Island Takeaway - Brighton and Hove

The best vertebrate I've ever eaten, and I tried a lot. no frills authentic Jamaican experience with incredible eating!

Really good food and good portion sizes but items missing from the order. The ackee and saltfish is divine!

Absolutely disgusting. My chicken wrap had 5 bones in it! Made me throw up straight after. Stay away!

£5.50 for a patty. Nowhere in the world is a patty five pounds I like to support my own people. But this guy is obviously trying to take advantage being in this area Brighton

Went to island takeaway for my first time, there isn’t a lot of Caribbean shops in Brighton so I had high hopes. The store gave off authentic Jamaican vibes, however that was the only thing authentic about this shop. I originally tried to order a oxtail and was told they didn’t have any (no real surprise tbh). Then I asked what do you have and was told “you tell me what you want and I’ll let you know” which was just not helpful as they didn’t have what I wanted. The only ended up having 5/9 mains available. I got the large curry goat and rice peas for £15 which isn’t a horrendous price if the large was actually large but it wasn’t. When I tried to foot the rice was over cooked with the peas being cooked to the point they were dry and the rice was very hard. The curry goat was pink which definitely threw me off. Plus the meat was cleaned properly as there was a lot of gore and guts in the bones which completely ruined it. However, the flavour of the food was good but I would certainly of skipped out on this meal if I had the choice.
