This place is awesome. The owners are great, the vibe is super relaxed and service is efficient. ....but the star of the show is that curry goat. Stitchy in the kitchen is a magician, he never misses . I meant to take a picture, but once I starred eating that plate was GONE. Definitely going to be back. read more

I can't rave enough about how good the food was!! Customer service was on point as well. My food was so hot. I'm a stickler for fresh food. I can't wait to go back... probably today actually! lol read more

Didn't feel like cooking, so I stopped by this spot because I was seriously craving some brown stew chicken. Not pictured: the beef patty--because I was hungry and ate it way too fast . But let me tell you, that patty was flaky, flavorful, and totally hit the spot! Now, the brown stew chicken? Chef's kiss. Cooked perfectly, and the meat was literally falling off the bone. Just how it should be. I live sweet plantains perfect balance of soft and caramelized. I did carry-out , but the inside is nice little setup with booths and even a bar if you want to dine in. I'll definitely be back when the craving hits again! read more

Not sure if I got a bad batch but it was simply okay.... Nothing to jump around and get again. I got the jerk chicken, Mac & cheese, and rice. No seasoning or flavor on any of it other than the sauce. Disappointing... read more

Great Good Great Service ! 10/10. Everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The jerk chicken was juicy with the right amount of spice, the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy without being dry and the rice and peas tied it all together read more

Zero complaints. Service was good. My family of 4 was greeted and was asked if we had any questions about the menu. Food portions were great! Food was really tasty and flavorful. Ambiance gives small local Jamaican vibes. read more

I really liked the vibe and the music inside Island Tingz. The atmosphere was fun, and the food had big portions, which I appreciated. The only thing I didn't like was the smell when I walked in -- it kind of smelled like stale chips -- but once I got settled, everything else was fine. I ordered cabbage, but they brought out coleslaw instead. Even with that mix‑up, the food tasted good. You can really taste the Jamaican flavor in every bite, and the seasoning was on point. Overall, it was a solid experience, and yes, I would go back. read more

This food was so good, after eating it I was in a Thanksgiving dinner after trans... I am glad I sat towards the back, babe I ate that chicken with my fingers. The curry chicken reminded me of good chicken dumplings without dumplings and the jerk chicken flavor had a subtle bbq taste. It was uhm uhm uhm satisfying good. The vegetables blended perfectly in the rice. The cabbage was served with thin slices of carrots, all I needed was cornbread to mix in it. My stomach was satisfied and my mouth enjoyed each and every bite. FYI it is pricey, but it is worth it. I had two glasses of Jamaican punch. If you do not know about it, shame on you. You will not be disappointed. Customer service was excellent! Plenty of booths and tables, plus patio dining. A great spot for a date, no matter what day of the week it is. Everything was great! read more

Let's start with the service! The woman working at the counter did not greet me nor thank me for patronizing her establishment. I told her I was there to pick up my order and she just pointed at the bag. She proceeded to sit down and talk on the phone.CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVERYTHING ' and for this reason don't think I'll return. However ,The oxtails were good only 3 seed to my plate . The cabbage and brown stew chicken lacked flavor. read more

Decided to visit Island Tingz because I had a craving for Jamaican food. This was my first visit. I'm so glad this place is relatively close. It's located in a small plaza right on FM 1960. Cute place with plenty of parking. I was torn between my two favorites jerk or brown stew chicken. Thank goodness for the 2 meat combo. The meal did not disappoint! The amount of food I was given is enough to feed me for a few days. I will definitely return! read more

I have driven by Island Tingz so many times and have told myself to stop by...Last night, I finally did and was not disappointed! While walking up I saw people dancing and heard the music jamming! It was a whole vibe on a Friday night. I ordered at the counter for takeout. It did not take me long to decide what I wanted and order my meal. My food came out quick and was hot! They have great portions for a great price! My food was so delicious. I will be back soon!! read more

