Delicious lunch special. This fast casual spot caught my eye. Everything looked good to me but I wasn’t sure what to order, so I asked the server to make it like he was eating it. I wound up with BBQ chicken on white rice with chickpeas, and every bite was savory. For <$10, this spot is a great bargain if you’re on the move. The spacious table and clean atmosphere was super welcoming too.

I stopped by Island Express in Flatbush this evening because I wanted to try something new, and I’m really glad I did. When I first walked in, I was a little unsure of what to order and must have looked confused because the gentleman behind the counter immediately asked if he could help. I explained what I was in the mood for, and he kindly walked me through the offerings and showed me the different Caribbean dishes available.
I loved the open concept of the space, especially being able to see the kitchen and how clean and organized everything was. The bakery selection also caught my eye, so in addition to a curry chicken dinner, I grabbed two chicken patties and some sorrel.
The chicken patties didn’t even make it home. They were that good. The sorrel was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted fresh and well made. Nothing felt processed, which made the meal even more enjoyable.
I don’t come to this neighborhood often, but I can say for sure that the next time I’m nearby, I’ll be stopping in again, especially for the chicken patties and sorrel. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food but whoever made the roti on 1/15/26 is not the usual person and did not do a good job. To maintain consistent quality please stick with those who know what they are doing or properly train replacements. If i want subpar roti I will stick to Sybil’s in Queens.

This was my first time. I asked the gentleman serving the food what I should get and he suggested curry chicken and roti and it was delicious. I ate the entire meal with my hands as this is customary. I could just eat the roti alone The atmosphere was clean. It’s a very open space with a huge community dining table in the middle and window front seating. Very affordable! I will return to explore the menu further!

I can’t go a week without stopping in for my usual order. The staff at Island Express matches the cool vibe perfectly. Each course revealed new heights of culinary skill. It appears family members run this restaurant and are notably hospitable. The spot maintains exceptional quality.

Had more oxtail bones than meat. Flavor was ok but 3 oxtails doesn’t make it worth the $20 for the meal.

Ordered the Oxtail with okra and rice and peas. Now I will start by saying the food is delicious, HOWEVER the the portions you get for $18 dollars are pathetic you get 3 little pieces of oxtail with a little gravy for $18!!!! And the tin “plate” is considered a small plate anywhere else. The man scooped the oxtail one by one as opposed to scooping to plate it. The food was delicious but NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!! Go elsewhere to get your moneys worth. $18 for literally 3 pieces of oxtail in a small tin… thank you, NEXT!!

The servers are prompt while the menu offers good variety. The dishes satisfy completely. The energy helps you enjoy your meal. Workers here provided perfectly timed assistance. I want to try their other creations next time.

This is no frills fast casual dining with a very clean inside and a decent amount of seating. The service is quick. They run out of their plantains so be ready with a back up for side options. The prices to portions are great, I paid $15 for oxtail and $11 for goat curry. One dish is definitely enough to fill you up. The only thing I’d change is I wish the oxtail leaned in to the taste of the beef more with a stronger, more savory flavor instead of cinnamony sweet. I also wish the guava tarts had more filling and were softer.

not sure if there has been a change in their recipe, but the jamaican beef patties used to be so good but i don’t care for them anymore. this is the 3rd time i’ve visited, got more than one patty and they all have been dry, thin & just not good! bring the good juicy patties back please.
also maybe some indication of where the line starts would help. 2 people were served before me while i was standing there waiting for patties.
