Decided on a whim to try the $9.95 lunch special(chicken dishes only). We purchased, 1-Jerk Chicken and 1-Curry Chicken. The jerk chicken is deliciously good! The curry chicken was an afterthought once we tasted the jerk. Ms Vee was very kind and even let me sample the oxtail gravy, and locked me in to get it next time! Definitely returning! Very clean and organized interior, albeit WARM! read more

I've come here a few times and enjoyed the food ordered thus far. discovered it because we were going for Chinese, but missed the turn. circled back and decided to try this restaurant. I had not recalled in all of my life seeing this restaurant in this specific location so imagine my surprise. 1st visit was jerk shrimp. cooked to order so we waited about 45-50 minutes. I never had jerk shrimp and it was the best I've ever had. lol. this dish made me want to comeback. my next visits I had the oxtail bowl. Yum! curry chicken plate and then brown stew chicken. both good. they're now open on Sunday. my only bad is the Calypso drinks are overly priced. I'll get those from the convenience store. read more

I was first introduced to this restaurant by "Too Good to Go." I must say this was not a disappointment. The brown stewed chicken, peas and rice, cabbages and plantains were delicious. The serving size was very generous and I had enough to share. The curry chicken was also just as tasty. I tried the homemade beverage with ginger and it did not disappoint. The person who serves me each evening is always pleasant and recognizes customers when they enter with a smile. I was a bit skeptical when I first pulled up to pick up my first order but I was soon put at ease. Everything was so clean and inviting that I found myself instantly relaxed and comfortable here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a bit of Caribbean flavor. read more

I was able to enjoy this restaurant over lunch around noon. I got the jerk chicken with rice and beans and plantains. It was really good. The plantains were cooked to perfection and really tasty. The jerk chicken and rice and beans was a perfect blend with the jerk sauce. The meat pie was flat and cold but I'm guessing that it would've been better if I was able to heat it up. The service was quick and hospitable. Overall great experience. I'll have to try the curry next time. read more

Food is excellent. My husband who is very particular with Carribean Food said we are not longer driving to Conyers.... Stewed chicken on point and fresh Mac and cheese. Peas and rice. Haven't tasted patties or roti yet.. I am stuffed so far. read more

Pause.... Stop everything you are doing!!! Now! My brother told me about this place... It may not be fancy from the inside With decor details Or outside... But one thing is for certain... You are going to get authentic Jamaican flavor!!! This review I'm putting out is about the rice and peas And jerk chicken I've had jerk chicken in BROOKLYN NY ( hometown ) Jerk in Jamaica from different parts of the island Jerk chicken in Nebraska Jersey Washington DC But this isn't about the many places my tongue has been No, this is about a restaurant in atlanta One that has become a familiar takeout spot for entertainers... (If you know who you know who) So in this place you will find a feisty, but cool lady at the front... She is good peoples... And her customer service is straight up.. No cutting corners... I got jerk chicken with rice and peas on the side.. The rice and peas had oxtail gravy The rice was different.... I mean, it was adventurous.... Not a single grain undercooked or overcooked Perfect texture The oxtail gravy added a somewhat savory, buttery flavor over rice that was jazzed up with flavor.. This wasn't your regular rice and peas that would have Someone reaching for salt and condiments Everything was already there. I found myself eating it with a spoon And didn't even notice when I hit the bottom of the Container being empty "Mama said there would be days like this" The jerk chicken.... Wow!!!! Probably some of the best jerk chicken I have had in my life!!!! This chicken was so flavorful You could eat the bones and taste smoky, fiery jerk vibes.even in chicken breast It's very hard for people to have jerk chicken taste colorful Where there is breast involved They have achieved it!! The chicken needs no gravy... No need for jerk sauce You want to really sample "da ting" Eat it as it comes to you Don't be fooled by the color if you are new to jerk chicken That's just the spices that color it It's totally legit... Jerk chicken can be... spicy, lip numbing, or just enjoyable I found this restaurant to be enjoyable with enough spice to get your nose running So the question remains Would I go back? I'm in California, and I would fly back for the jerk chicken Matter of fact.. when I book my flight.. I'm going to make sure I land during hours of this wonderful restaurant being open read more

