This area is full of Jamaican restaurants I tried most of them when I moved here about two months ago. This is the only one that I would recommend the food is always good and they give great portions. I have never seen a Jamaican restaurant that gives you so much oxtails. If you just moved to this area, you have to try this place. You will definitely love it.

The very worst experience ever. I ordered the chicken stew with rice and peas, then after ordering the main dish as a side the menu program stated that I had to choose a second side, yet there’s no choices, just steamed vegetables with a selection box. I figured why not since cabbage is a vegetable, but nope I didn’t get it... I stated I’d like as a second selection Mac & Cheese but nope, I didn’t get that either. The chicken was hard to chew on as though it’s been under the heated light all day long, without anyone moving it around so the sauce can keep it moist. The vegetables were soggy and the only thing that was not too bad was the rice...then without even asking they took out a tip. I will let everyone in 10550 know about your tricks and nasty food...lucky I had already paid. NO STARS, NO POINTS, NO MORE ORDERS FROM ME.....Good riddance!

Customer service was 1/10. I’m vegan and the waiter put jerk chicken as gravy in my food. When I went to return 1 minute after I left the restaurant I politely I ask the waiter if I can get another order she expressed to me that I have to pay for another order because I left the restaurant. I kindly walked away and told her thank you. I’ll won’t be returning her again

The food tastes awful like it was old a week ago bad oils, looks like poison food can make you feel sickness ?, this store restaurant could close down

Nope!I've ordered the chicken soup from here many times, and this is the lowest of the low and most certainly my last order. (See pics below)Got a $10 large soup:-Broth was not seasoned, thin, and oily-Chicken was not seasoned, and I only got 3 knee pieces of chicken-2 baby dumplings-3 half carrots and 1 edge piece of potatoI'm actually offended that a JAMAICAN restaurant served this soup. I'm almost certain there must be a new cook in the kitchen because it was bad! My son gave the soup back to me and said it wasn't good and he's eaten there soup before.

This is now my FAVORITE Jamaican ?? spot in Mt. Vernon. The chef NEVER DISAPPOINTS.The potato salad is on pointMac and Cheese so yummy.Vegetarian options: Never overcookedNever over seasonedTastes like fresh instead of frozenNot seasoned with meat or poultryKid-friendliness: My children Love the Mac and CheeseWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp from the front door (see photos)
I can’t rate their in person service or the atmosphere being that I ordered. By far the worst Caribbean (Jamaican) food I’ve ever had. I read the reviews and figured I’ll give it a chance. I regret it! The Mac and cheese was dry with no flavor so was the rice.

Golly, their food, is INSANE. If I could rate 100 stars, I would. Their fried chicken is great, mac and cheese is awesome, better than a lot of places out there, rice and peas is amazing, but the yams/sweet potatoes, were so good, I thought I was going to have to slap someone twice. The cornbread, was also very good, but as a person that loves potato salad, it was OKAY/not that good. The food was okay the first time I ordered, reheating it made it taste better, second time ordering, it was good enough.Overall though, I like this place a lot better than Kings Southern Delight and recommended everyone to try out their food. You get a lot worth your money.

I didn’t like the service today. The person didn’t add utensils or ask if I wanted gravy my rice. If he is the owner he should let his workers do the job. Small portions on a large meals.

When I tell you do not walk go RUN to Flavas do it!! I am so thankful we tried it out. The place itself was very clean, organized, well-lit, the owner at the front taking our order was very kind and patient.. but the food...wow. Every bite is nostalgic, authentic Jamaican food, it leaves your stomach happy but it feeds your soul. This is what soul food is about. We ordered two plates (the small comes with 2 sides, large comes with 3) for main we got jerk chicken and the pepper steak on sides was the Mac, rice & peas, yams, and Rasta pasta. Everything was phenomenal. The jerk had heat and flavor, the steak was soft and juicy, Mac was the right amount of baked and cheese ratio, the Rasta pasta played no games full of flavor and creamy, the yams were the perfect balance of sweet, and the rice was perfectly cooked. He didn't even have hesitation or give a hard time about having some of the oxtail gravy to smother the sides. Honestly after trying the food and the gravy I can't wait to go back and get the oxtail next time. I want to throw a party just to have an excuse for their catering. And the yams alone I could have ordered by the gallon. Everything was delicious, authentic, and clean!
