My brother-in-law introduced me to Irie Mon, and honestly, I didn't even know this place existed. As a Jamaican, I can confidently say this spot is a hidden gem! I tried the fried chicken with rice and peas topped with oxtail gravy, and the portion size was very generous. The flavors were solid and gave me that comforting taste I look for in Jamaican food. I also couldn't leave without grabbing a bottle of sorrel. After tasting it in the car, I immediately wished I had bought more than one! The only challenge is the location -- it's a bit hidden. A flag sign on the outer side of the parking deck could help bring more visibility and make it easier for first-time visitors to find. Overall, Irie Mon is a hidden gem worth checking out. The food is solid, the portions are great, and I'll definitely be back! read more

After a nearby event I stopped by Irie Mon Cafe with my niece to grab a bite to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe is pretty small but they do have 2-3 tables inside if you want to sit and enjoy your meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm a music person, and I didn't hear any Caribbean music playing. So that was new...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My niece and I ordered the brown stew chicken, which came with rice and peas and plantains. It was pretty flavorful. I guess with prices skyrocketing, it's the new norm to pay $21 for brown stew chicken?! That's pretty high to me... especially since I didn't get any cabbage and the chicken pieces we received were all chicken backs... . Not even a leg . Overall the service was ok. Like I said, we just finished an event so the line was pretty long. I probably wouldn't return because I don't feel like the price was worth it. read more

Irie Mon Cafe - Brown Stew Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This venue is small and in a building office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You have to pay for parking but they can validate your ticket. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place doubles as the kitchen for a small lounge across the hallway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Brown Stew Chicken, Chicken Pattie, cabbage, and plantains. It took them about 5 minutes to make my meal even since it is cafeteria style. I came early at night so the lounge next door was not busy. The Chicken Pattie was decent but needed sauce. The cabbage was good but had a ton of water. Plantains were decent and semi sweet. The Brown Stew Chicken is the star of this meal and was good. They gave a lot of chicken which was tender but there was also a ton of bones. read more

I was pretty disappointed in this place, but that was largely due to the rave reviews I've heard about it. I love Jamaican food so I was looking forward to it also for that as well, but what my friend and I experienced was not what I was hoping for. First of all, the food is pretty expensive. I ordered curry goat, and my friend ordered oxtails and we both paid $30 each. I will say they definitely give large portions so though you're spending a lot you do get a lot of food so that helps but I still just thought it was a bit pricey for to go food. The main issue that both of us had is that they did not give enough gravy at all compared to the amount of food that you're given. We got so much rice, but such a small amount of gravy that majority of the meal was dry because of that. I ended up making my own jerk/oxtail sauce in my kitchen just to be able to enjoy the rest of my meal, which I don't feel I should've had to do. I will say the meats were cooked well they were soft and juicy so that was probably the best part of everything but I'm a sauce person so to me the gravy is a big part of the experience and since so little was provided it just wasn't very good. I also feel like it could've generally been more flavorful as well, but that wasn't too bad. It was really mainly just dry so overall I just wouldn't recommend this place. I feel like I've had much better Jamaican food in my past experiences. read more

I was so excited as I smelled the grill when I went to my doctors appointment. Food smelled so good However the service sucked! The people weren't caring that you wanted to try the business for the first time. No one was excited or helpful. They treated everyone like this and it's a shame because I paid over $30 for a sub par plate. The food was just okay and although I ordered jerk salmon I got no sauce! read more

First time trying this Jamaican spot and it was sooo good. Very authentic. At first I thought it was pricey, but you get a lot of food for the money. I ordered two plates of oxtails with rice and peas, plantains, plus two rum cakes and two juices. Everything was delicious. My mom and I both loved it. I found this place by just Googling restaurants near me and had no idea it was even there since it's inside an office building. You do have to pay for parking, which is a downside, and they could definitely use more signs for the building. Other than that, the food is amazing. I'll definitely be back. read more

