Terrible Service. Place closes at 9pm placed an order online which stated they were still open to take orders for a few more moments. They ran out of they type of meat I wanted totally the restaurants issue and instead of contacting me to inquire whether I’d like a different plate of food since they no longer had the type of meal I ordered they decided to cancel my order. Keep in mind if says online contact me I didn’t opt for a refund. Then when I contacted the establishment the person who answered was so nonchalant when I asked why was my order cancelled. Lacking proper customer service and etiquette skills, just showed up to get a paycheck that’s it. I am disappointed and dissatisfied with the service simply put. Then to tell a customer you’re sorry you guys didn’t think to call because your establishment is busy. So customers aren’t what makes the establishment busy? Please make it make sense. You need customers in order to run a business. Please get proper customer service employees.

I love Irie Vybez. It's hard getting good caribbean food in Albany. There is only a select few. Irie Vybez is among that few. Great tasting food. The pepper steak is my favorite. I just bought some liver with fried dumpling and porridge. The front lady was nice and personable. Nice size food portions. Over all one of the best! EDIT: they are still my favorite caribbean restaurant in Albany. The food is just delicious. It's totally worth it! Edit: now you only get one fried dumpling for $2.50! It use to be three fried dumplings for that price. I'm taking a huge break and won't be ordering anytime soon.

This is the second time I’ve used Irie Vybez for special occasions. The first time was in 2018 for my daughter’s high school graduation, and once again in 2026 for my daughter‘s 21st birthday. Overall, the food was very good. I had no problems placing the order, and when it came time to pick up, it was a smooth process. During the second event, several people at the celebration inquired about where the food was made. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Irie Vybez.Vybez.

“Seasoned with what? Regret?” Pulled up expecting flavor, left wondering if my taste buds were broken. Spoiler: they weren’t. The food just didn’t hit!

Full time this place get someone that can cook, this food is not good at all, I hope they improve soon .
The food is never the same. It's like they have 365 chefs cooking with with different recipes. And man, someone really need to teach them how to cook rice.

Review as a delivery driver. Staff can be incredibly rude. As well they will hand out orders without checking causing them to regularly give the wrong orders or just not have your order to pick up and refuse to remake it. They don't answer their phones and they refuse to take accountability for issues when you have doordash, Uber, GrubHub, etc. Reach out to them causing you to loose money and time. If a place isn't equipped for delivery, they should not offer it

Visited on two different weekends. The place is very dirty and needs a team to properly clean it up and paint it. The food is decent however the rice was stuck together and not the usual long grain texture that Jamaican restaurants serve. Both times I visited they were completely out of Oxtails and it was 7:00 in the evening. I got the pepper steak with rice n peas and cabbage with a side of plantains and I can only give it 3 stars because of the rice. This place is very overrated.
