“This was our first time in Los Angeles from Canada. My husband is Jamaican and is always looking for Jamaican food. We stopped by this restaurant. I had the curry goat, my son had the oxtail and my husband had the curry chicken. We were so impressed with the taste of all our meals. The food was seasoned so well that we thought we were in Jamaica. The owner made us feel like we were visiting a friend. I highly suggest visiting this restaurant.“

“Authentic, delicious option for Jamaican food! Tender curry goat, spicy jerk chicken! My friend and I were on our way to the Beyoncé concert at SoFi and stopped here for lunch. Perfect meal that kept us satiated throughout the performance! Would eat here again for sure.“

“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety“

“Ever since I went to Belize in 2014 I've been trying to find the cuisine. Fryjacks for breakfast ?
Oxtail, beans & rice, plantains and potato salad(mayo) or cabbage slaw(vinegar).
Can't go wrong with the fried fish either.
The owners are always so friendly.
Thanks for a delicious meal every time. Can't miss spot when passing through LA.
Best Belizean food in SoCal.“

Incredible flavors, unbeatable prices, locally owned and super clean. There’s even a little market section with imported Jamaican seasonings. You need this food in your life.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“It is one of the best Belizian food spots in South Los Angeles. The portions are hefty, and you can feed three people on one serving. The Oxtails and stew beans and rice are to die for. ? we have had oxtails at a lot of places, and their flavor is the best. Small place, and they have dine in. It's a must try. I forgot to take pictures. Will update on my next visit.“

“Let me start with its a very long line & wait.

The food is absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. Customer service is fantastic. But geez the long line up…we arrived at 1:25 they open at 1:30pm & there was a long line, I mean long but they did provide ice cold water which was refreshing & needed when standing in the sun for any length of time.
By the time we got into the restaurant, order, pay & actually get our food it was 3:50pm. They have seating available once you get inside and wait another 30-45 min for your order so you can relax.
Yes people thats how long the wait is. 2.5hrs to wait for food don't get me wrong like I said the food was great but just cant see myself waiting in line again for that length of time hence the 3 stars for atmosphere. I was told the line up is the norm.“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“Muy rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“So yummy! Generous portions. I like this location more than the Venice. I don’t know why. It has a better flavor - more juicy and saucy. The garlic chicken. With rice and plantains and beans. So excellent. Very happy ! I order it to pick up/ eat at home. I can get 2-3 meals from it. If I make my own rice lol.“

“It was a really good experience 👍👍. Good Cuban 🇨🇺 food“

Parking: It’s a medium size parking lot it’s never crowded“

“The curry goat and jerk salmon were good.“

“I just ate here for my birthday on Saturday. I have been to Belize and this food took me right back there. The owner Leslie, is from Belize and is very friendly and attentive, as his the staff. Phenomenal food, and large portions. Get the sampler platter for your appetizer, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are ever in Gardena, you should stop here. Gardena Cinema is a few blocks away, and is also fantastic. The restaurant closes at 7pm, and most shows start at 7:30, so it makes for the perfect evening.“

“Came into town to visit and stopped in at this hidden gem. The good and service was good and quick. My crew had the liver, oxtails and split peas, stew chicken and breakfast with fry jacks. The fry jacks were my FAVORITE. They were big and fluffy. All plates came with large portion size. I couldn’t even finish all of my food. We ended by trying the rice pudding which was delicious. This will definitely be my go to for Belizean food whenever I am in town“

“Had the Jerk Chicken and it was awesome! Hubby had the Curried Goat & son had the Oxtail/Jerk Chicken combo and all three were delicious! Also tried a. Curry chicken patty & a beef patty-both were tasty! Washed it all down with some authentic Kola Champagne. Would highly recommend!“

“Ever bring on the menu was awesome!! This isn’t just a restaurant they are also connected to a Jamaican store as well that has all of our Jamaican favorites!! This by far is the best we have had!“

“Great customer service First time I tried it suggested by my brother from LA!“

“Best Jerk Chicken in the world!!!“

“From the moment we walked into A Beautiful Life, the atmosphere was unmatched—Jamaican-boho aesthetic, warm lighting, and you’d never guess you were right in downtown LA.

Our server, Diamond, was absolutely exceptional. Her customer service, attentiveness, and amazing energy made the entire experience stand out. She truly elevated the night.

The food was equally impressive:
• Plantains with jerk sauce: perfectly sweet with the right amount of kick.
• Vegan wings and nuggets: crispy, flavorful, and a must-try for plant-based diners.
• Oxtail Mac & Cheese: moist, tender, well-seasoned—hands down a 10/10.
• Lamb chops: spicy, meaty, and cooked to perfection.
• Vegan curry: flavorful, mild spice, another 10/10 dish.
• Churros with caramel: sweet, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth good.

This restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience—whether for a date night, a girls’ night out, or simply treating yourself. We’ll definitely be back.“

If you want to try something different and want a taste of the islands, this is the place you have to go! We will definitely be back......delicious!!! Need to try everything else on the menu. Thank you very much!“
