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 Arizona vocabulary means, relax for about 15 minutes...It'll be worth the wait.The oxtail dinner Experience (to go, this time) was Superlative.Capital. The seasonings in all elements is perfect.The Rice and peas is your Mama's, if she's from any tropical island where this is a staple, but each variation is distinct and delightful.This is that island in every bite.Bomb.The oxtails were perfectly composed, the meat succulent and bursting with delicious flavors in every bite.Every other bite was ecstasy, balancing the crisp, steamed cabbage or the excellent plantain slices with the rice.I passed out, and revived repeatedly.Have I said enough? Thank You, Folks.I'll be back.With my RV.Living in your parking lot until I sample everything.Great Job!!!🖤💓🫶🏾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pure niceness!! Nice food, nice music, nice people, nice environment. I urgently needed to eat some Jamaican food.On this emergency visit I savoured a profoundly tasty goat curry, callaloo, plantain, and dumpling, served in most sensibly-sized portions.Quenched my thirst with a splendidly spicy ginger beer. Serious Phoenix/London challenge!

Thanks glad to be of service
Food is delicious! Fresh, tasty and flavorful! The place is quaint and cozy; appears to be a family owned business.Deducted a star for employees failure to wear a mask while conducting business with the public.Not a good look especially in Arizona were we are leading globally in new infections.Pictured is the large curry chicken with a side of plantains and a beef patty :-)
