“This has become one of my go-to spots in town for Jamaican food. Top tier service and the food actually amazed me. Coming from Toronto, there are few places I’ll trust for their Jamaican cuisine but Reggae Rooster impressed me and I’ll definitely be back.“

“Island Grill is an absolute gem in Ottawa. The food is packed with flavor, portions are generous, and you can tell there’s real care behind what comes out of the kitchen.

Do yourself a favor and get the jerk poutine. Thank me later. 🔥

Seriously, don’t overthink, just order it.“

“Thank you for catering for the City of Ottawa Employment and Social Services. The food was filled with soul, rich flavours, and authentic Caribbean taste that takes you on a culinary journey straight to the beautiful island of Haiti.
Thank you for bringing such an amazing experience to our table!“

“I wasn’t expecting to be blown away, but this place delivered pure magic. From the first bite, you can taste the love, the tradition, and the confidence in every dish. It felt like someone’s manman cooked for me and told me < chita, manje, ou lakay>.

The pikliz had attitude spicy enough to wake you up, flavorful enough to keep you coming back. Not just heat for heat’s sake, but real Haitian balance.

The rice was perfect. Fluffy, aromatic, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don’t rush the process. This is rice made with pride.

The goat was tender, well‑seasoned, and absolutely worth adding to the order. No dryness, no toughness just pure, delicious tassot.

Everything arrived hot, neatly packed, and smelling like Sunday dinner.

This restaurant doesn’t just serve food it serves culture, comfort, and joy. If you want authentic Haitian flavors that hit straight in the soul, this is the spot. Five stars without hesitation.“

“Highly recommend!
Purchased the holiday dinner with jerk turkey, callaloo, macaroni and cheese and stuffing. It was delicious!! The cranberry sorrel compote had a brilliant flavour profile that I really enjoyed, the callaloo was authentic trini style but could have been a bit thicker, the jerk turkey was moist and flavorful, and the portion size was good. The macaroni and cheese was rich and tasty but I didn't taste any particular caribbean flavours. We also ordered a side of rum butter which we ate with cake and waffles - it was delicious.

I am very grateful to have had authentic caribbean main dishes to supplement my Christmas dinner this year. It saved us a lot of time and effort, and we truly enjoyed the flavours and meal. Chef Reesa is an absolutely wonderful chef and her responses to my online questions were quick. Will definitely order again!“
