I've been coming here since the 90s. This family owned restaurant is so good. I got the oxtails with plantains and rice and peas and a beef patty. They give a great serving size where you have leftovers for a great price. The oxtails had so much meat on them. I love how the employees also still remember me from over the years. They're great! read more

Afrodish Restaurant - Curry Chicken white rice mac&cheese cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I wanted to give 3 1/2 stars but I guess I'm not able to do that. It would have been four stars except that the mac & cheese and cabbage had little to no seasoning at all and you could tell really just by looking at it. The preparation of it was good, in that the noodles weren't mushy and the cabbage was not overcooked, however, the flavor was lacking. Oxtails were good, Black Eyed Peas were good, white rice, Stewed goat, and spinach were all good, very flavorful, and had just the right spice profile. My three star rating is because I found a rather long black hair with the root still attached in my stewed goat. So disappointing in what would have otherwise been a decent meal! Not very sure if I'll be back. read more

I knew my daughter was at the Curb Market so I asked her to bring me something to eat. She decided to stop at this place and pick me up some oxtails. The platter was oxtails rice and peas and cabbage. Although I've had a lot of oxtail planters in Atlanta this one was different. The taste of the oxtails, the gravy, the peas and the cabbage were totally on point. The oxtails were tender but not overcooked. The flavor was very good. I have to say the rice and peas were completely cooked but not mushy. Many times when you get these platters either the rice is crunchy or the peas are crunchy. The only thing I would have wanted is more gravy. They definitely had a good flavor. Finally someone knows how to cook cabbage. Either is too much or has no flavor in other places. This place cooked it just right. I don't know how much the planter calls exactly but I think my daughter said around $13. This price is kind of unheard of right now in Atlanta. Inflation has got the best of the food in the street and we as patrons understand but it's always nice to see a business kind of work with their customers. I would definitely return to get more and to try something different. Give this business a shot whenever you at the Curb Market. read more

Escovich fish was awful. It was a large piece of unseasoned fried croaker. The person serving the dish had the nerve to ask if I wanted the onions and peppers. He could have packed the fish and its topping separately instead of pouring it all over my rice, cabbage and plantains. None of it was on the fish. The jerk chicken was fair. I would give this establishment a 2 1/2 star rating! read more

This place surprised me, food was soooo good! For sure give them a try. Man in front was also pleasant. Thank you !

Great restaurant with decent portions. I'd love to see a bigger menu variety of beef options, nor just chicken and goat. The goat meals were good though, including the curry goat and stewed goat which was a bit spicy. No mild beef patties available, only spicy but my daughter enjoyed it anyway. Will return when I'm in the Auburm Ave area. read more

First time visiting Atlanta and decided to stop into the Sweet Auburn Market (who can resist a name like that? ). Afrodish seemed most popular so I figured I was good and it did not disappoint. The guy in front of me went on about their plantains so I decided to try even though that would not normally be my choice for a side. the plantains dipped into the oxtail gravy was heavenly. read more

This resturant is in a Marketplace and is one of many other businesses, such as candy stores, butchers, other resturants etc. Although there are tables in various places in the building, I took mines to go. My survey said.... It was great, and this olace will be on my list the next time I'm in the ATL. read more

The best jerk chicken and rice you're going to find! I started coming here when I was a freshman in college and have continued to come well after graduation (years). The food is consistent and the customer service is also great!! read more

Afrodish sits at one of the corners in the Municipal Market near the food court and seating area. I ordered the Oxtail + 1 Side and picked the jollof rice ($12) and added a beef patty ($2). The oxtail was super tender .. pretty much melted in your mouth once you got it off the bone. It was seasoned very well and not too oily, which I loved. The jollof rice was also great - I could've scarfed it down alone. These two paired super well together to make a super flavorful meal. The beef patty was ... just amazing. Very unassuming from the outside (looks kind of like a wider empanada) but the beef filling was very flavorful, not very greasy, and just easy to eat. A fantastic side or snack to take on the road and only $2! The man serving us was super nice and gave pretty decently sized portions - I was definitely full. Overall, super tasty Caribbean food that was pretty authentic from what I could tell. Pretty good prices (check out their combos) and just amazing flavors I think anyone would love. Highly recommend Afrodish if you ever drop by Municipal Market! read more

This place was a gem! We were looking for Caribbean fare, and decided to try our luck as tourists at the Municipal Marketplace. We stumbled across this restaurant and EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS AMAZING!!! curry chicken, jerk chicken, oxtails, beef & chicken patties, plantain, cabbage, Mac & cheese, spinach!!!!! DELICIOUS! The food was HOT HOT, and the service was wonderful. Chris made recommendations when we were insure of what to try, and he did not steer us wrong! We will definitely be back!!! read more