I have not been to this spot since it was a Cajun restaurant. It's now changed hands 2 times since then. I hope this business stays a while though. The interior is all decked out with Jamaican colors and they have a full bar. I didn't see a menu of drinks, but I visited during lunch and there was no customers dining in, except for me. They seem to be mostly takeout, at least during weekday lunch hours. They have a small lunch menu of mostly chicken items, so I took advantage and ordered the jerk chicken. My 2 sides were rice and peas and plantains. The flavor of the jerk chicken was really good and was just a little spicy, but not so much I couldn't eat it or feel uncomfortable. I really enjoyed the chicken since it was very tender. You receive 2 pieces, a leg and a thigh; the thigh was chopped into 3 pieces. The rice and peas are good and pretty standard as a side. The plantains were very delicious, but this is also one of my favorite sides when eating Jamaican or Columbian food. I also added a drink. They don't have a soda fountain, only a cooler near the register with bottled beverages. They were out of my first two choices during my visit, so I went with a pineapple guava drink which was delicious. All of their bottled drinks in the cooler are imported from Jamaica, so you are getting the real deal. Service is friendly. Even while dining in, you will receive your meal in a to-go container. No points for presentation, they are all about the flavor of the food here. Not my average lunch, but I really enjoyed it. Luckily I visited for lunch, I was able to dine for less than $15. Northeast Houston certainly has a void in Jamaican restaurants, so it's a welcome spot for the Humble area. read more

Island Tingz Caribbean Grill - Jerk chicken, lunch portion, with plantains and rice and peas. - Caribbean Near Me - Humble, Texas

The food was amazing. I had the jerk chicken here while my girlfriend had the ox tail. The ox tail gravy was also amazing.

Just tried this place for lunch today. I work nearby the IAH airport. It was really good! And the service was good as well. I ordered the brown stew chicken lunch plate with Mac and cheese and plantains. I also got a curry chicken patty as well. I am not Jamaican nor Caribbean so I can't speak to the authenticity but man this food was really good. Brown stew chicken is tender and so flavorful. Sides I got were good. The portion size for a lunch plate was pretty large as well. Curry chicken patty was amazing. I could eat just that for the rest of my life and be happy. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Food is amazing and big portions, service is fast and i always love to support small business. I ded recommend this place. Best Jamaican food in Town read more

In town for work and decided to give this place a try based on the positive reviews. I got the 2 meat combo- ox tails and jerk chicken. They actually forgot the jerk chicken but happily gave me a generous portion of it when I pointed it out. I was surprised by how much oxtail I got! Picture doesn't do it justice. Friendly and attentive service and good vibes. Loved the music. Seems like this place is also a hookah bar, if that's your thing. read more

I bought food from here ...it was nasty...the macaroni was not made from scratch...it was from the box with the powder cheese...very nasty and it was not real baked macaroni in a pie form. It was sloppy and very nasty. I will not be buying from them again . Most of my family and friends ordering food from them!!!!! read more

The place was a vibe and the service was amazing and we enjoyed the food!! Thank yall so much!!

3.5 stars At first when I saw my food come out in a meal prep tray, I was like But then I ate it all and ended up with a distended belly and was like The food is good and you get a hefty portion. I was disappointed that they didn't have jerk shrimp. Their reasoning being it takes too much time to make. The curry and coconut shrimp were quite alright. Definitely worth a try. Only needed a little bit of salt and pepper. Overall, on par with other Jamaican spots I've tried. read more

Went for lunch. the food came out quick, hot, looked good. Somewhat bland and not spicy. the music was loud when went in, after getting the food the lady turned it up. Just wasn't a very pleasant experience. Would not go back. read more

