Nu Caribbean

I placed an order for the staff at my office, and we chose the jerk chicken with rice and beans, salad, caribbean style chow mein and beef Jamaican patties. The food was amazing. The patties tasted just like the ones I had in Montego Bay when I visited Jamaica. The jerk chicken was tender and incredibly flavourful with just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend Nu Caribbean.

Curry chicken is decent
White rice is not white rice and undercooked.
Mac n Cheese is absolutely flavourless

This is my first time trying Caribbean food & I was blown away with how amazing it tasted. The food was fresh , the chicken was tender & the ric was delicious. 100% reccomend trying this place. The taste blew my mind 😁. Meals are closer to 20$ though.

Jamaican Patties

The best product, by far, that I’ve discovered so far in Ottawa—and there are a few other exceptional sellers in and around town.

Very, very good product!!! Exceptional!

This morning I visited the Nu Caribbean storefront venue located at 858 Merivale Rd. after reading great online reviews of their Jamaican patties.

Sampled one patty there, and left with three dozen to distribute amongst family members. 1 dozen mild/2 dozen spicy hot.

What made the difference today?

The customer-centric care that the Chef/Proprietor provided from the moment I walked in the restaurant.

The pastry’s flavour, texture (flakiness) and the generous amount of meat filling inside and its flavour.

My Jamaican born wife (Spanish Town, St. Catherine) suggested that these patties are better than any she’s had in Ottawa (and South Miami) to-date.

Reminded her of Tastee Ltd. patties in Jamaica—her childhood favourites.

Bravo/kudos to the Nu Caribbean team at 858 Merivale Rd. In Ottawa near to Westgate Shopping centre.

An Additional 5 Star Review

A supplemental update to previous 5 Star Review for 3 dozen Jamaican Patties.

Today, 10 July 2024, my wife and I picked up a Curry Goat, Ox-Tail take-out meal and a dozen more Jamaican Patties (Spicy).

Great service and outstanding products Chef—Kudos to you!

Side Note: We also added our own fresh Scotch Bonnet pepper once we got home—for the fun of it.

Ordered from here for the first time and really enjoyed it! We tried the oxtail, jerk chicken roti, goat curry, fried chicken, patties, as well as got their homemade hot sauce and ginger beer. It’s all really delicious! I think the fried chicken was the family favourite though and not spicy at all for our 4 year old. The curry and oxtail were really nice too – some of the most tender meat I’ve had in restaurant stews. The food is not too spicy, which is good for our kid. If you like spicy though, make sure to get the awesome hot sauce! Would recommend to anyone.
