    Got the jerk chicken wrap today and it might honestly be the best wrap I've gotten in a while. Please check this place out!

    M&K Island Hut - Stew Chicken

    M&K Island Hut

    I was a little skeptical about trying the food at M&K Island Hut because the photos of the food…read moredidn't particularly wow me...but let me tell you, don't let the pictures fool you! I ordered the stew chicken with rice and peas special with a side of macaroni pie. Where do I begin?! It was so good! The stewed chicken was exactly how I like it made -- with a rich thick gravy. The food was packed with flavor and spice, and left me wanting more! I also tried the curried chicken which was also on point. This dish is more spicy than the stewed chicken. I would recommend this as well, especially if you enjoy spicy food. I would say the macaroni was average. I've had better, but I've also had worse. The prices here are great. You can't beat a $5 special that comes with TWO sides! This thing filled me up. The next time I'm in town, I want to try some of their jerk. Overall, I enjoyed the food here. But I'm removing one star for customer service. The woman at the front counter can be hit or miss with her attitude. Something management should definitely work on.

    Wow...the food here packs all the Caribbean flavor and delivers them straight into Troy! All for a…read moresong at less than $10 per dish. My curry goat was so tender and flavor packed I wiped my bowl clean. Just the right amount of spice that gives a little run to your nose and lingers lightly on tongue but doesn't overwhelm. The beef patty has a hint of spice and is tender. Worth a trip for those craving Island flavors or missing home/vacation.

    Sometimes a single dish is reason enough to try a new restaurant, and this is the case with akra…read moreat AJW. It's not fried okra as I assumed but a fritter based on taro. Moist inside, crispy outside with just a bit of heat. A must. Also had a medium portion of the beef stew with vegetables which was easily enough to serve 2. Stew was pleasant with harmonious flavors but the available spicy slaw kicked it up a notch. Accompanied by black rice which now comes with green peas, not mushrooms, and a pleasant plantain patty. (I'm used to plantains sliced like bananas at Cuban places and guess this one is mashed then reconstituted into a patty.) Slices of onion and bell pepper, shown in previous photos, no longer included nor is what looked like a pretty ordinary side salad. Still a very good value for what I received. The interior is spacious and pleasant (apparently a former Starbucks) and a little hard to find with a difficult to read sign. It's to the left of the Men's Wearhouse store in a strip mall facing Colonie Center. Give it a go so this cuisine newcomer does not go away!

    I have been looking for a Haitian spot to enjoy the taste of home cooked meals that I grew up with…read more A friend of mine in the area told me about A.J.W. and considering that he is also Haitian, I trusted his word. I went in one day after work with another friend and we both tried their rice dishes. I got legume and diri kole (rice and red beans). It was obvious my creole wasn't the strongest lol but they were patient with us as we ordered and clarified things. My friend got something different from me (I forgot what lol) but she enjoyed her meal as well and said it was a great first introduction to Haitian food. The serving sizes are generous and come with a free water bottle. There are also other Caribbean drinks available such as cola champagne, fruit champagne, and nutraments. We both had enough to make another meal out of what we ordered, definitely worth the price. The restaurant itself has a few tables with Haitian flags as the centerpieces. It was tidy and well-kept, we ate our meals at one of the tables by the door and enjoyed the natural light coming in. I'm excited to go back!

    Good Religion Grill - Savory seasoned pot roast chicken

    Walking in to Good Religion, made me feel at home. The hospitality was above and beyond,…read moreaccommodating our request to move a table outside! But the staff was warm and inviting. For Tuesday dinner, the place was not packed at all and had great Caribbean music playing to help set the mood. We ordered the jerk chicken wings appetizer, and entrees of curried goat and Ox Tail. The wings were fall off the bone marinated chicken with a heavenly host of flavors that were spiced nice with not too much heat (would've posted pictures but they were devoured). The curried goat had a beautiful aroma and bouquet of curry flavors but was also not over powered with spicy heat. And the Ox Tail...... drool worthy, savory, tender, and stewed with love and effection. We both shared sides of coconut rice and steamed cabbage which were perfectly complements to our dishes. Dessert was a maple cornbread that made me believe my aunt Barbra was back there cheffing.. Will definitely return!! And will spread the gospel of Good Religion far and wide.

    The food was absolutely great! I made it a point to try this spot, before heading back home (New…read moreOrleans). I add that point because if you know New Orleans food, you'll know how discerning native New Orleanians are about food - period. Upon arrival to Good Religion, I was a little shocked by the look and it being in NY; however, I am accustomed to good food from unassuming places. I will admit I am not a fan of buffets, but Good Religion is more than a buffet, it's your auntie's kitchen. There is a difference!
