See All ReviewsIsland Jamaica Caribbean Restaurant is a great spot for authentic Caribbean food. The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and well seasoned. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere has a laid-back island vibe that makes you want to come back. If you’re craving real Jamaican food done right, this place is definitely worth a visit.
There was only one lady working there when we went. The inside did not look the cleanest and their menu advertised food that they did not have. I ordered curry chicken over rice, green beans, and Mac and cheese, and a piece of cornbread. The green beans tasted like it had been cooked in vinegar, the Mac and cheese was dry and while the chicken tasted good, the curry sauce on top of it was not pleasing to the eye and did not taste the greatest. While the cornbread did taste ok, it was obviously store bought and was warmed in the microwave. Overall I was very disappointed in the food.
I stopped by Island Jamaica and ordered the Oxtail Plate with cabbage and macaroni. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t a good experience for me. The cabbage was bland with little to no seasoning, and the macaroni had a different kind of zesty, sour cheese taste that I didn’t care for at all. The oxtails were tender, but the flavor wasn’t great either. For $20+ (with no drink included), I really expected better. I had wanted rice instead of cabbage, but it wasn’t ready when they opened—same with another item I asked about. The setup inside wasn’t very presentable (though not terrible), and the atmosphere wasn’t the best. On the positive side, the customer service was decent. I love Jamaican food, but sadly this isn’t a place I’d go back to or recommend.
