Where do I even start- been coming to bamboo fire for years, Donald and beverly have been actively feeding my jerk chicken addition and need to be held responsible! You can't go wrong with anything in the menu but I of course love the jerk chicken, curry goat, basa, and anything conch that they serve. Always pleasant service, fresh food, and relaxing ambiance, a delray much try. read more

We were here for the art festival and a nice woman handed us a menu, told us some of the menu and had me at "we have beer". I am a fan of a hole in the wall and this place fits the bill. There's some kind of secret meatball thing he does that's amazing. Ask for it! We had the curry lobster, oxtail, conch fritters and okra rice. My husband had to force me to try the oxtail and I wish I could have been mad but it was delicious. Service was great. Super friendly. Things rarely last around the Avenue, hoping this one does. A true locals spot. read more

Truly delicious. We decided to order take out because of covid.. the meal was so worth the money. We had salad, rice plantains and meat/veggies. Still have plenty of left over for tomorrow. I'd you're in the mood for some home cooked food, please try this place for dinner or lunch. You will be happy you did. read more

I was visiting from north Florida and I don't get authentic island food often. This was the best I've had by far. Before I leave to go home I will be back. The service was great also. Very welcoming atmosphere. Oxtails, Conch Fritters, Jerk Meatballs, Jerk Chicken and Sangria! read more

Just...WOW! Amazing food and amazing service! Living in Delray, I have seriously missed out on this amazing Caribbean food. Came for dinner with friends and didn't realize I would be having some of the best food of my life. For an appetizer we had some of the jerk meatballs, SO good!! I ordered the cracked conch and shared the chicken mac and cheese with a friend. The mac and cheese came with jerk chicken that was juicy and delicious! My cracked conch was absolutely amazing with capers and some lime. The woman who served us was so polite and fun to chat with and the owner also checked on us. Impeccable service and super friendly. Definitely coming here again! read more

Bamboo Fire Cafe - Cracked Conch Chicken Macaroni and Cheese - Caribbean Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Always excellent!. Just a wonderful restaurant with great food. Small restaurant but lots of island atmosphere.

We were overjoyed with our order from Bamboo Fire Cafe in Delray. Jerk chicken and oxtail stew were outstanding, and the conch fritters are a staple! And you can't go wrong trying the rum cake with ice cream. read more

This place is excellent! A great neighborhood treat that you love to have. The staff is really nice and the food is authentic and fresh. The waitress said the place was originally run by the owner and his wife but now they have about 3 people in the kitchen. Homemade recipes and a small, quaint space with about 5 tables. The jerk meatballs are yummy! I had the snapper wrapped in a banana leaf, with coconut milk...she had me at coconut milk! My fiancé had the jerk chicken and it as so tender and fell off the bone. Great place if you want a quiet, private spot for dinner. Keep up the good work! read more

I am ashamed that it took me so long to visit Bamboo Fire Cafe. After two attempted visits that by Murphy's law have always ended up being on a Monday when they are closed, I finally made it and I could kick myself for not going sooner. This place is an absolute gem. I am a huge fan of Caribbean cuisine. Having grown up with classic Jamaican food in the U.K. and visiting Bahamas, Barbados, and other islands, I feel I have a good grasp on yummy Caribbean grub. Firstly the daughter of the chef served us, she was pleasant and guided us through the specials. She lawyer brought us a meatball sampler and mango salad along with two cold Red Stripes. We selected the oxtail special and the curried chicken. She asked if we wanted the curry mild med or spicy (so if you need to tone it down you can), I opted for spicy, she then asked if that was American spicy or Jamaican spicy lol, I needed the Jamaican spicy thanks! So on the the food, it blew us away. So delicious, so fresh, bursting with flavor and delectable Caribbean spice. The oxtail was melt in your mouth fabulous and the curry was the perfect balance of spice, flavor and fall of the bone meat. Not to mention the quantity! There was plenty of food and we left beyond satiated. Sitting outside with the breeze, closing my eyes I could have been in the Caribbean again, drinking cold beer, eating great food and kicking back without a care in the world. I love this little hole in the wall and can't wait to visit again! read more