I ordered irie mom on door dash and it was pretty good. I got the whole fried snapper and the jerk chicken. Both were good but not the best I've had. I would go again , but I prefer Kingston's on the east side. I asked for my snapper extra spicy and it wasn't spicy at all, but they could have overlooked that. Jerk chicken was seasoned well. read more

Good Jamaican food can be difficult to find these days, so I'm always happy to enjoy some Irie Mon Cafe when I'm craving some. As someone from South Florida who grew up eating all kinds of Caribbean food, I can be really judgey although I'm American lol. So when one of my fave Jamaican girlies told me that Irie Mon Cafe was her local go-to, I made them mine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is in a small plaza with limited parking and a tight parking lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself doesn't offer any seating and is arranged for pick-up only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's always so hard for me to choose what to order but you really can't go wrong with their jerk chicken or oxtails and next I'll try their fish. My boyfriend loves a rasta pasta and enjoyed their version when we had it last. I appreciate that they don't skimp on portions and when you order extra sauce, they load it up! Definitely one of my top spots in ATL to indulge in my cravings for Jamaican food, can't wait to try more from their menu. read more

If you're going to serve small abortions of fatty, oxtail and dry jerk, chicken at least treat customers with a bit of respect. I just wasted $60 and I'll never be back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason why I gave them one star is that they're open later than everybody else but I got my plate of food before 10 PM.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady was rude and dismissive and they just lost me as a customer. My first time and I'll never be back in that place again. I'm not even the type of person to ever leave a review good or bad, but this rubbed me wrong. No excuse for bad service read more

This is the place to come for good Jamaican food if you're looking for laid back appeal, no dress code, no fuss ordering, a food-focused establishment (no drinks/no hookah), with great service and prompt ordering. They stay open past midnight, have a variety of options, and the sauce is spicy but not overpowering. I have had the chicken and the oxtails. They also have salmon, shrimp, and curry. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating is great for small groups, solo outings, and somewhere decent to eat and study or read. It is limited but always clean and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is good, served hot, they prepare it and place it on warmers, but the chicken is cut fresh to order. Tastes like the Jamaican food I've had overseas and the price is reasonable- pretty much same as other local spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like that it's laid back so no need to get dressed up or pay for extras just come get your food and enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you reach the location there's a metered entry to the parking lot. It's confusing to get out if you're not familiar but it's easy: just go around the side of the building and exit from the upper deck. If you want cocoa bread just ask it's not on the menu but they have it! read more

Listen. The escovitch veggies? Baby that escovitch fish and veggies does it for me every time. They don't only give two slices of plantain either. The portion sizes are generous and I love them for it. I've also had the oxtail entree and really enjoyed it. The macaroni side is solid. The only thing I missed was potatoes in the curry. Other than that, I recommend everything I've tried. Irie Mon Cafe will continue to see me! read more

Man I love Irie Mon but the jerk chicken has been hit or miss lately, you can tell when the cook had his pit too hot or when he had it just right lol. Oxtail Rasta pasta is always good...the patties...curry goat. Just wished the jerk chicken was more consistent. read more

We were visiting from S. FL so you already know that we know! Irie Mon will be our go to when we visit, highly recommend it! Really delicious food, nice location and restaurant, quick service and if the jerk is excellent so is everything else! We had the Jerk and rice n peas and cabbage... All amazing!!! Portion sizes are regular tad bit pricer than the other places we visited but worth it! The Rasta pasta yummy! Wish we ordered more! We will be back! read more

First visit there for both of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wasn't impressed with this tiny commercial space in an a Peachtree office building. We almost walked past it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were out of many of my preferred dishes and also the veg patties. The man loved his dish. Ackee and Saltfish Breakfast meal. The curry goat wasn't what I had hoped for. The peas in the peas and rice side? There were very few peas. Negligible in fact. The rice was dry as well. I don't recall the second side. I don't think I touched it. I'm not sure but the Buckhead location seems to have a smaller menu than other locations. It must have been an off day for them. We will return and I will update this review once we do. read more

I don't know if I just ordered the wrong thing but I did not enjoy the food. I got curry chicken and the curry was thin and just lacked over flavor.The rice and peas were soggy and the cabbage was definitely bland. The food is prepared pretty quickly though. read more

