Caribbean Restaurants near Scottdale

“Don't let the low-frills appearance fool you - the food here is great. It reminds me of the stands you would see selling jerk chicken in Jamaica, and it tastes just as authentic. If it's busy you might have to wait a little bit (nothing unreasonable), but that has typically been my experience when getting good jerk chicken. Go with the right attitude, and enjoy the food!“

“Jordan C was our server and made our experience! Easily some of the best service I've had in Atlanta in a LONG time. Shout out to him. Outside of that this place is really cool and vibey. The ambiance helps curate the experience and the food and drinks are delicious! The jerk chicken was so good! A little spicy but really flavorful. The curry and roti were also delicious as well!“

“Feel good atmosphere and loved the food and service! Thomas is awesome and so personable which makes you feel like you want to spend all day there. The plantain chips and queso is a delicious twist! My husband and I enjoyed the Cuban and guava cheesecake too! Cuban is one of, if not THE best, we’ve had. We have ventured all over the world and lived in different countries so we aren’t bluffing. We got the Grilled Red Snapper To-Go for my cousin and she said it was amazing! Seems like the type of place where anything you order will be tasty!“

“Don’t know where to start. Finally, an authentic caribbean/Jamaican restaurant in ATL. The food as well as the service is top notch, and quite frankly, this place deserves more than 5 stars. Their drinks are great as well—the Bob Marley and the rum punch, are my favorite drinks. What I love most about this place is that it makes you feel like you are back on the islands. From the music to the food—it makes you feel as though you transported to Jamaica. Everything I had so far was excellent (pls try their patties and coco bread —to meIt is the best I have had since moving to ATL 3 yrs ago from Brooklyn) and their brunch is on point! I have been to this place 4 times and they have not disappointed me or my husband. I will be back again!“

“I was so lucky to have found this place. After a bad lasagna the night before, I was hooked up with real lasagna. The guys working were friendly. The chicken was ground, cheesy, and just down right delicious. I could have eaten two pieces. I can't wait to go back.“

“Never disappoints - the best cocktails in Decatur! Great atmosphere and bartenders are always friendly and skilled. They do not take reservations and it’s pretty small inside, so get there right when they open or be prepared to have a wait!“

“Ms. Icey's is a vibe! My husband and I decided to stop in for dinner on Saturday evening around 8pm. The restaurant wasn't super crowded at least on the inside. The patio area was pretty packed. We were immediately greeted and seated by the host as the DJ played all the hits! Our waiter CJ (I believe) was super friendly and recommended a few drink options which were great! For our food: We originally planned to order Jerk Burgers but they were sold out! We ended up ordering Jerk Ribs with mac and cheese and Jerk Chicken with rice and peas, everything was very tasty! The owner of the restaurant came over to greet us and chatted for a while, which was a great gesture! He was very friendly and welcoming. We definitely plan to come back here for brunch! We enjoyed this place so much that I also recommended it to a few others! Give this place a try!“

“Personality, passion fruit, papaya, professionalism... lotta Frutta is certainly pushing P. Food - afforable Service - catered and kind Ambiance - Caribbean shack on the corner street This is a hidden gem of Atlanta, do not ruin it for the locals“

“Such a cute vibe here and absolutely love the servers. They remember my children with each visit. Nice to enjoy a good meal that even my kids can enjoy. Small inside but never too crowded and gives a nice island vibe. Food is always fresh and never seems like it just sits under a hot lamp.“

“I have been frequenting The Beverly since July ‘21 usually immediately after work on a week day. Great drinks and awesome finger food in an excellent location is the draw. But on Sunday my husband and I went in for “brunch”…. Let me tell y’all, the atmosphere combined with the perfect weather on the patio was perfect. His Texas Margarita and my Expresso Martini were made with perfection. Our server, Bri is the BOMB…even though she’s a Steeler’s fan. The expediters had our delicious, hot food out in record time. Kudos to the OWNER/Management team!! Keep it just like this. Don’t disturb this GROOVE!! …but next time have our jerk chicken egg rolls. -The Griffin’s“

