If you're looking to spice up your food adventures in Columbia, add Tati's Island Cuisine to your…read morelist because this spot brings the island flavors! For our lunch, we decided to dive into the menu with the Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtail, and let me tell you... every bite was packed with flavor. The kind of meal where the first bite makes you pause because you can instantly taste the love and seasoning that went into it. The Brown Stew Chicken was tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. Served with rice, and one side, I upgraded my side to the Rasta Pasta and it was 100% worth it. Creamy, delicious, and the perfect addition to the meal. My husband went for the Oxtail with peas and rice plus a side of macaroni and cheese. That oxtail was cooked perfectly -- rich, comforting, and full of those bold island spices you hope for. And don't forget about one of their lemonades! We got Island Apple Lemonade -- refreshing, sweet, and the perfect match for all those incredible flavors. One thing that stood out to us was the attention to detail. The sides weren't just there to fill the plate -- they brought their own flavor and made the whole meal come together. We left already talking about what we need to try next because there is definitely more of this menu we need to explore! If you're craving authentic island-inspired comfort food in the Columbia area, be sure to give Tati's Island Cuisine a try! Everyone was so kind and can't wait to go back!

Oh, and the oxtail egg rolls, my,my,my! My disappointment was that they were sold out of plantains. The staff was really friendly, the mural on the wall was beautiful and the music playlist was rocking if you enjoy old school R&B. Most people did carry out, but I chose to stay and really enjoyed the flavors and music!.

Location is Bush River Rd same shopping center as Roses…read more We've been here quite a few times for me it's mainly the Patti and coco bread. They are priced slightly lower than Island Grill. I believe variety includes chicken, beef, spinach but not certain. My wife gets the curry goat and oxtail plates, the portions of meat and rice is large. The plantains are only two and cabbage is smaller than rice. I think the meat is probably the closest tasting it can get to the real thing. No Jamaican restaurant I visited in America can get the jerk chicken taste quite the way it tastes in Jamaica. The rice and peas don't have much coconut taste if any but they give a large portion. Plantain are good, our cabbage last visit was mushy not their best work as I don't remember having this complaint before. We haven't tried Escovitch or veggie plate here. There is a small section of spice bun, biscuits, other dry goods and freezer drinks. Sparse indoor seating, no bar, mainly pick up orders. Interior decoration features some geographical illustrations, pics, possibly hand crafted traditional pieces (not for sale), and boombox music. Prices are high for plates, perhaps that reflects portion sizes. Employee/customer relations is polite. Quick option of the few in Columbia on Irmo side.

What's hot - Menu. It's a pretty extensive menu- meats, veggies, tofu, maybe even for vegans. - Service. For ordering food for a family of 6, our order was ready in about 20 minutes. Everything was properly wrapped up. Nothing was missing. When I gave them the name for our order, everything was ready. They're also open during major American holidays, such as Christmas and New Year's, which is very helpful. - Location. Pretty easy to find in a small plaza with other shops. When we went on Christmas Day, all their tables and chairs were pushed to the side, so I'm uncertain whether they're currently doing table service or if it's just take away orders. - Price. Very reasonable, especially given the portions. If you order a quart, versus a pint, it's less than $10, which includes white rice. What's not - Quality. As a child of immigrant parents, who grew up in Silicon Valley, CA, where there is a large community of Chinese immigrants, I can say that this is not authentic Chinese food. It's catered for the local American population. The flavor and seasoning of the food is very generic. For example the difference between my spicy garlic tofu and vegetable delight was only the tofu. All the vegetables between the two dishes were literally the same, including the sauce/taste. With that said, it's not terrible. For Americanized Chinese food, it works. Final Answer Wouldn't be my first choice for quality Chinese food, but it's reliable.

Mind you I ordered on their own website and it was not mentioned anywhere and when I ordered my food it prompted me to choose my drink while ordering the combo for delivery. I called them twice to get it resolved and both times I got the wrong answer from the staff. Tea is such a cheap thing that to make an argument with a customer over it is just petty. Now they have lost a customer. A restaurant should never leave a bad taste in your mouth. They did with their service.

However, I found their "authentic" very different than my version of authentic. Truth be told, I didn't expect much since we are in a very non-Asian part of the country. I would actually have been shocked if the food was the quality I am accustomed to in NYC. Most of what we had tasted like bad Chinese take out food served in a nicer sit down restaurant. I wish it was better, but I guess I'll just have to skip Chinese cuisine while in this part of town.

There is not a lot of interior seating so prepared to wait in your vehicle (I'm a fan) . The menu is easy to follow and all of the staff is welcoming. I like that when they give an estimated time for your order to be ready, that it's pretty spot on! Now to the food. The salmon was not dry, nor was it over a seasoned. The macaroni was awesome and the okra was fresh and crispy. Not a huge rice eater and it was a lot, I ate some of eat; it was also good. Definitely on the visit again list!

Everything is a la cart , but the portions are generous. Today I tried Krako , which isn't on the menu, but you might can ask for it. They said it's when the plantains are over ripe, they are smashed with spices and then fried . It was sooo good, though just a bit oily. Next, I decided to try their stewed goat and their signature spinach rice. The goat was unbelievably tender and the broth was so flavorful. I ended up mixing my rice Into the sauce after I'd eaten all the meat. I will definitely eat here again, I want to try their whole fried red snapper. Prices are affordable. My meal was about $35 with tip, and I have a to go container.

I'm excited about our future dine-in's & I'm looking forward to trying the okra soup w/the yam fufu next The plantain fufu (my fav) has a slight sweetness that really compliments the peanut butter soup... & please give the staff grace... it's a small, busy business, so consider elsewhere if you're in a rush. The atmosphere was homely w/light Afro music in the background. If you have kids needing a highchair, I saw at least 1 lol so maybe bring your own chair just in case. Limited parking, so carpool if doing a group thing.
