For potluck Xmas we decided on bringing Jamaican patties. Jamaican Flavors has cocktail patties which was recommended by friends. My GF suggested one dozen?! I got three dozen! They were out of beef already and chickpeas was not what we wanted; only chicken was available. The chicken patties were delicious! We also got a dozen coco bread. Two disappeared by the time I got home! read more

It's important to see my food being packed. It's important to see servers being clean and sanitizing their work surfaces. It's also important to take walk ins and provide service on the spot. I strongly recommend this place because ultimate amount of food for an unbelievable price. I had enough oxtail to for two days; I counted over 10 big pieces of oxtail. YEAH, I was shocked also about the 10 big pieces of tender oxtail. The service is efficient, and this place can get crowded. We all know Jamaican Flavors have patty's, but the meals are GOOD also. read more

Jamaican Flavors has never failed me. Over the years, whether it was a quick single meal because I didn't feel like cooking or catering family event, the service has always been top tier. My family esp especially love that they have an economic option that serves about 8 and you can add (2) protein, a starch, a veggie and everyone gets a slice of cake and it comes with (2) large drinks. There's always so much food left over after everyone eats. Can't beat it. The space is small and accommodates about 6 customers tailgating each other to get to the counter. Once you accomplish that, it moves along pretty quickly. The workers are nice and it's seamless. The hot counter offers all your major Caribbean staples: jerk chicken (boneless and bone on) , shrimp, curry chicken, curry goat, etc. They also have about (2) soup options daily and your baked goods like beef patty and coco bread. No review would be complete without the honorable mention of the Rasta pasta which you can get with or without added options of jerk chicken or shrimp. Baybeeee, let me tell you, this plate is KING. It's like a warm hug that puts you to sleep. At checkout you can add slices of cake or your fresh juices. My go to is a refreshing cucumber ginger that just hits every time. Great food at good cost and with excellent service. read more

An A-OK experience at Jamaican Flavors. I had never heard of this establishment until my friend mentioned it. Apparently, it has multiple locations with great reviews. We stopped in for lunch one day and I must say I wasn't blown away. Jamaican Flavors is located in the heart of Springfield Gardens. Be mindful, parking is tough unless you take a chance and park in the mini-mall across the street. There was a line however, things moved pretty quickly. Upon first glance, they have a great menu. It features your traditional Jamaican entrees like Bar-B-fried chicken, curry goat, stew chicken, etc. They also offer varieties of freshly baked patties, desserts, and homemade juices. Moreover, they offer family meals at a great value. I decided to keep things light and purchased 2 pieces of their southern fried chicken and a beef patty. My friend decided to go for a full meal of southern fried chicken with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. We also purchased natural drinks - sorrel and carrot juice. This is a true carry-away or take out spot, meaning, there is no place to sit inside. So be prepared to purchase and go. Now let's talk about the food. The fried chicken was ok. It was seasoned nicely but it was spicy. It tasted as if they added scotch bonnet pepper into the fried chicken batter. I like spicy food and have a high tolerance for spice, but I did not like it in this case. Ultimately, I've had better fried chicken. For the beef patty, I had a spicy version. Overall, it was good. The filling was seasoned nicely and it was'nt spicy, in my opinion. My only gripe is that I wish it had a more flaky crust. Finally, the carrot juice was delicious. In fact, I would say it was very authentic to traditional Jamaican carrot juice. There was a hint of some sort of spice or aromatic added that gives it a slight difference from the traditional juice, but overall, it was tasty. In terms of service, the staff were fast and pretty friendly for the most part. Service is quick and you can purchase your food with cash or card. In terms of the menu, not all things were available. Interestingly they offer Jamaican-style boba tea however, there was none available. Thats super unique and I'm interested to try it, if I ever return. Overall, it was an ok experience. I was not thoroughly impressed by the food but it hit the spot. I would return if I were in the area, but it wouldn't go out of my way to visit nor would I immediately recommend to others. read more