I experienced their food via their food truck at the Falcons Training Camp Day event. The service was very quick as soon as I ordered. The food was scrumptious and served hot. If it ain't spicy, it ain't jerk chicken and this jerk is spicy. The rice and peas were moist and not dry--just the way I like them. I love the flavor of the cabbage as well. Everything was truly delicious. Highly recommended! The plate was $15 for tons of food. read more

The first time I experienced this café it was excellent. It was so good we catered it for our holiday party however it seems to be a hit and miss now. The cashier/server seemed unwelcoming or friendly and seem like it was an issue when I asked for extra oxtail gravy on my rice and cabbage. Anyone knows White rice is dry and knees gravy. On this particular visit the oxtails were a little tough and the flavor was off but I would try them again to see if something changes. read more

The food was mediocre. The brown stewed chicken was dry and had no sauce and the plantains were overcooked and dry. The health inspection score is a 89 B. The staff could be more pleasant but Jamaicans have an innate attitude problem for some unknown reason. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant could be cleaner looking but I guess they are doing their best.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll stick to my spot in North Atlanta. Not impressed. read more

I ordered Irie Mon through Door Dash and it was great. First off, the food was packaged so well. If you've ever had Jamaican, you know that you HAVE to hold the bag from the bottom so that you don't spill any of the gravies and juices. Each container was wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, so even if the driver didn't handle it with care, the food would still be intact. It was also 11 pm, so I thought the rice would be hard and the chicken dry lol. That was not the case! The portions were amazing and everything was fresh. There was a promotion on the jerk chicken last night, so I've been eating leftovers throughout the day. If you haven't been yet, give Irie Mon a visit. Very good and I'll be back! read more

Irie Mon Cafe - Rasta pasta - Caribbean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is getting way too expensive. 25 for curry, jerk or brown stew chicken? If the reasoning is that you give customers a lot of food or two meals, that's neither here nor there. We don't want two meals - I don't, anyway. I want one normal sized meal. I'm looking for a single meal I can eat and be done with. I don't want enough for two portions or feel like I have to eat it again or store it for another time. Mabe instead of offering gigantic, super outrageous portions (mainly the rice), give your customers a $12-$14 offering that is regular size. Comfort food at 25? For some rice and peas, and dark meat chicken and cabbage?! No way. That's almost fine dining prices. read more

When you walk in depending on which angle you see the guy on the grill outside making the jerk chicken. Which is great they make it on the grounds of the store. It was my first time here and the lady I in the front gave great service. She was respectful honest when asked about the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was good music being played clean had tables and chairs to sit and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you wanted to sit down and eat your food on the scene. I definitely will be back in the future. read more

To the owner: This is the 3rd time I have left a review regarding bad customer service. On Friady 5/1/26 around 7:00pm I purchased my meal and asked the young lady for 2 sauces and her response was ok and when I got home no sauces at all. I drove back and said to the lady I asked for 2 sauces and you didn't give me any, the lady didn't respond at all and rudely handed me 2 sauces. No apology, no sorry sir....she said nothing. It was obvious she did not care about my sauce or my business, so I asked her to refund my money. Irie Mon Cafe .... the restaurant with great food but horrible customer service. read more

Food was good! The service was great! They were very accommodating and we felt welcomed I would wish if they can give just a lil more portions (meat) and I also have been to other places that offer cabbage or rice as an included side + 2 more sides (rice and plantains) just for a suggestion but overall good was great and service was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the music that was playing and it was very lit up, very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would say I am new to AtL so the place was a little hard to find and the gates were closed but we parked next to the mexican place read more

We ordered online and picked up the food. Service - we received our food quickly which was great! Food - I forgot to ask for no Rice & beans because I don't like beans lol but it was very good and full of sauce.

