Unique, awesome food. We were there for a special wine pairing event. Worth the price. Chef came out to greet us all and explain courses. Lots of fun.

The server was so warm and friendly. She gave us great recommendations and the food was PHENOMENAL. Try the cabbage Caesar, ox tail, goat curry, brussel sprouts and the cornbread (and maybe get more cornbread for dessert!).

This restaurant is our new go to for brunch! The ambiance and service was excellent. Everything we ordered was delicious and very flavorful. All 3 of us agreed that the blue grits are the best grits we have ever had! The Channa omelette and Collard Green Benedict were delicious! The Puff Puffs were to die for! We can’t wait to return for lunch and dinner!

Okan has great appetizers and their bartenders really know their stuff!!

My authentic rum punch was solid as compared to what I get when I'm in Haiti.

The chef and staff are really friendly and it's a comfortable, clean, family environment.

What a disappointment- we made New Year’s Eve reservations on “Open Table” standard table & preferred a romantic table for 2 not bar or outside & anticipated a lovely meal!

We dressed, we drove, we parked & were told the best she could do was seat us at the bar. I explained we had reservations but she didn’t care & needed the space for bigger parties.

We left and tried hoping maybe someone could squeeze us in but of course everyone was booked. We thought we would end up having to get take out somewhere but then Truffles said they would help us & it was a wonderful experience & able to salvage New Year’s Eve dinner.

It’s not wise to mistreat customers who live in Sun City & active in the community - reviews & experiences travel quickly. We won’t be going back.

This was genuinely one of the best meals that I have ever had. After eating here, it’s hard to think about spending money at other restaurants when we have this gem so close by. I would like to work my way through every item on the menu, because I have yet to have something that did not expand my mind.

That is the type of experience this is—you will taste things you have never imagined before.

It started for our group with the suya skewers—tender skewers of beef cheek with mango that were juicy, tangy, and delicious.

From there we all decided to share our entrées, for which we had the curry goat, lamb ribs, oxtail, and hanger steak.

Every component of each dish had a story to tell. I found myself voraciously chowing down on the greens that came with my oxtail, along with the mushrooms and rice, which somehow rivaled the meat itself for flavor.

The outstanding dish was the curry goat, which was a warm embrace of coconut, peas, and tender meat. We enjoyed it all so much that we forgot to take pictures!

For desert, we all split the chocolate coffee cake, basque cheesecake, and pineapple tart.

My personal favorite was the cheesecake, which did not taste like anything I have had before. I struggle to describe it, but my mind’s eye sees caramel, apple, guava, and cream.

My brother said it best—every dish on the menu would be the award-winning special at another restaurant.

Okan should be at the top of your list for Bluffton restaurants, whether you are a tourist or a local.

Excellent service and food. Went on a quiet day (day after Christmas) with family and everyone enjoyed their meals. The drinks were on the expensive side but were very tasty and the food was amazing.

Our meal was fantastic, and we enjoyed the creative blend of flavors. Our server was friendly and helpful, even if service seemed a little slow. I would have rated service 5 stars except that our meals came out on the cool side. Normally I might have asked for it to be reheated but we had waited a bit and wanted to eat. All of that being said. We had a wonderful time and we will definitely go back.

So happy we came here for dinner. I found this through my IG, it came up as an add and I am glad it did. The place is right in old town bluffton, beautiful location on the corner with a lovely patio seating area and a nicely decorated interior. Our server was friendly attentive, warm and informative. We started with a couple of their signature cocktails, the Princess Kikou and the smoked jellywater, both were completely unique and wonderful. The food was truly exceptional. We got the Bacalao fritters with berbere aioli to start, these were so good, im going to figure out how to make them at home. For dinner we we got the jerk oxtails and lamb ribs with a side of Caribbean callaloo, and i cant tell you just how much we enjoyed these. I would order all of these again and recommend anyone try them. We finished the meal with the pineapple tart, it was too sweet for my taste, but the flavors were still on point and presentation was exquisite. All around, a 10/10 experience. We will be back, with friends, family and recommend this truly incredible spot to everyone visiting the Savannah/Bluffton/Hilton head area. Well done!
