I’ve been a regular at Taste of the Islands for years, given its excellent Jamaican home-cooked cuisine and brings me back to Sunday dinners growing up.

Delicious. I Got curry goat – super tender, well spiced. You can add extra heat, but I like it just the way they made it. Co-workers got Jerk chicken, Ox tails, Mac and cheese.

First of all, the salmon platter bust down to the ground ! For anyone who is unaware of what that means, it means the food is absolutely delightful and delicious.

I understand times are hard but when I ordered A large oxtail and a curry chicken on Friday I wasn’t expecting 2 orders of bones and rice but that’s just what I got and I’ll never return. I’m willing to pay the price but I expect to get what I paid for . 5 pounds of rice and bones is what I got . Thank God there’s competition out here and that’s where I’m going to go. I’m done with this place . I supported this place for years but now they lost a good customer because they think people are stupid….. So if you want bones and rice to feed your dog this place is for you …. IM Done

I purchased curry chicken oxtail and goat. It was all just bones. Absolutely no meat. The chicken, they gave me the part that you cut off when cleaning leg quarters and put in trash. I won’t ever go back there. Now I see why I was the only dummy in line. This is the truth save your money and go to Pottstown. Its worth the drive. Best Jamaican food.

The service was good, like the new change in store, the food was tasty but little expensive for the amount $18.00 for small oxtails didn’t mine the price but would have liked to get more than 4 oxtails, covered by Rice n small amount of cabbage not sure about returning

I’ve had the jerk chicken from here. Went late night, they only had the brown stew chicken. I’m on my 2nd day of food poisoning. Not sure why. Maybe it was old but it’s not pleasant.

Came here on the recommendation of a friend from work. I’ve been trying to find a Caribbean restaurant to give a go. Usually I’ll go for oxtails or a goat dish since I don’t tend to take the time to cook it at home. I had the large oxtail with a side of cabbage and rice and peas. The oxtails were an ok sized portion, the actual pieces were a bit on the small side, but there were more of them. I’m curious to know how much a small portion is. Seasoning was good and the meat was super tender. I was able to take out the bones and then mixed it all together. Quick service and friendly staff.

This place is hit or miss. Got the curry goat and there was zero flavor. Sometimes it’s good sometimes horrible. For close to $20 for a large I shouldn’t have to roll the dice. Right?
