Gabriel HayesJune 20, 2015A whole in the wall on Washington Ave. One of the best hidden gems in the Prospect Heights / Crown Heights area.
Benjamin HaasJuly 17, 2010Get fifteen of your friends together and take over the upstairs. BYOB, and lots of it, because you'll be waiting a while. But it's worth the wait.
Neely MooreOctober 27, 2011Call ahead to preorder even if you are dining in. Many dishes can only be made if you call ahead :)
Emma PelznerOctober 21, 2011Best for takeout. Amazing food, low prices, large portions. Jerk chicken and goat are good bets.
TraceSeptember 23, 2012Defintely order the escovitch fish. The pickled onions and carrots are deliciously spicy.
Joanna FlammJanuary 5, 2011Tiny restaurant, big flavor. My $10 jerk chicken with rice and peas was enough for at least two meals, nicely spicy and juicy tender.
Brad BensonJuly 23, 2011Best Caribbean food on the planet. Probably best restaurant in the area. Get the jerk chicken!
Beat the crowd with free delivery for orders over $10. Not on seamless.
Pascal AntoineApril 22, 2010If there is a wait (and there probably will be) make sure you ask them for a complimentary soup! The wait will be worth it though.
thecoffeebeanersOctober 26, 2011You have not been to Prospect Heights until you have tried The Islands' Jerk Chicken!
KaydeeJanuary 28, 2018Awful service. Staff is oblivious to your presence. Arrived at 8:45pm. By 10:15pm had still not received any entrees.Finished our bottle of wine waiting. Do not recommend. Many better places in NYC.
Dave SAugust 29, 2009The jerked chicken meal is perfect. I must go every time I'm at Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Garden or Prospect Park.

"House Cocktails are inventive, complex and flavorful. The craft masters behind the counter are incredibly knowledgable, and ordering off menu achieves phenomenal results. Let them take the reins."
