Ava's Island Café is a hidden gem serving delicious Jamaican cuisine. The café offers authentic flavors and great service, making it a must-visit spot. With freshly made dishes, including jerk chicken and beans and rice, this café is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. The ox tail and sides are amazing, and the smoked Jerk Chicken and Jerk Shrimp are standouts. The rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains are also on point.
Customers praise the café's fresh ingredients and yummy meals. The jerk chicken, ox tail, and goat are described as moist and succulent, with good seasoning. The cabbage and rice can be a bit bland, but the plantains provide a nice sweet ending to the meal. The shrimp curry is also a hit, and the carrot cake is the "icing on the cake." Visitors enjoy the authentic Jamaican flavors and the family-owned atmosphere.
