So I just knew this was going to be good. There was jerk chicken, oxtails, Mac n cheese, cabbage, and more .. She even had banana pudding. I ordered a jerk chicken bowl which came with Mac n cheese, and I added plantains and cabbage. It came to about $19. When I got my food it was hot and fresh!! The chicken was tender and flavorful. The Mac n cheese was creamy and delicious. The cabbage was seasoned and good. The plantains were sweet and yummy!! This place definitely seasons their food which I appreciate!! The portions were good, and the prices were reasonable. I'm so glad I finally got to try it. I'll certainly return. Check them out!!

Bear with me here; maybe this goes out into the abyss but I'm still gonna say it…read more Years & years ago I was wandering around the area & came upon Island Krave. It was brand new & the woman tending the store was friendly, energetic & passionate about the food she was serving. I ordered jerk chicken but she insisted on letting me have a taste of everything on the menu. Everything was delicious & I now had a new obsession- the sweet coco bread. For years after that whenever I was around I would pop in. I've since moved to GA and been living here for almost ten years. Any transplant will tell you sometimes only family & food keep you tethered to your home state. So happens this wknd I was in town for my sisters wedding & got my hair done a couple blocks away from Island Krave. As she finished up I placed an order on Uber eats, really excited for this meal- something familiar & missed. To see how the quality & care has declined truly hurts my heart. The portion of meat they served me was actually disrespectful to people who work hard for their money & choose to support a small business. These pictures are after they added some. If you're going to chop it to smitherens you need to measure it out to ensure the portions make sense. Anyone that cooks can tell you this is a thigh at best. & this is a $17 plate. I don't want to talk down on the place too much it's just sad how much of a let down the entire meal was after I felt like they threw my stuff together thinking it was being delivered and they wouldn't have to look me in the face. The Mac was good & the flavor of the chicken was as well. Cabbage mushy & salty. Rice is not yellow. & apparently $5 gets you one slice of coco bread now (I got two bc of my troubles, ha!) Idk I hope they can figure it out but personally I would never spend another dollar in this place.

Honestly if you want me to be honest... I literally went to Venezuela eating the meal I had. Let's…read moretalk about the portion. This plate it would have cost $60 at a seafood restaurant. Dude, I paid $23 and I had more than 4 shrimps compared to other restaurants when they serve you their "seafood platter". You know exactly what I'm talking. Anyway, I have not gone out to eat in a while so my fiance found Maracaibo Bistro and it most definitely did not disappoint! He had Bandeja Paisa. His plate. Overflowing with sausage, ground beef, chicharron, chorizo, arepa, +$1 for grilled steak served on top of rice and beans with sweet plantains. Food? Forget about it, scarfed that down like it was for breakfast! So if you like authentic food, GO! Overall experience and satisfaction were both fulfilled! P.S. I bought their Paella to go. We have food for a couple of days!
