I was out in Pembroke Pines for a computer training class and looked up Lunch Specials near me…read more Islander's Cafe popped up and I'm so happy that I tried it! They have like 5 lunch specials for $6.25 and what an amazing DEAL! I got the Jerk chicken and it was like 2-3 pieces of chicken with half take out container full of rice & peas and a choice of side (I got green beans)...all of it was so yummy! The woman serving up your choice of lunch specials was super sweet and helpful since I didn't know what some of the things were. You also got "gravy" on the rice & peas if you wanted it. I took some gravy from brown stew and it was delicious! A bottle of water was included with lunch special for $6.25...can't find a deal like this anywhere else! I will definitely go back to try another lunch special next time I'm in the area!

Best Haitian food in Broward by far. They make the best griot, it's spiced, seasoned and marinated…read morewell, super juicy and tender. Every time I think about the food here my mouth waters. Plus the customer service is great, they also speak English fluently and will not ever give you a hard time. Also every meal is cooked to order so they take their time to make sure the food is hot and fresh. Also the prices are extremely affordable and well worth the generous and large portions they serve you. If you live in. Broward check this place out! I eat there every time I'm in Hollywood. 5/5, plus the presentation of the food is spot on.

I am writing to share some feedback regarding my recent dining experience at Lalou's Cuisine…read more Overall, the food was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the quality and preparation of the meal. However, I did find the pricing to be quite high relative to the overall value provided ... I mean it's not a regular sit down restaurant where you get served; more like a "take out" place. $75 (tax & tip included) for 2 dishes is a bit much for a take out place. I wanted to share this perspective with you as part of my review of the experience, as I believe it could be helpful for you in your dining consideration.

This is maybe my favorite Jamaican restaurant of all time. I literally visit one of their locations…read moreanytime I'm in Broward county. My favorite dish they serve is the curry goat and that's what I got this time. It was delicious! I've been hooked on it since the first time I tried it 9 years ago. I had a ginger beer to go with my meal. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Jamaican food.

Great place to have a delicious Puerto Rican meal…read more Service was fast and efficient, no wait time when I arrived. Monday evening, holiday. Food was delicious, from appetizer to main entree. Recommendations were made and I went with all of them. Pork belly chunks that were seasoned with salt and pepper, and lemon was added afterward for a little more punch in the flavor. Shrimp creole was delicious. The red beans and rice mix makes you want to keep having more and mixing it all together gives you a flavorful punch in your mouth. Mofongo, aka , masked green plantains are only for those looking for something a little dry with flavor. Mines had steak and it was drizzled with mojito sauce and oil. Our server was excellent and recommended flipping it over to have the juice flow into the mofongo which she went ahead and did.. steak was well done and when mixed in had a great combination of flavor.. Ambiance feels like a local P.R spot, flags, art, music, and very fun ambiance. Enjoyed it. Definitely when I'm in the area will come again..

I visited el Bayu de la wela sara with a lot of hype and expectations, which were sadly not met…read more The service overall was A+ 5 out of five. The food was mixed . - Alcapurrias : 5 stars crunchy, juicy, proper size and flavor. - pork chunks mofongo: 4 stars, great flavor. Huge pork portion. - shrimp mofongo creole sauce: 3 stars sauce was on the saltier side and once it reached the bottom of the mongo it was "just too much" - churrasco (kids): 3 stars. A bit overcooked (kid refused to eat it) but it was decent flavor and tenderness. - beans: 3 stars, too salty - white rice : 1 star, felt dry and grainy like day old rice from the fridge.

First time visiting this place I was excited to try…read moreJamaican/Caribbean food I was sad that they didn't have anything with jerk sauce, heard is very popular in their culture But I ended up ordering the goat dish, it was very yummy The lady serving was very kinda and patient with me lol for asking suggestions and all (Forgot to ask her name tho) The only thing I'd suggest is to add a couple tables out side

What happened? I haven't been here in months/perhaps a year…read more I purchased Large soup (Gungo Pea) Large escovitch fish Large Brown Stew It all looked appetizing through the partition. Like it always has. But...not one item is the same. Not one is has flavor. Not even salt could help. Brown stew chicken watery no flavor. Fish not sweet or hot. The soup biggest disappointment. No dumplings. No meat. I ordered at 1230 so there was plenty of soup that it shouldn't have been picked over. The soup was so bad I actually thought there was a chemical in it. I threw it out. Over $50 plus a tip If I had the time and energy I would go there for a full refund and let them have all their food back. Cause in the trash it goes.

The daughter of the restaurant invited me to come try her mother's cooking, and at the time I was…read morelooking for a new Haitian restaurant to try so it lined up perfectly. I ordered the Boulette(Haitian meatballs) which was my first time trying it actually, and it was literally the best food I've ever had!! It was so flavorful and delicious my taste buds didn't know what just happened. It wasn't crumbly and the structure held up well. Pair it with the chicken gravy that's provided and I promise you won't regret it. I also got Diri Jon Jon (black rice) which is very easy to mess up by the way. But she managed to not only cook it perfectly but kept it moist and not dry. Now I ordered some Haitian Mac and Cheese which was forgotten so I had to go back and get it, but again one of the most flavorful dishes I've tried! My mom makes great Haitian food but if I want to taste home away from home I got to Alamod and I know I'll be treated like family

The turkey was fried a little too hard for my liking, and the black rice could have used a bit more flavor, but everything was still good. I also got the passion fruit drink, which was amazing. I would definitely go back just for that. I was too hungry and forgot to take photos Overall, I would recommend this place.

The front desk at our hotel recommended JRK!, and wow... she did not steer us wrong…read more When we travel, we always try to eat local food--never something we can get back home--so we were excited to try this spot. It's located inside a nearby mall, which turned out to be high-end and really beautiful. We grabbed an Uber and headed over. The food absolutely hit the spot. We ordered three bowls with jerk chicken and rice and another bowl with curry chicken and spicy rice. Everything was fantastic and the portions were generous--definitely worth the price. When we ordered they had just served their last portion of oxtail, which was a bit of a bummer because that's what I originally wanted. But while we were eating, I noticed the line never stopped and the server was constantly plating food. That's always a great sign that a place is doing something right. They actually did replenish the oxtail shortly after... but by then we were already full. We also grabbed a rum cake and it was a 1000 out of 10. Must try! The only downside is that it's located inside the mall. It would be amazing to experience the full vibe in a standalone restaurant setting with maybe an even larger menu. But clearly they're doing something right because the line never stopped the entire time we were there. Highly recommend!
