    Corn soup
    Aminata C.

    I went here to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The inside was dimmly lit and had a full house. Nice music playing in the background. The drinks were on point. It wasnt on the menu but I had a Hennessey and Sorrel. It was pretty good. I only ordered a corn soup because I ate prior to my arrival. The corn soup was delicious! It was not lacking in the flavor department. I've had many corn soups throughout the years and if you are familar with Bird's corn soup back in the days..Circa 2010 - 2014' after a fete.. Savannah soup is in the runnings. Looking forward to trying other things.

    Wings

    Wow what an incredible hidden gem ! Everything was amazing from the drinks to the decor, even the music was a whole vibe. My friend and I got rum punch just different flavors? Super strong and tasty! We also shared the wings, caution spicy ! The oxtail tacos the pholouri and the Mac and cheese. I can not complain! Everything tasted as though it was made with love, true Island flavor and just all around delicious !

    Oxtail Plantain Cups

    The decor is cute and the staff is very friendly. You can make reservations on Open Table. Parking may be difficult but this location is very accessible via public transportation. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks. I had the Sorrel Colada and I appreciate that it came with an additional shot of rum. My friend had the Moko Jumbie drink and she really enjoyed it. It came in a really cute slanted glass. The appetizers were my favorite part. We ordered the Mango Chow and Oxtail Plantain cups. Both were absolutely delicious and I'd order them both again in a heartbeat. I found the entrees to be just okay. There was nothing wrong with them but they weren't spectacular to make me want to come back and order them again. I ordered the Calypso Shrimp with mashed potatoes. The shrimp were seasoned and the mashed potatoes were good. I just wish they came with a gravy or butter sauce since they were dry. I tried my friends jerk chicken meal and it was nicely seasoned. It's on the sweet side, so if you're looking for Jamaican Jerk chicken I'd skip this one. Overall I enjoyed myself and if I'm in the area again would happily stop by for drinks and apps!

    Oxtail with Rice & Peas & Chicken Tacos

    The experience was good overall. The food was great, the service was great, too, and the ambiance was nice for a Saturday night. I'd go back if i'm looking for good quality Caribbean music with a Trini vibe.

    Mango mojito

    I really wanted to love this restaurant and was excited to visit for date night but a few things occurred that stopped me from giving a 5 star rating. My reservation was on Saturday August 12th at 8:30pm, my boyfriend and I arrived on time and upon entering the establishment we were greeted by the hostess who asked us if we wanted to be seated inside or outside in the back area, although inside was lively it was a nice night so we decided to dine outside. The outside area was a decent size and they also had a speaker outside playing nice soca tunes. After being seated it took about 10 minutes or so before our waitress came to our table to take our order or offer us a glass of water. I ordered the Seafood lobster and shrimp medley and my bf got the Salmon Trini delight, we also ordered the Mac and cheese with oxtails to share. To drink we ordered a mango mojito and he got a shot of jack. There was a table with 2 friendly women sitting next to us one of which pointed out that my boyfriends chair was broken, no biggie he just did a quick game of musical chairs and swapped out the broken chair for a more sturdy one, they went on to tell us that they were waiting awhile for their food and when their food came they weren't given utensils, my boyfriend and I both came on empty stomachs so we hoped that our food would be out in a decent amount of time. An incident happened in the back that the staff was made aware of and all the patrons including myself and boyfriend had to go indoors. At that time I wanted to leave but we had already been waiting so we decided to sit at the bar instead. When our food came out, unfortunately it was cold to the point I couldn't even enjoy it my boyfriends food was cold as well not to mention the oxtail mac and cheese barely had any oxtail meat, it had more of the oxtail fat in it. We only saw our waitress 1 time for the night and that was when she took our order she never came back to check on us or anything. The drinks were good, but the food and service left us disappointed, I wish that our experience at this establishment was a better one.

    Chow mein and oxtail
    Jeelee A.

    The vibez was vibing! The appetizer wings were fireeeere!!I had the chow mein with oxtail i literally wanted to hug the chef after! It was sooooo good! Their drinks are also 10/10. I had a dingolay! Perfect balance of alcohol and goodness it was The servers recommendation.

    Shrimp & Mash
    Nadine M.

    So since I last post I went back to Savannah Cafe with a group and we ate!!! Let me tell youuuuu EVERY SINGLE DISH had use speechless! The food is beyond words..... this is true Trini and Grenadian soul food. Lots of flavour, spice, fresh ingredients, hot and beautiful! You must try those plantain oxtail cups. We were a large group but the wait time was short, the servers were pleasant as always and the owners also came over and had a drink with us. I will forever remember the flavours and refer this Caribbean black owned establishment to anyone. Keep up the great service Mrs. Savannah & Mr. Spice! See you for brunch soon Ps. The drinks are Caribbean rums & flavours. I had a sorrel margarita - never knew this was an option.

    It's a really nice place. I love that there's an outdoor area. That's where my friends and I sat. The waiter was also very nice and gave great recommendations. One of my best friends got the Sunday special stew chicken and loved it. Really good potato salad which doesn't happen often. I loved the pasta with shrimp that my other best friend got. I got shrimp with the mashed potatoes and I thought the mashed potatoes were dry. I also enjoyed my drink. There's a space to take photos, like a grass wall with some flowers. I would come back here.

    The decor here is gorgeous, food is good, good tunes playing (soca for the win). This is a cute spot to consider for casual dining, birthday dinners, or date night. They have one booth style seating that offers a slightly more intimate feel. The drinks are strong and well mixed and the food is clearly made with love. Even if you're not in the area, I'd say this is worth a trip over.

