    If your in the mood for some authentic Caribbean cuisine, island vibes, drinks after work or to catch the game or fight. Jah'Lion Grill and Bar is a absolute MUST! From their service to their food you will not be disappointed.

    Snapper cooked to perfection!

    We were downtown to pickup a gift for a friend and noticed this new restaurant. Decided to give it a try! Thank goodness we did! The food and the service is great! Watts is a really incredible chef! We can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu!

    Outstanding jerk chicken! Red Stripe. Fast service. This is a gem - Beaufort needs to support it.

    New location downtown Beaufort, atmosphere is dope, service is on point, food is ridiculous. I always come to Jah Lions when I'm in town.

    After reading some reviews I don't want to be repetitive. But this place is a gem in Bluffton…read more The place is super nice, you feel relaxed as soon as you come in. Decoration is amazing. I had the Crispy Shrooms. Really good. Jollof rice is definitely a different and unexpected texture and flavor, very good. For the main dish was the Lobster Cashew curry. Absolutely beautifully presented and delicious. I should've follow my server advice about the rice. jollof rice must pair really good with meat. Not that much with seafood. I think the prices are very reasonable even for the wine. Service is impecable. Music Level perfect. Definitely coming back to try all the menu.

    We have been hearing great things from friends about how outstanding Okan is. So, we finally got…read morearound to trying it out. We made a reservation and when we arrived, were seated immediately. The hostess was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was beautiful and very comfy. We liked the vibe very much. So far, we are thinking this is going to be a 5 star experience. Unfortunately the wine we ordered is no longer being served so we had to pivot to a different one. Which was fine. So, onto the food. My hubby is not as adventurous as I am in terms of trying new foods. He decided to play it safe. We started with the cornbread. It was served in a small cast iron skillet with butter and jam. The cornbread & jam was good. The butter was a bit odd. It was a whipped/fluffy consistency but the flavor was lacking. Honestly, it sort of reminded me more of old school Crisco from a can than a nice whipped butter. Hubs decided to get the ceaser with cabbage and the Mac & cheese. I ordered the cashew curry & Carolina Gold rice. Hubs absolutely loved his salad. He said it was the most flavorful salad he ever had. I am not a fan of cabbage but I tasted it and he is right, the flavor was unbelievably good. This was the best thing we tasted on our visit. I also tried a bite of his Mac & cheese and it was not something I would order here. I got an overwhelming taste of onion, which is not my favorite thing. Hubs thought it was ok, but not the best he's tasted. I was very excited to try the cashew curry. Unfortunately, it fell flat of my expectations. I expected a complex flavor profile with lots of layers. I got the earthiness & umami. But not much else. The veggies were good. But the lobster was chewy/rubbery in texture. I added Carolina Gold rice and it was ok, but sort of consistency of day old rice without a lot of flavor. It was very filling though, so we skipped dessert. Overall, service was 4 or 5 stars but the food (other than the salad) just fell a little flat for us. Not sure if we caught them on an off night food-wise.

    Come here two Saturday's in a row because it was so good! Was a bit deceived with the name, lol…read more I'm Haitian and was hoping it was Haitian food, but this Caribbean/Southern spot hits the spot. The staff here is so sweet! They really help with making decisions and even offer samples if you're indecisive(like me). They wear masks when packaging food and have an outdoor seating area. Both times I got my food to go, and was in and out pretty quickly. The homemade tropical punch is so good! If ordering a "made to order" menu item, expect to wait about 15 minutes. The curry shrimp is one of those items and I was not disappointed. My friend also got curry goat and the pork chop and both were SO GOOD! As always, I do wish they have more meat, but this is something I'm used to from Caribbean restaurants. BUT- they have all things on the menu when I went in, something that doesn't always happen at the Caribbean joints I'm used to. This is the second Caribbean spot I've tried in the Savannah area, and this is tops!

    Food was good, not great, but the serving were pretty decent. They do nickel and dime you for…read moreEVERYTHING; they charge you to receive LESS ice in your drink, not no ice, just less. They charge you more to get the same sides, with the dishes that come with 2 sides. There were a few other things that surprised me, that made me not want to go back, like certain meals you can get at lunch, but not dinner and they didn't have any lamb dishes available and they pushed the goat, which was full of sharp bones. I think I'll stick with Island Breeze.
