Caribbean Kitchen Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Douglasville

I was enthusiastic about tasting the food since I’ve limited where I eat during the pandemic.

I gave it a 4/5 because two family members enjoyed their food- the shrimp roti and the curried chicken.

I got to taste their food and wasn’t impressed. There were uncooked grains of rice; the beans were a bit too hard, the chicken was dry, the fish tough, and had too much seasoning to make out the taste of fish; the roti was filling was unusual for me since, in the Caribbean, the usual stuffing is boiled potatoes, meat, and the curried seasoning. Plus some flour to thicken the curry sauce. Beware if you’ve not traveled to the Caribbean and had chicken roti. Their chicken is not deboned for the roti.

The seasoning had too much nutmeg in them. Therefore, the dishes tasted more or less the same - jerk seasoning with an exceptionally overpowering nutmeg amount.

The plantains had not reached the perfect overall level of ripeness. The center was a bit hard.

I can say that the oxtail was decent, 8/10. The seasoning clung to the meat. That a plus and a negative. Plus, it was pleasantly flavorful, but hard to get any of that seasoning/gravy on the rice.

Their restaurant brand of hot sauce is delicious. I prefer it a bit thick, but that’s no reflection on the flavor.

I plan on going back. I’ll update this post if not create a new one. Sometimes life happens that the food doesn’t taste 💯.

Regarding the “ratchet” reviews- the portions are perfect. There’s food enough to save for the next day.

First impression upon arrival was that the parking lot/exterior could benefit from landscaping and thorough cleaning. The connection of an emissions place to the restaurant seemed unusual, but it did not deter me from trying their food.

Inside the restaurant, I noticed that it was on the smaller side and appeared cluttered with speakers in the dining area. It seemed like the sound system would provide a good music experience when in use.

The alcoholic drinks at the restaurant were quite enjoyable. However, my wife and I were extremely disappointed with the food. While I initially wanted to try their curry chicken, I was dissuaded by the description of the oxtails. Ultimately, my wife ordered the jerk chicken.

The oxtails turned out to be hard, fatty, flavorless, and rubbery, making them the worst oxtails I have ever tasted. My wife's jerk chicken was overcooked and extremely dry, with a level of spiciness that even exceeded my preference for spicy food. The cabbage, which included green beans, corn, and peas, was a unique combination but lacked flavor. Additionally, the plantains appeared enticingly glossy but were unfortunately greasy when bitten into.

Despite our disappointment with the food, our server was very pleasant. In a polite manner, we requested to-go boxes, enjoyed our drinks, and decided to distribute our meals to two homeless couples instead of discarding them.

In the future, when searching for Jamaican restaurants, I will be more attentive to any red flags and trust my...
