    The smokers grilling the meat
    Jahnavi U.

    I was craving jerk chicken last Wednesday so we drove to Little Caribbean on Nostrand Ave. I didn't know about this area until last year. We decided to try a new jerk chicken spot that my husband knew amir and that's Irie Jerk. We got take out. We went inside the restaurant and placed our order. It was a bit loud in there so it was hard to hear what the lady was asking us but we were able to place our order for jerk chicken. And it was a bit cramped because there was a lot equipment and people were coming in and out. We decided to order a large portion and then we got to choose a sauce with it. They have several to choose from. We wanted to try pineapple habanero but they ran out so we chose jerk sauce. Next time, we'll try a milder sauce. The large portion was about $16 which was reasonably got the quantity we received. The food was delicious and spicy. The chicken was juicy. They took the chicken right out of the smoker in front of the restaurant, chopped it up and packed it for us. That's fresh! The ambiance was like any other bbq joint. I wish they had indoor seating especially on a hot day like that day. I hope they make it big and expand. Definitely check out this place for jerk chicken. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely buy food from them again next time we're in town.

    Chicken and Festivals made me feel like I was back a yard! Flew from Atlanta to try this original taste of Jamaica. A lot of people do jerk but not many make you feel you're back in Jamaica. Loved it.

    Love the different sauces crispy outside and juicy inside. Always grab for a quick meal. Wait can be long sometimes.

    Best jerk in town. Best staff on the block. Great music. Tasty beverages. And at least 10 different sauces to choose from.

    This is great jerk! The portions are generous and it's properly smoked without being dry.

    "Deep in Brooklyn, hides the Caribbean"…read more Came here on sleepy Tuesday. Not many people in the restaurant but lots of take out going on. The friendly one woman staff helped seat us, recommend the dishes, made the drinks, prepped and served the food. It was all tasty. What's to cheer - Nice not to too sweet homemade rum punch - Solid, flavorful oxtail. Very island spiced and cooked well - Goat was also really strong - Reasonable prices - service with personality What's to jeer - they were out of the jerk chicken unfortunately which I really wanted to try - place is pretty low key and not swimming with ambience

Service was excellent, we felt like we were visiting an old friend who happens to have a great restaurant. The food was delicious, we had the home made sorrel perfectly sweetened and the right amount of ginger. The oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage was on point. The meat was perfectly tender and the gravy was savory, the rice and peas was moist and delicious, the cabbage had a nice flavor and texture and the side of fry plantains were perfect, the right level of soft and sweet. Do yourself a favor and visit Islands. Cool .

Upon arrival the restaurant is very clean, and the service was fast. There is a dine in area as well. The woman who took my order was very patient , and personable. I ordered a brown stew fish, cabbage and 3 small soups. Everything came out to about $49. The chicken soup was very good . The cabbage was also very good. The fish on the other hand was very salty and not worth the $20 charge (fish with no sides). I get it the area etc etc but for the price the food should be top notch. The other establishments are much better. Would I return.....I don't think so .

Escovitch fish meal which came with plantains, rice and peas, and spinach. Everything was still warm and tasty when I arrived home. The order was packaged nicely. Definitely, nice portions for the prices. Place is clean. Staff is friendly, informative, and service was amazing. It takes about 10 minutes for the fish since they make it to order. I will soon be back and may have them do some catering orders for me( usually order from the location on flatbush). Pop in if you ever get in the area and want some hot warming food.

For the table, we ordered the oxtail stew, fried chicken, yams, collard greens, and mac & cheese. I also had a Peach Bellini for a little bubbly. Everything was exactly as I remembered -perfectly cooked and well seasoned, large portions with more than enough to take home. The chef stopped by our table which was a nice touch. Service overall was great. They also make great use of such a small space. It is indeed well worth the visit. Side note, we ordered the same exact items off the menu as we did a year ago...only one thing was missing which was the biscuits with the flavored butter jam. We were told the biscuits were replaced with cornbread. I didn't order the cornbread this time around but would like to see the biscuits return at some point.
