    Great local Jamaican food. The soup, curry, peppered chicken was all fantastic. We live in Oregon now but used to live in MA, close to Flava Jamaica. When we come back to visit family, this is a stop we always make!

    Mom & Pop type vibes and decent Jamaican food. Nothing really more to it. Plenty of parking and seats inside, however when I went on a early Monday afternoon it was a bit cold and dim inside (and not in a romantic sense). They had a small team and I was fortunate to have good timing because a line started forming behind me and it took some minutes for the cashier to serve and check out each customer. I ordered a medium plate but they only have small and large. The large was HUGE and can feed two grown adults. I got rice and beans, jerk chicken, cabbage and Mac and cheese. My plate was so full that the cashier couldn't even close the plastic tray shut. Nothing was really spectacular but it was fine and I would order it again. The server poured a lot of jerk sauce on all my food, but because it's so much food I should have asked for some on the side. Eventually the food ended up drying up. I'd come here again for sure, but probably best to take home and eat.

    . I ordered the jerk chicken with plantain . The chicken was grilled with a very appetizing look . they poured "jerk sauce" onto the chicken . Looked great ! as is looks can be deceiving . Pulling the chicken apart I thought the chicken wasn't done , but the pink color came from the "jerk" sauce . The sauce taste like regular bbq sauce . The flavor did not taste Jamaican at all . The plantain was served cold . They sell this pink bbq sauce by the bottle . Not tasty, not satisfying. -K. Lee

    Food was great. The owner was fantastic! He came out and asked how things were, made meals spicier when asked. Wonderful people, wonderful service!

    This place is great! Authentic & good every time! For the people complaining about "Extra Gravy", like damn do you want Rice or soup? All that dam gravy, how is the meat suppose to stay juicy if yall asking for 3 pounds of gravy on 1 plate of rice!? You've been eating long enough now Stop being greedy...

    The only time I've had Jamaican food was from the @JamaicanMeHungry Food Truck in Boston, AND I brought a co-worker who is Jamaica-born and wildly skeptical about legit Jamaican food from a truck in Boston, and he gave it a Thumbs-up for taste, menu, and authenticity. "Flava Jamaica" seems to exude all three of those categories and therefore worth a 30-minute drive to check it out. Note: I recommend their lunch specials, which are ample and a little bit less expensive. Enjoy! https://www.flavajamaicarestaurant.com/menu.html#1

    My bf and his mom were looking for Jamaican food (they are Jamaican). I left my expectations at the door, when I didnt smell any food. But they were hell bent on ordering. I went with the curry shrimp since it was made to order. The food was ready within 7 minutes, which was nice. But it had no flavor at all. No taste. 5 medium shrimp, some onions and peppers. The rice? Tasteless. Where is the coconut milk, pimento, and thyme? A few hard pieces rice cropped up in my plate and I was done. They went with jerk chicken (gave it a 3) and oxtails (she gave it a 4) both with rice and peas with cabbage. The food was "okay", but I guess I'm biased, New York has more authentic flavors of Caribbean food. The politeness and speed of service is the only reason they got a full 3 stars. Come on guys add a little seasoning please.

    "Sticky sweet and spicy" chicken rice plate
    John P.

    If you want some delicious bomb Jamaican Food do yourself a favor and GO TO FLAVA JAMAICA RESTAURANT! The curry goat plate here is excellent. The large portion is massive and is enough for two meals. Rice and peas are excellent, and the veggies are very addicting. The oxtail is very good too but I prefer the goat much more. However, today I decided to try something new.. - Sticky Sweet & Spicy Chicken rice plate. It wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting literally sticky, saucey, sweet and spicy chicken. However, it was more of a sweet braised chicken and its soupy sauce. It still taste good, but it's name did not represent what I received. I'm sticking with curry goat from now on. Overall this place is amazing and the staff is very friendly! Go support their business!

    Plantains and mac and cheese

    My oxtails had no taste and they gave me a large plate full of rice and bones. They also ran out of sides
