    Jerk meatballs minus some bites
    Julie h.

    I've been wanting to come here for some time and it finally worked in my favor last night! I ordered food to go from here during the covid days when places were shut down and I was so impressed then. It's a family owned establishment which is so nice to see and support. We opted to sit inside to avoid the Florida mugginess. We ordered a large sangria to share. It was on the sweet side but very tasty! We then ordered numerous apps: jerk meatballs, conch fritters, garbanzo beans and plantain fries. We probably should of stopped there but we were told the ox tail pepper pot was a must and my boyfriend was eyeing the curry goat. Everything was favorable and so tasty. This was my first time trying ox tail and it won't be my last. We were all happy that we came and will definitely be back!

    Grouper curry in the front, mac and cheese in the back.

    This is a great restaurant! Went for the first time a few weeks ago with my 7 year old daughter. Everything we ordered was very very very good. Might be the best food I've eaten. Okra rice and plantains accompanied curried grouper. Perfect pairing. My daughter ate Mac and Cheese made a special Bamboo fire way. We brought home the leftovers and ate the next day. Wonderful!!

    Chicken Curry, roti, snapper

    Last minute decision to try a new place for dinner on Easter Sunday. Barbara and her family were kind and very welcoming. Ordered dhal as appetizer and curry chicken with roti as main course. Delicious!

    Oxtails, plantains and rice

    Best meal we had in Florida! Walked in and knew we were about to have a home style meal! Smiley was great and her Sad was really nice as well. Everything recommended was 10/10.

    Jerk meatballs as appetizer
    Kathleen S.

    Located in downtown Delray Beach, Bamboo Fire offers terrific Guyanese cuisine in a small restaurant with outdoor seating. The menu cover blandly describes the cuisine as "Caribbean" and "international," but the owner is Guyanese; thus, I assume the food is closer to Guyanese in style. Having never visited Guyana or tried Guyanese food before, I can't say what at Bamboo Fire is distinctly Guyanese, though common Caribbean fare, such as curries, jerk, plantains, conch, and other seafood dominate. My husband and I ordered the jerk chicken ($15), tofu curry ($13), along with a side of roti ($4). The jerk chicken and tofu curry came with a salad, okra fried rice, and plantains. Our server brought out the salad first, like it was an appetizer rather than a side, followed by our mains. Both dishes, along with the okra fried rice, were wonderfully flavorful and well-spiced. The chicken especially was tender and delicious, while the curry carried heat. I particularly appreciated that the food was not too oily; the roti was not greasy at all. The portions were adequate, and we left feeling more than satiated. By arriving at around 6PM on a Friday, we were able to find street parking two streets away. However, as other Yelp reviewers have noted, street parking is limited, though a parking garage is nearby. The restaurant is in walking distance of the main strip on Atlantic Ave, making it a convenience spot from which to further explore Delray.

    Tostones with Garlic Sauce

    This place was soo good and the sit down family style is really nice. All the food was hot and the service and people were friendly. For the appetizers we got the fried plantains, tostadas with a garlic butter sauce, and complimentary jerk meatballs. We got for the entrees was chicken jerk with non-American and American spicy, the curry goat with roti and the peppered oxtail. Each entree came with a salad that was okay. Additionally the meal came with rice for the table. The chicken jerk was so spicy and so flavorful and the plantains were cooked so well. I also got a sangria that's was sweet and tangy. This place is was great and will be returning next time I'm in town!

    Omg the food and staff so amazing let's just say that. This food is from Guyanese but amazing, for Carrie an food. The food well seasoned and gave you so much. My mom and I shared the oxtail, curry goat, jerk chicken, and the rum cake. And the staff was polite, recommended a lot of amazing choices. And we will definitely be going back. To try a few other dishes as well. The ambiance was really relaxed as well to. I definitely recommend both my mom and I went here

    The fried plantains with the garlic butter sauce was PERFECT
    Sandra S.

    Overall I would come back to this resturant and try out more dishes. The meatballs were very good, I would of liked it a bit More well done on the outside but it was flavorful with a kick at the end. The plantains were perfect! The conch also delicious and prepared very well. I'm not a fan of okra so the rice threw me off but honestly it was probably the best okra I had comparing between the few times I tried it. But I would of just preferred regular rice and peas. The oxtail was very good. The salad was fine but I didn't get any dressing. The rum cake was strong. It tasted like the cake was made then rum was pour over it not Like the cake was actually made with the rum. The ice cream had frost bite on it which sucked and the cake portion was way too small compared to the amount of ice cream and whipped cream that was on it.

    I grew up in Boynton Beach. Tropical Island was never my first option for island or Hatian Food…read more because of the reputation that the restaurant had before when it was in the old location up the Street I decided to try this restaurant for the first time since his new location has been open for about a year or two. Surprisingly, when I walked in the restaurant was clean and up-to-date, the staff was super nice and greeted me initially when I came in the door with a friendly Hello! I checked out the scenery, of course, and noticed that in the new location the kitchen was open and you can see the staff preparing the food. Once I got to the register, I explained it was my first time there at this new location. The staff quickly gave me a rundown of the menu and dinner options available to me. One of the staff members also explained the difference between the two meat choices I was interested in. impatiently waited for me to make the final decision on which dinner plate I was interested in ordering. After paying , my food came out and about 10my food came out in about 10 minutes tops. The cashier opened the plate containing my food to show me how hot, fresh, and tasty looking my food was. Lastly, He secured my food with a plastic bag and handed me all of the items I purchased. I thought to myself what took me so long to actually come to this restaurant. It was such a great experience. I love the grow of the restaurant Customer Service different from the past experiences. I have had with this restaurant when it was in the location overall the experience was great and the price for one large plate of Griot was only $15. You cant beat that with a fat stick lol!

    I went yesterday 05/21/26,Thursday to get some dinner for me and my wife, the food was delicious…read moreand fresh. I got a large oxtail and a large curry goat for my wife. The service was fast and easy. The ambiance was great. As usual the food was enough for 2/3 days, because they give you a lot for the money.

    Umm if there was a 3.5 that would be more accurate…read more I ordered online for pickup, and when I went in the meals still weren't ready despite what the pickup time stated online. I ordered the Jerk Pork with Rice & Peas and Veggies (cabbage). The food itself was decent, but lacked a little bit of the real jerk flavour, and some of the pork was a little bit dry... almost as though new tender meat was mixed with older meat... this removed a half star for sure. The rice & peas and cabbage were good though. Also they did get the order right and the portions were pretty generous. They got the request for extra condiments and cutlery correct as well, something I find that is often missed with online ordering. PROS: - Easy to find (inside the mall food court) - Order accuracy - Generous portions - Pricing... value is pretty fair CONS: - Moisture of the meat (inconsistent) - Longer than stated wait time for pickup - Taste was "okay", could have used more "jerk" in the pork While I'm not waiting on bated breath for the next visit, I think I will try them again one day to see if (an)other food item(s) would be better. With slight improvements this could be a real go-to spot. And yes, as always, I'll keep you posted when that happens!
