Guava Island Restaurant and Catering

Food was affordable and tasty, they ran out of oxtail if not I will give a 5 star.

For today service, curry chicken and shrimps with rice and beans am impressed. Meal cost me less than $25.

Portion size is large, if you don’t eat a lot you might have to request for a To go box. 😬

Jerk chicken meat was super tough for both the plate and the side order of wings. The sauce was good but you have to slow cook the chicken just to soften the meat at home because it is too tough to eat.

I didn’t like the brown stew chicken but at least the meat was tender which is why I don’t understand why everything jerk was so tough.

Oxtails aren’t the Caribbean oxtails I’m use to. It tasted like meat in regular gravy. I did like the smidget of spice kick in the gravy and the oxtails were actually tender so it wasn’t necessarily a waste of money but there’s ALOT of fat on their oxtails and I hate fat on mine so I wasn’t a fan of that.

Spicy beef patty is the only thing I have no complaints about. Very good.

rice peas weren’t mushy so that was a plus I just wish that I wouldve did the full oxtail plate to put gravy on it and the cabbage since the brown stew was so nasty

My dad and I agree that we won’t be back.

The service was fine and nice, and I don’t leave a lot of reviews but this was a disservice to “Jamaican food”. There was no type of seasoning on anything I got. The cabbage seemed just boiled with no taste. The Mac and cheese seemed like it came out of a store bought container heated up, and the collards were again flavorless and bland. Nothing even had a pinch of salt. The meat was okay at best. Very disappointed in this food.

Curry goat with rice n beans was exceptional, meat was cooked to perfection. Would have been a little better if there were few more pieces of goat meat for that price, other than that must try.

I was in Rocky Mount this weekend for the Down East Classic. We found this restaurant online after the game, and decided to give it a try. When we called we were greeted by a young lady named Jaz✌🏾. She was soooo nice. Because this was our first time eating there, we had a few questions about the menu. She was patient, polite, and very knowledgeable of their products.
After ordering, we proceeded to drive to the restaurant. We could hear the music as we approached the entrance. It was such a great atmosphere. As we entered we were greeted again with a smile and hello from the ladies at the front…one of them being Jaz. The customer service was top tier.
We paid, left, and proceeded back to our hotel to enjoy our food.
Guava Island did NOT disappoint. My oxtails were AMAZING. Not to mention, I got so much food. It was as worth every dime. Keep up the great work team. I will definitely be returning the next time I’m in the Rocky Mount Area!