This spot is incredible. The food here, the welcoming atmosphere, the thoughtful service. As a vegetarian I've had such wonderful food here -- tofu curry, jerk tofu, garbanzo fritos, and eggplant dip are all so delicious. And the rice and plantains that come with the main course are so tasty as well. Get the roti on the side! Don't miss this place, it's a gem. read more

I read about this place on Yelp! and the reviews were so good my wife and I decided to try it. We were not disappointed! She ordered curry fish and I had oxtail pepper pot. Both were amazing!!! Since our first visit, we have returned four times. Tried cracked conch, oxtail stew, jerk platter, and their dal (bean soup). To say that everything was excellent would be an understatement. This has become hands-down our favorite restaurant in all of Florida! Every time we try something new on the menu it amazes us. They are consistently excellent, blending flavors in amazing ways. The folks who own the place arer from Guyana, so all of the dishes are Caribbean. read more

The food was wonderful! They put together a plate of jerk chicken and jerk pork, along with a side of rice and salad. There wasn't anything left to take home! They brought to the table a sample of the jerk meatballs. Gone too. Since they are closed Monday and Tuesday, I put in an order for jerk pork with rice and vegetables to go. Was not disappointed! I can't wait until they open on Wednesday! read more

This place has great Caribbean food the owner is super friendly looks after your needs. There is only one major problem... parking ...tough to find a place to park especially when it's only a few blocks from Atlantic avenue in Delray. It is definitely worth the trip and the hunt for a parking place.again,its worth a try. read more

I've been to much of the Caribbean especially Trinidad and Tobago, the food and atmosphere brought me right back! Love Love Love !

(300th Review!) 4.5 stars - Came out to Bamboo Fire at the recommendation of my boss. He told me this spot had the best Caribbean style food in all the land. Seeing as I've had varieties of home cooked island foods many a time in the past I figured I'd give it a shot. This place is small and cozy and has a very family centered atmosphere. They're only open Wednesday thru Sunday starting at 5; family owned, run and operated! We ordered a variety of menu items for our group. The Jerk Meatballs we're good but wasn't a fan of the texture. The plantain fries were also good, but just ok. The conch ceviche and the tostones with that butter garlic sauce were my fave. I like that the meals all came with a little house salad that had super fresh veggies and mango on top! Yum! The Chicken Curry dish reminded me of the Guyanese style not Jamaican. The curry sauce was bangin! I was most excited for the Oxtail Pepperpot since I haven't had good home cooked oxtail in the longest time. I'll admit, this dish came very close to the home cooked variety I've had before but missing something... maybe the rice and peas since they didn't come with the dish. The brown sauce was very very good though. The Monkfish special with the coconut sauce was ok - I'm very picky about my seafood and don't like fish to be breaded but I did like that this came with a ton of fresh veggies. My favorite dish we had (not pictured) was the Haitian Pork with the picklies(?) - some kind of super spicy slaw. I could have eaten the entire thing by myself. Absolutely delicious and would absolutely return again just for this dish! So much yum! The service was awesome even though it only seemed like there were two employees working and the food quality was very very good. Super serious itis after eating all this food! Highly recommend a stop in if you have a hankering for some good 'home cooked' Caribbean foods! read more

