One Luv Cafe ATL We are CASHLESS!! We accept card, Apple Pay & good pay @ our self serve kiosks!

To call One Luv Cafe a hidden gem would be an understatement. The Caribbean restaurant sits on a strange, triangular block in the middle of nowhere. The only way we would've known it existed was that our route to midtown would regularly take us by it. After the umpteenth time, we finally decided to park and check it out. To order, you'll need to use one of the two tablets that are set up. We chose a chicken and shrimp curry combo plate, with plantains as the side, along with a side of jerk chicken and a beef patty. Then, we grabbed one of the few tables and chairs available (there are a few more outside) to wait for our meal. While we waited, we kept sneaking glances into the kitchen window where we could both see and smell food being freshly prepared. Ten minutes later, a smiling woman brought us our platters, all looking hot and tasty atop their own banana leaves. The curry and jerk chicken were flavorsome and punchy. We were surprised at how spicy the jerk chicken was, but I also appreciated that the cooks hadn't pulled their punches with the spices to deliver a more authentic meal. The plantains were the surprising star of the show, with all kinds of grilled char that made it especially tasty. I also haven't been able to find a better beef patty outside my hometown of Brooklyn, so please try one if you come here. Our only misgiving was the size of the meat-only offerings, which felt fairly pricey for the cup of meat that arrived at our table. If you're interested in trying multiple proteins, I say swing for the platters, which feel like a better value since it includes rice and a side (try the plantains!). Service was quick, friendly, and relatively unobtrusive. Our server checked in on us just twice - once to deliver the meal, and again later to pick up our empty plates (it was all I could do to not lick them clean). Street parking is a little tough, but there's a small parking lot off to the side of the restaurant, right by the smoking grill where some of this yumminess is presumably prepared.

Perfect stop to get lunch for the day. Everything I had was perfect. Good seasoning on the jerk chicken & cabbage. The beef pattie was perfect almost like a butter flakey sensation😂. There where so nice in there, you can’t go wrong with this restaurant💯

FEBRUARY 27th - Dined in. Absolutely LOVED it! I just need the person who makes the banana pudding to keep them STOCKED! That NANA PUDDIN is DELICIOUS! JANUARY 31st - From my Facebook page. About lunch...SMH. I thought Jamaican Taste was the spot...but HONTEE. I will travel from Lovejoy all the way to Hollywood Road on my off day for this tasty VEGAN food... crutches and all!😋 and the banana pudding...this NANA pudding is like no other 🥰🥰🥰🥰 if you haven't tried ONE LUV CAFE...GIT THERE. You have to order your food on a computer inside the cafe...Honey, it was a little challenging. I told the nice lady we need a Certificate of Completion after that experience. My colleague told her..."We need a training class for this" I think I'll listen to my Reggae playlist on the drive home. I have plenty left over. #YeahMon

I am utterly speechless. I have no idea what I ate. I ordered the oxtail and rice and peas with fried plantain. The food was downright tasteless and soggy. An absolute waste of $30. It was so terrible that I couldn't even eat the fried plantain. I had to trash the whole food. I just hope this is not the norm for this restaurant; perhaps I visited on a bad day. So, I will try again and visit hopefully soon. Food Presentation: 2/10 Food Taste: 1/10 Atmosphere: 3/10 Service: 5/10 I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Sitting outside wasting $20 my beef patty is so thin barely has any meat inside my coco bread I paid $4 was rock hard frozen at the bottom. Not to mention I’m starving. I won’t be returning the yams were vegan but also not worth what I’ve paid!

This place tastes like home to me!!! I've been dreaming about island breezes and this over-the-top jerk shrimp since I visited this place for lunch last weekend. The food is overflowing with flavor and love! And it's such a cute, vibrant restaurant. Can't wait to come back!

If I could throw this food on the floor I would, this was absolutely horrible!! From the pasta Mac n cheese to the tasteless collards to the pre made oxtail sauce to the greasy old beef patty! This is definitely not authentic or even close to being Jamaican food! I would never recommend this place and everyone who has rated this place 4+ plus stars obviously has never had Jamaican food!! Did I mention how awful the Mac n cheese is!! I’m sorry please stop scamming people! As a person who often eats this cuisine, this is so sad. New recipes are definitely necessary for the Mac n cheese, gravy, and collards. As a small business sometimes you have to take the loss, don’t serve old Patties. Presentation was okay on the entrees and they followed instructions.