So happy I found this gem at the Sweet Auburn market. This will appeal to any West Indian and African inspired dishes you may be craving. For just $8 each meal come with a protein, choice of rice(jollof, white or stir fried) and two sides. They are also generous with their portions. This is definitely enough food for two or your next meal of the day! I ordered the jerk chicken, dark meat, with jollof rice, plantains, and black eyed peas. Everything was perfect! The jerk was well seasoned and fell off the bone. The plantains were ripe and sweet and perfect with the beans(like red red). Proprietor was lovely. read more

I eat here quite often, I first tried it last year around November, it is so good, if you're a student at GSU or if you live around the area I beg you to check it out. The food is fantastic, they serve it to you nice and hot, everything is fresh. The service is good as well, very nice people behind the counter. And the vibes in the market are really nice. Please check it out if you're in the area! read more

Quick, yummy, and hearty! I stopped by Municipal Market (where this place is located) while going apartment hunting and my friends and I walked around before deciding on Afrodish. The portions looked filling (they were!) and prices seemed reasonable (very much so!). I also saw on their site that the owners are a couple who immigrated from Ghana which I thought was a great sign for the authenticity of this Afro-Caribbean cuisine. Here's a rundown on what we got: 1. Patty - I forgot what filling was in it (maybe curry?), but it tasted fresh and packed with flavor! It was only a couple of dollars too, which made for a great side/app. 2. Dark Jerk Chicken - delicious and spiced! The meat was tender and portion was large. My friend got this with rice and beans, which was also delicious and filling. 3. White Curry Chicken - HUGE chicken pieces with a creamy sauce that they poured on my friend's Cajun rice. The Cajun rice was a little spicy. 4. Escovitch Fish - this fish was made to order (took 10 minutes) and I got it because I've never tried fish cooked this way. I liked it! They give you the entire fish, bones and all, topped with peppers. I thought the skin could have been crispier but overall it tasted fine and really challenged my bone-picking skills (haha!). I don't think I would get it again just because every time I thought I got all the bones, I would feel another one in my mouth which made it a small hassle to eat, but I think it was definitely worth it for the price (~$10 for the fish combo). 5. All of us got the same sides: Mac n cheese and plantains. I thought the mac n cheese was a little too salty for my taste (to the point where I had to eat it with my rice), but the plantains were phenomenally oily and chewy on the inside (while being a little crispy on the outside). I absolutely love plantains. The other sides were spinach, mixed vegetables, beans, and the like. Overall, I thought this was a great stop at the Municipal Market/downtown area and had filling portions for the price. Definitely recommended if you're looking for Jamaican food! read more

I love this place. I have ordered food here from the past. This was my first time ordering the goat curry meal. The sides of plantains and jolof rice were great as always. Decreasing my rating from 5 to 4 only because I feel the goat was very less had more bones than meat. The curry was great but got completely absorbed by the rice. They should consider keeping it separate. Still a great place for their jerk chicken! Parking is easy and they validate it in the main entrance. read more

Afrodish Restaurant - Oxtail Dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This was one of the best meals I've eaten in a long time. I ordered the jerk chicken (white meat) over beans in rice with a side of baked beans, and plantains. The chicken was deliciously spicy and just fell off the bone so easily. The sauce it was in was a delicious gravy for the rice below. I'm not a huge fan of beans but these I really enjoyed. The plantains were good too. I walked all around this market trying to decide where to have lunch and asked the security guard recommended this particular vendor and I am so glad I ate here. It's a lot of food and under $10. read more

Afrodish is my go-to spot in Sweet Auburn Market. I am often in a time crunch for lunch, so I appreciate the quick service and relatively short line here relative to other market options. The portions offered are hearty, and the price ($8-12 for a good amount of meat, rice, and two sides) is fair given the quantity of food. Most importantly, the food tastes fresh delicious despite the buffet line setup. I always get the spicy goat which yields an ample portion of meltingly tender meat swimming in a thick, piquant gravy. The almost creamy rice and peas pair better with this dish than the more flavorful but somewhat salty seasoned rice. In regards to side dishes, you cannot go wrong with the well-seasoned spinach, perfectly sweet plantains, or the creamy black eyed peas. While not as popular as some of the other stalls, Afrodish won't disappoint if you're a fan of spicy food or pan African cuisine. read more

Afrodish Restaurant - Rice and peas, spinach, cabbage, plantains and veggie pie - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I visited the restaurant during lunch time. I think the person taking my order was used to repeat customers because she didn't take much time to explain how ordering works. Aside from that, the curry goat and beans with rice was good. The curry goat has lots of bones. The vegetable medley had too many fiberous, inedible stalks in it. The plantains were good too. They were deep fried. I washed it down with a ginger beer. read more

For years I have been looking for a place to get good African food... I haven't had much luck on the west coast which is where I live. I had a quick trip to Atlanta planned and the first thing I did was look up spots on yelp. I'm so glad I tried this place. The food was so good. I got jerk chicken dark meat, spicy rice and double black eye peas... The meat fell off the bones it was so tender, everything was so flavorful, not too salty. I wish I could've brought some back home with me. I'll always eat here whenever I'm in town. read more