Where do you go when you're grinding for some Grub but truly wanna avoid the fuckery of delray that's Atlantic Ave? The side streets... they're peppered with little hidden gem places a few minutes walking distance off the beaten path. You may be new to the area, but I promise you there's places to chow down that aren't polluted with the 80's onsaulght coming from Jonnie Browns. Bamboo fire is easily my girlfriends favorite place to go to locally. She gets the same thing: roasted eggplant with garlic bread dip, and oxtail. This place is truly quaint and understates. Perfect amount of seating, aluminum siding lines the walls, littered with what look like treasures and trinkets collected throughout the years. As for the menu- huge Thank you- because it's 1 page, not back and front. No novella to read and find out what side comes next. If you're giving in to your "adventurous" wide even more, they have a daily specials menu writen above the bar. The eggplant dip is addictive, and lingering (make Out after, I dare you). You can't miss out on the oxtail or curry goat. Make sure to include roti and their okra fried rice. read more

Always fantastic food and service here. They accommodated us without reservations on a Friday night even! Homemade Sangria arrived fast and kept flowing for our whole meal! Conch fritters are the best I've had anywhere. The rest of the meal was absolutely delicious. Taking home lots of leftovers and looking forward to having them tomorrow. Great family run business just off the Ave. read more

Bamboo Fire Cafe - Shrimp Curry and the Jerk Platter - Caribbean Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

This Delray Beach restaurant with warm and welcoming Guyanese owners features spicy and fruity dishes that are representative of all of the countries of the Caribbean. There's patio dining if you want to eat al fresco -- the interior is downright cozy if not a bit tight and can be a bit warm. Chef Beverly is extremely talented and creative and while the main menu items featuring various comfort foods are real crowd pleasers (like those addictive jerk meatballs) be sure to see what specials are, and try all the different hot sauces. Beers from the Caribbean are served along with a curated wine list. Service is authentically tropical style which is to say that it is very relaxed, so don't be in a rush. read more

Delicious & affordable vegetarian options! Haven't been in person yet but my deliveries are always perfect..

Great food. Great people. I will return and continue to spread the word. The best Caribbean food.

Amazing !!!! I had dinner here last night and the food was delicious. I had curry chicken with roti and my husband had the jerk special that came with jerk chicken, jerk ribs and jerk pork. All of it was heavenly tasteful! I am Trinidad and my husband is Puerto Rican and we love it here! The food is full of flavor. We will definitely be back. read more

Wow! We've been wanting to try this place for a long time. Finally got there tonight. What took me so long? Small, family run Caribbean restaurant. This is the real deal. Excellent choices - food was so flavorful & fresh . We Started with tostones (fried plantains) which were excellent-- crisp, salty but not greasy. We also had eggplant dip on toast which was amazing! The eggplant was Smokey & delicious, the bread was thick cut & delicious. The kitchen also sent out some meatballs which were very good but a bit too salty. I ordered one of the specials - corvina (fish) with vegetables in a coconut milk broth wrapped in banana leaves. Wow was that good! The dinners are served with a small salad, rice & sweet plantaines. Everything was very good! Highly recommend this quaint little place. There is indoor & outdoor seating. read more

If you want real island food in Delray this is the place to eat! Do not come here if you are in a rush of any kind because Bamboo Fire is family owned and operated and they operate on island time which is usually slower than what people would expect. That is the only reason I have it at a 3 star rating. The food and service are great so it makes up for the time waited. It's perfect for a group of people so you can chat and not notice the time pass. I was invited here by a few yelp friends that come here all the time. We came on a cool Saturday evening and sat outside. The owners daughter was our server and she was a very sweet girl. The mother who is also the cook also came out later at the end of our meal. After chatting with her you really understand what a love she has for food and how much she enjoys what she does. It's evident in the food as well. The food is 5 stars hands down!! We had the conch ceviche appetizer which was awesome!! Huge portion as well. I had the jerk pork but I was able to try the curry goat and the lobster mac and cheese. Both were delicious and the pigeon pea rice made with coconut milk was seriously delicious!!!! Wrap it in the amazing homemade roti and you are in food heaven trust me!! read more