This is such a conveniently located spot. We sat outside and vibed to the music. The service was really good and the food choices were top tier. The food was amazing!

Wanted some food food for lunch so I ordered only online , waited 30 mins and got my food. Please realize this is made to order dine spot and not a fast food chain. This is made fresh so it'll take some time , unless you have time to wait. I got the lunch special , curry shrimp , rice and cabbages 10/10

I've been trying to find good Jamaican restaurants in ATL. This place has been on my list for some time. I'm Caribbean so my expectations are high. The place is cute and in an accessible location. The portions are filling which is good, but the food itself is mid. Could use a lot more seasoning and spice (at least for the jerk chicken and rice and peas). The chicken patty was good though.

Featured Items: Jerk Chicken & Shrimp Jerk Mushrooms Mac and cheese Curry Chicken and Shrimp Sautéed Kale Oxtails w/Rice Plantains Beef Patty and Spinach Patty Everything was banging ! Service was great and the vibe was chill! Great spot

The "wild caught" salmon and shrimp is salty and the salmon is not wild caught. The shrimp tacos lacks flavor. Could have made these at home. Way overpriced!

Must order via a kiosk, no cash accepted. Customer service could have been a little better. Beef patties were spicy but delicious.

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. If your in the mood for carribean food, go somewhere else. I ordered curry chicken and Plantain. I'm not sure what type of sauce that was but it was Not curry and it lacked any real flavor. The plantain was burnt and uneatable. I wish I would've opened the boxes before I got home because I was throughly pissed that I spent $25 on food I couldn't eat. Ordering from a kiosk while standing in the restaurants absolves the owners from engaging with the customers and the lack of customer service is reflected in the quality of the food.

Why is it SO hard to find good caribbean food here??? Well just know, this is a legit spot. Flavorful, delicious, good portion size and great value. I had the curry shrimp and candy yams and lawddddd dat plate ah mek mi grin all nite! Recmend this spot and will be back. A few parking spots on the side and some outdoor tables as well.

The location is in a pretty interesting place, it divides two roads with heavy traffic but thankfully there's parking on the side. The inside is well decorated and for such a small place there's plenty of seating. When you walk in you are greeted with a kiosk to order, honestly I like ordering with a person especially when trying new places so I was kinda taken aback but thankfully an employee came up to us and recommended plenty of options. My husband is vegetarian, he had plenty of options and he says that the jerk Mushrooms were the highlight of his meal. I got the curry with chicken and shrimp, it was $20 and even though you get a large portion size, I was kinda disappointed in the lack of flavor. The yellow rice tasted plain and mac and cheese felt a little like krafts. The chicken and shrimp were cooked to perfection especially since they cook those as you order so there was a 10-15 minute wait. Yet comparing it to other Caribbean restaurants, the flavors didn't meet my expectations.

My friend and I want a little pick me up and decided to come here. Now I understand there was an event but I place 3 orders of plantains and they gave us no where near what I paid for which wasn't cool. The server put all three orders in one box (my inner voice told me to check before I leave but I didn't) when my friends and I got to the house we saw how they cheated us! Messed up! And they don't strain their sorrel talking about it's what makes them "unique" aka plan lazy. If you know, you know and I have NEVER had sorrel with the flowers still in it. No, I don't recommend this place.

My first yelp review in a long time and it sucks that it has to be negative. I don't know if I'm more hurt that the curry shrimp had no taste or that I was charged $26 for this. I did ask instead of tortilla to put it on coco bread which I paid extra for but that got ignored. I know if it was me I would of never let this out the kitchen. I give it a one star because even though the young lady knew this was unacceptable she did have great customer service.

This place is small in west midtown, but we have always had our eye on it! My fiancé absolutely loved it and will probably go back. Unfortunately I was not the biggest fan of it. Too many bones in the chicken and there wasn't enough flavor for me. The bright side was the mac and cheese for me and that was just a small side. Portions are large so splitting one box with two people is plenty!! The desert.... the star and the best peach cobbler cheesecake I've EVER had. This is why you should go to one luv is for this desert. It was to die for. There was a lot of cobbler and the cheesecake was perfection.

