of it very flavourful and in generous portion sizes. If you want to have food that is exquisitely delicious AND a delectable deal too, then Ocho Rios is the number one choice. I'm very happy I tried this. I will be excited to try more of their incredible food again in the near future. Read more

If you're craving a taste of the islands, this is it!!. Been coming here for a few years now. Cheryl and her staff are always friendly and on point with the food. I usually get the daily specials which are fairly cheap, portions are great and keeps my belly happy ... from lunch until dinner time. Always prompt and can taste the freshness and not to mention the presentation but the pictures speak for themselves. It's nice and cozy inside if you want to sit in for a quick bite. The patties are ok too but not the best I've had in town. Overall this place gets a full 5 stars from me! Read more