Bamboo Fire Cafe - Lobster Mac & Cheese - Caribbean Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Bamboo Fire is a small restaurant that serves Caribbean food. It is located in Delray Beach, off the beaten path, and hidden from the main thoroughfare of restaurants, in a section that is more residential than anything. It is quite a hidden gem. RUN to this place! Now! I just tried this place for the first time on Sunday and let me tell you, coming from South Beach, it is DEFINITELY worth the drive! Beverly and Donald hosted a special off the menu dinner for our table and we were all in awe. Not a single unhappy face! We started with a sample of meatballs, which were delicious. Next up, fried okra with remoulade sauce. I have had okra, usually with tomato sauce, sometimes fried, but always sliced. This was a nice change, I had no idea okra got to be so long and thick (that's what she said!) when left in its whole form. The breading was not too thick and the sauce was delicious. Bonus: try their homemade hot sauces, I loved their flaming hot sauce, it was not overwhelmingly hot but was good on everything. Next up, fried eggplant slices. I have no idea what they put in the eggplant, but the texture was creamy, rather than crisp. Wow! I must learn some cooking tips. Next up, pickles. I know what you're thinking "green cucumbers, what is so special about that?", but you would be wrong, because these are pickled fruits. Carambola, grapes, mango, peach, pineapple, and cucumber among other things. I know what else it is you're thinking: "sour and sweet? That's an odd combination, it must not be appetizing", but you'd be so wrong. It is that very combination that makes this exotic, and the small chili peppers gave it a nice kick of hotness. I think my favorite fruit was the mango, although the carambola was also delicious. The next item was the stuffed mussels, which were stuffed with rice. Unfortunately, Beverly said this took a long time to prepare, so she won't be doing it again, but I am glad I got to taste this rarity. The next course was tostones with egg and duck bacon. I had never tried duck bacon, or duck, for that matter. The combination of the soft, gooey egg and the hard tostones was a great contrast, along with the flavorful, tender, smoky duck bacon. I think this was one of my favorite items, along with skirt steak, the next item. Along with the skirt steak, we got a large serving dish of rice, which had some lentils in it and accompanied the skirt steak very well. If you've had lomo saltado, you will probably think this is reminiscent of it. Skirt steak is a bit tricky, some places make it rather hard and chewy, but this was just right. The plantain fries were nice and crispy and the onion and sauteed peppers gave the meat a delicious flavor. The last item from the main course menu was a jerk chicken with mofongo. The mofongo had pieces of pork, which added flavor, and the jerk chicken was tender and delicious. All of the food was so good that none of it went to waste. Beverly brought us a special chopped scotch bonnet sauce, which I poured liberally onto the chicken. Dessert was a very tender, flavorful bread pudding, containing raisins, rum on the bottom, and fluffy whipped cream, which added a bit of sweetness to it. Throughout the meal, we enjoyed Beverly and Donald's hospitality, and got to meet their daughter, who looks a lot like Zoe Kravitz. They were very accommodating and constantly asking for our opinions and input. They are very sweet people who make sure you lack nothing. They have live music on certain days, and most of the time they set up outside, in the outdoor seating area. If you're interested, you should probably call ahead of time to find out the days and times they play. They are open on certain Sundays, as there were other people eating at the restaurant while we were all there for our event. We did not get to hear the live band, but we enjoyed the sounds of reggae, which added to the beachy, relaxed atmosphere and Caribbean meal. I cannot wait to go back and enjoy this slice of heaven. read more

