Most Disliked
While the overall reception is positive, some visitors have noted that peak hours can lead to longer wait times for service and food during busy dinner periods, especially on weekends. A handful of diners expressed that certain dishes can be a tad spicy, which may not suit everyone’s palate. Occasionally, the restaurant experiences capacity limits, leading to crowded seating during high-traffic times, impacting the total dining experience. Those sensitive to noise might find the bustling atmosphere a bit overwhelming during peak hours, especially on Saturdays.
Some regulars have requested even more variety in the dessert menu, wishing for options that highlight local ingredients or unique Caribbean flavors.

We had such a lovely family lunch. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made it the perfect spot for our meal. Each dish was a real standout, packed with flavour and beautifully presented; every bite was a delight! We left feeling satisfied and happy, already looking forward to the next time we can do it again.

We had a brilliant experience at OTEGA Restaurant & Grill! Tried the Prawn Tempura, Pan-Fried King Prawns, Grilled Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas, and the Curry Goat – everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavour. The prawns were fresh and well-cooked, the jerk chicken was packed with spices, and the goat curry was rich and tasty – a bit spicy, but really enjoyable! Staff were friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Great atmosphere and amazing service. We’ll definitely be back and already recommended it to friends!

I just had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. The food, of course, was the star of the show - freshly made and full of flavour. I tried the goat curry, which was rich and tasty with just the right amount of spice. The portions were generous and the presentation was beautiful. The restaurant itself was pristinely clean and decorated to a high standard. Overall, I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. I'll definitely be back!!!

We went here for dinner tonight to celebrate our anniversary. We ordered starters, mains and desserts and brought our own bottle of wine. Starters were really tasty (we had the calamari and king prawns), didn’t have to wait long for this. For our mains, we ordered the oxtail and goat curry. Both were really good portions, really flavorful and tasty. Our desserts were the cheesecake and chocolate cake with ice cream. The service was really attentive and friendly. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it.
