Although the jerk salmon can be a bit on the oily side sometimes, we know to ask for that to be lessened in the future. The only thing I can say was the festival bread wasn't the best at all as it was overly fried and hard and you could really taste the cinnamon in it. I wouldn't get that again but would come for the oxtail plate!

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....

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.

I provide that information because sadly, the food tasted as if I was served the portions of chicken curry, cabbage, and mixed vegetables that had been sitting in the pots all day or had been reheated from previous days. This truly hurt my hurt as it has been a long time coming for a Caribbean restaurant to arrive in Long Beach. The chicken curry lacked balanced flavor due to it sitting and seemed to have more and more curry added and no other spices to play on the notes from the chicken. So it was just an overcooked, concentrated, high sodium, scotch bonnet(ed), abused curry with meat that was struggling to maintain its right to be chicken but the flavors of chicken had been executed. Second, spoiled cabbage anyone? I knew it as soon as I opened it. It smelled of cabbage that had been forced to over stay its welcome and by the portion size, I was to see the extra servings of it as an award but it just turned into a punishment. I truly believe, or at least want to, believe this was an off day and whoever permitted the "last of.." to be served was just off their game and will read this review and never make these mistakes again. I believe in you and am definitely willing to give this restaurant another try in the future. For now I need to take some time and recover. But please, I rooting for you, believe in you, and know that your love for the food and culture will step back up to the high quality standards it created!
