“ Visited Island Bites tonight for dinner and got a large oxtail dinner with rice and peas, fried plantains, collard greens, and an extra side of Mac n Cheese. The portions are amazing. The oxtail was so tender it fell off the bone, and everything was seasoned to perfection. Would recommend and will be coming back! ”

“ I was looking for delicious roti in Manhattan, and a friend recommended island bites. The staff here is super friendly! Here, they make Roti on Friday and sat, and boy, it is tasty!! The pepper sauce is amazing if you like spice and everything is cooked fresh to order. If you want a great roti, head here. Also, throughout the week, they have their regular menu, which is delicious, vegetarian friendly, and full of flavor! Meet me at island bites on Friday! ”

“ If you're in Manhattan, you need to check out Island Bites. This small spot packs a huge punch! The food is genuinely great. I devoured the oxtail and rice and beans with spinach, and their Haitian Patty (a fantastic savory pastry I tried for the first time). Beyond the delicious dishes, the service was fabulous. Jason was incredibly helpful, taking time to explain the menu and even offering samples before I ordered. That's customer service done right! Highly recommend. ”
