I've been a regular at Taste of the Islands for years, given its excellent Jamaican home-cooked cuisine and brings me back to Sunday dinners growing up. I recently arranged a gathering for my American husbands side of the family, and decided to cater from this spot. The food was exceptionally well-received; my family couldn't stop praising it and were curious to know where it came from.
Amazing! A true gem!! I ordered a large oxtails, rice and beans and Mac n cheese platter (with extra gravy). WOW! WOW! If you are hungry, stopping here is a MUST! ...
Food is really great. I usually order the Curry Goat with rice and beans or their delicious Oxtail dish.
So good with great prices everything always taste so fresh
By far my favorite place to eat. My husband took me here a few months ago and i absolutely LOVED the jerk chicken and rice platter. The staff is always so kind and welcoming. We have eaten here probably about 5 times now. We love the food, the staff, and how convenient it is! Will definitely be back more
Delicious. I Got curry goat - super tender, well spiced. You can add extra heat, but I like it just the way they made it. Co-workers got Jerk chicken, Ox tails, Mac and cheese.