“The food is absolutely delicious!! The flavors and variety of dishes were worth the 30 min drive from my house to the restaurant.The owner explain the different fish & meats to me, how they were prepared & suggested what to pair with my main dish choice. He even gave me small cup samples to taste to help me make my meal choice; never have I had service at a restaurant like this before.Please, if you are looking for authentic African meals, a nice atmosphere and great, service you’ve got to give African Palace a try!“

“I Just love this place Caribbean Elegance Restaurant & Lounge that is under new management I visited in Decatur, I met Patrice she was so professional, she made me feel so welcomed. Patrice was so prompt and pleasant in serving me. I ordered the Chicken Wings with the Smoked Sinful Passion. What I loved most of all is that I did not have to wait too long for Patrice to have my order on my table. I would recommend this place to my friends and family. The food was scrumptious. I mean the atmosphere was awesome. I am the type of person that loves my food hot, and hot is what it was on my table. This is my new hang out.Parking: I was able to park my car with great access to retrieve it.“

“The food is really good & fresh! I ordered the pick any 3 (Loaded chicken nacho fries, side of jerk chicken taco & red beans & rice. With 2 jerk chicken egg rolls) The jerk chicken is just right not too spicy! The red beans & rice is the best red beans & rice I have ever had! I highly recommend them!“

“THIS PLACE IS AN ENTIRE VIBE! They have inside and outside seating. The respect but integrity the security has sets the tone before you even walk in the doors. Staff actually look and feel like they want to be there. They talk to you even if they aren't your server. The bartenders ARE AMAZING! They are fast and knowledgeable about drinks. The food menu OMG. IlMyv eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. Taking home 3 Togo boxes was not what I expected, but worth E-V-E-R-Y penny. There were performers that were there that I definitely didn't expect, but they were a great surprise. I will definitely be planning my birthday party here. It has everything I need. Even the bathroom was a sight. I used it as a photo shoot of course lol. The dj is quick on his feet and has a VERY BIG library of music. The Mc was more than that. He could actually SANG! They have a great vibe going. I can't wait to go back. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!“

“Yes and YES and YES AND YES!!!!!!! When you see the grill outside you know what’s up! After attending carnival 2022 and being disappointed with the food…We were on the hunt for some great Jamaican food to settle our tummies. After reading reviews all the local Islanders stated this was the spot. And boy were they on point! Customer service was absolutely amazing and these were the best oxtails I have ever had and that’s a high bar to reach! We also got fried chicken and baby they had the graces ketchup!!!! If you know you know! The jerk chicken was amazing as well. The main thing that I really loved about this food was it was truly authentic no water down flavor and the spice was on point! We have deemed this spot Our Jamaican go to whenever we are in Atlanta!“

“Used to go to Golden Crust since I did not know this place existed. Friend suggested it and I Will never eat Golden Crust again after coming to this restaurant. Food is delicious and the pricing is amazing. Best bang for the buck in Atlanta. Will come here once a week from now on!!!“

“Having heard that the food and vibe here were good, we traveled all the way from Douglasville. Definitely the best food I have ever had. The drinks were just as good, as was the service. I recommend that you try this restaurant if you are celebrating your birthday or any occasion. Shot back out to the DJ who was also throwing down!“

“Nice tuck away Gem in Lawrenceville with delicious cuisine. Bel manner stays true to its Haitian roots, refraining from Americanizing the food. The portion was worth the value. We fed a family of 4 on one order. The customer service was better than expected, and the food came out promptly: I received my food within 15 minutes of arriving. I will definitely go back.“

“Tropics Jerk Center is tops in my book for great Caribbean food!Jerk chicken and jerk pork are my repeat orders. Great jerk seasoning with a little kick, as well as moist and tender.Lunch plates (fried chicken) my wife and I like, will do you right along with the rice and peas with cabbage and carrots slaw sides.What tops the meal off is the service, always with a pleasant greeting and thanks for coming! If you haven’t yet, give them a try!“

