De Islands - Brooklyn

Like most other Caribbean restaurants, service comes with an attitude for no reason, but the staff seems fun, and they seem to get along with each other read more Like most other Caribbean restaurants, service comes with an attitude for no reason, but the staff seems fun, and they seem to get along with each other

This is now my go to spot

No the ideal place to go to if u are really hungry,you could be the only one there and still have to wait way too long to be served. read more No the ideal place to go to if u are really hungry,you could be the only one there and still have to wait way too long to be served.

Amongst all the Jamaican spots in this area I was seeking something new, maybe I?d even found a diamond in the rough? I was wrong. If as a Jamaican restaurant youcan?t nail down a good jerk chicken (every place is different and tastes will vary) then you need to go back to the drawingboard. I played it safe and grabbed the ?jerk chicken? sandwich and what I got was something very close to supermarketrotisserie chicken with a lil? kick. First I waited close to 15 minutes for a sandwich that was room temperature at best. Now Iknow that everything has its place but there was no need for there to be mayonnaise anywhere near that sandwich and growing upin an island household I never saw it incorporated into any of the staple meals so again I think they should pass on the mayoand focus on their seasonings. Sadly this was my first and last time eating here. Word to the wise. If you have a place thatyou frequent when you need to get your Jamaican food fix, go there or try someplace else.
