This is a 10/10 every time. If i am trying to figure out what I want for take out this is long to be in my top three! Curry shrimp roti and sorrel. It will make your night! The roti is so flaky with the curry filling. Sometime I just get curry chickpea roti. Either one will not disappoint. This is pretty much the only thing I order from here but just from this I know their other food slaps! Don't miss out! read more

I haven't been here in years. The food was always good. I stopped in yesterday and purchased the brown stew chicken. I was so disappointed. The chicken was dry and the gravy was more watery. This is the first time that has ever happened. I tried to eat it but ended up throwing it away. Not sure if I will be back. I drove a long way and couldn't go back to return it. That dish is usually so good. Man I was disappointed read more

It's been over 20 yrs ago since I've eaten here. Alot has changed except for the food. No more waiting 30min in line. I had the combo plate and the Oxtail was just as delicious as I've remembered, the curry goat was also very nice and the jerk chicken was OK. The food is very rich in flavor like it should be for Island Cuisine. read more

Food is always great. Love the oxtails and the chicken tenders are sooo juicy! Service is always fast and staff is always friendly. To-go orders are always smooth. Never ate inside, I've always ordered to go and never had an order messed up. read more

Food was nasty. Ordered a Goat plate, mac and cheese was gross and an Oxtail plate that was super tough so I returned to the store within 30 minutes and they replaced the Oxtail with a "fresh batch" but they were super fatty and had a weird aftertaste. Go to Jimmas Jamaican read more

Table for 2 for lunch  Approaching the restaurant and looking at the outside, it looked very unimpressive and generic. I quickly found a spot in the huge shared parking lot. It looked like a few of the surrounding stores were shut down and abandoned. I waited for my friend to arrive, because he had been here before.  He arrived and we entered. He advised that the indoor dining room was to the left and I could see they also had a counter, to the right, where you could place a takeout order.  We seated ourselves in the dining room, which was pretty empty.  The interior decor pretty much matched the outside look, very understated.  Our server quickly came by to take our drink orders.  I ordered a ginger beer.  Then we quickly decided on our entrees.  My friend ordered the boneless jerk chicken meal and I ordered the Curry Chicken Roti. I asked if the Roti was big enough for a full meal because  I was also contemplating ordering the Curry Chicken meal.  Our server explained it should be good enough portion. The food came out pretty quickly and my Roti was huge, more than enough for lunch. I started to dig in and It was "on point".  It was very tasty and seasoned well.   My friend commented that his Jerk Chicken meal was also very very good. We were eating and chatting it up in the dining room and our server Santee continued to check on us to make sure everything was going well.  He was very attentive throughout our visit and we were not being rushed out of the dining room. Overall, a good experience and I would return to try some other things on the menu.  A couple side notes, when I left I had an oily taste in my mouth for a little bit. On a good note, when I heated up my Roti two days later, and it was just as good. read more

Customer service was excellent however I didn't like the oxtails or the peas and rice. I like my ox tails to be kind of sweet. They was tender and a nice size though. could have more for the large size read more

Every time I land at the airport and head home, the Chicken and Shrimp Pasta with Tropical Sauce is my go-to order. I usually get it medium spice, but the spicy version packs a great kick too! Fettuccini Alfredo/Spicy Vodka sauce/Jerk vibe. A must-try if you're in the mood for something flavorful and filling! Dessert case is always full of different cakes and puddings. Great service. read more

Customer for 10+ years but can no longer eat here. 1) Staff can be rude at times. Felt discriminatory although tried to give benefit of doubt. 2) Recently, keep finding hair in my food. Straight black hair. Each meal. 3) Last time - ordered chicken pasta and the chicken was completely inedible. Didn't taste/look the same. Not even sure that that meat was. Can no longer overlook the quality issues. Hair nets need to be worn by entire staff bc finding hair in food every time isn't acceptable. read more

The food was good, but not for the price. The oxtails can run upward of $32 but the tails are mostly bones not a lot of "Ox" on them if you know what I saying. The desserts are pretty good. It has a nice balance of sweetness and different ingredients. read more

Very good food. The dark chicken is delicious so is the cabbage and the rice and peas. I went here over 15 years ago and I think the owners have changed. They have vegan vegetarian options which look really delicious. They have Jamaican patties and I'll be back. It's a really good atmosphere great place to grab some lunch. The barbecue sauce is delicious. I added that onto my jerk chicken. You can get the jerk chicken with bone and or you can get it bone out which is different. read more

Absolutely love the food. The tropical pasta is a 10/10. The service is top notch. This restaurant has been in the same area for years.