The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. Nice Jamaican music played. Ambiance I rated 6 out of 10. There were very few dine-in customers at 3 pm on a Saturday. The cashier did not understand English. No one greeted us. We asked to dine-in and was told to make our order with the cashier. She continued to play on her phone. She was not able to answer any of our questions about the menu. This was our first time at the restaurant. So she asked the cook to help us. He came from the kitchen looking annoyed rolling his eyes toward the ceiling. I only wanted to know if the fried chicken was white and dark meat. Which he seemed confused about until I asked was the fried chicken legs and thighs only, which they are. In fact all the chicken is dark meat, that may explain the reviews of not getting jerk wings, but legs and thighs, when ordering wings. We ordered and seated ourselves. Customer service was 2 out of 10. Less than 5 minutes after sitting down they called our name. The cashier stated oh your dining in. She said I will bring your food. All food is served in to-go containers. I ordered the fried chicken, peas and rice, and cabbage. The peas and rice were the stars of my plate. They were well seasoned. The chicken although it was seasoned well, was barely room temperature. The cabbage was cold. I was very disappointed, but I figured they seem to have a lot of pickup orders, so attention to orders being hot, may not be priority. I didn't complain I knew I would take the food home to heat up. I would rate the food 2 out of 10. My husband had the jerk chicken, peas and rice and plantains. My husband jerk chicken and peas and rice were delicious. It was very well seasoned and fresh. His plantains were cold; this was the worst thing on his plate. I ended up sharing my husband plate. Thank God he ordered the large plate. He rated the food 7 out of 10. If my food was fresh I would have rated my plate 8 out of 10. I rate restaurant over all on would I come back. The answer is NO! I hope the owner takes a look at this review and make some changes. The food is good, better customer service and increased quality control, would make this a restaurant one that we would visit often. read more

The service was terrible, and so was the food. The place was clean though. I went there during the day so I'm not sure how the ambiance is during night time. read more

Anytime I am in the area I plan to stop in. The food and drinks were superb. My oxtail was melt off the bone and my jerk chicken had just the right amount of warmth to it. We doubled up on plantain, mac and cheese and the rice and peas. I tried the rum punch and that was also tasty. Here's something I don't think people are used to. Different cultures have different vibes. This vibe is similar to a Vietnamese vibe. You come for spectacular food. And that is what you get, authentic food is usually that way. I read a few reviews that complained about the service. You order upon entering then sit. The food is brought to you. Our hostess was busy taking orders. When she had free moments she spoke to every table and accommodated requests. She was extremely friendly and nice. The hour drive was absolutely worth it. read more

First time trying Island Tingz and I was glad they exceeded my expectations. First the customer service from the owners made all of the difference, they were very personable and didn't mind answering any questions. Next was the deliciousness of the food. I had the oxtails, jerk pork chop, fried fish and the coconut shrimp. My favorite sides were the Mac 'cheese and the cabbage. Everything was great and the ambiance experience was even greater. read more

I sooooo badly wanted them to win. But alas! This is a fried chicken shop masking as Jamaican food Ambience:I am not sure if this place doubles as a club or lounge because they say they close at 10pm. But there's a bar, lights and they serve hookah. You order your food first then go ahead take a seat where you will be served. Service: one thing I'll Give them is that they're very honest about the wait time. They'll tell you exactly how long your food is going to take, so you know what you're getting. The staff and what I think was owner, super polite And nice! I had zero problems with them. Food: girl i don't know what's happening, but that's a Fried chicken shop operating as a Jamaican restaurant because that rice and peas mid!! Actually, the jerk chicken was not very spicy, barely had any jerk sauce on it, just some barbecue sauce. The rice and peas tasted like packaged, precooked rice and peas! (Insert clapping emojis) "How do you mess up rice and peas?!!" Anyways, my husband ordered the fried chicken, Mac n cheese and the cabbage which was actually more delicious than what I ordered. They didn't have beef but had chicken pAtties which were ok as well. Believe me, I want my Caribbean and African people to win when it comes to restaurants, but this wasn't it. read more

Here on business, I was craving some good curry and saw that this spot had roti, so I had to go and try it out. I ended up getting a chicken patty, and no, they didn't have coco bread, and I got the curry shrimp entree, which came with peas and rice, sweet plantains, and I ordered a dahl puri. I found the food to be good and I would go back. I just wished the plantains were more ripe, so they would've been soft and sweet and just a little less salt in the curry. Other than that, I have no complaints, and I would definitely recommend it. There is plenty of parking and seating inside. It's a bit of a drive, but it's worth it. read more

If you are in the humble area and are craving caribbean food I would definitely recommend island tingz. I ordered the jerk chicken rice and peas, and plantains. The jerk chicken is sauced and not dry rubbed (which I prefer) had a nice flavor to it with a little kick. The service was good and quick. Also the portion size was good for the price. Next time I go it will be on a friday so I can try their jerk ribs or wings. read more