A real hardcore locals' hole in Delray Beach. Located next to (and somewhat obscured by) Salotto, this is the type of place one would neither find, nor think to try, if not for the Yelp smartphone app. The owners seemed to recognize all their patrons, except for us, who apparently stood out like a sore thumb for not being regulars. Sadly, they were out of the famed Calypso lemonade, so we went with a ginger beer. The brand they offer carries plenty of ginger flavor, but unfortunately is cloyingly sweet. I'd prefer they serve another brand, like Reed's or Barritt's. Go with the grilled conch app for starters, it's a winner. Just have some breath mints on hand for after the meal, because this nicely-charred conch is swimming in a potent garlic sauce with a long aftertaste - you'll be tasting this stuff all night. Shrimp mac and cheese had to be one of the better "(insert seafood addition here) mac and cheese" plates I've had. Rich, but not quite so gooey as some other M&C plates I've seen. I like my macaroni (well in this case they were tortellini) a little firmer, even browned, and this had a bit of that aspect. The "mac" was adorned with several large shrimp. We went with the seafood special, which in this case happened to be curried crab. The curry sauce in which the crab is served is great, pungent and a bit spicy, but I have to admit, I wish some of the other specials had been on instead, because the crab was a total pain in the butt to eat. Call me lazy, but I usually don't order crab for precisely this reason, unless it's at a place like Tudor House on South Beach where they do all the dirty work for you and present it on your plate ready to eat. Even if I was good at cracking crab legs and claws, it still would have been a major mess, but making matters worse, I happen to really suck at extracting meat from crab shells. Never have been good at it, and I doubt I ever will be. The special plates come with plantains and rice, and an excellent "tropical" salad liberally sprinkled with mango pieces and a tangy citrus dressing. Fairly large portion on this for a side salad, very cool. For dessert, I hear the rum cake is ridiculous, but my appetite was already wiped. If you find yourself in Delray, might want to skip the gaudy Atlantic Ave., and get back in the neighborhood a little, because you might find places like this. read more

Bamboo Fire Cafe - Curried crab special - Caribbean Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

I visited Bamboo Fire last year with some fellow Yelpers, but I forgot to review them until I saw Jenn's review. Whoops! Well, better late than never. Everyone placed their own orders, but we were all more than happy to share so everyone could try the different dishes. I ordered the jerk meatballs and the small plain mac and cheese, and we all had a huge salad to split. When everyone's first courses came out, my meatballs were missing. I gave it a few minutes, since it's a small place and thought that perhaps they took more time to prepare. By the time I could get the gentleman's attention, pretty much everyone was done with their appetizers. I told him about my missing meatballs, and he apologized. I got them right after the salad (which was delicious - I forget the dressing they used but I loved it). The meatballs were tasty and different, and that's exactly why I ordered them. I encouraged others at the table to eat some, otherwise I really was going to get full on them. Pretty much every person at our table ordered some form of the mac and cheese. They brought out everyone's dishes... but again, mine was missing. Now I was just starting to feel like I was invisible. This time, I pointed out right away how mine was missing, and by the time it came out, everyone else was just about finished eating. My mac and cheese wasn't very cheesy, especially compared to the others at the table. I'm guessing because it was a rush preparation since they forgot about it, I didn't get as much cheese in mine. I was the only one who left here not raving about the place. If they had remembered at least one of the two things I'd ordered, I would've probably given them four stars, but because I truly felt forgotten, I have to leave it at three. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, and our server (who I believe is one of the owners) was for the most part friendly... but I truly felt invisible at our table of 7 or 8 people. read more

Had a voucher to go, decided to try this out for my birthday with my husband... we arrived just the minute a party of maybe 15 people were leaving. We requested for a table inside because the mosquitos were really bad as it was very humid that afternoon. The hostess was taking forever as they were still cleaning up inside, so we were like ok well they have some kind of candles outside that may help repel the mosquitos, let's have a table outside. We sat down and waited for a good 10 minutes without having the server come. The candles didn't do a thing to the mosquitos as we were getting eaten up! So we went back inside as they should already have cleaned up by then. The hostess saw us and said it'd be a minute. The men, who I assume are owners of the cafe, seemed not to care about us at all. Basically, all of the workers were running around like chickens with their heads cut off-- seemed like they couldn't handle serving 2 more people after having served a birthday party of 10+ people prior our arrival. It was like they didn't want us there. No service for over 20 minutes... we decided to leave to go next door, Beer Trade Company, for an ice cold beer. It was actually much more refreshing as Bamboo Cafe is very very very small and cramped with really weird decoration from the dollar store. Not even bothering to try this place again. No thank you. read more

