Reviews for Island Sensation Cuisine in Phoenix, AZ
One of my favorite Caribbean restaurants in Phoenix. The food is amazing and the service is great. They also have a live band... and open Mic every Thursday. Awesome vibe and great ambiance. Read more
I'm Glad the place I heard about in Avondale doesn't exist, and that the closest place was rated 5 star. Island Sensation... Cuisine is pricey, and they warn you with a placard at the counter that it's not "Fast food". Which translated to Arizonavocabulary means, relax for about 15 minutes... It'll be worth the wait. The oxtail dinner Experience (to go, this time) wasSuperlative. Capital. The seasonings in all elements is perfect. The Rice and peas is your Mama's, if she's from any tropicalisland where this is a staple, but each variation is distinct and delightful. This is that island in every bite. Bomb. Theoxtails were perfectly composed, the meat succulent and bursting with delicious flavors in every bite. Every other bite wasecstasy, balancing the crisp, steamed cabbage or the excellent plantain slices with the rice. I passed out, and revivedrepeatedly. Have I said enough? Thank You, Folks. I'll be back. With my RV. Living in your parking lot until I sampleeverything. Great Job!!!?????????????????????? Read more
My coworker introduced me to the restaurant. They didn?t have the item I wanted so I ordered the oxtail. I loved it. The oxtail... was so tender and flavorful. The red bean and rice was tasty. Read more
Went for the first time on Friday everything was delicious!! Oxtails we're not ready so I have to go back.
I had made reservations here for my husband and I 11 year anniversary. Our anniversary fell on a Thursday and I thought it would... be perfect since I saw that they have an open mic/poetry night on Thursday?s. I had email after hours the night before to get areservation and was surprised that they responded! When we got there for dinner, they had a nice table set up for us and abottle of champagne on ice waiting for us! (I was not expecting that at all!) The people there were so nice! The atmosphere wasgreat! We even got a little shout out and a song sang for us as well (you can?t go wrong with some Al Green!). To top it off,the food was beyond amazing!!! My husband had the jerk chicken and it was full of flavor and tender. I had the oxtails and therearen?t even words to describe how good they were! We will definitely be going back (I just have to try the rest of the menulol). Between the great staff, live music, great atmosphere and AMAZING food, this place is definitely a place to try out!!!

Best Jamaican food in East Phoenix! Everything is made to order and it was all delicious. Very authentic Jamaican spot with... fantastic service. So real there was a real Patois sitting outside smoking. Get to this place for the real deal! Read more
