    Full Bar, plenty of T.V.s & nice Ambiance

    NEW LOCATION across street from.old spot. This is more upscale spot. I dug in before taking pic, but OXTAIL plate Portion size is A-1 & gravy was on point. My sun had the Veggie Rasta Pasta & is was good. Will be Back. The ambiance trendy but no lame grass wall. BAMBOO Restaurant Bar & Loung

    Chicken roti
    Lana P.

    I ordered chicken roti and noticed the sour smell as soon as it came out of the bag and then cut into the chicken to see red. I had to throw the whole order away. I don't know if it just happened to be a bad day but this was not a good first impression, I was very disappointed.

    Brown Stewed Chicken w/Rasta Pasta (so good)
    Richard R.

    RASTA PASTA!!!! That is all you need to know... well, that combined with brown stewed chicken as a lunch special for $6.50. I was so one-track minded that I didn't really bother to look closely at the menu when I walked in for the first time on June 12th, 2018. I'd bookmarked this place a few months back after reading another yelpers review that described the oxtails as being the best they'd had outside of their own Caribbean heritage. So I had oxtails on the brain and could not be deterred by menu choices. However, after hearing a customer in line order the RASTA PASTA, I was intrigued by the cleverness of the name. So I asked her if she would recommend it and her response was so enthusiastic, I knew I had to try it! So glad I did because it was friggin' delicious! Best described as a penne pasta w/yellow alfredo sauce seasoned with Caribbean flavors and just a hint of spicy heat. I also order the OXTAILS as I had planned, and although they were good, they took a back seat to the pasta. My only complaint with the oxtails was the price and lack of meatiness. But no complaints on flavor. The oxtails were very good and slightly sweet, which was a delightful surprise. The CABBAGE and PLANTAINS included with each meal were better than average when compared to other Caribbean restaurants in the Atlanta area. I also hope to try the curry chicken patty on my next visit. I'd never heard of a curry chicken patty so I was totally intrigued, but it was going to take 30 minutes for a fresh batch to be made and I didn't have the time to wait. Rasta Pasta - 5 stars Brown Stewed Chicken - 4.5 stars Oxtails n' gravy - 4 stars Cabbage & plantains - 4 stars Rice n' peas - 3 stars (rice a little too firm) SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE The interior is rather small and not much seating, but the service is large! Staff is friendly and eager to please! Located in the right corner unit of a gas station mall doesn't allow for much Caribbean ambiance, but friendly service more than makes up for that. FINAL THOUGHTS If your the type of reader that skipped everything I said above, just remember two words: Rasta Pasta! Also, be sure to take advantage of the lunch special! 2018/34

    Jerk Pork

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I came here and ordered a jerk pork dinner. The jerk pork is not out at the front like all other dishes they serve... the lady at the front plated my rice, steamed veg & plantain & put it down & told someone at the back a jerk pork order. Went to the back & put reheated jerk pork in the box. See picture where all the pieces were clumped together as if it was frozen & reheated. I have come here many times before & had great jerk pork & this time was just terrible. It wasn't fresh. It was cooked long before.. put down & reheated. Instead of offering an apology - the manger/owner/whoever is more senior than the person who answers the phone.. she asked me to bring the pork back today (it's 5:44pm) or tomorrow.... Because "I came there hours ago and ordered" I left the restaurant at 5:08pm Learn to deal with your customers better and admit fault and provide solution - even if that solution is a simple apology. Not to lie & condescend people.

    Curry chicken, rice and beans

    Awesomeness - hands-down the best Jamaican and Caribbean restaurant I've been to and in the area! Chef and attendants are attentive, responsive and friendly! Food is delicious, properly seasoned with authentic spices and cooked deliberately to ensure the flavors are in each bite. The best!!!

    Excellent food and great value. We enjoy both the curry and jerk chicken. It's enough food for two meals.

    Ovations Caribbean Grill has got a solid line up of menu items…read more We had the: - Jerk Chicken (with rice and peas [stew chicken cravy], cabage, and plantains) - Curry Chicken - Jerk Pork - Jerk Ribs - Oxtail Mac n cheese - Veggie Patty From top to bottom: The Jerk Chicken is tender. Make sure you get extra Jerk Sauce though! The seasoning is decent and there's a low level of spice to it. I recommend mixing it in with a bit of rice for a bite (maybe a bit of juice from the jerk ribs as well). The rice and peas are fine, but the stew chicken gravy is the star of the show. I'd get extra stew gravy on top next time I come. The cabbage is nothing to write home about, but its good fiber and doesn't clash with the other flavors of the plate. The plantain was fine as well, nice and sweet and best eaten when you first get your plate. The curry chicken is tasty! (Tender aswell) It almost falls apart in your mouth and has a decent moisture to it from the curry. Its good by itself, with the rice, or eaten with some coco bread. The jerk pork is fatty and has a good jerk seasoning flavor (not spicy at all). Its probably the most tender meat they have and its good even after being reheated a short time. The jerk ribs were my favorite! The ribs come off the bone easy and the sauce that comes on them is the best jerk sauce in the restaurant. I definitely recommend trying them if you like jerk or pork. (For a fuller, spicy note of flavor, get the hot jerk sauce to dip or pour on the ribs.) The Oxtail Mac N Cheese is okay, but its nothing too special. There's less cheese in the equation than a typical American Mac N Cheese, but the Oxtail is pretty good. Fatty, soft to chew, and almost buttery, I appreciate the influence, but I'd prefer a cheesier and saltier version of this dish. The Veggie Patty was great! I think the patties are homemade as I've never had such a good vegetable patty. I'd come back for the patties alone! The coco bread we got sat for a bit so it wasn't as soft, but I suspect thay was my fault. TLDR; I definitely recommend this restaurant! Its a 4 to 4.5/5 considering what Jamaican food in Georgia typically tastes like. We had leftovers that were good the next day! Get a jerk pork, a patty, some jerk Chicken, and make sure you get extra jerk sauce and extra gravy for your rice.

    Got the brown stewed chicken, I loved it! Got it to go, I ate off of it for 2 days, they gave me so…read moremuch. I will definitely be back

    Service was fine and timely. This was my first visit, tried ordering jerk chicken but they were out…read moreso I ordered jerk ribs instead. My meal totaled about $25 which I thought was fair for a large dinner and a side of Mac and cheese. The portions were hearty which was a plus! The ribs were really good, mildly spicy with a smoked flavor! Came with four full bones. Sauce on the side was good as well, I'd definitely order again. 8.5/10 for ribs I was NOT a fan of the rice and peas, they were different than what I'm used to and seriously lacked flavor, not authentic at all. 5/10 because the texture was at least good. Cabbage was fine, nothing to write home about. It wasn't mushy or anything but slightly overcooked and also lacked flavor. 5/10 The Mac and cheese tasted better than it looked in my opinion lol I was expecting a solid, possibly baked mac and cheese but theirs is extremely soupy and heavily seasoned (garlic taste is strong). I received a great sized for $6.25 so no complaint there. I'd rate the Mac 7/10. I'd order again but I'd probably swap the rice for Mac instead which I believe is only a $2.50 Upcharge I will return to try the jerk chicken! Overall, I liked the food I just didn't LOVE it. I almost loved the ribs but I'd still return.

    Good Service. Small inside but clean…read more I only ordered a beef patty with cocoa bread - barely any meat inside & very thin
