D'S ISLAND GRILL - TUCSON, AZ

This restaurant serves Jamaican food and is located in the strip mall on Fort Lowell and Country Club.

The interior has been decorated with a wonderful vibrant color theme of yellow and green with some tiles on the wall and the necessary picture of Bob Marley. and the owner's wife (i'm assuming) was very interested in how we learned about the restaurant (its newly opened as of about a month) and how we were enjoying the food and also was very helpful in explaining the various dishes.

Bill and I shared a double meat entree and the meats we tried were jerk chicken and browned stew chicken. It was very tender and moist and the jerk chicken was spicy with a lip tingle but not so hot I couldn't enjoy the flavor. I guess there could have been more actual chicken since the pieces did not include breasts or wings but every other part of the bird.

This was accompanied by tangy coleslaw and a huge amount of delicious rice and beans and one festival. Festivals are slightly sweetened cake donuts. We also ordered a side of them and a side of plantains which were great. they weren't caramelized on the outside which was good since i was filling up on the festivals which i wouldn't order again.

We will be back  and Bill's going to get the oxtails and i'm going to try their jerk chicken quesadilla and probably the plantains again.
