Came here with five others for an early Saturday night dinner and they were able to accommodate us easily. The food was gooooood. Everything was well-seasoned and flavorful without being overly salty. All of the meat dishes were tender. Everyone loved their dishes and agreed the food was worth coming back for!

Omg this place is magic. It’s a frigid cold day and my fiancé asked me to make a five-hour Caribbean recipe, which I was not about to do. So happy I ordered takeout here instead. The service was great, but more importantly; the food was ! good. Soooo delicious, and hit all the right spots: warm and comforting, but also spicy and flavorful with a kick, just a joy all-around. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I’m beyond grateful to have experienced this plate full of love, and can’t wait to eat it again many, many times going forward!

Pleasant neighborhood spot where you feel like walking in to your aunt’s house for a meal. This restaurant offers only indoor seating with paid street parking in front and free parking in surrounding area. Upon entering, we were told to seat ourselves. Our waiter is friendly and makes good recommendation. Food came out quickly, tasty, and is great portion. For 3 adults + 1 kid, we ordered 2 entrees and 2 appetizers and it was enough food. The restaurant also offers a variety of Jamaican Soda and we enjoyed the ginger beer! Overall, an authentic meal in a relaxing vibe.

Had the Chicken Stew, mac and cheese, and the Goat Curry here. The sauces were unreal and meat fell off the bone on both. Def recommend the rice and beans over the jasmine. Veggies were also wonderful. Best food I’ve had in crown heights so far. It was completely empty, which was off putting, but unwarranted. Service wasn’t world class, but who cares. The mac and cheese was the best I’ve had outside my own kitchen. Make sure you ask for the house hot sauce. Portions are legit. We had leftovers. Thank you. <3

This establishment offers excellent food. We decided to try several items from the menu, and while some dishes stood out more than others, overall, the food was enjoyable. The service we received was decent, although there was an issue with the timing of our order. Surprisingly, our food arrived later than that of customers who arrived after us, even though we had placed our order before them. It’s unclear how the kitchen operates, as this was an unexpected occurrence.
Among all the dishes we tried, the curry goat and oxtail stood out as our favorites. Their flavors and preparation were particularly satisfying.

Our friend brought us to The Islands and she said it’s her favorite Caribbean Cuisine in the neighborhood. The decor is humble, simple and wide-spaced with plenty of seating.
There are limited but signature options on the menu. We got Ox Tail with Rice & Bean, Curry Chicken with Steamed Veggies and Salad with Jerk Chicken. The portion was huge with a reasonable price and we left a lot to go.
Food was amazingly delicious, especially the jerk chicken, which was extremely tender and juicy. We also were impressed by their rice & bean, surprisingly appetizing and smelled so great.

Spicy food? Yes this is the place for you. My tolerance for spice is terrible, but still tried some of the food here and it was great! This place is byob, and the staff were really nice. We ordered mac n cheese with ox tail gravy, jerk chicken, ox tail, shrimp garlic and curry goat. Each protein we got came with rice and veggies. We did like a family style so we each got a bit of everything. Everything was really flavorful and spicy so I had most of the ox tail because that wasn’t spicy. Wish I could handle spice because all the food was flavorful, juicy and soft!

AMAZING! from start to finish, chef (and owner) should be on one of the Food Network shows. Not only is he personable and kind but his food is ridiculously delicious, jerk chicken wings, oxtail and macaroni and cheese (oh my), save room for dessert, which their mom makes, insane cheesecake with a pineapple crust and warm guava syrup over the top. WOW! What a meal! What a gifted chef and beautiful family run establishment this is. True soulful home cooking at its finest.

The food was five stars! The waitress, Celine was 5 stars. BUT! She was the only person working the whole room so we waited literally 2 hours to get our food. Also, the restaurant was extremely cold. Many diners were eating with their winter jackets on. I would recommend the Islands because the food and vibes are so good but bring a good book and only go on warm days.