The portion was plentiful, you won't finish it If you're looking for late night eats in Atlanta i definitely recommend this one! read more

I stumbled upon Irie Mon a few weeks ago and I must say I am glad I did! This is a Jamaican gem in Midtown Atlanta that definitely gives you enough food for your money. I had the stewed chicken, rice, and Mac n cheese and it was all good! They do up charge on the higher end for the Mac n Cheese which I didn't necessarily like (+$4), however it was worth it. I would definitely try them again! read more

How did Irie Mon Cafe Manage to score a food truck presence Outside of rum punch brunch? I will never know... What I do know is I was famished... In need of a home cooked meal Ladies and gentlemen On a drunken Sunday afternoon I found this food truck in Atlanta I swear they had a line That was reminiscent of the walking dead Everyone partying all afternoon lining up at the same time to eat Considering how crowded it was and The fact that this Irie Mon Cafe was conveniently close With authentic jerk done in the smoker And rice and peas along with cabbage As side items... Wow is all I can say The chicken was good The rice had flavor ( traditional West Indian spices) Texture was good Cabbage I've never been a fan ( doesn't matter from who) So I can't tell you how it tasted Customer service was top notch Gave the impression that I was the only customer ( extremely shocking, these people were beyond busy) Will definitely eat here again!!!!! read more

I travelled from Washington DC and was so excited to have some great ox tails finally. I'm sorry for anyone in the comments who had a negative experience as mine was nothing but amazing. I placed the order online and when I arrived the girl confirmed everything I ordered. The ox tails literally just fell off the bone. Food was delicious! I got a side of jerk sauce and loved eating that with the rice and cabbage. Amazing flavor and fair pricing for how huge this portion was. read more

Can't go wrong with Jerk chicken. They smoke it for 2 hours and the portions are huge. Bring an appetite and enjoy!!

Drinks and food were really good. I definitely recommend the rum punch :) [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have causal side and a lounge style option only open on the weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the jerk chicken and it was amazing. I just needed more of the sweet/sour sauce. But really enjoyable still. read more

I've been twice so far and both times the food has been amazingly delicious. Location - easy to find. You do have to get a parking stub but the restaurant provides up to 25 mins and validates parking. I've only had the oxtails but I would love to come back and try the jerk chicken too. They are generous with the food portions. The plate I had was rice and peas and it was actual beans. Also with cabbage and plantains. The meat is flavorful and fall off the bone tender. Everything is seasoned just right and the plantains gives you that burst of sweetness. Large oxtail plate $30 They have some seating inside and outside. I'd recommend it and return. read more

I must admit, I often forget about this restaurant until I have to run an errand in the vicinity and see the smoke from their grill and smell the delicious jerk scents. When you enter the restaurant there are bright red and yellow colors and there are a few tables and chairs for patrons to dine in. I tend to stop by during the lunch hours and order the jerk chicken meal, which comes with rice and peas and your choice of plantain or cabbage. The jerk chicken is tasty, but often I find the rice and peas could have more peas and they could give you more pieces of plantain to the order. All in all, it's a decent option for takeout Jamaican food and is convenient when I'm in the area and craving some Caribbean eats. read more

Was super excited to try but ended up having a very unfortunate experience. Ordered two orders of the jerk chicken. When it was delivered, the chicken was not cooked - fully pink. Plantains that were given (that I didn't order) were stale and they didn't include the cabbage I ordered. Basically, I won't be ordering from ever again. read more

Couldn't comment on the atmosphere because I didn't go to the location in person. Ordered through a delivery service and it was delivered really quickly. Food could've been hotter. The cabbage was excellent. The oxtails were pretty good but not the greatest. The flavor was good and they were tender, but it was missing just a little something. The beans and rice I did not like at all. Oxtails are almost $35. read more

The customer service was really good here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The design of the establishment looked really clean and sleek.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the salmon pasta. Unfortunately it was so underwhelming. The salmon was almost non existent and cut up into small pieces. Some of the pieces even burnt. Even a thin filet would suffice. The pasta itself was initially so bland. Thankfully the nice lady offered hot sauce. It was very tasty, and livened up the pasta. I did like the freshness of the bell peppers as well. The salmon was supposed to be the star though, just seemed like a rip off. read more
