Reviews for Island Express in Brooklyn, NY
I would marry their chicken patty with cocoa bread if it asked me. The best west indian food and bread in the area, hands down.... If you don't believe me try it out for yourself. Read more
Awesome! Delivered me a dozen and a half rotis pretty last minute for a friend. They were ready quickly and came out so lovely.... I?ve been coming here since it was Sybil?s and I?m so glad the quality stayed great! ????????thanks again! Read more
Fantastic food. Honestly, I can?t stop thinking about it. Got the chicken stew on roti and the jerk chicken with rice. Both were... delicious and flavorful and obviously made with a lot of love. The texture of the roti is beyond. The women who work here arefriendly and funny. Support this spot! It?s fire. ???? Read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant out given its many positive reviews. Unfortunately my experience was not a positive one... and I will breakdown the rationale below: Jerk chicken lunch special - This meal came in a small white container, one thatusually holds dumplings to give you a perspective. Nonetheless, if the food was good, I would not have mind the small portion.The jerk chicken was by far the DRIEST jerk chicken I ever had. Not only were all the chicken white meat, which is fine, but itwas extremely overcooked and rubbery. The best part of this lunch special was the plantains, which was cooked perfectly, softand sweet. But unfortunately, the jerk chicken was not delicious at all...=/ Chicken stew with spinach and roti - You wouldthink that a chicken stew would be moist, juicy, or at least tender. However, despite the sauce from the stew, the chicken wasstill incredibly dry. I was really looking forward to this dish for it sounded so delicious and heartwarming. Unfortunately,that was not my experience at all. Really wanted this first time experience to be amazing... Overall, the best part wasprobably the delivery person, who was nice and kind. If you do decide to give them a try, please try their other options becauseI'm sure they have some other more delicious selections! Just try to stay away from these two. Thank you for reading and goodluck! Read more
Everything we ordered was delicious! We had the oxtail, fried fish, plantains, chicken roti, and beef patty. I could eat... multiple beef patties -- the crust is so flaky. Plus, they had our order ready much faster than estimated through Seamless.Can't wait to try other items on their menu. Read more