I pass this place often on my way home from and decided to try it for lunch. The place is very very clean I will give them that. However, the food is just ok. I got the brown stew chicken lunch special. Again, everything was just.... Ok. Nothing special. Decent portion for lunch time. For the first time ever I had a BAD BEEF PATTY. It was hard, cold, and had literally no meat. Every bite was just flakey bread. Then I tore it in half to try to get to the meat and it looked like it had mold or worms or something. They also had no cocoa bread at 12 when they just opened at 11. Probably won't try this place again. Service was good. read more

Don't look for anything fancy when you enter, however the establishment seems very clean. I was greeted upon arrival by a very vibrant woman, she was so sweet & energetic! I like that they accept tap to pay. I was going to order through Uber eats but the fees for the meal I wanted alone was confusing, and overly expensive. For the best value, I recommend you just order at the restaurant. It's more reasonable. I ordered the oxtail peas & rice and cabbage. I also wanted to order a chicken patty, but at the time there weren't any available. At this establishment you aren't able to substitute the cabbage or rice. Addition of any other side is extra. If I were you I wouldn't anyway. Both were VERY FLAVORFUL. Rice nice, and fluffy. As for the oxtail, I do wish I was served larger pieces. I do wish that the flavor packed a bit more of a punch. However, the more I ate them the better the flavor got. Don't get me wrong they were not nasty at all! Also, the texture was great. Super tender. I recommend this place, and will return. read more

Had lunch at my office building from Island Take Away and while I haven't had too much Caribbean food, in my opinion, this was awesome. The curry chicken had heat but won't blow your taste buds. And uber moist. Rice and peas were just the right consistency. The plantains were just the right sweet spot after the spice. I could eat bowls of this food, if they'd let me. If they ever come back, I'll be first in line. read more

I ordered the chicken curry via GrubHub. The chicken was fresh, the cabbage was good and the plantains were cooked well. I would recommend.

Ordered food for work function. Driver went to pick up and they were not open. Tried calling several times no answer. Will never order again! read more

We were greeted with open arms as if we were family. Food was delicious, Service was warm, friendly and fun. Ambiance was laidback with the rhythm of island music in the air....

First off, let me apologize for not getting pics of the food. It was a rough day. I will do better Yelp, please forgive me. Second, the restaurant is pretty easy to find and parking is easy, but I can see it being a struggle during lunch time. When I entered, there was no one present. It took me a minute to realize you have a bell to ring for service. I rung the bell and was promptly greeted and assisted. The woman that took my order was very sweet and quite comical. For myself, I ordered the Vegan Salmon, Curried, with Rice & Peas, Plantains and Cabbage. I ordered my friend a Vegan Chicken (she wanted jerk but the cashier informed me that was a no-good combination), Brown Stewed, with Rice & Peas, Plantains and Cabbage. During the long wait, the cashier returned from the back (I assume she also helps prepare the food, because she spent a lot of time back there), and informed me that they were out of vegan chicken. She recommended the beef, so I ordered that. I guess the cashier knew that the wait was long so she gave me a Homemade Ginger Beer on the house. Now for the food: Homemade Ginger Beer: very strong ginger taste. A+ Vegan Salmon: very nice texture and taste. I love that it's wrapped in nori. A+ Curry Sauce: very flavorful. A Rice & Peas: dry and bland. C Cabbage: bland. B- Plantains: cooked just right, dark and caramelized. A Vegan Beef: typical vegan beef strips. B+ Brown stew: very flavorful, just right. A Overall, I was pleased. The sauce was able to dress up the rice and peas and the serving size was enough for two meals. A solid place to get a meal. read more

My review is based off of a program called Fooda. Different restaurants vendors visit my place of employment to sell their food. Island Takeaway is located on Old National however they did business with us at our facility in Gwinett County. I ordered Jerk Chicken, Cabbage, Rice and Peas. The Jerk Chicken was a quartered leg cut into two pieces. Thigh and leg. Nice big size piece of chicken. The flavor was spicy just like I like it but not where my mouth was stinging for hours. That was a plus. The cabbage was good and a tad crunchy but you don't want it to be soggy. Everything was nice. They gave me their business card and let me know they were located across from Grown Folks on Old National. I hope they return again. read more

It had seeds & everything im so confused it grossed me out for like 1 minute lol. overall the jerk chicken was seasoned well & the Mac was decent too. It was giving great value cheese with a lot of seasoning lol read more

