This is probably the best carribean restaurant in Fayetteville, with a restaurant and club that's pretty dope. The food is on the high-end, though.

Was skeptical because the parking lot was empty but boy was I wrong! A battle buddy and I stopped in for a late lunch as we both had a cravings for oxtails. I’ve tried almost every location in Fayetteville but was disappointed each time. On this day, Alex was the greatest host. He kept us entertained while we waited for our food. We laughed, joked, and talked a while. Alex was more than accommodating and even invited us to their three year anniversary party. We will definitely return again and looking forward to March 16th! If ever in doubt, just give them a shot-Bahama Breeze is no competition.

I can’t speak for the service or vibe because I was drunk and didn’t pay attention, but 5 stars because I remember the food being amaziiiiinng. So good!! Went to the club portion on a Friday evening and it was an older crowd, but the music was enjoyable and we had a great time.

I can't believe I went to this place and the random guy in the parking lot charged my driver to park in an already established parking space. I should've known better when I found out they stole that other person's purse and her money. Never going back

Just popped in for a quick lunch with my sister. I've not tried carribean quesadillas prior to today. Oh my, they brought the heat like I thought they would. There was a little sour cream and salsa on the side, just perfect ?I wanted Sorrel tea. However, they didn't have any. My sister and I both selected the ginger pineapple juice. No bubbles was perfect for bith of us. It was just right with the perfect balance with real cane sugahhh! That's right!She enjoyed the fried chicken in oxtail sauce, rice and peas, cabbage, and of course plantains! The service was excellent. It was not crowded. The portion sizes were perfect!Vegetarian options: All of the vegetables are seasoned great, not over salty. You can actually taste the "FLAVA " of the dishes! Not greasy.
If you don't mind having your money stolen, then this is the place for you. These people are crooked. Anyone that would lie to a police officer could not serve me anything. Save your money. There are other establishments more trustworthy and deserving of your money.

How are you going to advertise ladies night international Saturdays ladies get in free until 12:00 and then when I get in there asked me for $40. This is the fourth time I've tried to come inside of this place and each time it has been a ridiculous cover charge. And 0 people are inside. Please help me understand?

One of their employees stole money from my purse and when the police officer came the MANAGER, Maalika, gave the officer a fake name. They are refusing to corroborate with the investigation. This company hires people who steal then protects them. Every time the investigating officer calls the manager, she hangs up on him. Stay away from this place!
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ! No manager NEVER on duty. Workers not knowing what the kitchen has always running out of food but they willRing you up. Long wait just to tellYou they soldOut after they done charge you. I tried to give this restaurant another chance and once again. Charged meFor a dinner the cook came out stating they don’t have an item. Wanted a refund couldn’t get one due to a manager not on duty. I will never eat at this restaurant. 2 strikes your out. Get better management skills and workers.

Last night was my 1st time here but I definitely would return. Tyler our waitress was very pleasant, customer service was on point and she was patient as I asked questions concerning their drinks! The portions are definitely large! Definitely enough for 2-3 portions. The food was hot and fresh! We went for a Christmas party.

I've come into a beautiful pack setting, the music was good but the lady on patio was very helpful. I love reggae so hard I was unsure what I walked into but the patrons was fabulous and bubbly yes they dance in here and I enjoyed every minute. Yes I'll return but I appreciate the vibe.Parking: It's big but dance night it gets pack.

I believe that a business’s customer service determines the outcome of a customers experience.Our server Janel , is the prototype/protégé/ of what is to be expected at island flavor. In addition to the best customer service, the food was wonderful.. I’m telling everyone about this spot in the ville.

Island Flava is a nice Jamaican restaurant. I went on a day when it was less crowded. The server was nice and pleasant, but I only saw one server. I had a lemon drop as my drink of choice. The drink was okay. Also, I had the curry goat with rice peas, and plantains! I enjoyed the food, the curry goat had great spice and the rice and peas were good. Overall a good restaurant, I’d recommend better lighting.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options.Parking: Open space to park in parking lot
