A shockingly enjoyable experience. We were looking for a restaurant in the area, and weren't feeling any of the other options. The staff was super nice when we came in, We had the Jerk Berger, Garlic Fries and Baby Back Ribs with Plantain fries. Both were cooked well and had a really good flavor from the meat, and also the spicing and flavor were quite good. It sounds like they may be refreshing the interior, I would agree that would help as it felt a bit lost in design, and also a bit tired. I would definitely go back for the staff and the food. read more

I've been here so many times and recommended this place to so many people. Every time I'm in the area, I make it a point to eat here.. It pains me to write this review but I hope it's seen by management and they address this issue. I had a friend visiting from another state (drove for 10 hours in snow and ice). I was excited to bring them here for brunch. I made a reservation online the day before just in case. We arrived at 10am and the doors were locked. The hours said they'd be open at 9am. Tried getting the staff's attention but it seemed like we were being ignored. I called the phone number several times. No one picked up even though I could see staff inside. I even tried sending them a message on social media but no response. We ended up going to the breakfast spot next door. When we were done, we walked past the restaurant and of course it was open then. Needless to say, this experience was super disappointing. Communication about updated hours or picking up the phone isn't too much to ask for. One bad experience isn't a dealbreaker but two will be. I hope management fixes this quickly. read more

Orchid Fusion in Dedham is always a vibe! Our server Zeek was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond and stepped in help us to the finish line. We're requesting you when we come back. I had the garlic fries and the pork plantain tacos yummie. The only consistent letdown? No sliced avocado , just guac... and still no pikliz! That extra kick would elevate so many of these dishes. I'm seriously tempted to BMOP (bring my own pikliz) next time. And to the chocolate loc'd bartender... THANK YOU from the whole krew! Not one of us had a drop of alcohol, but your existence alone was the real pour. Orchid, we love you, just tighten up the speed a bit (you discounted the meal) and you would have 5 stars and we would be golden. Keep shining ! read more

We were seated right away. Server came by and took our order soon there after. They did not have the wine she ordered, twice even. The entree she ordered was not available. She told us the menu was incorrect. We ordered plantains and they were hot, crispy but somewhat bland. I had the black rice dish and it was amazing. Huge portions and very well seasoned. She had the shrimp and it was quite fresh. A very nice place to eat in Dedham. A very good change of pace. read more

I've known about this restaurant, but had no idea it was conveniently located in downtown Dedham and was such an interesting and wide space. The curb appeal was nice and the atmosphere is good for a variety of dining experiences: Family, Date night, Girls Night, Celebrations, etc. There is an ample bar and lounge area. We went during the day, but I could see the appeal at night. The menu featured classic Haitian dishes and some that seem like fusion cuisine. I was disappointed to see that the crab cake was removed from the menu, but the seared scallops were a great alternative. My family loved the BBQ wings as well, but the star of the show was the amazing crispy and flavorful garlic fries!!! SOOOOOO delicious. Great restaurant and very kind and professional staff. Prices were a bit off putting for lunch time (Entrees $20 -40+). read more

Highly recommend this spot. I had the Rasta Pasta and Plantain Tacos, which were delectable. Pasta portions were huge and the flavor profile of the plantains with the meat/slaw was perfection. Also had the strawberry marg and lemon drop from the cocktail menu and both had great flavor. Staff was attentive, especially the head bartender who made great conversation with us. read more

Orchid7 - Rasta Pasta, plantain taco - Caribbean Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Located right in the heart of Dedham this spacious restaurant serves Caribbean style cuisine. Large portion sizes and good size menu. While Caribbean truthfully isn't my favorite....they do have some items on the menu for everyone. The plantain sliders are great, have tried the sandwiches, shrimp, and black rice. Great selection of drinks and full bar. Staff is lovely and helpful. Also has live music with a lot of talent on weekends. Fun place for a date night. read more

Orchid7 - Live music on Friday nights. Worth it! - Caribbean Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

Quality & Quantity was terrible for $130.54. $42 for a half filled tray of black rice with 4 regular size shrimps. $28 for half filled tray of black rice with chicken that taste like burnt charcoal. $52 for 2 orders of chicken Tacos, all dark meat scraps with multiple bones. Both items were really greasy. I still attempted to eat it and ended up nauseous from all the oil. Before I placed my order I specifically asked about the rice and was assured it would be filled (this was the second time I this happened to me on a take out order). Extremely disappointed. read more