Food was delicious, the ingredients are fresh. Sandra was more than helpful in answering all our many questions. If you in the area, stop by or make the trip it's worth the drive.

My husband picked us up dinner. The curry chicken earned them two stars. The shrimp (curry) was bland and the jerk was super dry. The thing that drove me to the review is my rice tastes like the coconut milk may have turned. I will say I love supporting Black businesses and will return but just bringing truth to reality.

One Luv was nice and quaint. Nothing fancy. Overall the food was good, but I wanted more flavor in my curry chicken. My 8 year old son said that the Pattie's were the best.. that says a lot because he loves Patties . We must've gotten there as they were wrapping up for the evening bc some of the things were not available, but the employee was very accommodating. Would I return? Yes!! It's walking distance to my moms house and there's simple outdoor seating for us to chill.

This restaurant consistently provides great customer service and delicious food that tastes like it's made with love from your fav auntie's kitchen. Definitely a neighborhood fav! Jerk chicken, brown stew and Mac n cheese never disappoint.

They had no foood whatsoever. No patties no ox tails no curry. No rice. Nada. I was highly disappointed in a Jamaican establishment located in ATL of all places

The food was bland and terrible. A waste of my money. I couldn't taste any seasoning on the chicken or rice. I will not buy from here again.

Great Service,London gave me fast an efficient service,Authentic Jamaican Food. Right around the corner from my crib SO Clutch

As a first timer and someone visiting from out of state it was pretty good. The customer service was amazing. I was offered samples to try items. I ended up ordering the jerk shrimp it was definitely jerk lol (super spicy) over yellow rice with cabbage. It was very flavorful and overall I enjoyed it. I would definitely order it again if I'm in town.

That curry chicken was dang delightful! I'll definitely be back. Online ordering is easy and you can just pick up and go! No waiting required!

beef patties are delicious!! not too spicy and give all the notes of handmade fresh! the stew chicken did have plenty bones but plenty meat to get me nice and full- and they definitely know there way around rice and peas 12/10 from me

The food is amazing, I had brown stew chicken with rice and peas. I felt like I was back home. The energy from the music was very Caribbean. They let me sample the food before I ordered which was very helpful.

lol! I don't remember going there, so I can't say yea or na. That would not be fair for the business or the patrons.

I ordered the vegan wrap and it was sooooo good! It's filled with so many delicious sides like rice and peas and plantains etc. and you also get an additional side with it. I got the Mac and cheese. I really liked the kiosk so I could see the pic of the food and order quickly. Also, there are free samples if you ask. It has a very homey feeling inside !

This small establishment is on the corner of Bolton & Hollywood rd. My stomping ground lol so I had to try it! Food: I ordered jerk & my friend ordered the oxtails and rice and I will say the jerk was good, my friend said the oxtails wasn't to die for and he wouldn't order again. The Pattie's was good though!!

I love this charming neighborhood spot. The food is delicious. I especially like the jerk chicken, cabbage and sweet potatoes. I want to try more things, but I'm stuck on the jerk chicken meal. I highly recommend One Luv Cafe.

So good! I've been a few times and have had the the Beef and Jerk Chicken Patties, The Sorel Juice and the Jerk Chicken wrap and the Jerk/Curry Chicken combo with yams and Mac & cheese and everything was so delicious and would definitely get any of it again and again. Highly recommend going and getting anything on the menu!

I was a little disappointed in the oxtail stew and rice, but the patty's were sooooo good. The staff was so nice and the ambiance was great too. The seating area outside is definitely the best on a sunny day.

I pass this place a few times a week and finally decided to stop in and try it. Love the vibe of the place. Reminds me of Rick's Cafe in Jamaica minus the beach lol. However the food was sadly not great. The beef pattie was not very good. It wasn't hot and the crust was waayyyy too thick and not flaky at all. The young lady told me it would be spicy and it really wasn't. I also ordered jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage and it was not good at all. The jerk chicken had no flavor and the rice and peas was soup like. I'm Jamaican and this food was not authentic tasting at all. Very disappointing.

Tasty curry chicken and great service. Got a beef patty and coco bread for now and curry chicken for lunch tomorrow. Will certainly be returning!

