Island Breeze

This place is small, and very brightly colored. It seems to be a family operation, which I love, these kinds of places are the best!I ordered the Curry goat - i love goat but its not easy to find, especially in Louisville. The curry goat comes with rice and peas, plus two sides (I picked mac and cheese and greens)The dish is huge and very delicious. If you have never had goat there are bones you must deal with, but trust and believe it is worth it. The mac and cheese was fine, the greens a little too sour for my taste, but maybe that is your thing and you might like that! Anyway the man running the show was very personable and kind, and he really wanted to make sure you were enjoying yourself. Oh one weird thing, you order and eat but pay at the end. Its set up like a place where you would order and pay at the same time so just keep that in mind! A couple actually left and came back because they forgot they hadnt paid!

Delicious! The food was such a great value and so tender! The jerk chicken was super spicy, but so much flavor. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to try more from here!

Authentic as it gets. Jerk chicken is delicious and the sides are great. The oxtails are tender and the hand pies are a must

Don't believe the hype! Whoever write these reviews must be friends and family. This was the absolute worstCaribbean food I've ever tasted. The cabbage was bland and had no flavor. The beans and rice was bland with no flavor. And the oxtails were the smallest oxtails I've ever had and the taste was mediocre at best. Don't let the pictures fools you. It's just a bunch of sauce. The people saying this food is authentic are not being truthful. I've eaten at many Caribbean restaurants and my current girlfriend is from Barbados and I was in a relationship with an African girl for 5 years and there is nothing authentic about the taste of this food. Not to mention my girlfriend's cousin ordered extra oxtails and was given a few oxtails so tiny they fit in a cup small enough for just sauce and was charged $10!! Then the music they were playing was some 1960 Loui Armstrong R&B. I have never been in a Caribbean restaurant that didn't at least try to play some authentic music. The food was so bad we literally took a few bites of it and threw it away then went back out to get something else to eat. Don't waste your time or your money!

The food here is authentic, delicious, and made fresh. The staff are lovely and you can tell they care about the quality of the food. Would definitely recommend it to anyone if they like Jamaican food or want to try it for the first time!

I got the goat curry and my wife had the oxtails. The goat curry was fantastic. The meat was tender and the flavor was balanced and delicious. The curry dinner comes with rice&peas and two sides. The rice&peas were phenomenal, and the greens + mac&cheese sides were great. I didn't get to try the oxtails, but they looked amazing and my wife said they were great. She raved about the rice and peas, so it's unanimous. The couple running this restaurant used to live in Jamaica and the husband has experience cooking at a restaurant back in Jamaica. It shows. The quality, quantity, and value for the price is great. I hope the word catches on and they are super successful, because this place is way too good to not succeed.

I've only had the curry chicken dinner, I think I went like 2 times in the same week they had opened and it was sooo good! I wish I lived closer I'd be there everyday. The owner and cook were awesome, she had recognized me when I came in for the second time

This place is easy to overlook but definitely a hidden gem. Not a big place but ambiance is relaxed and the music is nice. The service was fast and easy and you pay when your food is ready. I was there less than 10 minutes total. I got the jerk chicken dinner with cabbage and mac and cheese, i wasn't disappointed. The portions were generous and the food was great. I will be back!

The absolute worst nastiest place I've ever been to the cook had dry mucus in his nose had just came from outside smoke when we pulled in and scratched his butt crack and never washed his hands and we really watched in fear as a little kid ran out the back I guess their child but he was very rude cursing at them, and I watched as they microwaved food that was old and dry probably cooked hours ago and we left only ordering sodas. I could not believe they had a little curtain open and were seen every plate get put in the microwave and the man was using no gloves to dip rice and beans out of a bucket from the floor with a trash bag in it ughh and another customer gave their food back and said their macaroni was pure burnt and we could actually smell something burning as we came in and then they caught an attitude with the customer when they left saying they were too hard to please but you a from Jamaica do better for the culture I would do no star but I can't thx guys never coming back dirty stinking place

Great food!!! My dad and I were just there, and the food is amazing and the owners are very friendly. My dad had the jerk chicken and greens as a side. He said he really loved the flavor of the jerk juice / pot liquor and the meat was tender and great. He also said he loved that the greens were fresh and not cooked to mush... so many places over-cook greens until they are mushy, but these still had their structural integrity, so to speak.I had the curry goat dinner and it was great too. It had some bones and cartilage, as goat always does, but the meat fell right off the bone and the curry sauce was delicious. The fried plantains were some of the best I've had... crispy and flavorful. Can't wait to go back and try more stuff, especially the sweet potato pudding cake!