My partner and I got the fried plantain sliders w griot (roasted pork), jerk caramelized pineapple burger, and roasted mustard chicken - TASTE: 5/5 - highlights included the sliders w its comforting plantains, sweet pork, and slaw; burger w its well-seasoned patty, jerk spices, sweet pineapple, and garlic-heavy fries; and the chicken's black rice (riz donjon). Thought the chicken could've been more flavorful though TEXTURE: 4/5 - the sliders were super satisfying w its tender plantain base and crunchy slaw. Also enjoyed the thick-cut fries and chicken's crisp skin. Presentation was on point for all of the dishes PRICE: 3/5 - the sliders were expensive at $19, so subtotal was $72. A steep lunch for us SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - good portions. We left satisfied SERVICE: 3/5 - we walked in at 12:30pm on a Saturday and were the only party seated. It was noticeably slow to get our menus and, later, the bill - maybe it's meant to be a more leisurely, relaxed experience? Our waiter was kind and helpful in answer our menu questions ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - larger space than expected w great music and an open kitchen. Appreciate that Orchid7 brings a piece of the Caribbean to Mass PARKING: 5/5 - parked in Town of Dedham's Keystone Lot, across the street, for free read more

I have been longing for a true, sit down Caribbean restaurant that I could take others to and experience a taste of our culture, without the rushed, slapped together pressure if takeout. This may be it. I went there yesterday for a family member's birthday dinner. The server was kind enough to bring her a special treat of cheesecake at no additional charge. The layout is comfortable and airy and faces right out into Dedham Center. The menu is a delightful fusion of Caribbean cuisines with American favorites. I would have liked to have given it five stars, but I wished the menu had just a few more items to round it out a bit (perhaps another chicken entree and a few more appetizers that are meaty). The pricing matches well with that of the Legal Seafood empire, but with the assurance that your dollar is going to a young business making a name in the local community. I will definitely be back. read more

Haitian Delights Attention foodies! My friends brought me here to celebrate my birthday and it was a great experience to say the least. I'm recently vegan and the options they have are scrumptious. The level of flavor in my coconut chickpea curry had my taste buds dancing for more. Every dish was bursting with authenticity, and it was evident that the chefs put their heart and soul into their creations. Their birthday celebration is very cute you get a cake that's plated beautifully and says happy birthday. A Feast for the Eyes: Haitian Art They showcase their beauty of Haitian art throughout its walls. The vibrant paintings and sculptures transported me to the bustling markets and lush landscapes of Haiti. Final Thoughts! The flavorful dishes will transport you to the streets of Port-au-Prince, while the captivating Haitian art will ignite your imagination. So, gather your friends and embark on a flavor-filled adventure. Be prepared to be dazzled by the incredible flavors and immerse yourself in the rich culture of Haiti. Bon appétit! read more

I really like the decor here. It's very colorful, spacious and inviting. I also think the servers are very down to earth and can converse with you. On the day I went, I ordered jerk wings and a cup of chili. The chili was very tasty and came with a side of pita. I would definitely recommend it, but I didn't love the jerk wings. They had a sour taste; I'm not sure what ingredient caused the wings to taste like that, but I never tasted jerk wings like that before. What was a bit annoying was the fire alarm went off while I was there, and it was painfully loud. We all had to evacuate the restaurant when the fire service came, and I heard a server say it was the second time the fire alarm went off that day. I understand they are a new restaurant, but they might need to work that out because I can imagine that will be an annoyance to some who are in the middle of a meal and have to rush out the restaurant or try and converse over an excruciatingly loud alarm. Thankfully, my friend and I had finished eating by the time the alarm went off and just needed to grab our check, but I've never experienced this before and I eat out a bit, so yeah, I would definitely return and give them another chance but I hope they straighten out their smoke detector system! read more

Great spot in Dedham, great vibes, good music, and hands down some of the best drinks around. I love the fish bowl drink. The ribs were pretty tender (kind of fall off the bone but a little tougher than I like) still great and the sauce is delicious. The salmon was cooked great, the black rice is one of the highlights here. The atmosphere is great for a date night or hanging out either some friends watching a game. I would say the vibe is kind of casual mixed with business casual. I guess it depends on the night. The good thing is you can pretty much get a table on Fridays or Saturdays read more

