Saturday special is goat soup with bones $12 or meat $18. My friend got fried beef meat with rice & beans and 2 flattened plantains that seemed fried. Everything tasted good and it was well cooked. The only complaint is that the passion friit listed under fruit juices was not a juice, it came on ice (after waitress specifically repeated my instructions not to put any) and it was made on thick and very sweet syrup. The flavor had hints of almond and maraschino cherry.

This hidden gem is worth the visit. Something distinct about a place that is true to its cultural ties. My husband and I are from South Florida, so we are picky about our Caribbean food, and moving to mass has dwindled our selection due to unavailability.

I eat here all the time. This place is less than a year old and it looks like people don’t know it’s here yet.

This was my first time eating Haitian food. I ordered the veggie melody and it was VERY good. I ordered fried plantains and bean sauce on the side cause duh and they were very good too! Some of the things are spicy, so ask before trying them (the onions in the picture were INCREDIBLY spicy). I’m removing 1 star cause they did take forever to bring the food (a whole hour) so if you’re coming, come with time and not too hungry. The place is very clean and the service is good.

Absolutely phenomenal Haitian food – some of the best in greater Boston metro. We went on a Saturday for an early dinner and had excellent service. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and welcoming and the food and drinks are top-notch. We had pwason fri with diri kole and it was so well flavored. My friend ordered the griot and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely worth a visit.

I’ve traveled to Jamaica and I’ve tasted the best jerk ever! This doesn’t even come close. Food was low grade mediocre at best. Chicken tasted left over with too much sauce and onions. Definitely not Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Black rice was stale and flavorless. Couldn’t eat the meal only but a couple of bites. Only thing that was fresh was plantains. The $22 conch salad (or whatever that was)was drenched in oil and had enough onions to make 20 people’s eyes water. Very disappointed. Maybe take out and dining in experience is different but my food was horrendous!! Go to Lynn or Boston to get authentic Jerk chicken flavor. And to the mgr:” I see all of your responses to other patrons reviews and you don’t take responsibility for your terrible food”. Get a better cook or go into a different line of business.

I stopped by Island Caribbean Cuisine and Drinks, on Sunday, for dinner. When I walked through the door, I was greeting by a smiling, energetic, Jerry, who was exceptionally professional, engaging, thoughtful, sweet, courteous, accommodating and kind. Jerry welcomed me and introduced me to the establishment and menu. Chantal was the quintessential manager. She came out and graciously addressed my specific questions and concerns, regarding food allergies. Their menu included, but was not limited to a variety of appetizing food, tropical drinks and daily specials. Chantal and Jerry were patient, thoughtful and empathetic to my needs and allergy concerns. They took the time to assist with tailoring meals that were both safe and satisfying for me and my family. I ordered fried pork with spicy onions and black rice, accompanied by house salad, fried plantains and macaroni gratiné/macaroni and cheese. Everything was mouth-watering, super fresh, tasty, plentiful and affordable. The food is undeniably good for the soul! The restaurant was tidy and organized, with exceptional service. The whole vibe of the staff, atmosphere and music was island, warm, inviting and family-friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant, so check it out when you can. You won’t be disappointed!
