I’m moving to the area and stopped by with my husband and daughters to get some halal food while we look around for houses. Let me tell you all something….this is by far the BEST food I’ve ever eaten in my life. The flavor, the serving size was just out of this world! It is hard to find this kind of food and this place is going to be the reason we move. I don’t think I want to cook again lol. The staff was so attentive and nice and made us feel so welcome. It gave me such a good feeling about the city overall. I’m sure the entire menu is delicious but you guys need to try the oxtail with rice and peas, the stew chicken, jerk chicken , and don’t forget dessert! They have the tastiest lemon cake and coffee cake all made fresh in house. We dined in and it was very cozy, well kept, and clean. I’m counting down the days till we move and I will be back very soon for more!

I recently visited Tropical Delight in Ocala and was impressed by how clean and neat the restaurant looked upon entering. The menu was easy to read, though a few items were missing. The ordering process was quick and smooth, and I was told my jerk chicken meal with roti would take about 10 minutes. To my surprise, it was ready in just 5 minutes, although the restaurant wasn’t too busy at the time.
Once I got home, the food was still piping hot and smelled incredible. The jerk chicken was exceptionally tender, falling right off the bone with amazing flavor. I almost didn’t want to share it with my wife—I’m generally a sharing person, but sometimes there are exceptions! The rice was perfectly portioned and packed with flavor. The only downside for me was the cabbage. It had a bit too much oil, which transferred onto other parts of the meal, slightly affecting the overall taste. Packaging it separately would have likely fixed this issue.
The roti, on the other hand, was soft, hot, and had a nice general flavor with a hint of spice. Overall, I give this meal a solid 4.9 out of 5.0 stars and will definitely be back. My total came to just over $22, which felt reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.

As soon as you walk in you can smell how good the food will taste before you even order. They have produce that is just like Jamaica including some biscuits, candy and drinks that give such a great feeling of nostalgia. The drinks are super refreshing and food is even more amazing. The medium size is more than big enough to take home left overs. The prices are more than reasonable The owner and the chef are very hospitable. The patties have the perfect amount of flavor and crisp to them and juice on the inside, and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing with traditional reggae music in the background. I highly recommend. 💛