Incredible..... I can honestly say I will definitely return to Orchid7... every single meal I had was delicious, we ordered the Bruschetta Mozzarella ($11.95), Jumbo wings in garlic ($15.95) as appetizers. For our entrees we had the Plantain Tacos ($18.95), and Rasta Pasta with Salmon ($32.95). And as for drinks we ordered the Passion Fruit Lychee ($15.50), Moscow Mule ($13), Coconut Lychee ($15.50) and Piña Colada ($14). All our meals were packed with flavor and are drinks were very well made what makes our experience at Orchid7 even better was our waiter being so nice and friendly. Before we even paid the bill we we're already planning on when we would return. I definitely recommend Orchid7 Fusion Bar.. 10 out of 10 The garlic wings came with about 7-8 pieces (we devoured them before I could even get a before picture) oh and we definitely made sure we ended with dessert and Cappuccino read more

I came here to dine with friends on a weekday evening and was super excited because I heard nothing, but great reviews. The restaurant is located in the heart of Dedham Square about 30 minutes south of downtown Boston and is very close to the lines of Hyde Park. Upon walking in the space is well lit with a host stand at the door, several smaller party tables along the perimeter of the venue and even has a fireplace surrounded by love seats, a couch, tv, and a neighboring wine rack. My party was for six people so we were nestled towards the back of the dining room past the bar. . Anna, our server was attentive and continued to check in periodically although we had not even looked at the menu after nearly 30 minutes into our reservation. To wine down (see what I did there??) we had Black Girl Magic Rose and added a seafood appetizer of seared sea scallops to compliment the drink. The sauce was a decadent yellow and the dish itself was succulent. Next we orderd the Orchid 7 wings jerk style and the flavor did not disappoint. Spicy is what you expect, but you could taste other smoky flavors beyond that. Our last appetizer were the french fries which were steak cut, seasoned and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. While dining, the chef Paul stopped by our table to ask us how everything was going which showed me how intentional they are with their standard of service. . We placed our order for entrees and I got the coconut curry chickpeas with a a side of plantains. Do not be fooled by the small size of the bowl its presented in! It was A LOT OF FOOD! I was so filled from the apps, I took the rest home and ate out of it four times with my sister! My friends ordered the Grilled Salmon with black rice, the Rasta Pasta and lastly the Orchid 7 Burger which also had huge portions. I wish we had space for dessert - I almost never do :-( as they have a fridge filled with several delectable cakes and cheesecakes. Hands down the best experience I have had at a Caribbean restaurant and hope to dine here again soon! read more

I went here to try this establishment out again, and it was still a disappointment. The food was just okay but the service was underwhelming. The server came by infrequently and the hostess was preoccupied with her phone. This was a couple of months ago. I had good company that's the only reason i stayed. No thanks! Management needs to do stronger monitoring of staff. read more

So... this place came up in a search a few weeks ago and the food looked amazing so headed there tonight. Honestly one of the best places we have been in a while. There are so many things on the menu we wanted to try, but we settled on... I started with a bowl of the beef chilli..Chilli... great flavor and has a really cool spice in it. Just a little heat at the end. The pitas that came with it also great! For my meal, I ordered the plantain tacos! Pork with the slow on them. The shell was a plantain!! Yes get them!! My wife ordered a salad and she loved it! The vibe is great and the staff was so friendly and absolutely amazing!! read more

The service is excellent, and parking is easy and free. Go check it out. You won't regret it. read more

We made a 9:30 am brunch reservation at Orchid 7 to celebrate a birthday. We arrived at 9:25 am, only to find the restaurant closed while we stood outside in the cold. Eventually someone came to the door and told us the restaurant opens at 10:00 am and that the chef wasn't even there yet. He let us in. Two employees were present and neither could explain why a reservation had been accepted. To make matters worse no one called us to inform us of this issue. I later called Orchid 7 and spoke with someone named Maria, who spoke in a very nonchalant manner as if this were normal. Her response was essentially, " I apologize, and next time you come in, please remind me." So Im supposed to remind her that I made a reservation, showed up, and waited in the cold to find out the restaurant was closed? No, Maria there will be no next time. There is absolutely nothing appealing about returning. Boston has plenty of restaurants with better ratings, better service, and most likely better food. I do not need to come to Or hid 7. To add to the confusion the website says Sunday hours are 8 am to 8 pm, the doors says 10:00 am and OpenTable accept reservations starting at 9:30 am. Management seriously needs to do their jobs and post accurate hours so this doesn't happen to another customer. Wish you the best but I will be choosing from the many better options Boston has to offer. read more