They have never disappointed me I been going here for years and have even gotten catering. Today was the latest catering I purchased and I must say the process was so smooth. I would recommend them anytime. I usually walk in to order but this time I didn't really have the time to go there to order it. I relied on their online system and I'm so happy to say it was a success. I ordered for 12p, I got there at 12:15 gave them my name & within 5 min they were out with my order packed in heavy duty bags. They get a 10/10 from me. It was the most smoothest transition and the person that brought the food out helped me to my car. Definitely check them out for catering. As far as ordering regular meals there is always a line when I go no matter when I go. But it usually goes fast. The food is good and tasty. The parking is horrible but you make it work. I started going to Jamaican Flavors as a teenager in Jamaica Ave. I used to only get their beef patties. They are still on the avenue so if you ever there go & get you some patties. read more

Jamaican Flavors is trying to dig more into people's pockets like unfortunately other businesses are too. For some reason when you order their pasta they add on $2 extra charge. I'm not sure why since the order includes a protein & a side order. I don't come here often & in fact haven't been in years & it will be some time before I return, if I even return. This is the same pasta from years ago, what has changed. You can still buy pasta from the supermarket for a $1.00, what's the $2.00 charge for?!? read more

Jamaican Flavors is a very small takeout, sometimes you may have to wait outside. The food is not bad, I've had the fish which is really good as you can see in the picture. The red pea soup with beef lacks the beef, I had two cubes of beef in a large soup with lots of provisions but, it taste good. There is no ambiance, just come in, GET IT AND GIT . read more

I have had couple dishes here from patties, soups, bun and cheese, cakes, juices, rasta pasta, sweet chilli shrimp, jerk chicken, curried chicken roti etc. The food is always good. I would love if they had a dine in spot in the Jamaica area. read more

The food that I absolutely loved was the curry chicken roti and the jerk chicken patty. The roti was fresh, light and fluffy. The curry was well seasoned the meat was very tender and it was just VERY good. Even the next day when I had to warm them up. It was still very delicious. Also good was the jerk chicken patty. You can see the chunks of meat in the patty. What I didn't enjoy as much was the curry chicken patty. That one tasted like the frozen patties you can buy from the store and warm yourself. The mean was ground yo very fine. The "filling" was MISSING and it just had no real flavor. Granted both the curry and jerk could've both been frozen instead of made fresh it's just the jerk was the better of the two flavor wise. I'll be honest I ate my patties first so I was a little hesitant about the roti but they definitely made up for it. My son ate the beef patty he said it was good but there was minimal meat/filling on the inside. The service and ambiance is exactly what you expect from a Jamaican restaurant...so if you know you know it's NOT sunshine and rainbows. I would go back for the roti. read more

Service is never great, so i'm just going to put that part out there now, but the food is always solid. Their soup, regardless of the type, is well flavored with great depth. The patties are fresh and the coco bread is always soft and delicious. read more

The food here in not like it once was. I ordered chicken Rasta pasta, expecting something delicious. It was mushy flavorless and the chicken looked dead, like zombie dead. Also I got a snack, the guzarda, not delicious. What I will say is that the carrot punch is yummy. Service was fine but whoever is in the kitchen, should hang it up. read more

Who wants to cook? My Family Reunion this year was held here in New York. We ordered food from this wonderful restaurant!! So professional. Was helped generously by staff to figure out feeding 175 peeps. Rasta pasta, peas and rice, boneless jerk, Mac and cheese, fresh garden salad, fried Chicken, escovitch whiting, steamed veggies, potato salad, and various layer caked. All food was prepared and ready on time for pickup. Sooooooo delicious and definitely prepared with the customer in mind. My family loved the food! I will definitely be using this location for future events. Thank you for being professional , competent and reliable!!! Bravo !! read more

We came back to eat some more elsewhere when before that. Jerk chicken and rasta pasta in queens and then it was so tasty. read more

