This is my first time actually ordering from the eatery. The Baklava is quite a dessert. After eating one Baklava, I have no craving to eat another sweet for the rest of the evening. As a matter of fact, I feel no inclination to eat a sweet anytime soon, after eating one Baklava. After eating the delicacy, I drink a cup of hot tea before a savory meal of home cooking. I don't know if this will always be the case though I have a visceral response to the Baklava. The dessert is quite fulfilling as a dessert. The establishment contains seating for about 20 people and offers a variety of drink and food options. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

Based on Yelp reviews, I decided to check out Sun Island Plate because I was craving an authentic,…read morefresh, hot Jamaican meal. I have to say, the food was flavorful and delicious--special shoutout to the chef! The only downside is the price. The plates are on the expensive side, so be prepared to spend a little more when you visit. I guess because there aren't many Jamaican restaurants in the area, the prices are higher. Even so, I think it's worth trying. I ordered the small oxtail meal and the sweet chili salmon meal, and both were satisfying and full of flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. I'll definitely be back. if I hit the lottery!

Ordered the lamb burger and it was cooked perfectly, medium, juicy with a great fresh flavor. Side salad portion was generous with fresh greens and grape tomatoes.

Fairly small space and could use some sprucing up, but nothing to complain about. Will be coming back.

We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven. We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

Run don't walk to this delicious Jamaican spot!!…read more I'm rarely in North Jersey nowadays after moving to Somerset County about 5 years ago. Jamaican food just doesn't hit the same in Central Jersey, so I had to try this spot. I asked for recommendations at the counter and she said the oxtail cheesesteak, oxtail patty sandwich, and the empanadas are really popular. I ordered the oxtail cheesesteak and 2 empanadas (jerk chicken and oxtail). OOOOOHHHHHH THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS!!! Such juicy, tender, and flavorful meat in the empanadas and cheese steak accompanied by their "grove sauce". It was so good that I had to buy a bottle of the sauce to take home! Everything was served piping hot and fresh. The staff was also super nice and the dining space was really clean. Highly recommend!!

Met up with some friends on a Friday night for Happy Hour. We got there at 5pm, knowing we only…read morehad to 6 pm to enjoy happy hour. We were seated in the back area as there was about 8 to 10 of us. The well drinks (tito, margarita, etc) were priced at $10 and appetizers priced at the same. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink, grilled oysters and steak crostini to eat. My grilled oysters were okay, except for one that has some "crunch"...lol to it. My steak was medium and cooked as ordered. But the show stopper was definitely the lemon drop martini, it was a good strong. So I ordered a second. The other girls really enjoyed their Caesar salad and mango margaritas. Our service was a bit slow, but good overall. Good happy hour spot, with a parking lot.

The resturant was smaller than I thought but very cozy with a room with a bar and a dining area…read more There is an upstairs area where the only bathrooms are also located but it was empty when we were there. Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO.

Let me start out by saying, we've been coming here for years and used to love their food. But after…read moreour last visit, we won't be back. As we entered the restaurant, the floors were "crunchy", sticky and tacky. I assume they mopped the dining room with the same mop they use to clean the greasy floors in the kitchen. They don't have high chairs, So we spent most of the time with our toddler in our lap. The sweet tea tasted off, sour almost. Had to give it back to the server because I couldn't stomach it. Had my husband taste it, and he immediately agreed that something was wrong with it. The plastic utensils were such a turn off. We're dining in, is it too much of a hassle to give your customers actual silverware?? Got fish and grits. Potatoes, toast and eggs. Honestly, the only flavorful item on my plate was the potatoes and eggs. Was upcharged to add cheese to my grits, but the cheese never melted. Pre shredded bagged cheese is what they have on hand it seems. My husband ordered shrimp and grits and asked for a side of eggs, but that arrived 15 minutes after we all received our food. Not sure why it took so long so cook up 2 eggs for him. He was also disappointed in his brunch. It was obvious they used frozen bagged shrimp. Probably the 26-30/lb because the shrimp were really small and had the nerve to be overcooked. Workers just seemed disheveled. Not sure what happened to Vondas but it fell off for sure. We're not from Newark and would travel here for years. Not anymore. This is the end of an era, definitely won't be back. Absolutely don't recommend.