I can't speak for all the food here but the jerk pork and jerk chicken were not good. They were both very dry and lacked flavor, which is crazy for jerk food considering it's usually packed with flavor. I'm a huge fan of jerk food and usually seek it out wherever I travel and I have to say this was some of the worst I've ever had. We went on a Wednesday and the restaurant was completely dead so maybe that could have had something to do with it. I had a bite of someone's oxtail that was pretty good. The best thing by far were the plantains. The service was ok. Our server didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Overall a really disappointing experience. read more

Another off the beat and path restaurant. We tried Bamboo Fire for the first time. There are 5-8 tables and you feel like you are being served by family. I don't recall having Carribean food before so I have nothing to compare. The meatball appetizer consisted of 8 tiny meatballs in a spicy nondescript sauce. Then we had fried little pancakes that tasted like potatoes and wax. The Grouper in foil wasn't bad although I'm not a grouper fan. The Rum cake was really good. It was topped with a dab of ice cream and smothered in whipped cream. The staff was so nice... They are 4 Stars. The food... Maybe I'm just not a fan. I would try again. read more

THANK YOU YELP! Without you, I would've never come across this hidden gem! I was visiting Delray and searched restaurants by star rating. This one came up with good reviews and I am so glad I chose this one to dine at. Wow. I am officially a fan of Guyanese food! What we ordered: Jerk chicken, curry shrimp, rice, and plantains. The jerk chicken was amazing and not overly spicy. The curry shrimp was also great. The rice was one of the best things of the entire meal! It had like a hint of cinnamon, nutty flavors. OMG. Mouthgasm. The plantains were kind of the dud of the meal but who cares when the rest of the food was that good! The service was excellent. These people really cater to their customers' needs which I loved. It felt like you were in their home rather than at a restaurant. I also LOVED the free shot of liquor at the end.... Why not? Haha, cheers. It is a bit pricey but the food is good so I didn't mind paying for what I got. Thanks for a great meal, Bamboo. If I'm ever in the area again I will make 100% sure to return. read more

I thought this place was mediocre, at best. Honestly, given the reviews, I thought it was going to be out of this world. Service was painfully slow. Food was OK. Had the oxtail which was alright. I would say the best thing I ate was the four little meatballs they brought out to our table. Those were yummy. But the oxtail left a lot to be desired. My buddy had the jerk pork and said it lacked flavor. Maybe it was an off night? Probably wouldn't give it a try again. read more

My husband and I were so glad to find this place! One of the BEST Caribbean foods we have ever had. MUST GO! We went there on a Monday around 4pm, so no people at all. They have indoor and outdoor seating, not a big place, but cozy. Deco is authentic, even the service. Our server was friendly and helpful, owner was also there to answer all kinds of questions we had. They make sure if we were there the first time and gave us recommendations. I wanted fish, so I got Grouper steamed with coconut sauce ( Fish is fresh and different everyday ), my husband ordered the Jerk Chicken. Our waitress noticed us keep discussing if we should get the meatball, so she brought a few for us to try, HAND-DOWN * Every Entree comes with house salad and Okra Fried Rice with Plantains * House Salad, fresh veggies with Mango touch, LOVE IT * Jerk Meatball, soft in texture, melt in your mouth and seasoning well, love to spice up a bit, but A WINNER * Grouper steamed with coconut sauce in banana leaf, make it fresh, it's still steam-hot when it came out. Love everything inside, peppers, cauliflower, slice pumpkin, okra, spring onion. Just the grouper was overcook for me, personally love soft and tender texture in fish as an Asian, nothing wrong for a restaurant in America. * Jerk Chicken, good portion for an entree. Meat fell apart easily as a result of long period of slow-cook, taste's well-balance. We were so happy to have this. MUST TRY! You can ask for more jerk sauce if you want to spice it up. * Okra Fried Rice with Plantains. OMG MUST TRY. My husband never like okra, but he flighted with me for this rice. Seasoning well and the plantains were to die for. Crispy outside and soft inside! Normally when I have plantains, it gets soft when it reaches the table, but not this one and this's still HOT. I wish I could have more rice, but I was too full. * BUT we still ordered Rum Cake with Ice Cream to go, our server was able to box it up with care. And it tasted Amazing! Well balance between the rum and the sweetness of the cake! For conclude, from deco to service, from service to food, it's A WINNER. If you want Caribbean food, GO HERE! read more

