This is a great carribean restaurant for those who enjoy well done west indian food like myself

Happy to have stumbled upon this place. The quality was good but not the best representation we've tried. Staff members maintained superior service standards. The standard scale fails this restaurant. You might want to visit this restaurant.

Every aspect of my time there felt special. The team has a level of beauty that's apparent. Each dish represents quality ingredients. Nice staff plus good food equals a winning combo. I couldn't find any imperfections.

This place earns absolute marks. I was content with how much food I received. The good reputation is justified here. Service at this restaurant stands out. The employees delivered attentive care, making me want to come back.

Such good, tasty food! I love that with the medium meal you get to choose two sides. For someone that likes more veggies, it was a perfect meal combo. Everything perfectly seasoned and delicious. Great value/affordable with small, medium and large meal sizes. Efficient service. Curry chicken so good! Will definitely be back thank you!

If you're in Manhattan, you need to check out Island Bites. This small spot packs a huge punch!
The food is genuinely great. I devoured the oxtail and rice and beans with spinach, and their Haitian Patty (a fantastic savory pastry I tried for the first time). Beyond the delicious dishes, the service was fabulous. Jason was incredibly helpful, taking time to explain the menu and even offering samples before I ordered. That's customer service done right! Highly recommend.

Not what I was expecting from authentic Caribbean food but it was decent maybe I'll try something else next time but the guy that helped me was nice

Immediately yes. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of food. I had the goat roti, stew chicken, rice and peas, and carrot cake. If you are in the area, you should order from here. Prices are great too. I will be returning.

I was looking for delicious roti in Manhattan, and a friend recommended island bites. The staff here is super friendly! Here, they make Roti on Friday and sat, and boy, it is tasty!! The pepper sauce is amazing if you like spice and everything is cooked fresh to order. If you want a great roti, head here. Also, throughout the week, they have their regular menu, which is delicious, vegetarian friendly, and full of flavor! Meet me at island bites on Friday! ????

Disappointed after reading all the reviews I was looking forward to a good meal. The oxtails were tasteless and burnt. The rice had a funny taste to it as well. The best thing on my plate was the collard greens.
