"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."
