Ordered the Oxtail with okra and rice and peas. Now I will start by saying the food is delicious, HOWEVER the the portions you get for $18 dollars are pathetic you get 3 little pieces of oxtail with a little gravy for $18!!!! And the tin “plate” is considered a small plate anywhere else. The man scooped the oxtail one by one as opposed to scooping to plate it. The food was delicious but NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!! Go elsewhere to get your moneys worth. $18 for literally 3 pieces of oxtail in a small tin… thank you, NEXT!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Great food but whoever made the roti on 1/15/26 is not the usual person and did not do a good job. To maintain consistent quality please stick with those who know what they are doing or properly train replacements. If i want subpar roti I will stick to Sybil's in Queens.

Paid 21.23 for two bakes with very thin slices of fish. Basically, $11 per bake. Way over priced for what you get. The porridge was nasty. If the fish hadn’t already been put in the bale, I would have walked out. Never again!!

Had more oxtail bones than meat. Flavor was ok but 3 oxtails doesn’t make it worth the $20 for the meal.

This was my first time. I asked the gentleman serving the food what I should get and he suggested curry chicken and roti and it was delicious. I ate the entire meal with my hands as this is customary. I could just eat the roti alone 😋The atmosphere was clean. It’s a very open space with a huge community dining table in the middle and window front seating. Very affordable! I will return to explore the menu further!

I can't go a week without stopping in for my usual order. The staff at Island Express matches the cool vibe perfectly. Each course revealed new heights of culinary skill. It appears family members run this restaurant and are notably hospitable. The spot maintains exceptional quality.

The servers are prompt while the menu offers good variety. The dishes satisfy completely. The energy helps you enjoy your meal. Workers here provided perfectly timed assistance. I want to try their other creations next time.

not sure if there has been a change in their recipe, but the jamaican beef patties used to be so good but i don’t care for them anymore. this is the 3rd time i’ve visited, got more than one patty and they all have been dry, thin & just not good! bring the good juicy patties back please.
also maybe some indication of where the line starts would help. 2 people were served before me while i was standing there waiting for patties.
Everything was flavorful and fresh but the chicken patty was a highlight. Quick service, friendly staff, and ample seating. 100% recommend!

The food is way over priced. I bought 6 roti, only to find 3 in my bag when I got home. I would not recommend this place.

Everytime i come to Bk, I look forward to coming to Island Express for their bakery items. The restaurant is clean, AC is on and the temperature inside is pleasant. Their staff is always great! I was helped by two gentlemen the other day, one of them resembled the late rapper Nipsey Hussle, which they both were so kind and patient as i always get a lot of bakery items each time I go. The other day I was a little disappointed in the cheese rolls, as they were kinda hard and didn't taste fresh like they normally do, everything else was fine and tasted great! I also got a peanut punch which was pretty tasty, maybe a little more nutmeg than what I'd prefer, but still was pretty good.
