Chez Olga LLC

One of the best meals I've had in a while. Perfect spice, flavor, and atmosphere. The owner/cook is so so sweet and funny and obviously a killer chef. We got the beef and chicken pate as well as the jerk chicken. I cannot recommend these dishes enough. The chicken was crisp and juicy with the perfect amount of heat and flavor with delicious beans and rice. The pate came with a tangy strawberry sauce that really perfected an already tasty dish. This place is definitely a classic for a reason.

In Grand Rapids for a short work trip and discovered this amazing family owned spot. The food is SO fresh and you can tell it’s made with love. I’m so happy I stopped in and would recommend anyone to come!

True Caribbean food, that's it. No-frills juices and food that you can't stop mowing down even after you feel full. Since it's a mother-daughter duo handling it all, there might be a wait time. But it is absolutely 110% worth it.

I love it all, i love coming here with my boyfriend, ever since he showed me this place all i have wanted to do is eat here. Her plates are always looking so perfect and tasting perfect. Keep up the yummy and hearty meals!

If you're in Grand Rapids, you HAVE to visit this place. Fun fact: We actually drive an hour and make it a trip here to taste Olga's food. It's not any kind of Caribbean food--it's Olga's food. Everything is made fresh from scratch (you'll hear her cooking!). Really tasty and on point. If you like spicy food, I recommend heat level to 3 or 4. All the food is great (we have tried most of them), but the top 3 are: 1) Goat curry (see pic) 2) Jerk chicken (not in picture) 3) Fried pork (which comes with the plantains and the spicy coleslaw). The plantains are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Caribbean curries are bit different from Thai, Indian, or East Asian (Korean/Japanese). The "scent" of curry is milder in my opinion (in comparison to garam masala), but the flavor is earthy and rich. I believe the heat is from scotch bonnet. Also, Olga's coleslaw is amazing! It has the perfect amount of salt, spice, and vinegar. She even gave me extra since I loved it so much ❤️ (THANK YOU!!). Free parking in the back. I recommend you to come during lunch time, during the week, if you can to avoid the crowd. Also, please don't rush Chef Olga when she's cooking. She's making a homemade style food for you with lots of love.

WOW!!! This place is incredible. The service was fantastic. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, the restaurant itself is small, but you have lots of space still, and the FOOD. OH MY GOD THE FOOD. Incredible. 10/10. We started with the sampler platter which is literally what dreams are made of. For our main dishes my husband got the lamb curry level 2 & I got the jerk chicken level 4- they were perfect. Today we had our leftovers for lunch and I’m sad they’re gone!! I cannot WAIT to go back. Also, BYOB- heck yes! Definitely visit this restaurant

Amazing food! Best I’ve had in Grand Rapids. Big plus - a lot of coconut milk is used instead of butter and egg, for my family that was awesome. Main dishes are great but I’d still recommend the sampler tray to start.

Chez Olga is a gem and her restaurant is nestled in one of the most unique buildings I’ve ever been in. Try the sample platter- lots of powerful tastes in that dish and you won’t regret it. Portion sizes are big here and the food is delicious. Service is a bit slow but it’s part of the experience- the Caribbean time warp!
