    My experience in the morning was pretty nice--it was quiet and relaxed. I had chicken curry with dahl roti, rice and peas, and plantains. For $15, the portion was very filling. It took me about 30 minutes to finish everything, and honestly, if you haven't eaten all day, this meal will definitely fill you up. The customer service was great. The space feels very inclusive, blending Trinidadian, Guyanese and Jamaican culture. They also have a section with different sweets, teas, and homemade drinks that they prepare in-house.

    Beef patty- fresh & tasty

    I stumbled upon this place & saw that everything was halal & that it was busy at 8 AM- I had to go in. The lady working there was very nice & accommodating with my questions at that time of day haha. I grabbed a beef patty & it was very flavorful & the price was right. If I'm in this area more I would definitely frequent this place more.

    Not my typical area for this type of food so I was curious to try. It's Guyanese cuisine and wanted to try Pepper Pot their signature dishe but sasadly they were out. It was near closing time. I opted for some other Caribbean dishes and did take out. They still has a decent selection and amount of food to pick from. We got the Peas and Rice and Boneless Jerk Chicken. The boneless chchicken was my hubby's idea, I prefer bone in and already had my reservations about the flavor difference but I obliged. We got Doubles with Tamarind Sauce and Aloo Pie with Chickpeas. Both the lady at the counter and the cashier were very welcoming and friendly. They were quite engaging with several customers who walked in while we were there. I could tell this was a place where they had regulars from the conversations. She was equally happy to chat with us new comers. She even gave me a small package of Milo cookies when I saw a bigger box and commented that I always wanted to try them but didn't want to get the bug box without knowing if I'd like them. She told me I'd love it and I'd be back for more. I did. Got home and food was still warm. I was really impressed with the jerk chicken. I know it was oven prepared and not in the outdoor smoker but it was well seasoned and despite my preconceived notions about it being boneless it was very good. The doubles were good I really enjoyed the tamarind sauce. The Aloo pie was large by standards of all the other places we go to. It was also generously stuffed with chickpeas. I'd have to say I'd return. I want tobtry the Roti and of course - Pepper Pot. The have a few tables with chairs if you want to stay and enjoy. The restaurant was clean and stocked with traditional West Indian treats and drinks . The J train stop to Norwood is right in front/above the restaurant.

    Stickers on the vegetables, and some plastic substance.

    I have been having so much patience with them, but if I don't say anything they'll never get better. Today I find tomato stickers in my meal along with some plastic like substance. Their doubles are the emptiest I've ever seen. This is the 5th + order and 5th + discrepancy. This place is not for me.

    I was in here right before lunch to pick up some meat for my dinner. I was glad they had jerk chicken legs because that was my first choice for dinner. Fir the first time in a while there was no one ahead of me when I came in. I asked for one jerk chicken leg. I was asked if I wanted anything else. I declined. I also noticed they had plenty of fresh Guyanese pastries in their display case. The jerk chicken was coated in wonderfully complex hot and spicy blend. When I ate it, it was definitely hot. There was s nice char but not burnt. The meat was juicy and tender.

    Curried Beef

    I went for Roti & the had none, so I was given other options for a meat and rice. The server put her sleeve in the plate. I had to ask for a new plate of rice. All of the items looked dry, but I thought, hey let me give them a chance. I SHOULD HAVE WALKED OUT!!! There wasn't variety, I just chose curried chicken & curried beef with rice and doubles. NO ROTI??? Roti is in the name of the restaurant!!! *Mind blown* Tip: PAY WITH CASH!!! I swiped my card & the woman told me to swipe again because the payment didn't go through. I only chose no receipt & she was thrown off! I told her let me check my account before I swipe again. I showed her from my bank app the payment went through. She didn't want to give me the food. Anyway, I eventually got the food & didn't have to pay another $22. I got to the car & the food was cold!! Not lukewarm. COLDDD!! The takeaway is stick with the best, Singh's will always be the best.

    "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

Service was excellent, we felt like we were visiting an old friend who happens to have a great restaurant. The food was delicious, we had the home made sorrel perfectly sweetened and the right amount of ginger. The oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage was on point. The meat was perfectly tender and the gravy was savory, the rice and peas was moist and delicious, the cabbage had a nice flavor and texture and the side of fry plantains were perfect, the right level of soft and sweet. Do yourself a favor and visit Islands. Cool .

Their playlist is great so vibes were on point. We all shared the lemon drop cocktail tower. It was super cute, tasty, fun, and did what it had to do for us pre-day party. For food, I tried the bao fish tacos and the crab curry gyoza. Both of these items were good but for the amount that comes with them it's pricy (you get 2 small bao tacos and 4 pieces of gyoza, both of which are $20-22 each). I liked the bao tacos the most because of the mixture of flavors and textures, including the excellently friend fish. The gyoza was different. It wasn't bad but I think I'm just used to crispy/fried gyoza vs these which were boiled/soft. My friends really enjoyed the crab fried rice. The fried sweet plantains were just ok to me; The batch we got were dry and not that sweet.

    Most underrated: * gem in Williamsburg…read more * elite Caribbean dishes * romantic/date night spots * Caribbean brunch/lunch menu Service is impeccable. The couple who owns Kokomo deserve an award, if they don't have many already. The food is incredible. I've had both lunch and dinner. I can't say I have a favorite. But what stands out to me is: jerk chicken, mac and cheese, the lamb. Wait, my fave was the flatbread pizza with pasta and jerk chicken. My partner throughly enjoyed and raves about the oxtail. The mixed drinks were equally exceptional.
