Welcome to Island Ray, where our journey began in the midst of the pandemic. Witnessing the dedication and sacrifice of frontline workers in our East Flatbush community, our founder, Marlon, felt compelled to shine a light on their efforts, which seemed to go unnoticed.

In response to this disparity, Marlon's wife and partner, Lenna, initiated a Go Fund Me campaign to ensure that the frontline heroes in our neighborhood received the recognition they deserved. Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors, they successfully provided meals to local hospitals and police stations, sparking the inception of Island Ray.

Meet Marlon, a self-taught chef who discovered his culinary passion at the tender age of ten, learning from his mother. Armed with generations of family recipes, Marlon crafts a menu that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also evokes cherished childhood memories. At Island Ray, our dishes are created with love, utilizing only the freshest ingredients and traditional cooking methods passed down through generations.

Island Ray is a culinary endeavor fueled by the heart, where a mother and son duo are dedicated to bringing the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean directly to your doorstep. Whether you crave the crunch of crispy fried chicken, the richness of savory oxtail, the succulence of buttery shrimp, or something in between, we offer a diverse menu that caters to every palate. Our mission is to transport our customers to the enchanting islands with every delectable bite, providing a true taste of the Caribbean that lingers long after the meal is over.