Man do I love some oxtails and this place has em. I was so excited to come back to Atlanta because I get to get my fill of Jamaican food. This place definitely tops the list. We ordered a to go order and it was done when we got there within 20 mins. The oxtails were so good!! I really wish this place was in Vegas. The yellow rice is super flavorful and the coco bread is a must! Definitely will be back here again. Hopefully before I leave town. read more

Tropical Cuisine - Oxtails - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Georgia

I'm going to start by saying I have been coming to Tropical Cuisine since 2004 so 10 years so I was excited to be in the area to order takeout after not having my Tropical pasta since 2020! When I called and order the guy who has been working the counter since I first visited this place answered the phone and I immediately got excited about my order. Service over the phone was great as it always has been over the last 10 years. Once I got to the restaurant and walked in to pick up my food it immediately felt unfamiliar in there with the different staff working but once i got to the counter to pickup and pay for my food, i seen a familiar face (the guy who took my order over the phone) and i felt better. Anyways, the young man shows me my food before paying and my pasta plus yams as a side looked and smelled exactly the same like when I had it for the first. I'm eager to get home and devour my food. Well get home, food is still hot so I dig in.... disgusting! Even though my food looked the same, it did not taste the same. Yams were hard and not cooked all the way and the pasta noodles were cooked too long. Very mushy. I'm so sad because I brag about the food here being consistently good and on Saturday, 1/20/24 was the very first time I did not like my food after being a customer for 10 years. 3 stars because the service was good and always have been and there is plenty of parking in front of the building. Meal: Tropical chicken pasta (medium spicy) with yams Cost: $19.38 read more

Tropical Cuisine - Tropical Chicken Pasta - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Georgia

I am hooked. My friend has been holding out on me with this hidden gem. It is hidden behind the chevron gas station on Old National Hwy. Don't miss it. The tropical chicken pasta and the tropical shrimp and chicken pasta is the bomb!!! I get it either medium or not spicy. The tropical sauce has some kick to it. You will not be disappointed. The Carmel cake is melt in your mouth goodness. They have a variety of cakes and cheesecake. They have a vegetarian menu also. Stop in and give it a try. read more

I was very excited to have some really good Caribbean food and was really let down by what I ended up getting. I ordered the Crab Patty, Oxtails with Collard Greens and Yellow Rice, and Key Lime Pie. The wait was longer than they said it would be and the food was not worth the wait. I saw a customer (obviously a regular) ask the staff to heat up their patty so it was hot as they wanted to eat it immediately. When I asked for the same thing, I was told the patties were hot and didn't need any reheating (as they came out of an obviously only luke warm holder). I as I bit into my Crab Patty, it was not hot. The crab in the patty was also fake and the pastry to filling ratio way off, as every bite was 3/4 pastry and only 1/4 filling. The Oxtails were extremely fatty. I've been to other places and the oxtails in those places are obviously stewed longer so the fat is rendered off. Not here. If you order the oxtails, be ready for a mouth full of gross feeling beef fat. The flavor was ok, but the amount of fat left on the oxtail was incredibly off-putting. The collard greens were unseasoned and bland. The yellow rice was good...in the same way that Uncle Ben's yellow rice it good. The key lime pie was...really, really good. All said, with much better options around, I won't be returning here. read more

Santy took great care of us during our visit toward the end of the night. We ordered fried conch, cocoa bread (buttered), fried plantains, brown stew shrimp, escovitch whole fried snapper-- both served with rice & peas and steamed cabbage. The food was delicious and fresh! The flavors married each other. You must get the lemonade/ginger beer mix. We didn't have any room for dessert but it looked great. We will be back for lunch! read more

I had been craving Jamaican food all week. Since my fav is a distance from me now, I had to plan my visit! Lol. I studied the menu before I left home and knew exactly what I wanted. So half way there I called in my order bit the hold was about 6 mins. So once connected I ordered the Brown Stewed boneless chicken, rice and peas, cabbage and candied yams. I asked for a beef patty cause it was the weekend! They are truly practicing social distancing and you must wear a mask! I was fifth in line and the line moved quickly except for this guy who couldn't decide what he wanted. My food was A1 and I was so excited to eat, when I got home, I forgot to take a picture. THANKS OPD FAITHFUL TROPICAL CUISINE! Never lets me down. read more

