Reviews for Tropical Island Cafe in Marietta, GA
Food quality is exceptional both for vegetarian as well as vegetarian cuisines. In fact, their Chicken Shawarma sandwich is too... good. I will love to have it again... Delicious and yummy preparations. The complementary Pita bread along with dips is alsoflavorful. Read more
I?d give this spot a 3.5. Ordered a jerk shrimp wrap & the shrimp still had the tails on, so I couldn?t really fully enjoy it.... And the rice tasted like instant rice, but the dipping sauce was good. Read more
I have 2-words (to start off with): OVER-RATED! I pass by this place every now and then. Being that I love Caribbean food, I... was always curious if it was any good. Well, finally, I decided to pull it up and look at the reviews. I was sold! I walk in andwas warmly greeted...so that's nice. However, the first red-flag was when the young lady pulled out a tray and started scoopingrice that was sitting in metal trays... I immediately thought "microwaved" but didn't want to count them out just yet. Afterall, their reviews were great, right? Well... The rice was undercooked and lacked flavor. The cabbage lacked flavor. I had about6 peas in my "rice and peas" and the chicken was equally bland. Moreover, the take-out container that was used did not have anyseparations so cabbage juice is flowing everywhere. Now, some people may like all of their different foods getting soaked andre-flavored, but I don't. I'm not sure who's writing these stellar reviews but it cannot be avid Caribbean food lovers. Or maybeI went on a bad day? I don't know, but I do know that I was highly disappointed. Needless to say, the food is still sitting inmy fridge, likely abandoned. BUT, on a more positive note, the plantains and beef patty were good. So there's that... I doubtI'd ever visit again but for others who would like to try, maybe go with something other than the curry chicken. Just mytidbit... Read more
Great food and super friendly staff. We ordered the brown stew chicken, jerk chicken, and a beef patty. Everything was... delicious, the kind of food that touches your soul and makes you feel loved. And the plantains were cooked to perfection (you'dbe surprised how many restaurants don't get plantains right). The entrees each had enough food to eat 3 whole meals and werevery reasonably priced. Great place to get a lot of real, tasty food on the cheap. Will definitely be returning to try the restof the menu Read more

If you love Caribbean food, here's your spot near Historic Marietta! I stopped in at lunchtime for a to-go order, and they... piled in so much food in the container that I ate on it for 3 meals! Delicious as well. I had the curry chicken which wasgood, and their fried plantains were delicious (not dried out). I plan to frequent this establishment. They were veryfriendly, as well. I hope that they are able to make it a success in these unusual times in 2020. Thanks for opening a greatplace to eat!!! (The pic doesn't do the taste justice) Read more
This place is new so we wanted to patronize them. The staff was very friendly. I enjoyed the stewed brown chicken and rice &... peas. The greens and cabbage need more seasoning! I didn?t get try the beef patties yet as they were sold out. Read more
Flavorful and delicious food that is reasonably priced. Had the chicken kabob and the gheimeh sabzi Thursdays special and both... were excellent. Thanks Tropical Island Cafe! Read more
