Island Express Reviews
the food is legit, and the people are friendly. 100% see why they have so many fans.
Stew chicken, cassava pone, and cook-up rice all hit just right. This is a Flatbush must, for me.
Fish was so dry, it wasn’t edible. Did not like the food at all.

Island Express is a welcoming eatery that serves flavorful Caribbean-inspired dishes. Their beef and shrimp patties are a hit, especially with the tangy tamarind sauce. The goat roti with okra is a popular lunch option, and the chicken curry and oxtail stew have also gained attention. The chicken curry features white and dark meat, potatoes, and chickpeas, while the oxtail is tender and flavorful, served with carrots and onions. The salt fish and fish cakes continue to be recommended. The staff is warm and attentive, addressing customers by name and ensuring satisfaction. The spacious interior is clean and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. While prices may have increased, the generous portions and rich flavors make it a great value, especially for lunch specials.
