Review by Nestor P.

Island Spice Restaurant truly captures the essence of Jamaican cuisine! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a quick bite after a busy day. I had the jerk chicken and it was flavorful with the right amount of spice. Their oxtails were tender and packed with rich flavors!

However, the opening times can be a bit frustrating, as the website states 6:30 AM, but I found them opening closer to 7:30 AM on my visit.

Despite that, the friendly service and tasty food make it worth the wait! 🌴