“The rice and peas are cooked to Perfection and the jerk sauce is nice and spicy. I came because I'm getting my car serviced next door and needed food. The sweet cool gave me plantains and cabbage for free. It's a small family business vibe inside. The staff are really Jamaicans so the food on point. Definitely the best rice and peas I've had on Atlanta. Definitely coming back“

“This is a take-out spot! Don’t expect to sit down and beware of the Js! Once you look past the fact that it’s in a dirty gas station, you’ll be alright. The food was really good. I ordered griot and rice. You get a nice size portion of everything. I paid $20. It wasn’t the best griot I ever ate in Atlanta but it was decent. The pikliz seemed kinda old. It wasn’t spicy at all but it tasted good. Haitian food is so hard to find in Atlanta that I would literally eat it from the back of a gas station! I would definitely come back!“

“Was in town for a business meeting and visited Spice House. Shawna who provided service was a breath of fresh air in a city I'm not familiar with. Her knowledge of the menu and the suggestions she provided were excellent. Shawna is an asset to your establishment and her genuine warmth by humanizing the experience makes her a gift to all.“

“I visited Influence Restaurant & Lounge with a few friends a week ago. Loved the ambience of this place! It’s a nice spot for your birthday, a date night, or even just a “girls night”. The food and drinks are good. I really enjoyed the empanadas, highly recommended. The DJ had a pretty diverse playlist, so it was a vibe. I will definitely be visiting frequently!!“

“I was on the hunt for some Jamaican food and typically I have to drive over to Decatur or Stone Mountain for some good spots. My usual place was too far out so I decided to pull up Yelp and find a closer spot. This place wasn't close from where I was but there were cars in the lot so I trusted it. I was very pleased with my oxtails and rice. She gave me more gravy on the rice and peas and I enjoyed the well seasoned cabbage. If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely visit again.“

“This was my first time at this restaurant. I don't live in the area, so this was a recommendation from a friend. I was out with my sister for her birthday. The service was great! The wait staff was very attentive, and the food came out fast! They have a robot waiter, which was really cool. The robot waiter delivered the food and beverages to the tables. It was also accompanied by a person to ensure smooth service. The food was good. The callaloo was the only thing that was not the greatest for me. It was chopped up one time, too many, which made it mushy, and it was dry. Somehow, it tasted better when I reheated it the next day??‍♀️Now I don't know WHO made their cornbread, but, MY GOD, TUHDAY!! It was so light, fluffy, and moist! And they didn't overdo it with the actual corn kernels in it.Overall, it was a great experience.Parking: It's located in a shopping plaza just around the corner from Perimeter Mall. There's more than enough parkingKid-friendliness: They have high chairs available, and the atmosphere is very chill. Music isn't loud at all.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a wheelchair ramp right in front of the restaurant, just to the left of the door as you're entering.It's spacious inside, so it would be easy to maneuver. Although, one would have to contend with the robot that delivers the food.“

“Had a great time stopping here before a show at the Fox. It was super easy to get there from the North Ave MARTA station & a short walk to the Fox from there. The food, service, and drinks were amazing! Ahmeer the host was so nice and worked to accommodate us despite being tardy for our reservation.“

“I eat here quite often, I first tried it last year around November, it is so good, if you're a student at GSU or if you live around the area I beg you to check it out. The food is fantastic, they serve it to you nice and hot, everything is fresh. The service is good as well, very nice people behind the counter. And the vibes in the market are really nice. Please check it out if you're in the area!“

“?️ Every item on the menu is so Tasty; you will not be disappointed. I’ve been coming here to buy spapper, shrimp, and conch fritters for 7 years now and the food has been consistently superb. Great food and friendly service => Chefs Kiss“

“The best food ever! Try the Rasta Pasta (OMG the best and super tasty), the Jerk Chicken ( my husband's favorite), the Beef Patties with Coco Bread ( my husbands favorite), the Callaloo and the the Oxtail (Yummy). NAUNIE'S INTERNATIONAL CUISINE & JUICE BAR NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! Try it for yourself we love it!!! The community was in need of a really good restaurant.Resurrection Sunday 3/2024!“