If you want to steer clear from the fufu steakhouses, prime burger joints, and non-authentic ethnic cuisine on Atlantic Ave and take an island getaway to the Caribbean, Bamboo Fire Cafe will offer you a true escape. Located off a quiet street in Pineapple Grove, this is THE hidden gem in Delray Beach whether you're looking to spice up and diversify your palette or simply in need of a home-cooked meal. BFC is owned and family-run by a husband and wife. You will likely experience frequent smiles and loads of Caribbean hospitality from the two. Prepare to relax because you'll be on island time while you listen to reggae and r&b classics playing in the background. I love all the island decor -- makes you feel like you're literally sitting in a hut made of bamboo. Onto the AMAZING food.. Order the curry meatballs as an appetizer (if you aren't handed a couple to try as complimentary). The spicy jerk chicken was super moist, spicy and flavorful. This was also enhanced by extra dips of their very own bottled "killer" hot sauce. The pork roti took up the entire plate. The mound of thinly-sliced pork was wrapped loosely into the warm, thin, and fresh roti and bound by a toothpick. Okra fried rice, braised cabbage, and sweet plantains (maduros) were served separately family-style to accompany both dishes. All of these side dishes were simple, warm, and comforting. The SO and I sat at our table quietly eating with satisfied smiles on our faces until we inhaled every last bite. I also can't forget to mention the Calypso lemonade made fresh and in-house -- sweetened just right, citrusy but not sour, and completely refreshing. When I Yelped this place, there were NO pictures of the food, only of the place and some random pictures of people (which I personally hate). No one wants to see your personal pictures, OK? Post that crap on your own Yelp profile or FB, not on the business' profile. So with that said, I felt it was my Elite duty to take some actual pictures of the food which are bound to be much more helpful to other Yelpers out there. read more

Fantastic. The meats were incredibly cooked and seasoned. The sauces were flavorful! The conch was perfect, chewy, and at the same time tender. Shrimp was very tasty. Rice was a variety of ingredients and, again, tasty. Wow overall on the food!! Beers were relatively cheap ($3 for domestic, $5 for international). Minuses (these were minor and would not take away from me coming back): meatballs weren't as good or as large as I expected. The service was ... Odd. It's a family-owned restaurant, so they all were related, but the daughter serving us was odd. Overall those were the only two minuses, but the pluses FAR overweigh the minuses. You MUST go here!! read more

Very high four and a half stars. The best meal I have had in months. The best food to be found in Delray & a world away from the monotony of the restaurant scene on Atlantic, where mediocrity is the norm. Food is unbelievable make sure and see which of the fish is local and order that. Must order is the grilled conch appetizer. Some great spice to be had but they also have dishes suitable to to the spice averse. Hopefully you get a chance to talk to the chef as she is one cool lady and you will be eager to thank her. Tiny minuscule spot with a great outdoor area located on a quiet side street in the pineapple grove section just a few blocks away from Atlantic. The service is a bit slapdash and erratic but in the best way possible and so sweet you easily forgive all shortcomings. They seem to run out of many of the dishes early including some of the ones that I was most interested in including the rotis and the oxtail. Just think of dinner here as an adventure and soak it all up. read more
