Jamaican cuisine combines culinary techniques, flavors, spices, and influences from the island's indigenous peoples as well as the Spanish, British, Africans, Indians, and Chinese who have lived there…
just WOW! Absolutely incredible. Generous portion for the afforable price. Everything was cooked to perfection, my mouth started to water as soon as I opened the lid and smelled the Oxtail. This my first time ordering from Ocho Rios and it will not be the last! Better than I could have ever hoped for.

The best Jamaican restaurant in Ottawa! I absolutely love their oxtails, and I recently tried their beef patty for the first time. It was so delicious! I’ve been ordering from Ocho Rios for the past two years, and they never disappoint. The food is always flavourful and satisfying. Highly recommend!

Jerk Chicken & Oxtail -
The oxtail was very tender & tasty.
The jerk chicken was flavorsome & mildly spicy (2 pieces, 1 leg/drum & a thigh cut in half).
Rice & peas were cooked evenly.
The plantains were nice & sweet.
The steamed vegetables weren't overcooked.
I ordered a large portion, the meat servings could be more for the price.
Overall, I'd rate the order 4/5. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything was sooooo delicious!!! I am in Ottawa visiting and was nextdoor getting my hair done, so I ordered from them out of convenience and I'm sooooo glad that I did! Ocho Rios is my new go-to favourite spot for Jamaican food in Ottawa without a doubt. I'm hoping to even buy some to freeze and bring home to BC with me! Pineapple Ginger1. Jerk Chicken & Oxtail just PERFECT!!
