Absolutely amazing!! I don't even know where to start. Service was amazing, the food was delicious, amazingly prepared and the perfect serving. The restaurant is a perfect little setting inside, the atmosphere was perfect. I would order everything on the menu. I would do lunch a dinner here in the same day.
This is a must have for me when I'm here.
Thank you for great food and great service. -

My lunch from Island Krave was so good today! I love Caribbean food, especially Jamaican. I grew up on beans and rice, curry chicken, and cocoa bread. If you're unfamiliar with the flavors and spices that make this traditional fare, you're honestly missing out.
I had a taste for jerk chicken today and decided I'd give Island Krave a try. I was a little put off that the simple, jerk chicken sandwich on cocoa bread with fries was a little pricey until I got my order. This isn't your standard chicken sandwich. It's a massive-sized slice of soft, melt-in-your-mouth cocoa bread with mounds of fresh, roasted chicken tossed in jerk sauce. Jerk chicken is usually a little spicy but this sauce had the right amount of sweetness to it. The fries were seasoned more than the chicken - but they both were good.
I was impressed by the portion size. There's enough for two people or two meals (I'm definitely saving my other half for later). The cocoa bread is unlike any I've had before it's not thick like most places, it's baked perfectly and tastes DELICIOUS!
I also got the signature tea and I wasn't impressed by that. I thought signature would mean it was going to be a tea blend signature to the establishment but it was basic, Lipton tea with some sugar, it still had some warmth to it like it had just been brewed.
Despite that, I'm impressed with the food and will be trying this place again. -

I wanted to try this place for a while and passed it in Downtown Ghent on many occasions. I even saved this place as a must try! I decided to order delivery for lunch one day at my job and I ordered the lunch special curry chicken.
Let me just say this was very disappointing, complete trash actually. I couldn't even finish the meal, it was just simply not good at all.
I actually really love Carribean food as well but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. And it was shocking to me too as others food pictures looked pretty good, but my experience was so bad I not only could not recommend but I highly doubt I'd ever go back again. -

Visiting from out of town & decided to give this place a try & the food was delicious we had the jerk chicken Mac & cheese, plaintains and some cocoa bread & omg it was AMAZING! I wanted to order another plate to go but husband wanted to try somewhere else later on for dinner. The food was delicious fresh, hot & flavorful especially the Mac & Cheese & jerk chicken if I'm ever in town again I will for sure come back here! Kudos to the chef & our server was great very friendly and down to earth!

Great service from friendly people! Love the cabbage and all the meat! The single portion is usually very filling for me so I just get the cabbage side every time I come here.
