    Oxtails, Mac n cheese, collard greens and yams
    Ryshema F.

    I had been wanting oxtails for about two weeks or more so I googled the nearest place to me not realizing this place was less then 10 minutes from me. I place an order of oxtails collard greens mac n cheese and candy yams. The oxtails was absolutely delicious very tender melt in your mouth, the collard greens was flavorful and seasoned to perfection, yams was delicious as well, the mac n cheese was good but could've been more cheesier. But overall the platter was delicious this will not be my last visit. The customer service was pleasant and they were nice but nothing over the top. The restaurant was welcoming and gave a Jamaican vibe would like to go sit in one day. So overall I will give them a 9 and will definitely be going back again and again .

    Really long wait but they did ask me if i was willing to wait. Not to be bias but i was surprised to see the chef was Caucasian and although my meal came with 3 wings they only gave me two . Also the inside is a dingy looking but parking onsite

    Oxtail
    Shwanda S.

    Absolutely love their food.. although I wish they were consistent every day. The pork chops and the oxtails are my favorite

    Turkey with Mac-n-cheese, collards, rice and beans

    This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I'm from NC and I am thoroughly pleased. Whetting was seasoned well and the portions were great, especially the Mac-n-cheese.

    Beautiful turkey wings

    I just had the best turkey wings ever!!!!! it's my first time going and wowww!! the flavors and tenderness of the turkey I'm impressed !!!! Welll done Chef Bear (Norfolk Va.) www.foraseasoncharcuterie.com

    The Spot
    Gary N.

    The spot is by no means fancy. A few tables inside for Dine in. Hand made paper signs inside the front door. The interior is clean and very casual. The service was courteous, friendly and prompt. My wife and I went around 5ish on a Thursday evening. No wait but several pick up orders were handled during our visit. I ordered the large Jerk chicken with cabbage and greens (Rice and peas included) and my wife had a medium Stew chicken with greens and candied yams. This was hands down the most amazing Jamaican food we've had in our lives including Scotchies in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Chicken was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned in every bite. I have never had cabbaged that tasty, tender but not soggy. We vow to support this business whenever we're in the Norfolk/VA Beach area in the future. My wife almost never eats all of her meal when we dine out and she absolutely demolished everything in that styrofoam container.

    Ox Oxtails with 2 sides (Baked Mac 'N' Cheese and Collard Greens)
    Melica W.

    Food doesn't disappointment at all. The food is made to order and staff is friendly. I've ordered to-go and pick-up. Oxtails can be a little more fatty than I like. Wish they gave hot sauce (would be good for the collard greens). However. It hasn't been a bother too me too much since I do not eat there. The inside is a bar type feel with tables and seats. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but nothing one can't figure out. Will continue to come and support!

    Oxtails with 2 sides
    Chanel T.

    First time here, got the large oxtails with two sides. The oxtails were a bit fatty but were seasoned and cooked well, the Mac n cheese was dry and the collard greens weren't cooked down enough and were a bit tough but adding hot sauce saved them. This dish also came with choice of rice and beans or white rice. I would try another dish here

    Curry chicken
    A D.

    The food is good! We got the curry chicken, rice and beans, Mac and greens. I didn't like the mac at all, and the greens need a little hot sauce. The curry is amazing. They're fried chicken is also good it has a good crisp and it's nice and seasoned. The service is good, they are family owned and everyone is nice. The ambiance is not the greatest. It looks like a whole in the wall. It can have better decorations and lighting.

    My small hand engulfing the platter
    Kimberly H.

    This is the WORST "jerk" chicken o have ever had in my life. I've had jerk chicken in Jamaica, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida and this place doesn't even deserve to call this jerk chicken. The side options don't include plantains, what Jamaican restaurant doesn't offer plantains? I requested extra gravy which is described as "extra gravy on your dish", extra implying more of what you ordered. It stands to reason that since I ordered jerk chicken, it would be extra jerk gravy. NOPE, it's beef gravy for like a pot roast or something. Not to mention, the portion sizes are shameful. I ordered a small because all the aforementioned places I've gotten jerk chicken from tend to be very very generous, but this was an insult to be that small and for damn near $20. I ate 2 bites just so I could say I tried it and make sure my review is thorough, but, I'm super excited to have immediately thrown it away. I cannot speak for their other other dishes, but they need to clarify their menu and let people know the extra gravy is beef gravy, and that they'll still be hungry after, well definitely me since I put that swill in the trash.

    Dark Jerk Chicken with 2 Sides, 2 sides are Mac and cheese and cabbage
    Randolph m.