Afrodish Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Definitely one of the more interesting selections that are a part of the Sweet Auburn Curb Market's mini food court. You can get jerk chicken, curry chicken, meat patties and more, but since I was in a veggie mood, I went with a side item plate. I may be biased since what I got were some of my favorite foods (plantains, beans & rice and black eyed peas, spicy) but it made for a supertasty lunch. Another intriguing aspect is the huge "SLUSH YOURSELF" sign above a couple flavored slush selections. Sadly, I noticed only after ordering a quite boring Diet Coke, but I shall slush myself next trip! read more

Afrodish Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place offers several Afro Caribbean dishes, but I can only vouch for the jerk chicken, which is super tasty and full of spice! Its the best jerk chicken, I've tasted in Atlanta so far. The jerk chicken is served with your choice of either a breast/wing and thigh/leg. I opted for the white meat, which was very moist and fell right off the bone. For my sides, I got the rice and beans with the jerk gravy on top and the cabbage. The rice was good; however, the cabbage was pretty standard. It didn't have a lot of seasoning so it primarily tasted like boiled cabbage, but I love veggies so it was cool with me. The price and amount of food is very reasonable. I think the dish was somewhere between $7-9. The hours are pretty limited but if you are ever in the Edgewood area, definitely make sure you check this place out. Its located inside of the Auburn market. read more

I was visiting a friend doing his residency at Grady and he brought us to the Sweet Auburn Curb Market for lunch. There is a nice selection of places to choose from but AfroDish caught my eye. I went the jerk route and while many restaurants bland down their spices to appeal to a broader audience, AfroDish certainly did not! The jerk and spinach had a nice spicy kick to it and had me reaching for an extra glass of water which is just the way I like it. The portion was filling and priced under $10. The staff was friendly and helpful and more than willing to explain each and every dish they had to offer. Inexpensive, tasty, filling, and quick, that's as good as it gets!!! read more

I was really, really looking forward to this place as it reminded me of Kelly's Jamaican Food in Athens, GA. I ordered the jerk chicken entree, with white meat ($.50 extra charge). While the jerk chicken was moist, the flavor lacked in caribbean spicy-ness and that zing you get when eating traditional jerk chicken. Meh. For the side items, I ordered the rice/beans, spinach, and veggies. The spinach wasn't my cup of tea (as another reviewer said---it was definitely canned and had that funky canned taste to it). The rice/beans were probably my favorite...the veggies tasted like, well, veggies coated with a little too much grease. For $7, the portions really are HUGE. I got two meals out of it, so pricing wise it was excellent. I might venture back for their curry chicken and other side items, but not so much for their jerk chicken or spinach. read more

Pretty good meat dish. I got the curry chicken with steamed veggies and steamed cabbage. The other sides were too oily for me. The chicken was pretty good and cooked well. You get a meat and 2 sides for $9 something I believe. The portions was good as well as the price. The men who own it are Ghanaians who are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend a try. read more

This place is located inside the Auburn Market. I came here for lunch and got the oxtails with spinach and cabbage. I thought the food was just okay. The prices are reasonable, the oxtail plate was only $11.39, normally oxtails are round $16-20. The portion size was good as well. The oxtails weren't bad but they weren't great either. I've had way better oxtails before. The spinach and cabbage was pretty good. I think If I do decide to go back I'll probably try something else. read more

Yassss. First off, this market place is super cute - awesome spot for unique finds and delish foods. I didn't even order here but my bf did - he got an oxtail, spinach and plantain platter that 8 mooched off of. Lets talk about this spinach, it was.so friggin good i wanted to order it separately (but they wouldn't let me. Womp) - idk what they put in there to make it so magical! I think they definitely use palm oil (bc that makes everything better) but thay's as far as I got. I would commit crimes to get them to open up a spot by me. The oxtail and plantains were very, very good. But that spinach is exceptional. Best part - the platter is like $9 and its super filling. Sigh. Best. Day. Ever. read more

I get all this food for how much? I think I paid around $7 for: Jerk chicken- oooo spicy goodness fall of the bone!! it was delicious!!! Plantains- These made me rekindle my love for the once despised faux banana, they had just the right amount of sweet. Rice and beans- Standard fare... Spinach- hmm... this is where the disappointment sets in, it clearly had that "can taste" to it, which I couldn't get past. All in all I would definitely stop back again if in the area. (They are located in the Sweet Auburn Curb Market) read more

I stopped by for a quick weekday lunch. Afrodish is as the name implies, African food. Food here is served cafeteria style with a meat plus 2 set up. I had the jerk chicken + plaintains+ spinach with the seasoned rice. The jerk chicken was amazingly spicy and paired well with the seasoned rice. My whole meal came out to about $9.75. Next time I'll definitely have to get the oxtail. read more
