The best Caribbean food in Downtown. The food is delicious and incredibly flavorful. The staff is wonderful. They treat you like family. They're very polite and helpful. I would definitely come back again
Best jamaican food downtown. Just came from R&B Wednesdays at LaRosa and this restaurant was still open. I got the ox tails and jerk chicken with cabbage
Best vegan options; so delicious! Staff are amazing! We tried vegan oxtails, vegan jerk chicken wings and Rasta pasta!!
We got the vegan drums with jerk and they were sooo good! Cabbage and rice & peas were on point. Will definitely be back
The best Caribbean food I’ve tasted (and I’ve had some good Caribbean food lately)I got the 5 express Curry meal and Mac but they were out of MAC so the cashier gave me two patties instead... a welcomed replacement. Adding this to my list of suggestions for people visiting Orlando. I’d face that I-4 traffic to be able to eat here again.
I ordered the shrimp with rice and cabbage from Island Vibes Kitchen, and it was hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The shrimp were perfectly cooked juicy, seasoned just right, and covered in a flavorful buttery jerk sauce that had the perfect amount of heat. The rice and peas were soft and aromatic, soaking up the shrimp sauce beautifully without being too heavy. But the cabbage really surprised me — it was tender with a light crunch and seasoned just enough to complement the rest of the plate. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portion size was generous enough to share, though I didn’t want to. The service was friendly and laid-back, and the entire meal felt like it was made with care. If you’re in the mood for something full of flavor but a little lighter than jerk chicken, this shrimp plate is definitely worth it.
Finding this place was such a treat, it is such a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by the friendly staff. We tried several dishes from their menu, and I must say, everything was absolutely delicious! My personal favorites are the oxtail, the Jamaican Beef Patty, and the Mac and cheese. If you're a fan of oxtail or curious, you really must try it here - it's cooked to perfection! And don't get me started on their Jamaican Beef Patty - it's so flavorful and the patties are always made fresh, they're one of their most popular items. One thing to note, though - make sure you get here early because their patties are so good that they always run out fast! But even if you miss out on the patties, there are plenty of other amazing options to choose from. The Mac & cheese pairs really well with all of their entrees, but all of their sides are great. The staff and manager were so sweet and passionate about what they do, which added to the overall experience. I can't wait to come back and try even more dishes from their menu!
The flavors and tenderness of the oxtail stew is too good. Came with 2 sides. I got rice and beans and plantains all for 20. This plate tasted like it definitely came from a mother’s kitchen....made with love
