The Best Caribbean Food In Crown Heights & Bed-Stuy - New York - The Infatuation

"Another Brooklyn institution that expanded to a larger space with outdoor seating, The Islands is always there for you when you want a plate of traditional food that tastes fresh from the Yard. The Islands serves up Jamaican classics ranging from oxtail to escovitch fish, jerk and curry chicken. When we hosted food influencer collective @ladieswhomeat, they couldn’t get enough of the fall-off-the bone oxtail with rice and peas, stewed cabbage, sweet plantains and quickly discovered why roti is best when ordered from a Trinidadian or Guyanese establishment. Next on my must-try list is the jerk lamb, jerk shrimp, and mac and cheese." - Shelley Worrell 31