After three years I gave this place another chance. But my opinion still stands. Let's start with the worker, when I walked in she just literally looked at me. No greeting, I know I'm pretty but geez. So I said "Hey, can I get a small rice and peas with heavy oxtail gravy" she said it'll be out in a few minutes. So I'm thinking oh yes, this is going to be good (iykyk) my excitement became sadness as soon as I opened the plate. Still tasteless and literally one half teaspoon of gravy. read more

Their vegan food is good. They have vegan chicken, vegan fish, and vegan beef all in either brown stew or curry. The rice is vegan obviously, as well as the plantain and roti skin. This place is consistent, and i recommend. read more

The food is amazing! Love the how authentic the food is and I'm from NYC so I put my stamp of approval on here since they are New Yorkers as well! If you're in to Caribbean cuisine definitely come to Island Takeaway! read more

This is my weekend pleasure. The food is hot and fresh but plantains and ginger drink is a must for me. I have tried different things on the menu and has never been disappointed. It's nice to be greeted with a smile. It is rare to have a business with EXCELLENCE customer service and great food. Thank you!!! I will definitely be back! read more

I picked this place spot to try some new Jamaican food. The reviews on Yelp & Google were good so why not give it a try. The location was a little hole in the wall. When the cashier came out she was very friendly. She asked if we needed vegan options and any help finding options on the menu. After placing our order, we sat at a table and it was covered in crumbs . It didn't take long for our food to come out. As you can see, it looked delicious. I was so excited to only see two plantains on the plate. The food overall was not authentic. I could have made the rice my self. The chicken had a great texture; however, the curry flavor was completely absent. I couldn't tell if I was eating coco bread or white bread. Those two little plantains were good. Overall, I would not recommend and I will not return. read more

Island is one of the best Jamaican food restaurants I've eaten from on the Southside. The brown stew chicken, rice + peas, and Mac and cheese dinner is so good. It's not too spice and they gave me so much food I shared some and still had leftovers. It's cheap, good, and convenient! read more

Great food and wonderful service! My ongoing search for good Jamaican food was satisfied today when I found this little gem on old national highway. I actually had another spot programmed into my navigation, but as I was driving I saw this place and had to stop. I had some curry chicken and cabbage sans peas with rice (we're skipping carb these days), and I was very very good. The excellent service made the food even more appreciated. Can't wait to return. read more

Good service great food ..... not the best location tucked away in the side of the road but excellent food either way. The homemade drinks are the best (soreal & gingerbeer). Third time here and I always get the patties. For Caribbean food on old national this might be my #3 overall!!!! read more

This is by far the best Jamaican food in Atlanta that I've tried so far. I've tried about 8 and this is the best.

I had the stew oxtails. The food tastes great. This took me back to vacation in Montego Bay. The portion was ample. The servers were all smiles. I really enjoyed the peas and rice with macaroni pie. I wanted to eat two plates. This was an excellent suprise. I cant wait to try their other entrees. read more

Take my money away and give me nasty food one time!!! That's all you will ever get from me again! The dryest and most sorry roti ever. There were three potatoes chunks and dry curry chicken thighs. The curry seasoning was bland. Maybe I look like I don't know roti??? The lady at the counter was real sweet and asked me if I wanted gravy on my peas and rice which I didn't even get. The cabbage had the most potential with seasonings and was undercooked. The plantains were the best thing on the plate. I should have known better but I did want to support a small business... read more

i can go ahead and scratch these folks off my list, as many times as they have come to my job and i past them buy knowing i can do a better job without even tasting their food. i finally today tried their food and they just proved that i can do a better job. how you serve dry brown stew chicken. the key word is stew, thst chicken makes it own juices. the jerk had a wonderful smell and color to it but it was so tasteless they had to put sauce on that too!! i asked if they cooked their rice with scotch bonet peppers, guy serving said "yes ma'am" i got excited but when ate the first bite of yhe rice, i didnt take anymore....it was badly over cooked. the oaxtails had a great smell to them but needed more seasoning and to cook longer. on an up side....the cabbage was good!! i wish i could find the person responsible for finding this place and ask them to tell island take away to stay away!! read more

The food here is amazing and service is impeccable. I had the escovitch fish with rice and peas, cabbage and festival. All I can say is umm umm delicious!!!

The most pathetic thing ever. Do not trust this place. They put sliced American cheese in the bun n cheese. Do you know how disrespectful that is? Not to mention the cheese turned hard and crusty. Why would any authentic Jamaican restaurant do that ? The beef patty wasn't all that great either. I wouldn't dare risk buying any actual food in there if you can't get a snack right. read more
