Taste Of The Islands - Charleston

Dining here was outstanding! My visit was a delightful surprise, and I would absolutely come back again!

I love dining here; the staff is incredibly friendly. The brown braised chicken was delicious, and the oxtail is truly decadent. The portion sizes are generous, leaving me with plenty to take home for the next day. I highly recommend this place!

This restaurant is absolutely incredible! The atmosphere was spotless, and the woman who welcomed me was incredibly friendly and warm. It truly felt like a welcoming environment. My dining experience was nothing short of fantastic and unforgettable. The energy inside was electric, and the music was beautiful and soul-stirring—truly spectacular. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, and the sweet potato cake for dessert was simply outstanding. A huge thank you to the entire staff for their hard work. This restaurant deserves more than five stars, so I'm giving it even more stars for the amazing team!

The large ochs tail shell was in order. I also ordered the makkaroni, who allegedly have three different cheese bags in them, came in the round with no cheese at all.

I was a visitor to Brittlebank Park recently to attend a free Reggae concert, as part of the Spoleto/Piccolo Festival. The Taste of Islands was the only food vendor on site, so I patronized them in hopes of getting something good to eat for my dinner. Boy, was I disappointed! I know West Indian foods and flavors very well, so I expected to taste certain seasonings while eating the brown stewed chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage. I can honestly say that the food offered by The Taste of Islands was the least flavorful “Island” food that I have EVER tasted. Everything that I ate was under seasoned and tasteless…not to mention also being lukewarm to cool in temperature. I am thankful that there are two “Island” eateries, a short drive from my home in West Ashley, on Rivers Avenue that offer DELICIOUS, flavorful Caribbean dishes. I promise you that you will not ever patronize The Taste of the Islands again once you have had food from either of the two restaurants on Rivers Avenue.
