Festival | Island Inspired Fare — Restaurant in New York

This was legit the worst food I’ve ever received. I ordered because it was the only “Jamaican” restaurant that would deliver to me. I wish I didn’t. The food was terrible.

Please stop mocking Caribbean cuisine like this. This ain’t it. Your chef needs to go back to the drawing board. The rice and peas was more like a mashed mess. I ordered jerk shrimp and got shrimp with salt and pepper sprinkled on it. Everything was so bland. I feel like I’ve been pranked. This literally cannot...