    Snapper, it was cooked well. Recommended

    I went to Savannah last night and enjoyed my meal to the tenth power. I had the shrimp tacos which was made to perfection. The sauce and additional toppings was spectacular, highly recommended. I ordered the oxtails as my main dish, let me tell you something it was soft and seasoned perfectly, this is a must. The potato salad was whatever to me, it needed more Mayo and it season. The Mac and cheese was just ok, I've had better. I ordered a mango mojito, the liquor was strong, so they give you your money's worth. My friend had the snapper which was good, recommended as well.I would come back here. The space is a little small but doable and they have a nice back door area.

    Something about Caribbean food when the winter weather's frigid sounds dandy to me. Guess if you…read morecan't be somewhere tropical, eating tropical cuisine sure helps. Enter The Islands. It was sort of an odd time so the spacious restaurant wasn't very busy. We studied the menu for too long and after much deliberation, here's what we ordered, in order of spice level: - Oxtail ($35): Not spicy, super flavorful, "Trimmed and sliced chunks of oxtail seasoned freely with fresh spices and simmered to tender perfection." - Curry goat ($29): Mildly spicy, "Goat meat marinated and cooked in curry spices and herbs makes this an exotic dish." - Jerk chicken ($20): Apparently incredibly spicy so I steered clear of it, "A Jamaican delight. Spicy, delicious chicken baked with this unique combination of spices from the island." The dishes I could handle were excellent, with no drop of sauce left unmopped. On the sides front, the rice and beans, roti, steamed vegetables, and plantains were all tasty. The entree sizes were hearty. Our server seemed like a cool dude: easygoing with a sense of humor. It was kind of chilly in the restaurant, not sure if we were in a warmth dead zone or what. The bathroom was frog-themed which was a cute touch!

    "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

They also offer hookah, which adds to the social atmosphere. The food was okay. I ordered the oxtails, but they were a bit spicier than I prefer, so I didn't enjoy them as much as I hoped. One thing I really appreciated was the thoughtful service. Since I was still wearing my cap and gown, the staff surprised me with a complimentary ice cream dessert to celebrate my graduation, which was a very kind gesture and made the experience feel special.

A full hour passed, my party arrived, ordered their food, and received their meals before I ever saw mine. When I asked our waiter what was going on, he was confused and said he would check with the kitchen. Fast forward to the 90-minute mark: everyone at my table had received their food and completely finished eating. Finally, the kitchen brought out my order--except they only brought ONE bao bun instead of the two I ordered, and it was completely cold. At that point, I told the waiter I didn't even want it anymore. He apologized and insisted they would make 2 fresh, hot bao buns for me quickly. I gave them one last chance, but another 20 minutes went by and nothing ever came. After 2 full hours of waiting and watching everyone else eat, I had to cancel my order entirely. I ended up having to leave my own party hungry and find a local pizza shop just to get a meal. The lack of communication and complete failure in service was unacceptable. I will not be returning. Oh and mind you my friends pointed out on the receipt it said customer didn't like food to cancel out the order rather than. Food never arrived.

I had their passion fruit lemonade which was refreshing and not overly sweet. For my entree I ordered their oxtails and rice and peas on the side.

Definitely recommend! I didn't try their wings but I tried the sauce that comes with the wings and it had a lovely kick to it. For dessert we shared the Plantain Paradise and the ice cream paired so great with the plantains. It was vanilla ice cream but didn't taste like regular vanilla ice cream.. it had a nice rich texture .

I'm Dominican so I know oxtail pretty well and have made it myself. Thankfully, this place absolutely delivered. The oxtail was perfectly slow-braised, tender, and falling right off the bone -- exactly how it should be. Absolutely amazing. Of course I had the rice and peas, plus some veggies. A few of the veggies were slightly overcooked, but still flavorful and enjoyable. The drinks looked incredible, but I went with the rum punch and loved it. It was a little sweet, but super flavorful, strong, and definitely worth ordering again. For dessert, I had the Hennessy cheesecake, which was rich, decadent, and unbelievably delicious. There were three of us dining, and we all left completely satisfied -- with take-home containers because the portions are VERY generous. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that our server seemed to focus most of her attention on my friend. She is Jamaican, and because I look like a white American woman, I felt a little overlooked at times, even when I had several requests myself. We also had to look for her a couple of times while she was sitting with a group nearby. That said, everyone overall was very nice and welcoming. The bussers especially stood out -- they checked on us often, kept everything clean, and even greeted me in Spanish, which I appreciated.

He had been to the restaurant a few times - and had good things to say. We were not disappointed. I had the Brown Stew Red Snapper - *chef's kiss*. Hubby had the iconic Jerk Oxtail over Macaroni & Cheese Pie! The English language cannot convey the beauty of that combination! Tender, tender oxtail, falling off the bone with the creamy, cheesy mac & cheese! He wanted to savor that dish another day, so he got a to-go bag and took it back to the hotel! (I couldn't help but clean my plate - I was obsessed with the fish!) Our friend enjoyed the Hennessy Fried Shrimp (not pictured) - one of his favorite dishes at the restaurant. It looked delicious as well. For drinks, I had the Bob Marley cocktail. A colorful drink - flavorful - and effective! There were people celebrating their birthdays throughout the night - and the wait staff goes IN! I was enjoying watching at least 10 people receive the Stevie Wonder "Happy Birthday" song while we were there. Imagine my surprise when it was my turn! My birthday was the day before, and we had already celebrated in Manhattan. Having two special recognition events made the evening that much more special! Shout out to the Simpson crew who came with the song, the rhythm, the sparkling cake, and the good vibes! My 70th birthday was exceptional - without a doubt. The Simpson added the touch I needed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in Brooklyn!
