Island Taste Jamaican Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

This was the worst food I’ve ever had in my entire life. I heard about this restaurant through social media. Everyone was saying how good and authentic the food was. Majority of the feedback was great. I love Jamaican cuisine. Especially Jerk chicken. So, I decided to order through Uber eats. I ordered the Jerk Chicken. With Rice, Yams, Mac&Cheese and Cornbread.
