From Google Maps reviews.
The aroma of jerk chicken and the rhythmic beat of reggae music filled the air as you stepped into "Island Vibes," the best Jamaican restaurant in Brooklyn. Owned and operated by the warm and welcoming couple, Ricky and Juliette, this small yet vibrant eatery was a true gem. Ricky, a master chef with a passion for authentic Jamaican cuisine, meticulously crafted each dish with love and care. From the succulent oxtails simmered to perfection to the flavorful escoveitch fish, every bite was an ex
$52 on two medium oxtail, one had a side of sweet plantains (4 for $1) the other Rasta pasta ($2) and a side of Mac and cheese ($5). No flavor or the Rasta pasta and Mac and cheese. I was disappointed. The rice was good oxtail was ok, in a thin watery sauce which is fine, the meat was soft and fell off the bone but didn’t find much flavor
First time here, the food was decent but I wish they gave less rice and more cabbage because it was delicious and cooked well. Rice was plan and very bland nothing special about it it was missing salt! Fried chicken was very good.
