Excellent Jamaican food. The Jerk Chicken Salad was excellent and I added some English Salad Cream. It was proper spicy! The Beef Stew was tender and yummy. Rice and peas also excellent. Even thou we went during the lunch rush the food came out quickly. If you are looking for Jamaican food this is the place to go! read more

Di Reggae Cafe - Beef Stew - Caribbean Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

See all

The restaurant is at King George Blvd. and 108 but you cannot access the restaurant from the main road since there is an iron railing circling around the outer edge of the sidewalk and you cannot enter from King George so you have to access the restaurant by driving around the back. It is a very small restaurant. The front has a very nice Caribbean vibe with Caribbean music, grass fronds over the bar and Caribbean posters. It has a very nice island vibe and could put you in a holiday frame of mind. There was only 1 table in the front of the restaurant that was not a high top. The back of the restaurant had a couple of booths but it seemed very dark back there. They also had a couple of tables set up outside but they were not conducive to what we wanted as they overlooked the parking lot and King George Blvd. When we arrived there were no customers dining inside and the staff was at the back of the restaurant. We waited and waited and finally my husband shouted "hello". We were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Again we waited and waited. I was tempted to get up and leave but my husband said he really wanted to try the food. Finally a waitress appeared. They did not have many of listed drinks available. I asked for white wine, Bacardi breeze, and a mango drink. None were available. My husband had a ginger beer and I finally settled on a pineapple drink (in a bottle) and water. Our server was not particularly helpful. The menu that is shown on their website is outdated. They do not offer the smaller portions anymore and the prices are higher than they show on their website. We both had spicy beef patties ($4,00 vs $3.75 on website) . They were delicious. The pastry was nice and flakey and the filling was hot and nicely seasoned. For entrees I had oxtail ($21.00 vs $19.75 on website). My husband had the jerk pork. Both of our meals were very good and the serving sizes were generous. My oxtail was delicious. The gravy and carrots with the oxtail were very good. My husband enjoyed the jerk sauce that was served with his pork. Both entrees came with a dumpling, macaroni and rice and peas. I notice that the reviews on their website are also outdated. All are reviews from 2019. I think that Di Reggae is more interested in take out customers than walk in clientele. Although we really enjoyed the food it is unlikely that we'll return. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and has a great island theme but we honestly felt like we were imposing on the staff by taking a table and wanting to eat in. Maybe we should try Riddim and Spice as other reviewers have mentioned read more

There is nothing reggae about this cafe. The stark quietness coupled with a woman speaking loudly about her life story was annoying. The food here is sub par lacking flavour. The surrey location was out of any curried veg today which is sad because the only non meat dish was red beans and rice ( basmati). The veg patties are basic nothing special could have purchased the packaged kind and it would taste the same. I didn't finish my food because it was so bland. I met the owner who explained that he has a Vancouver location opening up with more veg options. Not very inspired to check it out. I have had much better Jamaican food. read more

They have great West Indian food with my favourite being the curried goat. The jerk chicken is a close second with a small bowl of sauce you can dip your chicken into. My only complaint could be that I don't get to go there enough. read more

I love this place so much for it's atmosphere. The owners are friendly and make you feel like family every time you go. Di Reggae hosts great music nights featuring local artists and promotes and holds community events. It's a great place to grab some drinks with friends or to grab lunch solo. I have dreams about the rice and beans; I don't know what they do to it but it's so moist and flavourful. I would pass on the patties and save some room for the rum cake instead. If you're lucky enough to go when they have fish fritters grab one. read more

Di Reggae Cafe - Jerk chicken, rice and beans, corn bread. - Caribbean Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

My bf took us here, he had been a few times with a pal who grew up in Jamaica and he loves to share his food spots with us. My rating is based on the Jamaican patties and the friendliness of the woman who served us. While it's during the pandemic so it's takeout only. Between the two of us we had the mild beef patty, the spicy beef patty, the vegetarian patty, and the chicken patty. The pastry is so flaky and the spice is spot on. The filling was a little bit more on the generous side with the beef than the chicken, I will definitely go back and have the beef patty again. I also want to go back and try some of their mains (oxtail). The woman who assisted us was shy but friendly and it was so nice when she smiled! Parking is available on the street, take note the road where you park is one way, so if you're accessing from King George you have to go around the little plaza, do a loop to get in. read more

I went to have a lovely meal at Di Reggae Cafe as I have not been in a while, and it seems there is a new owner (as new decor) and a new cook (as the food was not the same as before). Some of the food/meals we got had rotten foods, sour callaloo, super dry jerk chicken and just very sub-par foods. Then they played the exact same song over and over again on a loop with no other music at all. Needless to say, we all got very ill from eating that food and had to cancel our Christmas and New Years due to the illness from said foods. We will never go there ever again! read more

Pleasant service. And a good place to go if you on the Surrey side of the Fraser River. I would rather travel into town to Commercial Drive for the Riddim & Spice experience where I have been dining for 30 years. Oxtail, gravy, and rice and peas are always worth the trip. Also always enjoy their salad. read more

As a Canadian-born Jamaican, Di Reggae Cafe truly comes through when you are craving some food that mom usually holds down for you. The staff here are great, very welcoming and friendly. The menu is fantastic and invites newcomers to explore a lot of different Caribbean delicacies from meat to fish and even vegetarian options here. Lunch specials are great, would recommend checking out their website or here on yelp for their menu. Also I know they have a lot of artists and events happening here which is great for the Caribbean (and African) Canadian community here in Whalley and beyond. read more

I've been going here for a couple of years now and they never fail to amaze me!! I even told the chef that it wasn't good, with nothing left on my plate but bones The Oxtail read more

Tried this place today after my coworker told me about it. I was excited to have jamaican food that actually tastes good in BC. I ordered the regular size oxtail which comes with rice and peas and was it ever delicious!! The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the portions. For $18 for the regular size I thought I was give the small at first. Nonetheless, it is tasty and delicious. I also got a couple of jamaican beef patties (one spicy and one reg) which were also quite yummy, but I preferred the spicy one. I would come back to this place and try other dishes. I heard the chicken roti is also very good! read more

small portions for the biggest prices 25 dollars and i was starving still go see andre at riddim n spice on commercial drive he's not the best but at least his portion is good and the price .... read more

Awesome little gem of a place! We came in with a coupon I had, and a little short on time and the stylish woman at the counter (maybe the owner) was very accommodating. We ordered the "feature of d' day" which was fried kingfish steak with beans and rice and cornbread. The fish might have been a little overcooked or dry but we enjoyed the meal. The place has a cheery, tropical vibe; colorfully painted, twinkle lights, straw palapas, and of course reggae music. She told us they have live music on the weekends so will definitely be going back for that and to try the jerk chicken! read more
