    Soul rolls
    Paula J.

    This is a hidden gem, service is great, Joshua D was very warm attentive and professional. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed vibe. The food is really good! For our apps we had the Rasta fries, Soul rolls and Caribbean street corn, all were served hot, perfectly seasoned with loads of flavor! For our entrees we had the Chicken and waffles with hot honey sauce, pan seared salmon, Fried whole wings with Mac and cheese, collard greens and potatoe salad, everything was delicious and flavorful and nicely presented. My only negative was my cocktails, I initially ordered the rum punch, it was so strong on the rum, there was no flavor, it was beautifully presented though. Joshua D was happy to change it but sadly it's replacement which was Bacardi gold and pineapple juice was not any better, still way to strong. This does not take this great restaurant off my list though. I will be back.

    No parking lot. Good service although I asked for water before I ordered my meal and received it at the end. I would get take*out moving forward.

    My husband and I decided to dine at Blended Flavors on a Sunday. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of delicious and flavorful dishes they offered. Our server, Chris, was exceptional. He ensured that our food arrived fresh, hot, and on time. Throughout our meal, he continued to check on us, which was greatly appreciated. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, with a well-curated music selection that was neither overpowering nor distracting. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Blended Flavors for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food, great music, and exceptional service.

    Jerk Chicken dinner with Turkey Collard Greens &  Macaroni & Cheese
    Erin B.

    We came here on a date and the service was great. We ordered drinks, strawberry mojito and a glass of cabernet wine. We ordered the wingettes with the carolina bbq sauce, it was amazing. The chicken was so crispy. I ordered the jerk chicken and it came with rice and two sides. I got the collard greens and mac & cheese. They were both really really good but I wish I got the yams. My boyfriend got the oxtail meal that also came with rice and two sides. He got the collard greens and mac & cheese as well. and for dessert, we both got the chocolate and caramel churros. I wanted the banana one but next time I will try that. The ambiance is very cute inside slightly small and a little chilly so dress warm in the winter.

    Rasta Pasta with fried catfish
    Daphne M.

    Hubby and I have been here before and enjoyed ourselves. So we decided to go again for a last minute date night. Vibe was nice with music we love. Service was on point, we were helped almost immediately and checked on frequently. For an app we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp. The sauce was tasty. Hubby got the Rasta pasta with catfish. The catfish was soooo good. Fried just the way we like it and it had this sweet glaze that added extra flavor. I got the Rasta pasta as well and loved it. It could've been a little bit spicer for me but it was full of flavor. We'll definitely be back again.

    Turkey wings are a 10 String beans are a 10 The Mac is a 7.5 The ox tails & Mac (which seems like a different kind of Mac btw) is a 8.5 Rice is a 5.. flavorful but not done all da way Greens were a 7 Whiting was good, 7 The banana pudding was probably da weakest cuz da pudding was like a gelatin type texture Service was cool and has a nice lil ambiance. I'd def return and suggest to others!

    On Sunday, April 19th, I gathered a group of eight to celebrate my son's 29th birthday. From the moment we arrived, we had a wonderful experience. We were warmly greeted by a lovely young lady at the bar, followed by a friendly and professional hostess who asked us to wait briefly while she prepared our table. Once seated, we were taken care of by our waiter, Jay, who truly made the evening exceptional. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine effort to ensure everyone was comfortable did not go unnoticed. He handled our drink, appetizer, and meal orders seamlessly and was always available for any questions. The food itself was outstanding--both the quality and portion sizes exceeded our expectations. To top it all off, Jay went the extra mile by informing the DJ about my son's birthday. The staff joined in the celebration, and my son was treated to a special birthday moment along with a piece of cake. For all of these reasons, I highly recommend **Blended Flavors Restaurant & Bar**. Thank you for making my son's birthday so memorable. Alicia Leroy

    Blended Flavors food was good, the portions were smaller than other southern spots I've gone to. They give you decent choices as sides which are great staples for a southern spot. Parking was off street on a busy road, but I was lucky to get something nearby. I would return for the fish and the turkey wings which were flavorful. Young wings and not the big ones, you get three for the price. No corn bread which was a bit sad.

    Fried shrimp and chicken platter
    Elaine D.

    I got the takeout shrimp and chicken platter. The shrimp were great and so was the mac and cheese. I'd love to go back and try the turkey wings and stay and have a drink. The martinis looked great.

    Jasmine A.

    The food was amazing. They should have the option to add corn bread to a meal for an up charge

    Oxtails - the person who ordered commented delish.

    Food is amazing. Music amazing. Ambiance cute. Parking can be a challenge since the location is at 628 W St. George Ave Linden Nj. There is decent parking on residential side streets.

    Mac & cheese, Yams and fried whiting entree.

    This is my second visit here so you know there will be a third. The food is always on point. Look Dior ( our server) when you go.

Now we did order takeout, but we have ordered takeout from other places in Linden and even as far as Woodbridge and we have never received food this bad. I've seen the reviews that this place was rated with extremely good food and reasonably priced but what we had was extremely disappointing. For the appetizers we had the potato pancakes, which were soggy mushy the Polish Kabasa that was extremely salty, and the pierogies which were dried out on the outside and dry on the inside. For dinners, we had the Abigail's chicken (which I don't know what kind of sauce they put all over it, but it was horrendous), the braised short ribs (there was only one whole rib with the casing still on it and had nothing but fat and grizzle), the stuffed flounder (was too extremely thin slices of flounder stuffed with what was supposed to be crab meat stuffing, but they might as well just call it stuffing because there was no crab or even crab taste), we also ordered a fourth dinner, which I cannot remember what it was, but it was again extremely disappointing. We definitely will not order from here again, whether it be going and eating in or doing takeout.