    Food had great flavor, I opted for the spicy when asked and I got it! It wasn't overly spicy just full of flavor. The place was pretty empty but had multiple pickup orders while I was there, looks like a little neighborhood bar that has some great Jamaican food. Service was quick

    Really good ox tails, and excellent cabbage, I think it may be the best cabbage I've ever had. Very well seasoned. I'll be back.

    Bear with me here; maybe this goes out into the abyss but I'm still gonna say it…read more Years & years ago I was wandering around the area & came upon Island Krave. It was brand new & the woman tending the store was friendly, energetic & passionate about the food she was serving. I ordered jerk chicken but she insisted on letting me have a taste of everything on the menu. Everything was delicious & I now had a new obsession- the sweet coco bread. For years after that whenever I was around I would pop in. I've since moved to GA and been living here for almost ten years. Any transplant will tell you sometimes only family & food keep you tethered to your home state. So happens this wknd I was in town for my sisters wedding & got my hair done a couple blocks away from Island Krave. As she finished up I placed an order on Uber eats, really excited for this meal- something familiar & missed. To see how the quality & care has declined truly hurts my heart. The portion of meat they served me was actually disrespectful to people who work hard for their money & choose to support a small business. These pictures are after they added some. If you're going to chop it to smitherens you need to measure it out to ensure the portions make sense. Anyone that cooks can tell you this is a thigh at best. & this is a $17 plate. I don't want to talk down on the place too much it's just sad how much of a let down the entire meal was after I felt like they threw my stuff together thinking it was being delivered and they wouldn't have to look me in the face. The Mac was good & the flavor of the chicken was as well. Cabbage mushy & salty. Rice is not yellow. & apparently $5 gets you one slice of coco bread now (I got two bc of my troubles, ha!) Idk I hope they can figure it out but personally I would never spend another dollar in this place.

    There's almost no quality Jamaican places. No " peas" with the rice... the curry chicken was…read morelacking flavor. The jerk chicken was more like bbq sauce. The cabbage was sour???? No salt or anything.. I was so excited to have soft fluffy coco bread. I kid you not; it was like a hot dog bun. So disappointed. We're running out of good options here.

The last time I went there, I ordered the goat stew, almost 40 minutes before I arrive. Once I got there, they said oh we're out of goat, they asked if I wanted beef, no one called me no one communicated. I was very shocked that they had someone that supposedly is supposed to be at the front at the register. A Caucasian lady, but the whole time I was there she was in the back, talking, laughing joking. When she told me they had no goat and if I wanted beef, I said sure, but why no one never called me, no one never communicated to me that you guys were out of goat and she just stood there and looked at me crazy she didn't say oh my gosh I'm so sorry you know I'll see if I can talk to my manager to see what we can do for the inconvenience. I didn't drive, I was in a Uber. So with Uber you only have a time limit at each stop, but thankfully the Uber driver was so nice and pleasant and I explained the situation and they didn't leave me. And I had autistic individual with me as well, so that could've been very bad. I know she just looked at me crazy because she was supposed to call and reach out and let me know something. So the whole time I'm there. I'm waiting for her to you know come talk to me or something. She's in the back just laughing and joking and you know just back there not upfront. As people were coming in, she'll come poke her head out and then go back in the back. I'm like what are you here for you not to cook so. I've been to Yendidi so many times, every time I've went there's always somebody at the front whether it's a guy or a woman. I've never seen a person that's supposed to be in the front, in the kitchen the whole time as if they're cooking. When I got my food. the beef was actually goo, they only gave me three pieces of beef two medium size pieces and a small piece which I was upset about. They could've gave me like more especially I be had I had to wait. Nobody called me or anything. The pounded yam, which I was so shocked that you have to pay for separately now it's not something that you can request as a side with your meal like how you used to be able to, on DoorDash that's how it is. The pounded yam was very soggy. My only issue with this location, is they just don't seem like they really care to put effortin, Idk if they lost their spark or care to deliver great food. I think that they give mediocre because they're not really interested in sharing their culture with Americans, it feels like they give us very poor quality food because they know half of us don't know the difference. But that's a bad look because individuals who are from their culture that come and look for authentic food come and eat. I've seen reviews were they review saying how they're not making authentic food, and selling old food. So it's very unfortunate. The places that I used to get very good African food from are no longer open, which is unfortunate. Covid took them out of business or they relocated to another state, and they were really really good and consistent very pleasant. So Yen need to work on, customer service. They need to work on quality, because all it takes is for someone to open up a restaurant, serve the same food. & They really have a heart and love for cooking and seeing people enjoy wonderful food with pleasant customer service and very consistent food Quality, only takes for one business like that, to come to close a lot of places down.

    Food was delicious. Service was prompt and waitress was kind and attentive. I will definitely be…read morereturning.
