Reviews for Taste of the Islands Restaurant in St. Petersburg, FL

Nice restaurant tucked away within a local community grocery store. Food was tasty & well priced. I enjoyed an oxtail lunch... plate, and my coworker dined on brownstew chicken. We were both highly satisfied with our choices, as we sat at once of theinterior tables. Read more

Don't be in a hurry at this place.. remember you're on island time... And of course they're super busy because they're really... good! If you can overlook that, you will be in for a delicious surprise. The wings were absolutely amazing they had just theright amount of jerk Caribbean flavors... Can't wait to go back and try the snapper and other dishes. Read more

If you are looking for authentic, delicious Caribbean food?specifically Jamaican, this is the spot! It?s really just set up for... ?to go? although there is minimal seating outside. Dishes come with rice n peas, dumplin and plantain. We got Jerk Chicken andCurried Chicken, both were excellent. They are building a Caribbean grocery store right next door. The staff is kind and theclientele is diverse. Read more

I haven't came here in years. I ordered brown stew chicken with boiled banana n white yam,dumpling a side of cabbage,1... festival, 1 conch fritter and three drinks(sorrel,carrot,Irish moss) the gentleman charged me $42.02. I walk out no cabbage. Igo back and he states he never charged so I paid $3.62. I get home. I have no yam. The festival hard as a rock,fritter greasy ashell like it was just sitting there. My carrot drink sour as it was bo good. Very unhappy. The customer service was awesome. Read more

On the way back from the airport I thought I could treat my sister and her family to some Jamaican food so we asked professor... google and was directed here. The food (festival and fish fritter) was greasy, we ended up throwing out the fried dumplingsbecause they tasted as if they had turned (were spoiled). In addition to being dripping with grease the festival had way toomuch sugar in it, so sweet it was more as if it was a pastry, Read more

After reading mixed reviews I decided to give this place a try. Not good at all I ordered the jerk chicken and curry goat combo... somehow curry sauce was covered over both entrees and also jerk pork which was very bland to say the least. As always I ordered2 spicy beef patties just in case the meal is not good and they tasted as if they had been in the warmer a bit too long very dryand hard as well. If I'm in the area again I'd like to try it again as I did stop in around 8 so maybe I didn't get the freshestfood Read more

So good!!!!! The curry chicken weekly special was awesome and fair price. The ladies at the front were amazing. Great customer... service. Hot fresh food. Place was dirty but whatever , the food slapped! Read more

Stopped in for lunch as I was heading to treasure island. Nice little Jamaican joint for food and groceries. I ordered the small... curry chicken and a beef patty. The dude came out later and said they ran out of curry chicken, so that was a bummer. I wentwith the curry goat and he gave it to me for the same price, which was great. Friendly guy too. Came with a dough ball and aplantain. In my opinion, the goat was cooked perfectly, but the cook used a little too much curry powder. The sauce was a tadgrainy. Other than that the whole platter was awesome. I also got a drink next door of homemade sorrel, which was both healthyand delicious. I sat outside on a Sunday and noticed many Jamaicans stopping in to pick up some lunch. So if they coming here,you know it's good. Ill be coming back again when I'm in the area. Read more
