Lol The restaurant looks the same from over 10 years ago. Lol The Oxtail Stew was on the menu, so that was ordered along with the garlic shrimp and shrimp fajitas. We were all happy with our meal! I'll make sure to add this back in the rotation.

Came here for dinner this week, on our way to see Rosalía at the Inglewood Forum. Found it on Yelp…read more(thanks Yelp!). This area is not familiar to us at all, and we don't normally eat (for us) exotic cuisine. But, we were in the mood to try something new, so we stopped here. It's a colorful, cheerful little place. I think there are only like 4 tables. Apparently, it is mostly takeout. This became evident when our food was "served". We ordered a large two-meat plate and two large fried chicken plates. The two meats were "brown stew chicken" and curry goat. The meat is served in thick savory gravy/sauce. The "plates" are served with rice and fried plantains. The brown stew chicken was good. The curry goat was really good. Here's where the experience really veered sharply from our normal dining experience. The "plates" were served in takeout fold-over boxes with plastic forks. The meat itself was pretty much all adhered to bones. It was tender and delicious, but eating with our hands doesn't come naturally. So, I asked for a knife, and the sweet woman who takes the orders looked at me and said they don't have knives, and that we "just have to dig down into it". Indeed. She did give me a second plastic fork though, which I used. Nice workers. Authentic food. Huge portions. New experience which we all enjoyed.

I had a taste for beef patties, so I went to the closest spot hoping they would have some ready…read morebecause it was fairly early and I believe they had just opened. When I walked up to the counter I was happy to see that their warmer was full of beef, chicken and veggie patties. I ordered a couple of beef and chicken patties. When I got home OMG so good. I ate the beef and shared the others and everyone said that they were so good. Definitely coming back to get more and the price is not bad at all. There is a huge parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding Parking. They have tables inside where you can eat. Service was very good.

The curry goat was the standout--hands down the best I've had. The oxtail was really good too. The stew chicken was just okay, nothing special, but the rest of the plate more than made up for it. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Great flavors, great people, and a really welcoming vibe.

I've never been to the Caribbeans. I know not a single soul in the Caribbeans. But if I was, to be…read moreat this moment, standing in front of a restaurant in the Caribbean Islands then the smells coming from Donna's cooking would be what I imagine in this time travel hypothetical. On the corner of Prairie & El Segundo, not too far from the corner of 120th & Crenshaw, where yours' truly used to work, lies Donna's Home Caribbean. You have to look close because the restaurant, like the tiny parking lot, is unassuming. But the food is not unassuming, my favorites being the oxtails, goat curry and jerk chicken. Also it's peas & rice over the beans & rice for me, at least at Donna's. It's small and for some that are not used to the cuisine, the aroma and aesthetics may be an acquired taste. Sorry princesses, you might want to stay home. But if you brave on there is dopamine centers this food can hit. Stay pushing onward and forward my friends....

Life is good when I get to eat here :)…read more This review is for take out only. The service is fine, my only thing is that they often don't have their full menu available, so have back up options when ordering. The food though, I really enjoyed the oxtail plate, it was nice and tender. The flavors were nice, and I really enjoyed it with the rice and plantains, salty and sweet combo for the win. Good portion as well! I also got the beef patty and it was yummy. The place itself is huge! I've only seen mostly take out orders though so not sure how the ambiance is inside. All in all, I do want to try more of their items eventually, hoping they have them available next time I'm craving. Happy eats, loves! ^_^

On my first visit, I ordered the oxtails with rice and peas along with a second plate of stew peas and steamed rice. Everything was incredibly flavorful, tender, and seasoned just right -- true comfort food that tasted homemade. The next day, I returned and tried even more dishes: the brown stew chicken with ground provisions, another order of oxtails with rice and peas, a small chicken soup, and a fried chicken plate with rice and peas. Every single item was delicious, hot, and full of authentic island flavor. You can tell they put real care into their cooking. Island Reggae Kitchen delivered consistently great food all weekend, and it's the kind of spot that makes you want to try the whole menu. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

After craving Jamaican food for what feels like forever, I finally decided to search Yelp on my way…read morehome from working in LA and came across The Taste of the Caribbean in Long Beach - and wow, this hit the spot in a way I've been missing for too long. For context, I've always loved Jamaican food and even have family who make incredible, authentic dishes, but I haven't had anything close to that in a year. So my expectations? High. My craving? Even higher. I ordered the jerk chicken dinner with peas & rice and cabbage medley, and some plantains - to go. First off, the service was amazing. The woman who helped me was genuinely warm and welcoming, and you can tell she cares about what she's serving. When I ordered, she asked if I wanted the jerk sauce on the side and made sure I was okay with the spice level when I said no. That attention to detail matters. The food came out quickly (it was mid-afternoon and not busy), and everything stayed warm all the way home--which is always a win for takeout. Now let's talk about the food: The portion was generous, the flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh. The jerk chicken had that perfect smoky, spicy kick - exactly what I was hoping for. The rice and peas and cabbage medley were a great balance to the heat, and the plantains were sweet and perfectly cooked. I did notice another review complaining about the spice level being too high... and honestly, I had to laugh a little. Have you had jerk chicken before? It's supposed to be spicy - that's the whole point. Personally, that comment is part of what made me choose this place, and it delivered. If you don't like spice, jerk might not be your thing - but I'm sure there are milder options if you ask. Bonus: they offer online ordering and delivery through Uber Eats and Postmates, which makes it even easier to get your fix. Overall, this place brought back the flavors I've been missing for so long. I'll absolutely be back - and probably sooner rather than later.
