What Danielle M likes about Island Express:
I have been looking for Patties and I found my place! This place is THE PLACE for Patties in my eyes. I went for the first time this week and I've been spreading the word after my first visit. I had to go twice this week lol I almost went again last night but wanted to save some coins. But best believe I will stop by next week. Definitely a staple for me. I did also have a chance to try their curry beef plate. I wasn... View all feedback. What Nakeita M doesn't like about Island Express:
This restaurant can be hit or miss. The food is delicious, but the quality can vary. One day the rice was excellent, the next day it was mushy and lacked flavor. The curry chicken was amazing one day, but bland the next. The bread is always delicious, and the sorrel is consistently good. Love the food, but wish it was more consistent. View all feedback.

The best beef patty we’ve ever had outside of Jamaica. The seasoning was on point and the crust was fluffy and perfect! Can’t wait to go back next time we’re in...

The staff is very respectful and always smiling. Me and my mom enjoy coming here.

Island Express, a Caribbean gem in Flatbush, offers a delightful mix of flavors that can vary with each visit. Diners praise the consistently delicious bread and sorrel, while rave reviews highlight dishes like oxtail and curry chicken, though some inconsistency in preparation is noted. The incredibly flaky beef patties are a standout, drawing loyal fans from afar. With friendly staff who enthusiastically educate guests about the menu, and unbeatable prices for hearty portions, it’s a go-to spot for a satisfying meal or a quick snack before a show at Kings Theatre. Overall, Island Express creates a warm and inviting dining experience.

The Fried Fish and Pouri Wrap, paired with a Cheese Roll and Pineapple for dessert, were absolutely delicious and met all my expectations.
