This breakfast is absolutely delicious. I got the liver with yams, sweet plantain and green plantain with extra gravy. It comes with dumplings too. Total cost 8.64 and enough food for 2 adults or 3 small children. The Liver Breakfast is only available on the weekends. Budget friendly meal.

IRIE VYBEZ makes food that reminds you of a sunny day at the beach in the Caribbean filled with laughter and a full belly OR a holiday filled with family love and celebration!! The authentic flavors of each meal, served hot and filled with island love adds to the experience. The best Caribbean Food in the Albany area! I had the jerk chicken meal with rice and peace, also the macaroni and cheese, fall off the bone oxtail plate, etc. Every meal was perfect! I high recommend! 10 out of 10! Great place for food for a family or catered event.

Stopped by for fried dumplings, was a little skeptical from the reviews but the lady working the counter was very nice and I got three huge dumplings for only 3 dollars they're fresh and crispy I couldn't be more satisfied!
