Island Grill Harlem Modern Caribbean Kitchen

I ordered my food through Uber Eats from island grill. I ordered fried chicken Mac n cheese with steamed veggies and the other order was a curry chicken meal. For drinks I ordered a sorrel tropical riddim and a pineapple ginger tropical riddim WHAT I RECEIVED: a mango tropical riddim and reggae medley tropical ridden - THESE OPTIONS ARENT ON THEIR MENUS BTW. For the food I got fried chicken with small piece of Mac n cheese …on top of rice n peas and gravy, the second order was curry goat meal… I GOT NOTHING OF WHAT I ORDERED aside from the the fried chicken. Now, let talk about the taste of the food. The fried chicken wasn’t evenly seasoned- some parts tasted too seasoned, the oxtail gravy tasted similar to brown stew gravy but super salty. The small piece of Mac n cheese had the same seas

Never again. From the dried out vegetables to the rice and peas tasting like cardboard, and ending in the flavorless oxtails. Two meals came to 38. My son got the turkey wings and he refused to finish his too. Keep in mind he LOVES Jamaican food and is an 11 year old vacuum cleaner when it comes to food. The oxtails were dehydrated which I thought might concentrate the flavor but no. I had a feeling when I went in, but who messes up oxtails? This restaurant does.

I ordered through door dash, two separate orders. Both oxtails Mac and cheese with plantains and one with an extra order of rice and peas. I only received oxtails and baked Mac for both orders and it took about 2 hours to get to me since placing order. The food was tasty but mostly fat on the oxtails and the Mac and cheese could have been more cheesy. The portion size is okay for the price as well but I will not order again, not worth it to me. You lose customers when you’re not paying attention to the service you’re providing. SLOW DOWN and make sure ALL orders are correctly sent out, not just the ones directly in front of you.

Got the lunch special with curry goat, rice, beans, and cabbage and the taste was absolutely phenomenal! It's a super affordable local food spot—most of the lunch special options are $7 (I believe the curry goat is the only one that is $9) and you receive a generous portion of meat for the price. The goat was extremely tender, and they poured a spoon of curry over the entire plate so it seeped into the rice, beans, and cabbage. Every bite was chock full of rich umami flavor without being too heavy. The customer service was wonderful as well! I'm not sure what the employee's name was, but I came on a Monday afternoon and he was super kind, helpful, and efficient with preparing the order. Island Grill is more of a take-out spot, so I took my food and enjoyed it at Morningside Park. I'll defi

The curry goat and salmon were tasty. Def got good portions on the rice and peas, curry, and cabbage. The staff was nice and the decor was pretty. It’s a small place without seating but I didn’t mind that at all since I was on the go. Might not be a place that I crave all the time, but it’s a solid spot that I’d go back to.
