Reviews for (abeautifullife) Jamaican Cafe in Los Angeles, CA

The esthetic is nice and music is okay. The food was not good at all I spent 65 dollars and ate 4 bites. Callaloo was burnt,... rice was undercooked, and the Ackee And salt fish was like porridge ???????????. I could go to Dat Moi Market and make all ofthis myself for a fraction of what I paid and it would taste better. Our table was so small the server couldn’t fit everythingwe ordered. Read more

By far the best Jamaican food I've ever had! Both the oxtail and the jerk chicken are equally mouthwatering. Request oxtail... gravy on top of your meal! It improves the rice tremendously!! I've had better coleslaw, but it's a nice contrast to the meatand rice! Strongly recommended!!! This size is sufficient for two meals!! My boyfriend and I ordered a large, and it lasted allday!

If I could give it no stars I would. Why make reservations if it won’t be honored?? They lack basic customer service skills,... and common sense. They need to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to properly execute running a business/restaurant.You can have good food, but if the service lacks the business does as well. No Owner should be proud of the way this business isbeing operated. Throw the WHOLE restaurant away. Read more

Nope. I am Jamaican. Would not recommend the Jerk Chicken. At all. Maybe the other foods are okay but that was my first time and... I doubt I’ll be going back. I’m normally quite generous with ratings. But they should not call that jerk chicken. The saucewas like a weird pepper sauce with a black pepper base. (It literally did not taste like jerk sauce). Like a real yaadie, Iasked for gravy on the rice. BAD IDEA. Then I couldn’t eat the rice too. The best part was the plantains. 0/10. Sorry. Read more

First let me say, it was refreshing to be in a space with no drama with all the liquor flowing????. The food was immaculate,... everything was well seasoned and came out hot and fresh *as it should have for the wait*, but my four stars is for the serviceand forced tip; the waitress we had was amazing and very attentive *as much as she could have been* there were plenty of otherstaff walking around, dont know what there jobs were so don't wanna speculate. There is a mandatory 20% gratitude added to EVERYCHECK no matter the size of your party. The food is already "expensive" so adding on a 20% gratitude, expect to spend more. Idon't mind the gratitude but that should be left up to the patrons, when most of the time those tips are pooled and the waiteror waitress helping you won't even see the entire tip. *even though I additional tipped my waitress graciously*, she deservedit. The Oxtail mac was hot, bubbling The Salmon and shrimp, seasoned but over cooked The curry and jerk chicken, great andslightly spicy*obviously* All was amazing Would I go again, yes, just with a larger party to make sense of the added 20%gratitude Read more
