    the front of a restaurant
    Ian W.

    I stopped in at Island Flavor in Downtown Bennington recently. Upon entering, the place smells great with the aromas of fresh cooked Jamaican food. The place is takeout only or DoorDash delivery or pickup. There is a big blackboard on the side wall with food offerings. There are a couple game boards in the front with a place to sit to wait for your order. They offer Jamaican meals jerk chicken,curry chicken, oxtail, curried goat, esco fish, steamed fish, curry fish, served with rice & beans and steamed cabbage & plantains. They also have festival, meat pies and juices too. I ordered a Steamed Fish Dinner ($20 plus tax) served with rice & beans (peas), steamed cabbage and plantains. They said it would take about 30 minutes to be ready, which was fine with me knowing the food is prepared to order. I got my order, boxed and bagged in 30 minutes as quoted. I enjoy this dinner at home. The steamed fish (snapper) was filleted topped with chopped peppers, onions, & greens in a savory sauce. The rice (light colored) & beans was soft going well with the shredded steamed cabbage and 2 plantain slices. Good flavors! I will be sure to order some meat pies with my next order

    Esco Fish!

    Tried this Jamaican cafe in Bennington,Vt. Got the curried chicken comes with rice and beans, fried plantain and sautéed cabbage. My husband said it's good but want more curry sauce. fried plantains was not ripe, and cabbage could have been warmer he said. Now my esco fish was made to order. It was as expected but could use a little salt. It brought back memories of my Jamaican co-workers, i always look forward for lunch breaks/dinner breaks just to smell and taste their food. Love the rice and beans. Will try the beef patties next time, non available today. We do like our food hot (temperature) i guess i could have warmed it up in the microwave. This a take out place.

    It was excellent, but too salty for me. Next time I will ask for less salt and see how that goes.
