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.

This place was and is amazing . The service , food and vibe was nothing short of perfect. I do appreciate people who understand the importance of not only good service but great food. If your ever in New York this is your place for roti and so much more . Thank you to this beautiful couple that serve us while in there space . It didn’t feel like a resturant and felt like having dinner at love one’s home. Thank you!
The food is fresh and seasoned very well. The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. I tried the curried chicken with rice & peas and cabbage, fried sweet plaintans,and a side of candied yams and enjoyed every bite! Definitely recommend. I will definitely be going back.

Visited Island Bites tonight for dinner and got a large oxtail dinner with rice and peas, fried plantains, collard greens, and an extra side of Mac n Cheese. The portions are amazing. The oxtail was so tender it fell off the bone, and everything was seasoned to perfection. Would recommend and will be coming back!
