    Jerk chicken, curry chicken with rice and peas

    Great little place for a homecooked meal! I got the curry lunch special, and my hubby had the jerk chicken. Both were delicious. Service was fast and very friendly. We will be back!

    We visited Jamaica Taste on a business trip to Savannah Ga. We wanted an authentic taste from Jamaica. A taste that is not readily found. We ordered brown stew snapper with rice and peas, and curry goat, and jerk chicken with rice and peas. The fish was done to order not cooked before hand. The owner/chef Andre did an excellent job. The fish was perfect. The taste, and presentation was splendid. The settings gave us an island vibes with reggae music jamming in the background. We were in Jamaica in Savannah. I recommend this place to all. Believe me you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Andre, his wife, and the host. See you guys soon.

    I was visiting Savannah for a work trip and wanted to try Jamaican cuisine near the area. I chose Jamaica Taste since it had dine-in seating, and it already received some positive reviews online. We were greeted when we walked in, and the man who serviced us was very nice. I ordered the curry goat (which I was told all of their meat is shipped directly from Jamaica) along with all the sides and it was delicious! Even the extra sauce on the rice was a nice touch. The Rasta pasta was just ok because the jerk chicken breast needed more sauce. I also tried the mac & cheese, beef patty, and tropical juices which were all 5/5. The restaurant itself does need some upgrades, like maybe air conditioning or repair the ceilings, but the overall experience was great.

    Ox Tail

    Loved! I got the ox tail with rice & peas and cabbage and it was delicious! The meat was very tender and the rice was covered in sauce, just how I like it.

    Jerk Chicken, Rice and peas, Cabbage

    I went here for the first time and was immediately greeted by the worker. He made me feel very welcome. I decided to order the jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back!

    The Jerk chicken meal is very good here, definitely the best jerk chicken that I have ever eaten. The Mac & cheese, cornbread, and collard greens are fairly decent. The worker at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The inside of the building definitely needs some renovations though, it did feel a bit ran down, but you tend to get that with small local businesses from time to time. The location fits the "hole in the wall" title because it was not that easy finding it.

    Takes forever and a day to get your food. My current time waiting is 32 minutes. Food is good but I'm reconsidering the wait time.

    Oxtails with Cabbage and Rice Dinner

    SUPERB MEAL. So fresh and hot. I will always stop here when traveling to Savannah. Great customer service and the wait was brief. Thank you Jamaican Soul

    I'm not much of a pasta eater. However, I have to admit that the Rasta Pasta is good. I would recommend it.

I decided to go with the brown stew fish with rice and peas and mac and cheese as my side. My friend ordered the turkey wings with white rice and sweet green peas. The lady taking our order did let us know that it would be a while for our order to be completed since the fish is cooked to order. There was a small seating area adjacent to the ordering area, so we sat there while waiting for our food to be done. It took a little longer than expected, but the food was definitely worth the wait. The fish was very flavorful and was packed with onions and peppers. The rice and peas paired well with the fish and sauce. The mac and cheese was just okay. My friend thought the turkey wings had a great flavor, but were slightly overcooked. I would come back again the next time I'm in town, but would definitely order ahead to cut down on the wait time.

    Top tier restaurant for Jamaican food. Truly authentic. Some of the specialty items are cooked to…read moreorder such as the stew shrimp, but if you're like me I don't mind waiting for fresh food. Island Breeze can be difficult to find if you're not familiar with the area. Located on Montgomery Street next door to BoBo's seafood and across the street from an auto body shop. The customer service is good but as a native New Yorker I expect a little attitude from all Carribean restaurants, that's how I know the food is going to be amazing. Haha. I don't get attitude from anyone here but I've called in orders before and the person has definitely been short with me. Again, not a negative because the food is bomb. The inside is small so not made for a crowd. I tend to order my food and then wait in my car or order ahead so the food is ready when I arrive. It gets very busy in there especially at lunch time and if you're like me and always want a patty, make sure to double check because they sell out quickly.

    Come here two Saturday's in a row because it was so good! Was a bit deceived with the name, lol…read more I'm Haitian and was hoping it was Haitian food, but this Caribbean/Southern spot hits the spot. The staff here is so sweet! They really help with making decisions and even offer samples if you're indecisive(like me). They wear masks when packaging food and have an outdoor seating area. Both times I got my food to go, and was in and out pretty quickly. The homemade tropical punch is so good! If ordering a "made to order" menu item, expect to wait about 15 minutes. The curry shrimp is one of those items and I was not disappointed. My friend also got curry goat and the pork chop and both were SO GOOD! As always, I do wish they have more meat, but this is something I'm used to from Caribbean restaurants. BUT- they have all things on the menu when I went in, something that doesn't always happen at the Caribbean joints I'm used to. This is the second Caribbean spot I've tried in the Savannah area, and this is tops!

The BBQ Jerk Ribs, the Brown Chicken Stew, Jerk Chicken, and Lamb Stew have all been excellent. Their collard greens are a reason to go back all their own.

This is definitely a takeout spot, with two table tops and a small waiting area and front counter. However, this small place packs a big punch! They have a pretty extensive menu, which includes of variety of both jerk and Curry options as well as oxtails. They also have patties and several desserts. I ended up ordering the combo curry goat and oxtail platter with rice and peas, plantains and then a beef Patty and a slice of Red Velvet cake. I thought the food was really well done, well, seasoned, and excellent in terms of quality and quality. The patties were equally authentic and had the adequate amount of meat filling you would want. The only criticism was the red velvet, which I didn't think was legitimate Red Velvet, but rather red cake mix with a cream cheese icing. That being said, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't authentic Red Velvet. Service was also prompt and helpful with no more than a 7 to 8 minute weight from start to finish. Overall, I would definitely rate this as one of the better restaurants I have had a chance to enjoy in Savannah so far. Looking forward to another visit!
