Small restaurant with polite and courteous staff. Music really nailed the vibe. Clean bathrooms for those who care!

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.

The vibe you have your one love kind of music playing and some other know island music playing to enjoy the atmosphere it was very vibrant and chill with a lot of space to enjoy food and drinks and sit down. The service was smooth and pleasant and quick with us getting our order. We both got the small jerk chicken special where it comes with two sides 13.99 x2 plus taxes. With our two sides we got Mac and cheese which is up charge , and the other sides are no up charge all sides were good and didn't miss in the flavor department and jerk chicken was delicious and had that nice spice to it with the chicken be dark meat and falling off the bone you know it was made with perfection I was very impressed and would definitely recommend this place if your looking for some good Jamaican food.

MP Island Cafe is located near Military Circle in Norfolk. It serves as both a restaurant and a…read moregrocery store. The store is clean, well-organized, and has friendly staff and ample parking. I primarily visit MP's for their grocery selection to cook homemade Caribbean cuisine. They carry a wide variety of well-known Caribbean brands, seasonings, drinks, and snacks. I've found their produce quality to be superior to other international markets, all at very affordable prices. Whether you are looking for a great selection of Caribbean groceries or a quick bite to eat I recommend stopping by.

I tried them before a long time ago and haven't had them recently, so I was really anticipating having them again. The ordering process was quick and easy, we used their computer screens to put our orders in. Not too bad of a wait for our food. The staff were very communicative on our food status while we were waiting, which I appreciated. My order included an Afro pie (7.5/10), I absolutely loved the sauce it came with, but I do feel like the meat inside and pie itself was dry. Sautéed green beans (10/10). Chicken Egusi soup w/ pounded yam (9/10), the flavors were amazing! I loved how savory it was; however, I do believe they switched the spice level of my soup with my sisters because I asked for none-little spice, yet my soup tasted like it was their highest spice level !! I had to keep taking breaks while eating because while it did taste really good, it was also so so spicy! I really did enjoy my meal, despite receiving the wrong spice level in my Egusi soup. I will def return again soon. My overall rate of experience : 8.6/10

I recently dined at Yendidi and I feel spiritually, emotionally, and culinarily changed…read more First of all, the atmosphere? Immaculate. It's the kind of place where you walk in thinking, "Oh nice," and walk out Googling how to recreate the lighting in your own living room. Cozy without being cramped. Trendy without making me feel like my shoes were judged. The food? Listen. I would like to publicly apologize to my taste buds for ever doubting them. Every bite tasted like the chef stood over the plate whispering, "You deserve this." Bold flavors, perfectly cooked, plated like it was about to audition for a food magazine. Now why four stars instead of five? Because I have trust issues. And also because the food came out so good I now have unrealistic expectations for every other meal I will ever eat. That feels like a burden I wasn't prepared to carry. Service was friendly, attentive, and didn't once make me feel bad for asking, "What's that?" three separate times. Water refills were prompt. Smiles were genuine. No one hovered. No one disappeared into the void. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I pretend I discovered it before it was cool? Also yes. Four stars. Only because if I give five, they might get too powerful.

The couple who run this place are very sweet and advised me to wait the ten minutes for the spicy patties to come out. They were as good as I expected and might have even torched my mouth, but that's what I get. The jerk chicken comes with varying spice levels, but I don't think anybody can get like a medium jerk chicken and not have their head blown off. So just get the normal stuff and deal with the spice because it's just that good. Got seating for about ten to twelve people, tables included. Come in for a nice home-cooked meal and relax.
