    Curry Goat
    Andrew G.

    Excellent little lunch spot downtown. Don't know why I've never been here before, but I'll be coming back. Very cool vibes, bright and colorful with reggae music. The service from my Tour Guide, Bella, was outstanding. Lunch portions are generous, and the food is delicious! Highly recommend you check it out.

    Small lunch portion was $21 and the oxtails was mainly bones

    I want to start off by saying I've been to plenty of island food places and I understand that there can typically be a significant wait time. But this was by far the worst. Today 4 Sep 2025 me and 7 other individuals came in as a group to eat for lunch around 11:50. We placed our order and it was read back by the waitress. My order still was wrong and the excuse that was given, "well I put it in as a lunch." She didn't take accountability for it nor did she offer to fix it. My friend across the table's order was wrong as well and she claimed she didn't hear that. We asked for the check due to us already being late mind you when we came in there wasn't many people in the establishment. She took forever to bring it out making us even more late for our next appointment. I'm sure one could argue time management but we kept being told it's on the place, it's on the plate but nothing came out when it was suppose to. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The lunch portions was overpriced and even when I requested to speak to a manager the excuse that was given was "they are on the food line" Hope this helps but this place can definitely do better and need to teach better customer service to their student waitresses

    Beef Oxtail Lunch

    We stopped by during a busy lunch rush, and despite there being only one server, (shoutout to Bella) she did great job with our party of 7. The food exceeded our expectations! It was delicious and full of flavor. I got the oxtail with rice and peas, mac and cheese and collard greens, best combination I've had in a while!

    This restaurant was recommended by an employee at the Legacy Museum and we owe her a big thank you. It was nearby (limited metered parking) and the food was great... traditional Jamaican. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our server gave great recommendations for food and drinks. She didn't steer us wrong on anything. You could tell she really knows and loves the food. I had the oxtails dinner. It came with rice and peas (or white rice), and two sides; mine were collard greens and plantains - $17. Hubby had the jerk chicken with white rice, coleslaw and plantains - $12. Absolutely nothing disappointed including the festival bread (slightly sweet cornmeal fritters) - $1.50. They were out of several items and were not the fastest on service but the staff was kind and professional and the food was worth the wait.

    Vegan Curry Goat

    A friend and I went here for a lunch date today and it was super good! The food was fresh and the vegan curry goat was absolutely delicious. It had a lot of flavor in the portion size was very generous. I would recommend this place to anyone who is vegan and looking for a place to eat at downtown!

    Very good Jamaican dishes w/ quite a few vegan options in a very casual and lively setting. The prices were reasonable although the service was quite slow and they did not have a few of dishes on the menu available at the time.

    Escoveitch Fish-less Fillets Plantains Lunch

    I just got back from eating here and it was so wonderful. Great food, great service, and great smoothies! What else could we have asked for? Even though it was busy and the restaurant was understaffed, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. We had the vegan goat and the fish less fillet with the cole slaw, collared greens, plantains, and cabbage. Everything was so delicious! My favorite was the fish less fillet. It literally just melted in my mouth. It was so tender! The smoothies were also so delightful! Both my friend and I enjoyed everything that we had today. Double thumbs up!

    Update: I was in the area and decided to visit Island Delight because of my previous experience. Well we should have kept going. First, it took the waitress forever to take our drink orders. Second, my fiancé tried to order one of the juices and the waitress said that only a few could be made because no one knew how to make the others. Third, it took us 30 minutes to get those cups of water we ordered. Fourth, there was a big in the salt shaker. Fifth, once we finally ordered the waitress said they didn't have oxtails. We waited a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes without receiving food. Finally my fiancé and I had enough and left. The service was terrible.

    Beef Oxtails Dinner was absolutely delicious!!!! Placed a call in order. Arrived, paid and was promptly served within 10 minutes.

    Vegan Pepper steak
    Ron M.

    Excellent Authentic food from the "yard"! Great flavors and spices. From the time you walk in, you know Jamaican food is being cooked. I can see the culture from outside the restaurant. Great vegan options! I had the vegan pepper steak and the veggies were flavored to perfection; I fishless cakes has a very tasteful flavor. The vegan curry is my favorite vegan option. They also have cállalo. Parking can get full fast. So you may have to park across the street. I'll be back!

    So impressed with this place which is great since I didn't expect it. I love a good surprise. I had the goat curry with greens and plantains. The goat was done so well with a great portion size for a lunch portion. You only get 2 plantains which is slightly disproportionate to the greens and rice but that's just a slight criticism. The plantains should be fried a lil longer because it seemed slightly undercooked.

    Is it BYOB? To the 1st person who answered, the other question on here says they don't serve…

    If you mean "bring your own beer" the answer is "No". It's a restaurant and they sell drinks

    What's the alcohol situation?

    None offered

    I love their loaded teas here! Staff is very nice and they'll actually listen when you ask for…read morelight ice (unlike other places that still load the cup with ice). They're great about answering questions on their menus and their hours are great if you need a boost early in the morning. I've never had issues with them which is why I keep going. Prices are pretty great too.

    Need better customer service. I'm a person who loves to support new business, so when I see a sign…read moresay now open, i'm going to stop and try it out. So on today, I'm in Montgomery and sees the sign that say 334 Nutrition NOW OPEN, I go to the facebook page to see a menu of what all they have before I go in. I also wanted to buy a few boxes of tea to take home so when I'm on the go I will have them. So I enter the building with a hello, there is a customer there who speaks the two workers doesn't depart their mouth. One is sitting at a table, so then the other one finally decides to ask me what I needed, so I ask her about one of the teas and what was in it, she tells me and then I say I will have that one. She fixes my tea and say it will be $7.50, she gives me my change. I say do I need to sign this email list she say no thats only if I want to keep up the sales. I walk off slowly to see if she going to say thank you or if she would see if I wanted anything else. My plan was to spend a few hundred dollars there on some products because I need some more instead of me ordering online and having to wait on it and to support the business. But that didn't happen. She didnt say a word. I feel like if you running a business, customer service is a must..greet them, see how you can help them, tell them thank you with a smile so they will consider coming back. I'm sure I want be back