Arrived on the Saturday after thanksgiving, called too see if they were open and they were but the door was locked one hour after the time listed. After coming in, the music was blaring, lol, they turned it down though. Limited menu items for some reason. I came here specifically for oxtail and cabbage but they don't have it. Big disappointment being that I was looking to have a home cooked meal...... I ordered the curry shrimp which is said to be cooked to order and green beans. Really hoping this tastes great. So I received the shrimp by itself without the sides next to them. The tails on, hate that so much. Not fresh as the guy stated. 5-7 minutes later, a green bean with mash side that I didn't order came in a tiny side dish. I ordered corn. Why did they tell me corn was in stock and post it as available when it's not. The interior is pretty small, colorful and run down. Most definitely never going back. I had high hopes.

Really enjoyed this food. The menu from Uber eats was limited. We ordered the jerk and curry shrimp with two beef patties. The entrees come with cabbage and rice. The cabbage had enough ingredients and spice to make it simply perfectly delicious. The rice was delicious as well. The curry and jerk shrimp were tasty and perfectly seasoned. Overall, really enjoyed the meal, the taste was simple. Not too overpowering that you sometimes get with Caribbean food. Unfortunately, the beef patties were not tasty and even tastes old and crusty. For that reason they got 4 stars but I still plan on ordering from them again. Enjoy!

This is By Far the nastiest Jamaican food I've ever eaten in my life. This food is worse than mangoes in down town Atlanta. The rice is days old. The Mac and cheese is horrible . I'm so mad right now. Then there's no refund, so either you eat this trash or throw it away. I threw it away and went to zaxbys

We used One Luv Cafe for a baby shower for 40 guests. We really appreciate how she accommodated our large order last minute (we missed her original timely response to us and had to beg her to take our order just a few days before the event!!). She accepted and the food was ready on time for pickup and delicious. Given the last minute nature of our request she had to make some modifications (eg fried plantain wasn't possible since she couldn't find enough ripe ones, had to do a different sautéed vegetable), however she still ensured the food was quality and delicious. All of our guests enjoyed it, especially the jerk chicken, yams, and vegetables. Compliments to the chef! (We did also have a couple of Nigerian dishes, but marked those out in the photo so that only the One Luv Cafe items are pictured).

OMG. SOOOOO HAPPY I DECIDED TO COME HERE TODAY. AND YES THIS NEEDED TO BE WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS. It is very rare that I write a review while I'm still eating.. but One Love deserves all of their flowers. I'd like to start off by saying these are the best greens I've ever tasted after my late great mother's! Vivian still has that title but One Love is a close second without a doubt. They were tender but still firm and leafy. They were seasoned well with sweet accents. I wouldn't be surprised if they used mangoes to make them. I made sure to say accent because the sweetness was not overwhelming in the least bit, it was perfect. I also had the brown stew chicken, the fried plantains, and rice & peas. Everything was absolutely excellent. Fried plantains were fried perfectly and I enjoyed everything. 5/5. Highly recommend. Instant favorite and might return this weekend.

This restaurant is one of the worst restaurants I've ever ordered from the food was horrible I wouldn't recommend it for a dog I spent over $200 for Curry chicken meals the food tasted terrible and was not seasoned and was cold.Don't waste your money it's not worth it.

I always pass this place visiting my friend and today I decided to support. The food was great and the presentation was better. What really put the icing on top was the service. Even walking in it felt very welcoming. The aura of the place definitely gave great vibes. I am thoroughly satisfied by the level of cleanliness. This is a great spot and it's affordable. If you're in the area give them some love.

I pass by this place all the time and have been wanting to try it, so I finally decided to. I looked on social media and saw that they were open during the pandemic and I was craving Jamaican food, so I rode over to the restaurant. It was a Thursday evening around 7. When I walked in, one other customer was inside waiting on his food. The seating area is very small and cozy with couches, mismatched tables and chairs, and good music...very quaint and cute. I looked at the menu and ordered the jerk salmon, mac and cheese, and rice and peas; I asked for oxtail gravy on my rice and peas. The cashier told me they were out of oxtails, so I asked if I could get a different side. He obliged and recommended the candied yams, so I went with those and also ordered a beef patty. I paid and he told me it would be a few minutes to cook the patty. The cashier was super friendly and polite...excellent customer service! My food was ready in about 7 minutes, so they brought it to me and I drove home. When I got home and opened the container, I was underwhelmed. The food comes in one container with no dividers, so everything winds up getting mixed together (not too big of a deal to me). The salmon looked frozen like the kind you get out of the bag in the freezer section - I was expecting a thicker cut - and overcooked (which it was) but the flavor was good, the mac and cheese wasn't as cheesy as I'd wished (I was expecting a baked mac with cheese throughout), and the candied yams looked more like regular baked sweet potatoes than actually being "candied." When I opened the box with the beef patty, something smelled kinda burnt. So I flipped over the patty and saw that it was slightly burnt. Luckily, I was able to tear off some of the burnt parts; the patty seemed like your typical frozen patty...nothing special. I had high expectations and really thought One Luv would be a good, hole-in-the-wall Jamaican spot for me. Great customer service and nice vibes, but I was disappointed in the food. I more than likely won't be back.

