More a takeout than a restaurant but the food is solid and delicious! Jerk chicken was delicious and very tender and service was quick.

Friendly family owned caribbean restaurant in the south end of the city. The food is fantastic! I preordered a party size menu for a family gathering. The food was ready on time and presented well. Flavours were exactly what i expected and there were no complaints from the party guests!

Ocho Rios is a must for carribbean food in this city!

Ocho Rios is a tasty spot! We had ordered from uber eats but never realized they had a small dine in area. The food was spectacular. I had the oxtail with jerk chicken, rice and peas with plantain! Not in the picture was a beef Pattie. All very good!

Ocho Rios has an amazing rating with good reason, the food is fantastic! To be fair, you don't come here for the atmosphere. There is seating, but the lounge is sparse. It doesn't seem to matter, judging by the people who were lined up for their orders. The generous portions of authentic Caribbean cuisine more than made up for it. We tried both the oxtail and the curried goat, neither disappointed and we had lots of leftovers to bring home with us. So, order ahead for pickup. It will definitely be worth your while!

We ordered in, and the food was absolutely incredible. The jerk chicken packed just the right amount of spice while maintaining delicious flavor. The plantain was great but could have used a touch more caramelization to reach perfection. The curry goat was tasty but could have been slightly more tender. The oxtail, however, was perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The rice and peas were outstanding. The patties were moist and flaky, just how they should be. I will definitely be ordering in again!

Hidden Gem for Caribbean Take-Out in Ottawa!

Ocho Rios Caribbean Eatery is a true hidden gem in Ottawa, perfect for anyone craving delicious, no-fuss Caribbean food. This spot is mostly take-out with limited dine-in space, but what they lack in seating, they make up for in quality and flavor. The wonderful “mama” who runs the place ensures that every dish meets high standards and serves up food with a touch of warmth and care.

The food is simple, comforting, and packed with flavor, reminiscent of a homemade meal. While it may not be the absolute best Caribbean food I’ve ever had, the quality and authenticity make it memorable and worth returning for. The real beauty of Ocho Rios is their focus on the essentials—great food and excellent service, with no need for fancy decor or extras.

For anyone who loves Caribbean flavors and appreciates a place that’s all about the food, Ocho Rios Caribbean Eatery is a must-try!
