The rice and peas was scorched and could taste the burntness which made the oxtails taste horrible. This restaurant was at the top of my list for Jamaican food but because of this error it has dropped to the bottom. Take your time and cook quality food and if you burn a pot of rice or something throw it away dont serve your customers your mistakes.

I don’t know where to begin! If God himself were in Columbia for Lunch, he’d eat here! Each bite had me dancing in the parking lot. Island Paradise is one of the best kept secrets in Columbia and one of the most authentic Caribbean restaurants within 100 miles. Jerk chicken is spiced nice and the sauce will have you licking your fingers and asking for more. Curry Chicken and Curry Goat were both bold and delicious. I’m not sure about some of the reviews below regarding occasional substitutions or a bit of a wait, but, to my non-West Indian friends, I’d say that’s solid proof it’s authentic. If you’re reading reviews and wondering if you should eat here, the answer is “yes!” You will not be disappointed! Even if you have to drive a bit, it’s well worth it. Big Up Island Paradise!!

Where do I begin?? First and foremost this is by far the best AUTHENTIC Jamacian Food within a 100 mile radius (in my opinion). Everytime I come here my food is cooked FRESH, even though sometimes it requires extra preparation time, as all food does, I don't mind because I know I will not be disappointed. THIS IS NOT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT WITH A DRIVE THRU WINDOW, so if you were looking for that I think there is a Sonic across the street. Great, delicious food!! A must stop. Won't disappoint Update: I have read these reviews and I am appalled. This is a great establishment with excellent and authentic food. Customer service is always on point because they never forget my order. People need to stop tearing down Black business. People don't understand how hard it is to run a personal business, on top of handling people's ignorance and lack of understanding.

Mask are required and only six people allowed at one time.

Restaurant hours posted on the door state they are open on Tuesdays from 11am until 8pm. 645pm on Tuesday and the restuarant is closed. I do not know if the hours posted are incorrect or if this was an isolated incident.
