Not even the pandemic could shut them down. They treat customers with respect and the quality of food matches their excellent service. You will never be disappointed! I'm Bk we take our food very seriously
I have been going here since they opened and the chef has excellent quality control. The food always taste the same, the only reason I have 4 stars is because sometimes the register employees can be a bit rude. And also the price went up super high. But besides that it's a great place to eat and the curry goat is the best!
Shrimp wrap was amazing but in my opinion too small for the price. I wasn't impressed by the fried whiting sandwich... hardly no meat and fried a bit TOO HARD. I'd think about coming back for the shrimp wrap. I believe I got something else but the shrimp wrap was the star of that show.
Stopped in and had lunch. It was a busy little place. Ordered our food to eat in. It came out in a good amount of time. 2 of us had curry and I had chicken. The other 2 said the curry was good, my jerk chicken was very good and plenty of it. Check the place out.
I was always a big fan of this establishment. The food is always on point. Today, my son got me some jerk chicken and rice and beans, and I am not a fan of anything spicy But this here swayed me, and im gonna enjoy it all.
De islands always hit the spot. When you want good steamed rice and jerk chicken with a taste that will make you want to eat and lick your fingers this is the spot to go to. The jerk sauce is to die for its not just for the chicken you have to put it all over. The curry chicken has a flavor that's so tasteful. BROOKLYN this is the spot. I also ordered my catering orders from here and my guest would always give me compliments on how good the food is and I give all the credit to De Islands.
I'm officially obsessed with the escovitz fish here. It's soooo good. The shrimp wrap was tasty and my picky parents had no complaints surprisingly. They also enjoyed their fish sandwich. I ordered a side of pasta and it wasn't good. I'm normally into creamy things but this lacked flavor. Ended up throwing it away after 2 bites. The steam veggies consist of just cabbage and some carrots and peas. I was disappointed by that. The jerk chicken is moist and when you add the jerk sauce it takes it up a notch. I just wish it was spicier. I might be willing to try the jerk fish but for now I'll continue to order the escovitz. Btw the wait time can be insane.