Moved to ATL over 10 years ago and used to frequent Tropical at least 3 times a months on my way home from south GA. Maybe 4/5 years ago, something changed, food started tasting different; not as good. The rice was mushy, curry chicken wasn't the same, something wasn't right. The service was the same. I would call in and order, ALWAYS call in your order or you will wait for a long time. Tropical Cuisine has always been clean but don't go there looking for ambiance; it's an old building where they cook decent food. For my health, I am getting off of meat as much as I can. 2 Days ago, I ordered curry tofu, peas and rice, and cabbage. It was so, so good. The black bean soup is also delicious. Praying that Tropical Cuisine meals continue to be good, and be a part of my vegan journey. read more

Date: 10/3/2019 Parking: Open lot My date ordered the Oxtails that comes with rice and a side. I had the curried chicken with rice/peas and cabbage. Both meals were YUMMY. The curried chicken was moist and seasoned so well. One thing I always appreciate too is when the food comes out hot. Our food was piping hot. We also indulged on beef and chicken patties which were DELICIOUS! Our waitress was nice and the food is reasonably priced. No complaints and I can't wait to come back for Jerk Chicken. read more

It's not what it used to be. The food was once amazing and justified the cost. Moreover, they were consistently excellent in food preparation and quality. However, my last two visits were disappointing and, in my opinion, not worth the price. read more

Sooooooo I ordered the sautéed salmon dinner from Tropical Cuisine this evening and I was a little surprised. I was expecting to get a strip of salmon, not little salmon bites chopped up but in the end it all goes down the same (I guess) lol. I gave this restaurant 4 stars because the flavor was TOP NOTCH but the presentation was poor, and that may be because it was takeout from Uber eats so I'm not gonna knock them too hard. I definitely recommend this restaurant and I'll probably order from here again while I'm in town! read more

Tropical Cuisine - Salmon - Caribbean Near Me - College Park, Georgia

We randomly stumbled into this restaurant while searching for a place to eat. It is located una run down mall. First impression of the business is that it's rather dated and overall sketchy. We were hungry and figured we would try it anyways. Upon walking in, you get an open floor space with no area to eat and a rather dirty environment. We placed our order on their rather limited menu. The woman who took our order was nice, but seemed overtly busy despite there being no customers in the establishment. The food quality is extremely poor. I ordered the chicken curry and received nothing more than a dry plate of chicken with some sauce on top. The flavor profile was rather poor. Additionally, the food gave me severe stomach issues and GI upset in the evening. Overall, I would recommend going elsewhere. The quality of the food is not present and will leave you stuck on a porcelain throne. read more

The staff is super friendly and polite. I got brown stew chicken and spinach dal. The brown stew....meh. I enjoyed the dal and the nan. I'm used to Jamaican brown stew chicken and the flavor just wasn't here. It was just a little off to me. I can't describe it. I think I'll try them again but try something different. The place is always packed and super popular so I'm sure there's something yummy there. read more

I have passed this place a thousand times and never gave them a shot. I was really hungry one day and didn't want to leave home so I decided to give Uber Eats a shot. The restaurant selection in my area for Uber Eats is not too good but I was happy to see a new entry and that was Tropical Cuisine. Of course I scope the menu and then I go straight to Yelp to see their review and also view pics of the food that fellow Yelpers have submitted and not the restaurant itself. I saw pic after pic of the Oxtails. Ok I'm sold. I ordered Oxtails, cabbage, rice and peas and a side of yams. I received my food in a reasonable amount of time. The bag was heavy....Win!! That means they were stingy with the oxtails. I opened the plate and voila. That food looked so freaking good. I should have heated it up a bit but I didn't. The food was bomb!!! The oxtails had about 9 or 10 bones with about 4 of them being huge ones. So moist, tender and full of flavor. The cabbage was cooked perfectly. It wasn't raw. Some Caribbean places barely cook the cabbage for whatever reason. The yams I did not like though. They looked good but they had too much ginger or lemon. I couldn't put my finger on it. However that didn't keep me from eating my butt off. I will gladly order from here again. read more
