Ambrosia Island Restaurant

Oxtail were delicious, very authentic. Very welcoming and clean environment. Will be back soon!

For delivery I paid 25.00+ for a large curry chicken and 3 chicken patties. For that price I was expecting more food, well I was wrong. The portion of curry chicken I received was similar to a child’s plate. I took a picture as proof.

Great place, nice atmosphere, the staff is very welcoming and the costumer service is really friendly from the moment you walk in, the food is amazing good variety.
I suggest to order the sampler as an appetiser to try out all the best dishes of the menu.
All cocktails are freshly made and tasty.

Disappointing. The food was passable, the portions tiny, and the prices too high. Oxtails were sliced so thin, you could almost see through them. Advertised with carrots and «irish» potatoes. One tiny slice of carrot. No potato. Cabbage was completely overcooked and soggy. The restaurant is hot and had no ventilation, so when they’re cooking, it’s smoke filled. No akee and saltfish, which is my favorite. What a shame.

You will be on island time when you come, but it is worth every minute. I had the stew chicken rice and peas and a cabbage medley… MMMMMMM GOOOD

Great date night or anytime place to eat. Dine on savory, well flavored oxtails with tasty sides of cabbage, rice, beans & plantain. Live DJ playing Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs or customers request. Go check them out!

The first time I came here, they were not open so I was disappointed. But I vowed to myself that I would come back because the decorum looked so inviting. Let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed this time.
I was in a rush so I only had time to get the plantains and they were so delicious.
I have had them prepared before at other places but not like this. Normally, plantains are made like french fries which is how I think if them but the Chef made them for me and they tasted like a sweet dessert. This was too good. Normally I don’t eat sweets but I could help myself.
The owners are very cordial and attentive. Many business owners could learn a thing or two as far how to treat a customer .
The ginger beer was good too.
Bigga Ginger Beer.

They are located in the Shops at Silverlake behind NTB in the old Rosemary Cakes storefront.
Dropped by on opening day today and was disappointed not to see this place packed. The food and the service here is great. Everyone is super friendly and the reggae music is a welcome sound after a tough week at work.
We got the escovich fish for dinner and the banana fritters for dessert. We also got some beef patties to go (haven’t tried them yet). The fish came with rice and peas, fried plaintains, and steamed veggies (cabbage and carrots). The banana fritters were warm and slightly crispy with ice cream on top. Everything tasted fresh and was well prepared.
I also ordered the Jamaican Smile drink. It has pineapple, ginger, and mint. It was super tasty and I cannot wait for them to get their liquor license and kick it up a notch!
Some people may think the wait time for food is a little long, but we knew they just opened and it means we are getting everything prepared to order.
We will definitely be back and I hope this place does really well.
