Delicious food! And great customer service!. I just just moved here from Vancouver 2 weeks ago, and Island Flava Roti was my first meal in Ottawa. I will be a regular at this place!. Thanks for the great service!.
Visited today, so good! By far the best restaurant down town! �

So many options, all soo good. Caribbean food from Ottawa's own
Fantastic!! Dream of going back every year and gotten my coworkers hooked too,
Even better than the goat I’ve had in Jamaica !
Wonderful place to eat Caribbean food
Good food and great service all the time
Small little place that doesn't look like much but the food will surprise you. Very good price for delicious food. Great place if you want to grab a quick bite and are looking for something a bit different.
Proper jerk chicken. In Ottawa for work for a week and will be back before I go to try the oxtail or goat. Great for take out, not for dining in.
Jerk chicken is to die for. That's all haah. So good.
Jerk Chicken Poutine. If you have not tried this poutine, you absolutely must. The flavours of the jerk chicken infuse with the gravy - so that you get a spicy gravy drizzeled over fresh cut fries that actually taste like potato (and not sad stringy bits of nothingness) with melted grated cheese. This place is such a hidden gem. I remember walking in randomly in first year uni, attracted by the possibility of quick easy food and of course, poutine with a bit of a twist. I was not disappointed and I recommend to anyone that hasn't to step out of their comfort zone and at least try!
Dont expect anything as far as service but the food is amazing. Vegetable roti is delicious!
This is a take out window with a few tables. So do not expect, a washroom, a license, table service, silverware or many of the other little things you take for granted when dining out - like a plate. HOWEVER, the food is good, consistent (forget the salad . . . do not take the little bit of salad seriously . . . it is barely food or decoration.) Goat curry/roti, Jerk chicken and fish - all really tasty - eat it up with some rice and pigeon peas with some plaintain on top washed down with a can of pop and be on your way with a smile on your face and a little fire in your tummy. Limited menu, but if you are in the downtown core and need a bit of jerk flavour you cane get it here.
Delicious!!. I ordered the curry chicken... the guy behind the counter hooked it up! Lots of chicken, rice, plantains.. the food was delicious and pleantiful.
Next time I'm in ottawa I'll definitely return
I enjoyed the meal ( jerk chicken ) it provided me with that home cookingesq meal I miss from home! Overall very happy!
Supper fare. I had the jerk chicken plate. It was a good bang for the buck. I felt it was authentic in the spicing of the chicken dish. For a small three table establishment, I would recommend it to anyone who likes caribbean food.
It is wonderfully savoury. The fries are crisp. There is boned dark meat chicken. The gravy is distinctly jerk.
Found this hidden gem in downtown. Loved the food, their curry chicken is amazing. Wouldn’t disappoint !
Been around forever super friendly cashier. if you call in and pick up they will have the food ready. New parking infront or park around the corner to avoid a ticket! Open late and food portions and price are very fair. Ask for spice if you can handle it. Spice it up!
Has the boneless jerk chicken. Was great. Fresh pressed mango juice was also really good too.
SPICY! But the good kinda spicy. My friend, who is an Ottawa local, recommended Island Flava for jerk chicken and boy, she did not disappoint! We ordered the jerk chicken dinner, extra side of plantains, and beef patties— everything was flavourful and decent sized portion of rice and peas! My only complaint is the side salad as I would’ve loved (the traditional) creamy coleslaw as a side. Overall, I’d highly recommend Island Flava for authentic Jamaican food!
If you want some mouthwatering chicken curry that will remind you of home, this is the place for you! I had the chicken curry roti and absolutely everything about it was comforting and felt like home. Highly recommend, they give you so much chicken too! I’m gonna let the pictures speak for itself because it’s sooo good.
Favourite place in ALL OF OTTAWA to get a jerk poutine. Honestly everything on their menu is sooo good they haven’t changed everything about their food is consistent they just keep getting better and better. The service is super warm and friendly makes you actually wanna leave Canada to go to Jamaica what I’m tryna say is it feels like home. Which is what you want when going to a Jamaican restaurant all these other places in ottawa can’t compare
