I went in to see what Caribbean goodies they had. Talked to Mark a bit about when I lived in Trinidad he said Doubles! I can make you some. I special ordered some for my whole family after talking up doubles for a whole year. Mark was got them done! They are the closest to what I remember and my family absolutely loved them! Thank you so much Mark for making this happen. We are big fans and will be back for some jerk chicken
We stopped in because we saw a sign for Jamaican beef patties and we were not disappointed! They are amazing. We were only in Penticton for 5 days and ended up going 3 times.
Cute little place that is kind of hidden in the building. Amazing Jamaican beef patties, you have to try them!
My girlfriend and I came to Penticton for the week and maybe it was the sunshine or maybe it was the beach, but something had us craving Caribbean food. Luckily we found Mr Mark’s because I can say without a doubt it was the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had, and trust me, I’ve had A LOT. Not only was the food amazing, but Mr Mark himself was friendly, funny and very kind. If you’re in Penticton and you’re feeling that same island vibe, definitely go see Mr Mark. You won’t be disappointed. OH and don’t forget the hot sauce! It’s so good you’ll want to drink it out the bottle!
I went for Jamaican patties, but they said they just sold the last 3 to the last customer. Then I decided to go with lamb curry, which I was told was fresh and got take out. I live close by and had it within next few minutes, it was microwaved. The middle of the container and bottom was frozen cold, just the top was warm. Very disappointing, step it up guys and take pride in your food.
Was lucky enough to make it here as we were only passing by Penticton. We got the ox-tail with rice, jerk chicken with rice, jerk chicken poutine, and the last order of goat curry to share between the 4 of us. We ordered everything medium spicy and it was perfect. Flavours were delicious and authentic. Thank you for the wonderful food Mr. Mark, we'll be back again next year.
For the last three years we have been trying to eat at this restaurant. But due to unforeseen circumstances such as the pandemic and a shortage of food/staff, it was only recently that we finally got our Carribean food craving while visiting Penticton! There are two locations, but the one across from Skaha lake is the main spot and best one to visit. Mark and Denise are super nice and down to earth, and I love being able to support a local restaurant. I really wanted to try the oxtail but it was not available. I think you actually have to call a few days ahead of time to ask or request it. It also depends on if the needed ingredients are in stock. My boyfriend and I ended up getting a jerk chicken each. It was delicious and definitely made with love. Mark's jerk sauce was boiled down so it was more like a gravy and it was full of flavor. We visit Penticton often and will be back!
Fooooood is very authentic and full of flavors. Love the Jamaican Patty's (full of filling and not oily at all) and we got the Jerk Chicken with rice and beans and it was amazing 👌 During off season they are located at 1439 Main St. which is about 8 minutes away and Mr.Mark mentioned that both location is open during the summer
Our regular stop when we come to Penticton! The owners are so sweet and the food is incredible.
Imagine you died and went to heaven and in heaven they had Caribbean food. It wouldn t be as good as Mr Marks.
Jamaican Patties to die for and hot sauce is one of the best . Marc is awesome
This is the best Jamaican beef patty I ve ever had!
Wonderful to meet Mark. Great patties, great jerk chicken Poutine. I will be back
Everytime i go to the mall location, they never had veggie patties, i made a request Wednesday to have some on Thursday, they said yes, when i went in, they didnt have any. Tired of never being able to order what i want. Do not reccomend if ur looking for vegetarian options
Today i got the Jerk Chicken Poutine in the food court at Cherrylane Mall. It was delicious! Full of flavour! Perfect heat level! If you can take some spice/heat definitely recommend! Very goods food!
Drove across town only for it to be closed at 3:30pm
Got my wife the beef patty and soup, for $10 it was extremely good value. Good food, good flavor!
Wonderful food and a gem of an owner!
The best Jerk chicken I have had in recent times! Jerk chicken and curried chicken with rice were amazing. Wonderful customer service!
Best jamican paddies in Canada & the 911 sauce is the best hot sauce around .
After a dozen tries this business has never been open during their hours posted online. Bad business. I was really looking forward to trying their food.
Amazing food
We ordered two Patties and Jerk Chicken and rice. The parties are soooooooo delicious and filling filled all the way to the tip. No greasy at all. Just right. Jerk chicken is something I have never tasted before. Spicy delicious sauce and very juicy and tender chicken and love the rice and beans as well. Everything was so good and very filling. We are so happy.
This place is perfectly situated right on the lake. Reminiscent of a cove in Jamaica.
Mr. Mark s is authentically Jamaican. Mr. Mark is very friendly and a great chef. The food was delicious. Highly recommend this place. We were visiting from Florida. Loved our experience. He even offered cold water for our furry friend.
Place rules. Parents live in Penticton so have been to tons of restaurants here & this is my first review. Great food, owner is amped to share Jamaican culture and it is contagious in the best of ways. Amazing Jamaican sodas including a unique malt soda and the best ginger beer Ive had in over a decade. We had the jerk chicken poutine and a couple patties.
Yummm, Patties were so tasty. Tried the beef and veggie and both were delicious.
Best vibes and food around
the best jerk chicken poutine and jamaican patties ive ever tried 10/10
Most amazing jerk chicken poutine. Patties were delicious. Amazing people.
Awesome jerk chicken and jerk chicken patties. Awesome Jamaica patties too..
Authentic flavourful satisfying Jamaican food. Whats not to love!
