Great Caribbean food in the neighborhood! Bomb service and the authenticity culture is what I…read moreexperienced here at the De island's restaurant. The menu had the islands cultural dishes such as oxtails, curry, stew chicken, jerk chicken and much more! The menu was pretty simple with the main protein that comes with chosen sides. We ordered the mixed jerk chicken with macaroni side salad, festival along with the rice and peas. B O M B! Bursting with flavors the jerk chicken didn't even need the sauce. Rice and peas always soft tender with a splash of oxtail sauce was a hit! Islanders never disappoint and always delivers without a doubt!

I had a craving for oxtail, so I found a place on Uber Eats offering a special and decided to…read moreorder. I got two orders of oxtails with white rice. The rice and meat came in separate containers, and I was surprised that there were no vegetables included with the food. The rice was delicious; it was callaloo rice. The oxtails were okay - they were tender but could have used more seasoning. However, after eating, I started experiencing stomach pain, but I didn't think much of it since it was my first meal of the day at 2 pm. I had some leftovers, so I ate another serving around 8 pm. Unfortunately, my stomach started hurting even more, and by 11 pm, I was very sick. For several hours, I felt like I was in a nightmare. I was confined to my bathroom as everything in my stomach forcefully expelled itself in every direction, resembling a grotesque scene from a horror film.

Uhm.... I really wanted to love it. Really bad! But it didn't hit the mark for me this time. The…read moreservice was okay. I was able to order my food rather easily. The lunch special is $5 plus tax, which is a pretty good price for the food that they give you. You get a side of rice and veggies and chicken. Either stewed or curry. Maybe i should've gotten the curry. Stew chicken for me is my go to if im going to a Caribbean spot for the first time. I've been here for the doubles. But I've never tried their food. I saw in the window that they had the $5 lunch special so i tried it. I ordered rice and peas, steamed veggies, and stew chicken. I was NOT impressed, and incredibly disappointed. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but it's honest. The rice was mushy and didn't have much flavor. The cabbage or steamed veggies just tasted like it had a bit of black pepper. The gravy from the stew chicken was flavorless. It didn't enhance the flavor of the food at all, it actually made the rice even more mushy. The cabbage left a weird white cast on the rice it was positioned over. The stew chicken flavor just wasn't there for me. I was very disappointed and surprised because that spot is always packed with people. So it's safe to assume it's good. But maybe i just went on a bad day. For this to be my first introduction to Trinidadian food, I'm a bit disappointed. I've heard such good things, but what i had for lunch wasn't it. Imma give this a 2 stars. The amount of food they give for $5 is hefty. But i threw my entire tray away. Maybe i just chose the wrong items. Idk. But it's a no for me. See pic below

Terrible Service received Thursday April 11, 2024. My…read morehusband and I ordered takeout .. As my husband started giving his order to the server, he walked away. Then walked back to the counter to ask us if we were ready to place an order. I advised him that we were trying to give him the order! My husband asked for vegetables, the server stated that there were no hot vegetables only salad. Seconds later a young woman brings out steamed cabbage, and the server didn't even offer the veggies and my husband had to ask to get a serving (attitude intensified). I then placed my order with the rude one and downsized my order just because I didn't want to prolong the experience. This was definitely giving attitude with rice and guess what? The food was so damn mediocre, for all of that I will cook. This is no Trincity people, how dare they treat ppl like this with such subpar food.. never again!

I was extremely disappointed. Everything was way too salty. They didn't even have cabbage. Wtf it's almost 1pm how do you not have cabbage... ended up with either potato salad or Mac salad. The only thing my husband liked was the mac salad and the potato salad. But in my opinion, there was too much mayo in it. The meal was so bad, my husband couldn't even finish his curry goat. Out of all the restaurants we've tried, this is actually the worst. I was parched after eating part of this meal.

Inside is small and narrow so no seating. They sell different drinks from Caribbean to American. Prices are reasonable as they sell either medium or large plates. They have a hot bar with Macaroni Pie, stew chicken, jerk, curry shrimp, rice and peas, noodles, cabbage to name a few. I had the curry shrimp with Macaroni pie and cabbage and it was amazing! The flavors were so good. I would recommend anyone visiting NY that's on the Utica side to check out thIs place.

The meal I ordered- Salmon with veggies and rice $28 The rice was delicious Salmon- Dry as the Sahara desert Veggies- never put in my plate Service- A shorter dark skinned woman with the worst attitude served me and didn't even complete the plate. Overall 2/5 bc only the rice was delicious. I would not recommend this place and the quality of food matched the poor attitude in which it was served. Ambiance- Very tiny, hole in the wall, in and out for food no seating At almost $30 I felt cheated.

DO NOT GO THERE!!!! THERE FOOD IS NASTY AND IT IS STALE!!…read moreI bought an oxtail dinner from them. I told them I didn't want any grease veggies and no rice. I live 3 blocks from them and by the time I could reach the 2nd block someone told me my drink spilled in my bag. I ignored it. When I got home, the entire contents of food, napkin and utensils was covered in grease. When I opened the foil container the oxtail was red, I guess from coloring, and the smell from the container was enough to sick anybody stomach. It is so gross. It went straight in the garbage. I don't make a habit of buying food off the street, but from time to time I like to patronize my local businesses. They will never receive another penny to any amount of dollar from me. NASTINESS!!
