Island Boy Cafe

Stumbled by this place cause it was nearby and glad I got to check the place out. 1. Curry chicken - 52. Jerk bbq chicken - 4.53. Tobago Roast Chicken - 4.51. The curry was well cooked and full of flavor. The curry tasted like a mixture of Indian and Japanese curry. 2. The bbq sauce had a mixture of sweet and spicy. 3. I enjoyed the flavors of the dry rub. Support local businesses and the service was great. I'm coming back for their breakfast and dinner stews!

I had read an article about this food. Looked a reviews got excited. Made a reservation on Open Table got a confirmation. Pulled up with my family! It was dark and closed. Unprofessional and very sad. I really wanted to support his establishment. I called and the voice mail was full. No updates about business hours on the front door! Nothing!What a waste of time. Back to A Beautiful Life Jamaican Cafe in DTLA. They are open from breakfast brunch and dinner every day and especially on Sunday. Or Poppy and Rose one of the best roof top brunches around. Both black owned! They open when they say they will.

A friend organized a dinner here on a Thursday evening and it was great. The owners have warm hospitality and great cuisine. Our group ordered a variety of items - oxtail, bbq shrimp, curry shrimp and a few others. For appetizers we had salmon jerk pizza which was quickly devoured by everyone. We ate the salmon Pizza too fast to capture a picture it was that good. They have a bar and I enjoyed the refreshing homemade ginger beer - nice island kick not too spicy not too sweet just the right flavoring. Glad to support this business and look forward to returning to try other menu items.

My family & I ate there this Easter. Wonderful Owner & Chef. Wonderful Environment . Food served hot & Drinks were very good.Highly recommended Thank you Barbara Smith

Lived by here for a while and never noticed this place. I stopped by on my way home and ordered the Salmon Salad. The owner Jeff had me sit down inside while he finished cooking my meal in the kitchen. Very homey feel. No exaggeration it was the best salmon salad I've had. Super simple and delicious, salmon was cooked perfectly on outside and soft on inside. I brought my family back for Sunday Brunch. A few courses of amazing food. I rarely eat meat but the meat was incredible. All of us were very satisfied. Try the Angostura Chill drink, very good. Couldn't reccomend more...

Friends were meeting here, and I must say it does have a nice large dance floor. However, street parking is difficult. And drinks are extremely expensive... $16-21 for a simple gin and tonic or glass of wine. And the drinks aren't even strong! Staff is pleasant enough, but I won't be back.

Love this place, I don't know how many times I pass Island boy Café. But I finally had an opportunity to check it out. The owner gives you a big Caribbean greeting and the food is delicious. I ordered the shrimp and pasta. Talking about fresh. The pasta is homemade as well as the green sauce. it was quite succulent and full of flavor. The atmosphere takes you out of LA and place you in the Caribbean. It's clean with a small bar and stage for entertainment. Looking forward to trying other dishes and checking out the entertainment. I think it's a place you would enjoy... Check it out.

Decided to stop by for brunch here once again. I ordered the shrimp pasta because everything is made from scratch so it sounded delicious. However they didn't have enough shrimp to make two so I ended up ordering salmon . The food and service are great there always checking on you to make sure you don't need anything. I asked the owner if I could take some pics for my Instagram and they were kind enough to give me a sneak peak behind the scenes. As it turns out there's a second floor on top of the restaurant and there building a spa that will be opening soon. Along with that they have opened up several rooms that are rented by the night. They also have a sauna ,hot tub and a spa for facials is being built as we speak . I love the beach vibes this place gives me . You can find them on hotels.com to book a room and stay a couple of days .

Very nice people here! I had the Sunday Brunch special: 2 mimosas, fruit plate, small salad (excellent dressing!), delicious soup (curry with carrot and cabbage), curry chicken, saffron basmati rice, Mac & cheese, and sweet potato. Everything was very good and it was a great value for the price. The outdoor seating area was perfect for me, since I had my little dog with me.

This place is an absolute breath of fresh air! It's a delicious, small family-owned spot. We came for Sunday brunch and had one of the best meals ever. We got 2 courses for just $25 per person - the first one had turkey, curry chicken, rice & beans, plantains, and split pea soup - the second one had goat stew, mac & cheese and salmon - all of these were truly some of the best dishes I've ever had. Jeff and Lauren (the owners) are so kind and talented with their cooking. I can't wait to try their crepes for breakfast next time. Highly recommend this spot - affordable, great vibes, absolutely delicious - all I could ask for :)