Love the heat ..
They have another location by little ceasars!!! The owner Mark is delightful and can make a mean jerk chicken, it isnt exactly like in Jamaica but it is the closest ive ever tasted and trust me Ive looked!!
I can never eat store bought patties again.
Jerk Chicken was really good. The rice was good. Overall I have already been back! He s got some cool soda also. Totally worth it.
This is a must stop in Penticton. Best Jamaican patties. Mark was right better than right of Jamaica.
The curry goat withe rice and beans is delicious, I can t wait to come back and try the jerk chicken patties! 10/10 :)
The jerk chicken poutine is delicious & my hubby is addicted to the jerk chicken plate. Spices are so good & the owner is a great guy. Go show them some love!
Being Married to a Trini, we love our Carribean foods. Jerk Chicken , Poutines, Jamaican Sorrel, & Ginger Sodas. Too Good! Easiest if you are travelling toward Penticton - (Right in out access )- I for 1 am so glad I turned left into this hidden treasure. Thanks Mark!
Bloody amazing. So good
Highly recommend this place for authentic Carribean. I arrived early on a Thursday and was promptly greeted by the owner, Mark. He makes everything by hand. I had the Jamaican beef patty and their goat curry. Both were absolutely amazing. The flavours and spice were both just unreal. The goat curry came with bones, and I had some bone marrow as well - just WOWW!! I would highly recommend stopping by this little hole-in-the-wall business. Parking: Roughly 15 parking spots shared between 5 or so businesses
Just got to try this place today, and I cannot stop thinking about how tasty and fantastic the Jerk chicken wings I had today! So flavourful and delicious nice and juicy and cooked to perfection! Highly recommend checking this wonderful place!
Wish I could give Mr Mark 10 stars!! Absolutely delicious and authentic Jamaican food - just what weve been looking for in the Okanagan. And what a great guy, so friendly and fun to be around whilst he made all the food fresh to order, including the patties. He even makes his own jerk sauce! I ordered the jerk chicken poutine and it was to die for, with just the right amount of heat! Great spot to slow down and chill out with a great view of Skaha Lake watching planes landing. His other store by Little Caesars stays open during the off season so we will absolutely be customers for life! Thanks again Mr Mark for the lessons in eating patties the right way, when theyre piping hot hahaha Vegetarian options: Veggie patty was great Parking: 30 minute parking
Not one of the best but the best Ever had, highly recommended!!
The best curry goat and jerk chicken I ve ever had since I moved to BC from Toronto. I will come back again whenever we re in town.
Great food and excellent service salute
1st time eating at Mr. Mark s and it was fabulous! The jerk chicken was amazing . just like I had it in Jamaica. Will definitely be returning!
You cannot go wrong eating at Marks, great food, wicked vibes, and super affordable. Cannot recommend enough.
SO GOOD! I cant wait to be back. The beef patty was perfect. The flavor was next level. Dont pass up on the Jamaican 911 hot sauce they sell too, I wish I bought 2. The man who runs it is so friendly too :)
The food and hot sauce was crazy good!!!!
The food here is amazing!
We came here once to try it and omg the jerk chicken pouting is amazing and addicting!!! We keep coming back!!! Its a must try!!!!
Incredible Caribbean food and amazing service
The food was full of flavor and the Jamaican patties had a nice kick to them!
1st class Jamacian taste! Patties are the best! Hits sauce Capitial of BC!
We recently moved to Penticton from Surrey, BC and love Jamaican patties. We were so happy to see that we were able to get them at Mr. Marks Caribbean Foods. Mark is very friendly & his patties did not disappoint. We like spice & these delivered big time! We will definitely be regular customers & highly recommend his restaurant.
Very disappointed, bland food, bad customer service and not a good value.
Terrible food, bland and boring, literally had to wait for 1.5 hrs for him to tell us that he had not made the food we ordered for. Also considering the small amount of food we wanted the price was a joke
Patties are amazing pepper sauce is nice and hot with tons of flavor will be back once a week atleast
No other words then Fantastic!! Will definitely be stopping by the new place on Fairview once its open.
Best poutine in okanagan!
The best Jamaican patties!
My son and husband LOVED the Jerk Chicken Poutine here. We had to make a special stop and wait for Mark to open up, so that my son could have it one more time before the drive back to Vancouver. Fun location right along the beach.
Soooooo good, Jerk Chicken and Rice was Spectacular call ahead and order is best
Best Jamaican patties I ve ever had!
Amazing food best patti and poutine I have ever had!! Amazing owner too.
The jerk chicken poutine is fantastic, make sure to ask for hot sauce on the side for extra flames.
Loving the location at Apex Mountain Resort!
Great food, great sauces, great guy! Always worth a detour!
Had spicy chicken dish. Very tasty. Will return for that and icecream next door
Had the Jerk chicken poutine and curry goat - both delicious. Great food and great guy. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing home made burgers and fresh fries. Mr Mark the best jerk sauce and hot sauce I have ever tasted. I buy 2-3 jars at a time.

Best Jamaican food in the Okangan
The best!!!! They were super nice and the food was so delicious!!! We went there a few minutes after closing and the owner decided that we don t have to be closed. So he made us food, and let us hang out for a bit... Also the hot sauce
One of the best hot sauces Ive ever had! Mark is an awesome guy with a great singing voice!
