This is the best Caribbean food in NYC. Chris is an amazing Chef and the oxtail and curry chicken is amazing.

The food is outstanding!!! You’ve got to get there early if you’re getting the goat curry… it sells out quickly (and for good reason)! Everything is incredible on the menu

AMAZING! from start to finish, chef (and owner) should be on one of the Food Network shows. Not only is he personable and kind but his food is ridiculously delicious, jerk chicken wings, oxtail and macaroni and cheese (oh my), save room for dessert, which their mom makes, insane cheesecake with a pineapple crust and warm guava syrup over the top. WOW! What a meal! What a gifted chef and beautiful family run establishment this is. True soulful home cooking at its finest.
Stopped in because the sign said happy hour and wanted to support a black business. $10 rum punch was amazing! Thank you to Kirsten for making us feel at home!

We have know The Islands for close to 20 years and still love their food. We remember when they were a hole in the wall close to Eastern Parkway. Still the best!

This used to be my favorite spot for Jamaican food but I will have to now look elsewhere. We were told to wait 15 mins outside (group of 4), and so we did. Then we came back and sat down. The table was dirty. Server took forever to come. When he did come, he mumbled something in a lecturing / attitude tone as he cleaned it. Then he never came back to take our order as we waited forever so we decided to leave. He saw as we walked out and didnt even bother to offer an apology. It felt extremely unwelcoming so will not be coming back here due to the horrible service. A shame because the food is really good.
