Island Pride Jamaican Restaurant

Island Pride – Gaithersburg, MD / Rockville, MD Hands down, the best FOODA vendor to come through my office this year. After lunch, a coworker asked if I had tried them before and mentioned that Island Pride is located in Gaithersburg—and that’s when it hit me. I had tried them before. And now I remember exactly why they stood out. The food is packed with flavor and made with care. Please try the roti—it is absolutely amazing. Perfectly seasoned, comforting, and filling in the best way. One bite and you’ll understand the hype. I’ll definitely be returning, because the snapper is next on my list, and if it’s anything like the roti, I already know it’s going to be worth the trip. Highly recommend

Service: We came to Island Pride casually for lunch around 4 p.m. on a Saturday. It wasn’t packed, and we were served pretty quickly. The menu had plenty of options, and the food looked freshly cooked. Taste: We ordered a large jerk chicken and a small curry goat, both with rice and peas, cabbage, and a roti, along with a coco bread. Everything was flavorful and tasted authentic. The two ginger lemon drinks we got were also refreshing and paired well with the meal. Ambiance: We dined in and enjoyed the Jamaican music playing on the TV, which added to the island vibe. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were well maintained. Overall Review: We paid around $60 for everything, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Island Pride is a great spot for

For the goat to be $25+ I was very upset to have received cold plantains with my food. They tasted old. The goat it self was pretty good but was missing that curry flavor.

Customer service is 0 in this place, i went to eat with my family, we ordered two large boxes and the food was served in one small container and one large, and being charged for two large. when we notice the difference in the containers we asked why they use small container while we requested for large, the lady was very defensive that we should not look for the size of the containers instead we should look for the size of the food in each container which did not make sense, we paid for two large and ended up having one small and and one large, we felt cheated. The lady was aggressive defensive no customer service we will never go back to this place ever again. The food also was not that good curry goat was the worst it didn't taste like a curry goat.

A nice low key Jamaican restaurant location beside York Castle ice cream 🍨 parlour in Rockville. But don't under estimate them. This is one of the few locations where everything pon di menu taste as it would back in Jamaica. From fry dumpling to boil dumplings, banana. Rice and peas and stew chicken. Jerk chicken and jerk pork and fish. Plus chicken and beef patties. You name it. They are in Rockville area so very far from us. But definitely worth the visit. I also want to thank them for their hospitality and help to get the stuff in the car.
