Bamboo Fire Cafe

A lovely, homey vibe. The food was great, the atmosphere was homely, and our lovely server, Smiley, is the funniest person ever and treated us like family :)

The pepper sauce was amazing!!!!!!!!

Divine goat curry!!! And the lamb chops were also yummy!!!! And great service by Smiley & her Dad and ALL others. I would go back again and again!

Hopefully somebody tells you this place exists because you might not find it on your own, which is a damn shame. Family owned and operated, it's a tiny spot, where you will see multiple generations of family, who cook and serve you food filled with love.

We came in here on a Saturday evening and were the only ones in here at 5:30 PM. The jerk meatballs, the roti with eggplant, the conch fritters… all the appetizers were fantastic. Be prepared for a little bit of heat in your food. The tables are a little bit small, so if you order as much food as we did, you'll have to find a way to figure it out.

I'm not a huge fan of vegetarian meals, but I had no idea coconut fried tofu, could be so spectacular. I was blown away, don't be afraid to order this. We also ordered the oxtail, which was so tender, and in a thick brown spicy with a hint of sweet sauce. The curry goat was fall off the bone. Fantastic. Don't worry if you have to keep ordering , bowls and bowls of rice (you will), they are so happy to accommodate.

As we went through our dinner, the place started to fill up and it was real nice to see that everybody in here was a regular. Obviously the locals know this place, and may want to keep it a secret, the cats out of the bag. If you like Caribbean food, this is not to be missed. You can thank me later.

PS: This is a beer and wine only...

As I approached this rather unassuming, yet quaintly charming cafe, it’s Caribbean vibe and island feel became quite apparent with its colorful decor. Greeted by Donald, I was seated outside amid the cool night’s air which lends to its relaxing ambience.
Each course of the meal presented outdid the one before as myriad tastes literally exploded in my mouth. The meatballs were quite spicy (which I liked), followed by a salad with home-style dressing. My main course which was the braised lamb chops were nicely done to retain the juices, making them very succulent.
They were very attentive and the staff kept checking on me, accompanied by light, easy conversation between each service. I’d definitely visit again whenever I’m in Florida. Kudos to Bamboo Fire Cafe - I truly enjoyed the experience.

Had a great evening here with Smiley taking care of us. Celebrated out friend’s birthday and we loved all the food! I had the oxtail which melted in my mouth. Others had the jerk platter with spicy sauce on the side and it had a kick for sure. Meat was so tender and delicious. We Loved the sangria! (I was so hungry so I didn’t snap photos)

They were so hospitable and made sure we were taken care of. They even gave us complimentary jerk meatballs and rum cake. So refreshing and very rummy!

Not only is the food amazing but the family that owns the restaurant are the kindest people. We ordered 3 entrees and an appetizer (conch fritters, jerk platter, jerk pork, and grouper curry). So unbelievably flavorful and the perfect spice level. The family also gave us complimentary jerk meat balls and rum cake! Also delicious! 10/10 would recommend and already planning my next meal back there.

We came here for dinner early on a Saturday night and it was fantastic! Donald (the owner, I think) took care of our orders. We had conch fritters (delicious!), jerk meatballs, and plantain fries as starters. Donald had brought us a sample of the jerk meatballs and after we tasted them, we wanted more. For dinner, we had the oxtail pepper pot, which I highly recommend, and jerk chicken.

It's a small place but the food is phenomenal. We're definitely coming back again next time we're in the area. We took menus and cards to pass out at our hotel.

I highly recommend this place. Delicious!

Highly recommend for everyone to check this place out. I got the Guyanese chicken, oxtail and I asked to swap out the sweet plantains for tostones. Just the perfect amount of food for two. I almost left this place a four star because service is slow (although they are all extremely nice). It took a long time to get our food but it was worth the wait. We will be back!

Best Caribbean place ever! I loved all the plates I tried tonight. It was raining so we couldn't have the whole outside ambiance, but the food itself was worth it. Service was outstanding. We had tostones with jerk pork as an appetizer and sangria, both exceptional. The tostones were definitely home made, and I mean smashed to order. For entrees we had fried whole snapper, chicken curry with roti, and jerk pork. One of the sides was ocra rice... my friends this was amazing, not just good, AMAZING.

This was a great find for vegan food. The family that owns is it is very friendly. The service was fast & each meal was out of this world delicious! They have a covered outdoor seating area too.

Always looking for a good oxtail recipe and dish, and BFC delivered a great guyanese take on it! It felt like friends were serving us their favorite family recipes, which made it even more special! Lauren (Smiley) and her Father were the sweetest and you can tell they’ve put a lot of heart and soul into the restaurant. ☺

Bamboo fire is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to!! It’s cozy, and everything on the menu is so delicious. Their jerk pork is so tender and flavorful, and their eggplant dip is a MUST HAVE. I recommend this place to everyone I know, and every time I’ve been there, Smiley always takes care of us! She’s an awesome server and makes the experience much more unique :)

What a great find. A family run Caribbean restaurant. If you appreciate amazing home cooked food with a kick you have to come here. Update: brought our daughter here and she is a newly converted fan

Just left the cafe. Amazing meal, oxtail pepperpot and deep fried snapper. Our ocra fried rice and testones were done to perfection. Very friendly atmosphere felt like I was a true guest and getting a home cooked meal but was served professionally. Thanks for the jerk meatballs. Can’t wait to return

I really love the food and the owner, he’s such a nice guy. I ordered vegetarian lomein with tofu and eggplant dip but fried rice and a salad were included in the order. The only thing is it is hard to notice the place from the outside because of the front screen. If you’re ever here, definitely stop in.

Love this place! It was my boyfriend’s first time & he loved it too- a mom and pop atmosphere with delicious food. He is a vegan and there were a lot of plant based options. If you’re not, I highly recommend the oxtail- so tender & flavorful; make sure to specify mild or American spicy rather than Caribbean spicy if you can’t handle too much heat 🌶 Lauren was our server and she was so sweet and hospitable, it felt like we were in somebody’s home. Can’t wait to go back.

The food is fantastic and authentic. Portions are generous, so great to share different dishes. It's a very small place, so make a reservation!

A really great, down to earth restaurant in Palm Beach County. The food is always amazing, the music is always fire, and the owner always brings a smile to my face. I have eaten here every now and then for the past 12 years and they are consistently great, every time. It's even more special to me now because the owner reminds me so much of my father, who was a kind, gentle soul who loved good food and to make people smile. I would go just to watch him in his environment but the food keeps bringing me back anyway. Don't change a thing Bamboo Fire, you're perfect the way you are.
Caveat for people who are in a hurry... the service can sometimes be pretty slow. Please be patient, relax and just enjoy the atmosphere.

The Oxtail Pepperpot and Curry Goat were excellent. Rice, plantains everything was full of flavor and fresh. The place is small and has outdoor seating. Service was good! Our new favorite place!

Food: phenomenal. Service: phenomenal. Atmosphere: phenomenal. Best place for Caribbean food in town!! It's a must do for anyone, tourist or local, in Delray!
