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

(Sorry Golden Krust but, this is 10000000x better) This weekend I couldn't help it because I was craving oxtail. This place is 100% legit so authentic and jammed packed with delicious flavors. They have daily specials and they sell out quick. I came too late and missed their breakfast item ackee & salt fish. Next time I'll try to wake up early !! Their oxtail was so tender, juicy, saucy, paired with rice and peas and cabbage. They made sure that we had gravy on our rice too!! Their jerk chicken was grilled outdoor and it was not even dry. I cannot believe how good it was, I was so happy. Their spicy sweet chili sauce was perfection while dipping the jerk chicken. Also, I loved their Mac and cheese. It was hot, cheesy, not dry, and flavorful. A big treat is all their yummy drinks in their fridge. I suggest the Ting soda with grapefruit!!! Everyone is friendly (workers + customers) The whole restaurant is so cool because locals come and I feel that everyone just vibe with each other. I can't wait to come back and try their beef ribs!!!!

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.

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.
