After researching carribean foods in Brighton . I planned a day out with friends last week and surprised them with what I call this lovely hideaway.
Once upstairs, I saw my idea of a relaxing oasis, good music,good food, and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were very accommodating and true professionals . The food was authentic and flavoursome. I was so impressed I returned back this week, and I was greeted with the same vibe.
I believe if you attend on a Thursday everything you order, you are charged only 50% of the bill, trust me it was worth it.
I would recommend this place for anyone who loves reggae music, jerk chicken, and cocktails.
First time trying Jamaican food, came to Ollies on the recommendation of a friend and cannot praise it enough!! Food was mindblowing, location is gorgeous and staff are so helpful and friendly. What a phenomenal place to eat, will be back next time I’m in Brighton!
WOW!! I had the jerk chicken rice and peas with coleslaw, good quality chicken well seasoned cooked to perfection. Rice and peas well made nice and soft. Homemade coleslaw was fantastic, washed it down with an amazing cocktail. Service was outstanding, the restaurant was well cleaned and smelling beautiful. Definitely a feel good feeling and vibe in Ollies. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.
Went in for a cocktail and we were seated pretty much right away. Told to use buzzer on table to order but after sitting there for 10 minutes I went to the bar. The team seemed very understaffed.
Drinks were nice. We did not eat.
Everything was clean.
Loved the vibe here, friendly staff who made delicious cocktails. The food was amazing, the jerk sauce didn't seem to have any spice which was disappointing but it was still delicious.
Drinks fab
Food was amazing
Staff lovely
Very happy and can’t wait to come back!
Went for the platter and the jerk and macaroni cheese was on the point, the pork belly burnt tips also have to be mentioned as they were lovely. Only downside was we had to wait 30 minutes for our drinks which was annoying however the Mango Martini is highly recommended. Descent spot.
Food was great! I went there for lunch so it was quiet I would love to return in the evening as I am sure atmosphere would be a lot better. Lovely location too.
Staff at Ollie’s were so nice and friendly. Bar staff very bubbly! He was able to make a drink to my fancy, and let me tell you - it was amazing! (Not sure of the name but it was so tasty!)
My friend and I opted in for the curry goat, jerk pork, Mac and cheese and calamari.. trust me, they did not miss on the flavouring, spice and taste. They’ve got something for everyone and even the fussy eaters.
If you’re looking for somewhere in Brighton for nice tasty Jamaican food, then this is the place for sure.

Having Dinner at Ollie's was the best decision me and my friend made to close our day trip to Brighton, before heading back home to London!!!
I cannot fault anything that we ordered. From the fragrant Rice and Peas, to the Fresh Salad and Coleslaw to the Creamy Mac and Cheese.The chicken was cooked to perfection, very well seasoned and fell off the bone effortlessly. Blown away!!!
I have been to many and I mean mannnyyyy restaurants and takeaways that sale Caribbean food. Rarely anyone ever gets the whole menu right. Ollie's is a definite Top Contender in my TOP 5!
When I'm in Brighton again I will definitely be eating here again.
