"We decided to start with beef patties as an appetizer while we waited for our entrees. The pastry of the patties was perfectly flaky, filled with a flavorful beef mixture that had just the right amount of spice. They were a delightful prelude to the oxtail curry goat we had ordered. At the time, we were the only diners in the restaurant, which made for quick service and a short wait for our meals—unlike the sometimes long waits you might find at other Caribbean restaurants. Our dishes arrived beautifully presented. The oxtail was incredibly tender, with a rich, flavorful gravy that added just the right touch of moisture. The meat fell easily off the bone, and the gravy was lighter than what you might typically encounter at other places. The curry goat was equally well-prepared; the meat was tender and easily pulled away from the bone. Although the curry wasn’t the bright yellow color I've seen elsewhere, its flavor complemented the meat beautifully. Both entrees were fantastic, but if I had to choose, I would lean towards the oxtail for its superior flavor and meat quality. We also tried a side of plantains (not pictured) which added a lovely sweetness to complement the savory dishes. Overall, I would rate Island Sensation Cuisine a solid 4.4 out of 5."

My staff brought me to the restaurant. You didn't have the article I wanted, so I ordered the oxtail. I loved it. The oxtail was so delicate and tasteful. The red beans and rice were delicious.

This is one of my favorite Caribbean restaurants in Phoenix! The food is amazing and the service is top-notch. They also feature a live band and an open mic night every Thursday. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the vibe is energetic. Food rating: 5/5.

A coworker of mine recommended this restaurant to me. Although they didn't have the dish I originally wanted, I decided to try the oxtail instead, and I absolutely loved it! The oxtail was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The red beans and rice were delicious as well. Visualizza piatti

I was absolutely blown away by my meal here. The oxtail was incredibly delicious. I ordered the large curry chicken, fried plantains, mac and cheese, and a spinach patty. I still find it hard to express just how tasty everything was and how happy this meal made me. The cooks were also very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place—no question about it!

The oxtail itself was expertly prepared—juicy and bursting with flavor in every mouthful. The combination of the crunchy steamed cabbage and the tasty plantain slices paired with the rice created a delightful harmony of flavors. I left feeling completely refreshed. Did I mention how fantastic it was? Thank you to the entire team! I will definitely be back—with my RV in tow! I plan to park in your lot until I’ve sampled everything on the menu. Exciting plans await!!! Visualizza piatti

I tried the oxtail dinner as takeout this time, and it was exceptional. Simply outstanding! The seasonings in every component are spot-on. The rice and peas are reminiscent of what you’d get from your mom if she hails from a tropical island where this dish is a staple, yet each variation has its own distinct, delightful twist. You can really taste the essence of the islands in every bite — it's fantastic. The oxtails were expertly prepared; the meat was tender and bursting with incredible flavors in every mouthful. Each bite felt like a little piece of heaven, perfectly complemented by the crisp, steamed cabbage and delicious plantain slices alongside the rice. I was in such a state of bli...

I'm relieved that the place I heard about in Avondale doesn't exist and that the nearest option has a five-star rating. Island Sensation Cuisine is a bit pricey, but they do caution you at the counter that it's not fast food. In Arizona terms, this means to relax for about 15 minutes, but trust me, it will be worth the wait. My oxtail dinner experience (which I ordered to-go this time) was exceptional. Absolutely top-notch! The seasonings in every dish are spot on. The rice and peas remind me of my mom’s cooking if she hailed from any tropical island where this is a staple; each version is unique and delightful, truly capturing that island essence in every bite. Amazing! The oxtails were per...

"i’ve been coming to lacuna for over two years now and this little gem is definitely one of my favorite places to be. i’m not much of a review-writer, but when i feel passionately about places (good or bad , i get inspired.as someone who leads an alcohol-free lifestyle, it is SO nice having this option to unwind and create some art, relax, or hang out with friends. i’ve truly made so many wonderful connections through lacuna that i will cherish for a lifetime!it’s also a great place to get work done. i work remote, so i spend a good majority of my week here at my second office ; the BOGO happy hour deal comes in clutch.i think it’s really great that there is a mix of events now too, not just strictly DJ’s performing 6-7 nights a week. (although i do absolutely love the nights when there’s a DJ as well ! the variety of events is great; chess tournaments, community coloring, workshops, recovery groups, massages, yoga etc. there’s been a lot of engaging activities that i enjoy attending or participating in.i feel like lacuna has become a lot stronger in both the workspace and community-front in the last year or so too. the kavatenders all have such a warm and positive energy and always make me feel special when i come in. it’s nice seeing management interacting with customers and staff more too. it’s nice overhearing the positive feedback from management to staff (or staff to staff , and hearing the conversations that the staff members have with guests. there just seems to be a lot more connection overall. lacuna is growing and glowing for sure. <3the price increase is a bit of a bummer, but in a time with inflation… what can you really do? i personally TRUST lacuna with their product and that’s what keeps me coming back. i know they put both quality and care into their products and it really reflects. it can be a pretty penny if you’re getting multiple drinks, but fancy craft cocktails at a regular bar can be the same way. plus, my points add up so quickly i get pretty frequent discounts with their reward system. it’s not the end of the world!i appreciate the subtle changes in the bar layout and decor too. even the little things keep it feeling fresh and a little new each time you come in.the *only* “negative” thing i have to say about the space is that it can be difficult to order a drink or close out a tab sometimes. there’s rushes and it gets busy, but sometimes it feels as if one staff member just isn’t enough during these times. sometimes there’s not a lot of communication about this either between staff and people trying to close out, but i’ve been coming here for awhile now so i know what to expect. if you’re in a time crunch, just give yourself a little buffer or cushion of time to get closed out (or order to go right off the bat and close out immediately .all things considered, though, 5 stars all the way around! lacuna is an ever-evolving, ever-growing spot and i’m excited to see what the future looks like for you guys! : bulaaaa!!!!"
