Jerk chicken, curry shrimp, calypso shrimp, stew chicken are all standouts. You really can't go wrong with anything here. The rice and peas that accompany most dishes is outstanding.
Beril EsenSetembro 6, 2015This beautiful place is not only awesome because it's byob, but due to the deliciousness of its spicy food. The calypso shrimp, jerk chicken, plantains, and roti skin were all amazing!
Peter CucèJunho 17, 2016Ridiculous huge portions of West Indian food in odd-shaped venue. Oxtail, jerk chicken, curried goat are faves so far. Really can't go wrong. I love the steamed cabbage and rice and peas. Possible MSG
Barry Gottehrer Real EstateJulho 15, 2016The food is so good here, I get take out from here all the time! Surprisingly the take out tastes just as good as when you get it there, thats not the case for most places! Jerk chicken is the best!
Andrew LimMaio 13, 2015Cozy byob spot with very friendly staff. Food was so delicious. Order the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Come with sides of rice and peas, cooked cabbage, and a salad. Can't wait to go back- LilyMaio 3, 2017Lucky Peach: "Portions are generous here: spicy, tender jerk chicken and curry goat come served on wide platters with plantains and coconut rice, most of them big enough to share."
AnneAgosto 16, 2013This place is as the reviews claim; genuine home cooking. Felt like I was back home. Great flavor, great portions, worth the trip. And as noted, it's truly a hole in the wall; limited seating.
Jana PetersenAbril 27, 2013Jerk chicken is a MUST. Portions are huge. Ambience is ... set to feel like you're in a really really small boat. And it's BYO. Wins all around. Hidden gem and will def be back.
Zac ZellersMaio 2, 2016tiny cash-only 4-seat spot (sometimes with service upstairs) serving fine curry and jerk dishes. it just *feels* good to be here with someone on a warm sunny afternoon.
Lori LuoFevereiro 22, 2015This tiny eatery has a pint-sized dining area, but the flavors and portions they put out are nothing to scoff out. Get the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Beans; a large will be enough for two meals.- Fodor's TravelSetembro 9, 2015Generous portions (a "small" plate is plenty) of chicken, shrimp, goat, and oxtail come with rice and salads, an authentic and delicious low-frills meal.

Damian BayonaJunho 22, 2015Call in and order take out. Not much space at the restaurant. Everything curried is good. Get extra cabbage on the side as that stuff is dooooope.
Helena WongJaneiro 2, 2014Still thinking about the jerk chicken and oxtail. Meat is oh so tender! Dining upstairs is def an experience. BYOB!
LaTanya B. 🌍💥👙👩👧🙏🏾🇺🇸🇧🇸🍫🌊🎾🎸✈️Agosto 28, 2015Quaint. Authentic. Delicious. Spicy. Savory. Curry shrimp. Jerk chicken. Mac & Cheese. Do it.
Raphael LangenscheidtJulho 22, 2015Jerk chicken, goat curry, Mac and cheese, plantains. Go there, right now. Order ahead, and sit on the steps of the Bk museum.
The Corcoran GroupMaio 1, 2011The sweet ladies that run this teeny tiny space are serving up some of the best Jerk Chicken and the Curry Goat around. Don’t rush here as you’re now on Island time.
Gabriel HayesAgosto 26, 2015Its a hard debate whether this or Glady's is better. They are the two best Caribbean places I have been to in Prospect Heights - Crown Heights, in Brooklyn & in New York City.
FAVORITE restaurant. The Islands man is super wonderful and generous, though he has a pretty thick accent. The food is delicious, too. :D Mmm stewed oxtails & calypso shrimp ...
Sha SugandaOutubro 29, 2013One of the tastiest Jerk Chicken I've ever had! Oxtail was also delicious.... Def going back!
Jess ButlerOutubro 4, 2015Enjoyed a spicy and delicious plate of jerk shrimp and got a lesson on hot peppers from the amazing chef.
Lisa SchreibmanJaneiro 26, 2018Ignore the menu and ask what is ready. There is always a chicken and a veg dish ready.
Charles FordeAbril 17, 2014Best Jamaican food in Brooklyn. Try the fried dumplings. Better than my mother's. Don't tell her I said that.
Tristan LewisMaio 17, 2016Incredible experience. I'm Jamaica and I can attest that this spot is truly authentic. I'd definitely visit again!
Bob RutledgeMaio 24, 2015Head to the kitty-corner bodega and grab a couple of Red Stripe beer before settling in at the upstairs dining room for Amazing jerk chicken.
Serious EatsMarço 19, 2013Service is slow but worth the wait for enormous servings of some of the city's best Caribean food.
Cicely OaksAgosto 18, 2013Oxtails were delicious. Ideal seating area is outside its a little cramped upstairs.
- Gabriel HayesJunho 20, 2015Great Caribbean food near the Brooklyn museum. Limited seating but great for takeout.
WEI WEIAbril 4, 2016The best jerk shrimp I've had. Very small shop with a couple of tables upstairs.
Lisa RayleSetembro 7, 2015The brown stew chicken with rice and peas was delicious, very satisfying. The jerk was too spicy for my taste.

Faves: Stamp And Go, Soups, Garlic Shrimp Salad, Calypso Shrimp, Jerk Lamb, Steamed Snapper, Pineapple Cheesecake- Gabriel HayesJunho 20, 2015Ranked by many as the best Caribbean food in Brooklyn. I have no reason to disagree. So amazing.
Lynn HuAgosto 14, 2013Certain items are sold out on some days so ask before you try to make decision. Also, small plate is actually huge!
Amira BlissAgosto 24, 2012The most amazing jerk chicken ever. Take out orders are prioritized over dine-in orders. I think you know what to do.
Maya BruckMarço 30, 2015Everyone's right -- the jerk chicken is amazing. Get it. A large was more than my husband and I could finish.
Noah XifrAgosto 25, 2012Its all luvly homestyle cookin here, jerk chkn roti w gr8 spice. Finally tried the mac & cheese well baked. Must. Have. More. Mac&cheeesy.
Sam GilDezembro 11, 2016Oxtail is perfect but price increased. Everything is great...bring a bottle of wine.
Monica LeslieNovembro 24, 2015Cool atmosphere and nice service, it's slow, but it's BYOB so just drink a lot
Mallory NapolitanoSetembro 19, 2016Slow service but great food and HUGE portions. BYOB and cash only, super cute but tiny place
BrooklynMuseumDezembro 11, 2009Staff Pick! Danny (Exhibitions): A hole-in-the-wall kitchen covering your Caribbean needs. I like to get the spicy jerk chicken and head over to the nearby park to enjoy.

"You will find the best sauces here: tamarind, garlic, and hot, to name a few. Crispy chicken strips were perfect with sweet potato fries. Served with a pineapple & coleslaw, Island burger is creative."