The food was delicious and well made, but the server was extremely slow. She had about 3 tables and it took 15 minutes to get a menu and 20- 30 minutes to check in on us. When she finally got us (30 minutes later), the kitchen was closed. No apology or anything. Not very respectful. My friends want to try it tonight and I am hesitant to go after my last experience, but the food is good. The atmosphere is lowkey and not a lot of people. Very chill, but the singer in the background was super distracting. This place can be 5 stars if it was more consistent with good service and the price could be more reasonable. read more

Very tasty food, though their name makes me think they're some kind of sushi place instead of a Haitian-fusion spot. We got delivery via ChowNow, and each of the 3 items were fresh, flavorful, and balanced. You could put the sauce from the shrimp entree on a shoe and it'd be delicious, and I was glad the dish came with rice to sop every last drop up. The chicken and black rice were perfectly seasoned, and the tostone "sliders" with pork (more like a tostone tostada) were unique and excellent. The portions were just right- I cleaned my plate and felt just-quite-full. Not particularly cheap though, although you're paying for quality. Note the delivery prices are higher than the in-house menu, so be sure you're looking at the right thing. read more

Walked in on a Friday night and was blown away by the ambiance. A live band was playing and it was an amazing welcome for my first time visiting Orchid. I'm not sure if it's an every Friday night thing but having a live band made the evening special. The service from the waitstaff was very good and they were attentive. The bartender made good drinks and the food was filling and very good portions. The space is surprisingly large and can fit a large group. Overall I give an A- to Orchid for food, service and ambiance! I highly recommend and will return. read more

I was happy when I heard Orchid 7 was open for business, and I was happy when I was stuffing my face with baby back ribs :) Orchid 7 is very much needed in Dedham, offering a nice dine in Carribean experience. I love the set up of the restaurant--they have a few couches/lounge area once you enter on the left hand side, a modest bar that can seat about 10 people, pllenty of dine in seats, and a few TV's with sports. I've been twice and they're often playing afrobeats, rnb and Carribean music in the background. Staff here is friendly and they make sure to be warm and welcoming to the community. They also have a private room in the back that can hold 30 people for events, etc... The first time I came, I ordered chicken wings, the second time baby back ribs with fries. The ribs were sticky and tasty as expected, and portions were fairly sized. Fries were thick, well seasoned and crispy. The food here DOES NOT MISS, it is a bit pricey, but worth it. If you're looking for authentic Carribean food, I highly recommend. Also, they host all types of events here too like Karoake, Live music nights, brunch, etc... It's been getting busier, so definitely worth calling to make a reservation. You'll probably catch me here again for brunch. I'll keep you posted :) read more

Am obsessed with their plantain tacos! It has cabbage slaw in it and you can choose to have either chicken or slow cooked roast pork. We went with the roast pork and it did not disappoint. You can also add avocado for an extra $4 or shrimp for extra $5. It is on the pricier end ($18.95) for tacos but these are specialty tacos that I would be willing to dish out money for on an occasional basis. The ambiance was nice and quiet, and the service wasn't exactly fast but wasn't slow either. There was just one guy working for lunch when we went, so totally understandable! Would come back again to try more (or just to get those tacos again). read more

Really nice and relaxed little spot. The owners husband came over to us during our meal and asked how everything was going and told us about weekend events they have coming up. The service overall was great (the restaurant was pretty quiet probably because of the holiday timing we went). We started with a few martinis (took a little while but they were so good), best we have had in a while. And we ordered the sweet plantains which were good but could've used a sauce. I ordered the jerk burger medium well. It was pretty crispy on the outside but cooked nicely on the inside. The jerk flavor was amazing and not really spicy. I would order it again. My wife ordered the salmon that came in a delicious sauce. She loved it. Pretty small kids menu but as you can see, our son wasn't complaining. Fun night. Would go back. read more

I can NOT say enough about this amazing hidden gem. First, LOCATION great! Right in Dedham Center with the free parking lot across the street(also plenty of street parking if you're lucky enough to catch a spot right in front of the business. Went on a Saturday night and there was a DJ. They have tables along the walls and lounging areas near the DJ booth and in the back of the establishment. Very welcoming. Greeter was on their job. It seems they prefer a reservation but definitely welcome walk-ins. The wait staff greets you immediately and lets you know the special right away. Great attention to detail and the wait staff doesn't hover while you have a mouth full of deliciousness!! I look forward to visiting again and always recommend it to friends and family read more
