We had the lunch specials; chicken curry & ox tail stew. We came in at 11:30 and waited till about 12noon when everything was ready. It was worth the wait! The chicken curry was tasty with white & dark meat, some potatoes and chickpeas. I ordered my with roti. The oxtail was also prepared fresh and flavorful. Not too salty. The meat was tender and it came with carrots onions. We would go back again! Thank you Island Express.

Delicious lunch special. This fast casual spot caught my eye. Everything looked good to me but I wasn’t sure what to order, so I asked the server to make it like he was eating it. I wound up with BBQ chicken on white rice with chickpeas, and every bite was savory. For <$10, this spot is a great bargain if you’re on the move. The spacious table and clean atmosphere was super welcoming too.

I’m unsure when but I think they recently changed their containers to a smaller black plastic ones. I usually order the rice & peas with pepper pot. I guess they also changed the menu because I had to get sides? So I chose the plantain & okra, they barely had plantains, was embarrassing so I told him it’s fine, no plantains & then he put back rice from my bowl back into the pot to make room for the pepper pot, I was so disgusted & annoyed I had to walk out. I’ll try again next time.

I got curry chicken (wished the chicken had more flavor) and white rice (the rice sucked) - and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

This is the best Caribbean restaurant that I visit on a regular.This family business is very customer oriented and values customer satisfaction as their #1 priority.I live in Harlem NYC and whenever I call and order dishes,I can request that they freeze for me until I show up in Brooklyn the next day to pickup.The food & the staff is great,they address me by my name and a big smile when ever I show up. See you tomorrow for my cornmeal porridge that I ordered for my breakfast @ home next week.

I ordered delivery of Jamaican beef pattie in cocoa bread, and received stale, hard butterflap in place of the cocoa bread. When I called to complain, the man who took the call was very rude. He told me that it was a Guyanese restaurant, and that butterfly was the same as Jamaican cocoa bread Not so!!! By the way, I am a Guyanese, but because of his rude attitude, I will never support that restaurant sgain.
Absolutely love this place! Food is excellent and the establishment is super clean. Food is always fresh and very kind staff. I was shocked at how inexpensive the pricing is. This will be my new go to spot for when I’m in the area.

Something seemed off about the guys vibe who handled my food because he had a “I don’t care “, type of attitude. I just threw up after eating their food it never happened before . I had food poisoning from them. 👎🏾 Probably selling expired food or he didn’t like me or something.