    I came to Blossoms Brunch Bar with my wife and kids. The atmosphere is very chic. You can tell they…read moreput a lot of attention to detail in creating it, and I think it is definitely shining through. They do have a small parking lot in their back, but it is maybe 3 spots total, so you may need to find street parking. The service is pretty good, although I was initially annoyed they didn't have paper menus and we had to use our phones. Being on your phone with a small child in a restaurant doesn't always go super well. Later I saw a table get a set of paper menus, which I was a little annoyed they didn't just offer us, especially with a small child. The food was overall good. I shared the pancake trio and the Monroe with my son. The pancakes were all really good. We had gotten the strawberry cheesecake, the caramel pecan, and the blueberry lemon. I think my son really liked the strawberry cheesecake. I thought the blueberry lemon were great. The pancakes tasted like they used some sort of lemon zest or something in the batter, as the lemon really shined through nicely. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the bacon was pretty spot on. I had also gotten a hot chocolate which I thought was good, although there was some powdered mix that was not fully incorporated in the bottom. My biggest gripe was they automatically added an 18% gratuity to all parties of two or more, and if you were going to do that, just raise your prices and have a no-tipping policy. I am sure there are solo diners, but basically everyone is getting charged the 18%, so just raise your prices so there is more transparency for what you are being charged since there was literally no single diners there when I was there. There was also a few price things on our bill that I wasn't thrilled about. Their menu has listed items that are additional for an upcharge. When I had ordered the Monroe, I had the option to add cheese to it, and they asked if I would like any cheese with it, so I said sure. The little bit of cheese was an extra $1.50, and I feel like being that they have other things that they clearly called out as an upcharge, they should have let me know it was an extra $1.50 for this. Also on the bill, they charged me for oat milk for my hot chocolate. I had to draw this to their attention that I hadn't ordered oat milk. they merely said, "well we mixed it in." That's not the point, it did taste a little off, and I specifically ordered a regular hot chocolate. While they took the 50 cents off, it did feel like they were just nickeling and diming me on some things. Overall, I had an okay experience. The pancakes were good, but the service was friendly. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and people were waiting outside so I think that speaks to how good the food is and maybe I just had a slightly less positive experience.

    I bumped into this spot on a whim cuz the wife was in the mood for yams after scrolling and seeing…read morea few soul food posts. So I decided to venture here since it was closest in the area at the time. The inside was cozy and quaint, I took my food to go but had to wait a bit even though I ordered ahead, but dude DID say it would take 25-30 min for my order. Polite young man I should add. I don't mind the wait cause I could hear the fryer heavy at work in the back, and I've learned not to rush the process. I will say for it to be a soul food spot, I would've expected a bit more of variety besides fish and wings. I also hate that they were out of a lot of stuff, from whiting to collard greens, and while I'm waiting I overheard dude tell another customer they were out of Mac & cheese. Soooo.. fingers crossed on how this meal goes.. Sure enough... They messed up the order... I ordered double mac and unfortunately, since they're out of it, there's nothing that can be done ... Not to mention, they forgot to give me my shrimp so I had to turn around for that .. hopefully the food is good, again fingers crossed.. I'll update shortly when I get back to the crib Ok, let's get to the food, cause that's the main reason we're here... Yams - 10.. These were clearly the star of the meal!! they were cooked down to perfection, with a beautiful sweet glaze, and I have zero complaints at all!! Wings - 8.. I got the Thai chili wings, which were good and fried well, and nice size wings, I just expected a little bit of spice. But again no complaints. I'd order them again. I had one of My Son's honey barbecue wings, and those were pretty good too. Mac - best of MID! The Mac wasn't bad. The problem is, there was no successful marriage between the macaroni noodles and the cheese itself. There were several times where I would have a fork full of cheese and two noodles, which was a pretty unpleasant bite. Yes I love cheesy mac & cheese for sure, but I like it to be GELLED together in Harmony This seemed like they took chunks of cheese and mixed it into the boiled macaroni and baked it. Again, it didn't taste bad, the ingredients just didn't merge. Shrimp - 9. I'm glad I turned around to get these shrimp that they initially forgot. But shrimp were very nice sized, plump, seasoned very well and crisp but not over fried. Great job here, no complaints at all. I actually am looking forward to having their shrimp again next time I come. Overall, I enjoyed the food. And unfortunately, Yelp doesn't give half stars. But I would be remiss to give them a three, being that these were just human errors and that's OK in my opinion. As I said, the young man was very polite that helped me with my order, and again the food was very good. So yes, I hated that my order wasn't accurate, but they did their best to rectify it and served good food. That said, I'll definitely come back and suggest this spot to others.

    I give Monai's Soul Food 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4. Considering black-owned businesses are few…read morea far between in the Central NJ area, I made it a point to go support one for Juneteenth. After trying to decide between a handful of places, I decided on Monai's mostly because I saw they have a parking lot and I just simply wasn't in the mood to be searching around for street parking that day. When I arrived, I asked for a menu and after looking it over, I decided on the sweet chili wings with mac & cheese and green beans. I was told the wait would be 20-25 minutes. It did take a little bit longer than that. It was probably more like 30-35 minutes. I sat at one of the empty tables while I waited. They had a good playlist of r&b music playing which made the wait a little more favorable. Once my food was ready, I took my food to go. My favorite part of my meal was the chicken wings. They were cooked and seasoned well. The sweet chili sauce was the icing on the cake. The sides were just okay to me. The mac & cheese could use a little more of something...maybe a little touch of salt or seasoning. The green beans were nothing special and tasted like they came from a can. The sides weren't terrible or inedible, but could use a little more of something. With that being said, it was good enough that I'd return. I would like try some of their other entrees.
