    You know it's authentic Jamaican when: 1. They list over 10 types of patties on the menu but when you ask what they have they say "Meh have beef, chicken an' fish". 2. When you ask if the jerk chicken is spicy and you get a side glance and a wicked smile. 3. It comes on a truck. 4. You ask for a menu and you get an old yellowed piece of paper that's seeing the light of day for the first time. I've seen this truck around the neighborhood a few times and I finally stopped to try it out. It's manned by a sweet Jamaican lady who is serving up some very decent food. I got jerk chicken and fish patties, along with a jerk chicken platter. The patties were decent... I found the fish more interesting. The jerk chicken platter was GREAT. The jerk was properly spicy without the need for any added hot sauce, and the plantains and veggies were good. From Mon-Thur they're at 9th St and 7th Ave. Fri-Sun they're at 10th St and 5th Ave. Kudos to them for setting up in this part of town... it's a welcome addition.

    My empty bag after I devoured that delicious beef patty!

    Delicious beef patty! They got it right! I enjoyed it immensely and didn't even want to wait for it to cool! I didn't try the food but I enjoyed speaking to the lovely chef and will stop by anytime I'm in in the neighborhood.

    The rubber band I nearly chocked on.

    The $12 veggie roti and steamed veggies are sumptuous. I enjoy the Friday visits near Columbus Circle & Broadway.

    Something about Caribbean food when the winter weather's frigid sounds dandy to me. Guess if you…read morecan't be somewhere tropical, eating tropical cuisine sure helps. Enter The Islands. It was sort of an odd time so the spacious restaurant wasn't very busy. We studied the menu for too long and after much deliberation, here's what we ordered, in order of spice level: - Oxtail ($35): Not spicy, super flavorful, "Trimmed and sliced chunks of oxtail seasoned freely with fresh spices and simmered to tender perfection." - Curry goat ($29): Mildly spicy, "Goat meat marinated and cooked in curry spices and herbs makes this an exotic dish." - Jerk chicken ($20): Apparently incredibly spicy so I steered clear of it, "A Jamaican delight. Spicy, delicious chicken baked with this unique combination of spices from the island." The dishes I could handle were excellent, with no drop of sauce left unmopped. On the sides front, the rice and beans, roti, steamed vegetables, and plantains were all tasty. The entree sizes were hearty. Our server seemed like a cool dude: easygoing with a sense of humor. It was kind of chilly in the restaurant, not sure if we were in a warmth dead zone or what. The bathroom was frog-themed which was a cute touch!

    "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

    Nice spot serving traditional Jamaican dishes. I know the other restaurants in Brooklyn, but this…read morewas my first time visiting this particular one. 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.