“As a puertorican, I found the "puertorican" food to not be authentic and it could have been better, as a hispanic/latino some of the other plates were good, but they could have been better. We really enjoyed the appetizers like the empanadas and the sampler, also the piña colada was really good.“

“My daughter kept going on and on about this Jamaican spot that was sooo good. When I decided to throw her a birthday party and asked what kind of food she wanted, of course she said Dat Fire Jerk Chicken! The food was everything she said it was...it was ready when I arrived to pick it up, everyone was super nice and that jerk salmon...OMG!! I would most definitely recommend them and will be coming back myself!!“

“It was my first time. I normally wait for a few encounters before I review. However, since I don't have plans to return soon I wanted to let you know that this place is worth a visit. Go with some friends and have yourself a grand time. ✨️“

“Our family has been coming here for years and the food & service has been consistently amazing! I always see the same ladies and they’ve always been so friendly & kind. Their black bean noodles and spicy seafood noodle soup is hard to beat. This is our go to spot everytime!“

“A successful live music, cigar, and wine night. Cozy lil' hidden gem in sandy springs. The band was amazing and the sound level was perfect. It's a small bar though so you may end up standing if other tables are not willing to share a booth or table. It was only ONE waitress at the time on a Saturday night. Turkey burger sliders are so darn good and only enough for one person. Decent ventilation system,too.“

“The jerk Chicken and shrimp Pasta was perfect. The jerk Chicken Pasta was perfect. The shrimp perfect, and drinks. It's a little strong but very good. It was a somewhat busy night with one bartender and 1 cook, so it's a time for service.“

“I wasn't expecting it to be so loud. Like so loud you have to yell to the person next to you. My husband and I were there for dinner, but this definitely would've been a better vibe for brunch with the girls. There was hookah, but they had really good ventilation and the fans going. Although it was cool, the smoke or smell of hookah wasn't bothersome. Food and service were good.“

“The food is decently priced. I feel like it’s more expensive than normal Jamaican spots because of inflation, but the food was so good. I got stew chicken with cabbage and plantain(2, I ate the other one before taking the pic) for the sides. They have other sides that you can pay extra for, but the cabbage was delicious. Would definitely go backVegetarian options: They had a veggie plate and I believe veggie patties as wellParking: Free parking in the lot“

“The food was worth the wait! Good and fresh food requires patience. We ordered the chicken meals with rice and peas. Took awhile to order just because they were trying to catch up on prior orders. Once we did order, our food took about 20mins. Everything was cooked well and we look forward to coming back“

“I’m not sure what changed at this location but this is usually my go to place for lunch. I got the barbi jerk with rice n peas and the chicken was great but the peas in the rice was under cooked. It was still kind of hard. The customer service was great.“

“I frequent this place often in terms of carry out but I came here for a work lunch the other day. I love Papi's and have tried several of their other locations so my go to items are: - medianoche - ropa vieja - vaca frita This time I tried the masita de puerco and it was a miss for me. The fried pork was very dry which was disappointing because everything else on the plate was well seasoned and so good that I was looking forward to pairing the pork with it. So yeah, wouldn't recommend that. Not letting that take away from the rating tho because the food is always amazing here.“

“Well my wife said she's at the exit door of our relationship...I said earlier today well let's get away for a moment to chill. You guys made my day and made me smile in the middle of a train wreck ya diggg! with the drink-food and atmosphere! If she's gone Dexter and the band serenaded us away...man those guys played my tears away. I'll be back asap!“

“I was craving oxtails and my friend recommended this place to me. As soon as I walked in and smelled how delicious everything seemed, I knew it was going to be good!I ordered the oxtail dinner and got a huge portion. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend this spot!“

“Great spot!! Oxtails and Jerk Chicken were both incredible. One of the best Jamaican spots in the city. Unfortunately they don't have Coco Bread nor Beef Patty but they've got pretty everything else and it's 10/10 would most def “
