Di Reggae Cafe

Tough to rate, as there is such little good Caribbean food in the GVA. Flavours were great but hardly any pepper heat to it. Asked for extra hot sauce but got none. Meat portions are VERY small for the price. But, the best flavour out of all the places I have tried so far in the lower mainland

Ordered the jerk chicken, with a side of plantains. The chicken was super tasty and pretty much fell of the bone. The rice was well seasoned, and we were given a generous amount. The plantains were sweet and easy to bite into. Highly recommend this place!!

As a Jamaican, I'd been craving that good "Curry Goat" (as it's rightfully called in the Caribbean), so I knew I was in the right place if I didn't see it listed as "Goat Curry". So without further ado, here's my review.???

PRO:
This is as close to Jamaican cooking I could find so far. The food was served steaming HOT as expected and fresh from the pot. The Curry Goat was served with white rice covered in curry gravy, a small side of potato salad with a small slice of corn bread.

It's a nice little café playing Caribbean music as we usually would if it were back home in Jamaica on the beach or what we called a "corner shop" (cook shop where you'd buy cooked meals).

CON:
The serving proportions of the meat was way too little and disappointing for me in comparison to that high price of $12-18 (dependent on the size you bought). I got mostly bone than meat, but I'll hand it to them for how delicious and warming it was having that on a rainy Saturday.

Also, don't assume that the meal comes with a drink, so be sure to have a nice cool Jamaican D&G bottled soda (personal recommendation) to wash it down with.

Overall good service and great cooking, but I'd look elsewhere for a better deal for this kinda meal.

On to the next one! ??

The food and service were great. Ms. Chin got everyone's order right. We had a group of 7.

I had the oxtail curry and it was full of flavour and the oxtail was tender. The only downside was that the temperature of the food was not hot and just warmed up. It comes with a really yummy macaroni salad, rice with sauce, and cornbread. The cornbread is nice and moist and flavorful.

I also tried the rum cake. It was OK, but not something I would order again.

Also, this restaurant closes at 7:00 pm on weeknights and Google won't update their hours. Refer to their website for their current hours.

Delicious food and atmosphere! Everything we ordered, we loved. It was a bit difficult to navigate to the side one-way street the restaurant is on, but there is parking out front. It looks like they sometimes have live music, which would be nice. We went late on a Wednesday night, but we were still able to order a full meal. Would eat here again.