Great vibes nice and calm , jerk patty was amazing I'm currently diving into a veggie plate

Visited last Sunday with a craving for Caribbean food. I had the jerk Salmon veggie slaw and Mac. Everything although my pic doesn't give it any justice was good. The nice young man there had polite customer service. I did expect more options.

Amazing chill spot great food great vibes have to stop by again when I'm in ATL Curry Chicken

The restaurant is nice visually. The food is Subpar. I was told by the cashier that they only grill the Jerk chicken if they have time and that it was going to be from the oven. The Curry doesn't taste authentic at all. Not worth the money. I really wanted this place to be good.

I got food poisoning from the oxtails. Im a full time chef and I can tell they are selling outdated food

This is probably one of the worst Jamaican meals I ever had. I usually don't go for the jerk plate. But I decided to try it seeming as though it was suppose to be apart of the 8.99 lunch special. Which is very deceptive. Allegedly the lunch special is just rice! You have to pay extra for meat and a side. So the real total came up to $15. Which is the typical price of a meal according to their general menu. Which possibly doesn't contain the rice, you have to pay extra for common meal items. Which doesn't make it a meal at all. Which is absurd. Just rice isn't consider a meal. And the only reason I decided to try this place is due to the attractive meal deal. Beyond the weird miscellaneous pricing. The jerk chicken was horrible. I couldn't even eat around Biter burnt taste of it being extremely charred. I was disappointed at the register paying $15 when I only expected to pay around $10. But the meal itself sealed the deal. It came with a wooden fork, which threw me off. The cook didn't care to close The container properly with all the slop it contained. I wish these new age Jamaican restaurants stayed true to traditional roots. It's has so much potential. But, I won't be back her any time soon, ever!

I tried this spot twice and second time was not a charm. When I went to the cash register to request a refund for terrible service and long wait, I noticed a small sign that stated, "regardless of the circumstances all sales are final and no refunds will be provided. I knew this wasn't going to be good. Furthermore, the greens were too salty, old 1-2 day old jerk chicken was served, and since refunds wasn't provided, I had to wait 1-2 hours for cabbage and undercooked rice + peas to be provided. Please note, I spent nearly $70 for 4 meals and ended up throwing all the food in the trash. Since I had to such a long wait you would think they would've compensated me, but that never happened. Don't waste your money or your time. There are better Jamaican restaurants out there....

Please save your money ... this is an establishment that lacks morals and integrity and likes to take people's money and refuse refunds when they don't have all the items the person ordered. Then tried to force you to try something else when u have dairy allergies and aren't interested in the rest of the options. Maybe God was trying to spare me from eating her as I tried to place an online order and the site would not push it through and told me to contact the restaurant directly in which she told me no over the phone orders.

AMAZING food, especially the beef patties. I have to mention the customer service as well. It was a great experience!

I absolutely love this place! The service was wonderful and the food was fresh and flavorful! Eating this food was like an explosion of flavors in my mouth that was enjoyable! I've told all my friends about this place because it is so worth experiencing time and time again!! If I had 10 stars I would give to One Luv Cafe ATL !!!

So one, everyone was soooo nice and accommodating. It's in a random spot and parking is a little weird so prepare yourself. So now the food, I've had the jerk shrimp, oxtails, Mac and cheese, rice and peas, and cabbage. Everything was super good and flavorful, and the oxtails were huge! My only complaint would be to have more peas in my rice and peas. Other than that, this place definitely deserves to be checked out. Oh, and try the strawberry lemonade, omg lol.
