A Taste of Island Spice 1287 Teaneck Rd…read more Teaneck, NJ 07666 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special Spinach Patty This locally owned Caribbean restaurant is located along the Teaneck Road strip. After passing it numerous times, I decided to explore one of their lunch options. Spinach Patty: Initially, I was reluctant to try a vegetarian patty. As soon as I took my first bite, I immediately took a liking to this appetizer. The spinach filling was warm and tasty. And the outer crust had a slight crunch. Jerk Chicken Lunch: The chicken was tender and juicy with a mild kick. The outer skin was seasoned perfectly. Also included were two miniature cups of jerk sauce (not pictured). The reddish colored dip was great for dipping the chicken, rice & peas and even the spinach patty. I was grateful the sauce was not poured over the meal; then it would have dried up. The indoor dining area is limited to high top counters and a few outdoor dining tables. Island Spice does not have their own parking lot, but plenty of parking is available on local side streets. There is also a free municipal parking lot a few blocks away. This location may be a hole in the wall, but the Caribbean food is outstanding and you will definitely get an authentic "taste" of Jamaica. #caribbeanfood #atasteofislandspice #jerkchicken #spinachpatty #jamaicanpatty #teanecknj

Washington Ave. Bergenfield, NJ 07621 Spicy Beef Patty Mini Jerk Chicken Combo Located in the Foster Village strip mall is a locally owned Jamaican take out restaurant. Spicy Beef Patty: The crust was hot and flaky on the outside. There was a decent amount of beef filling on the inside. The spice wasn't overpowering, so save that glass of water. It was a great appetizer and was really. Mini Jerk Chicken Combo: For its name, the serving size was fair. This included jerk chicken, rice & peas, and cabbage. I requested the jerk sauce on the side, but the provided cup was too small; next time, I will ask for a second cup. I received my ordered in a timely manner and the meal was pretty decent. #jamaicanbeefpatty #spicybeefpattt #jerkchicken #jamaicadelight #fostervillage #bergenfieldnj #jerkchickencombo

As a vegan this cuisine has exactly what I need from a nutritional standpoint when it comes to getting the most out of your dollar.

I order white rice, pinto beans, spinach (they don't have it all the time) plantain and a handshake from one of the most genuine and respectful business owners I've ever come across. He runs this place with terrific customer service with his wife in the back cooking up the goodness. Together they make a dynamic duo. Since moving here this has been my go to. But be sure to check their hours they open at 1130am usually and close pretty early. So get in when you can.

This locally owned Caribbean spot hosts a cost effective $7 lunch special on weekdays from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Customers have the option to choose a selected chicken lunch with rice and peas.

I was so excited to try this spot because I'd been craving oxtails all week, but unfortunately it…read morewas a letdown. The oxtails tasted burnt--like they had been slow-cooking all day and what we got were the overcooked, charred pieces that should've been tossed, not served. Really disappointing for a dish that should be rich and flavorful. The staff didn't help the experience either. I get the saying, "you know it's a real Caribbean spot when the staff is a little spicy," but this wasn't that--it wasn't playful or sassy, it just came off as rude and mean. It made the whole visit feel unwelcoming. Honestly, I wanted to love this place, but between the burnt food and the bad service, it just didn't hit.
