Taste of Di Island Eatery — Restaurant in Mackinaw Township

Really good and balanced food.

We ordered the Chickpea delight and Brown stew Tofu. The food was really nice and flavorful. We had sweet potato fires and sweet plantains for sides. I personally liked the sweet plantains best and she preferred the sweet potato fries.

One of the last things I expected in this touristy town would be fantastic Jamaican food. What an amazing surprise which we have determined to be one of our favorite meals during our trip up North. We carried out and ate at a picnic table since we had our dog with us, but the 2 women working were amazingly helpful and kind. There are numerous gluten free selections (I am celiac), and the flavors are out of this world. We shared the curried goat and jerk chicken and sides of the sauteed vegetables, plantains, rice and beans, and a refreshing salad. We are now contemplating coming back for dinner to try more. ...