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this! I thought it would be greasy but it wasn't at all. Lines can get long at this place with many cars double parked outside so do keep that in mind before going. Had the meal for two and the combo was tasty and affordable. Jerk Chickennnnnnnn! Mac and Cheeseeeeeeee! Will be going back for a late night meal soon. The two cake slices I got were moist and just the right portion. Blue Velvet Cake Slice Pina Colada Cake Slice read more

I visited Jamaican Flavors with my wife, and upon arrival, the store was boiling hot with all the heat entering from outside, especially since the store is located so close to the bus stop. I asked why the doors were open, and I was told that if the doors were closed, customers wouldn't come inside, which is absolutely ridiculous. If your customers aren't comfortable while shopping, what's the purpose of doing any business? Anyway, we ordered two separate meals (a large curry goat and a large curry chicken) and four vegetable patties. As we were preparing to pay for our meal, the customer ahead of us ordered a significant amount of food as well, along with beverages. As hot as the day was, and with the inside feeling like over 100 degrees, the customer requested a cup with ice. I was astonished by what came next. The young lady processing the order charged the customer $1.00 for a cup of ice. That's when I thought to myself, this is absolutely preposterous. I felt like walking out of the store and canceling our orders, but we didn't. The level of customer service at this location on Merrick and Valley Stream is ridiculous and poor. There are so many other competitors in the area; if this continues, I'm sure this restaurant will not survive at this location. read more

Best patties in the US that I've had so far and that includes both the East and West Coasts

When you really want some authentic food, this is the place to come and check out in queens. I've been here about 6 or 7 times while I was in New York, wonderful authentic Jamaican style food services just beyond approach, and the restaurant it is quaint. That ambience is nice and it's a takeout. You can order a head or get there in order. Everything you want. Things are cooked to order outside the. Pastries or the beef patties that they have. Everything else is just simply great. Make sure you get out and give them a try read more

With so much competition it was quite difficult to choose which Caribbean restaurant I wanted to go to but base on my location and the strong reviews I got from google map, I finally decided to settle with Jamaican Flavors and boy was I glad I came here. The food service is pretty straight forward. You wait until it's your turn, walk in, tell them which plate and size you want and boom, food is served. The service was quite fast which I like. Time is money as they would say. Speaking of money, their dishes are also fairly priced in comparison to other Caribbean restaurants that I've been to. I got their oxtail plate, which came with rice, oxtail and steam veggies and the portion was huge. For $16, it not only satisficed my oxtail craving but left me enough meat for a second meal the next day. Now speaking of the next day, the left over was absolute delicious. I reheated it in the oven and it tasted just as great as the first day and it filled mu tummy with complete satisfaction. With that said, I'm so glad I went here and I think going forward, this place will be my it spot. They have so much to choose from their menu and for that reason I know they will give me so many reason to keep on coming back. Soooo good!! read more

I just left Jamaican Flavors restaurant in Valley Stream. It was nicely decorated and the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Shout out to Alex for taking care of us and everyone there. The curry chicken patty's were especially good as were the barbecue. We also had the boneless jerk chicken dinner. We also bought a variety of pastries and everything was fantastic. Though we live in Manhattan, we would definitely make a trip back for the delicious food and superb service. Thanks to everyone at this establishment:) read more

This location is always hit or miss. One day the food is spectacular and the next it's below average. Especially if you're not ordering in person (using uberEats). The only thing that never disappoints are the patties, they're always a safe choice. I'd recommend the location on Farmers Blvd instead of this one. read more

Decided to give this place a try because I always see unbearable long line of people waiting. It was passed 9:30pm so the options were limited, I wanted jerk chicken, but they were out for the night. So I opted for Rasta pasta and a small oxtail with rice and peas. I am not an oxtail lover so decided to give a try. It was good, very tasty, moist and succulent. Will definitely come back to try the jerk chicken. read more

Consistent food, friendly service. Great patties & cocobread, great boneless Jerk sandwiches, good bun n cheese, good soups (somedays it needs a bit more seasoning), good oxtails and curry chicken. Bad- parking is always a problem. Frequently if I can't find parking I go to the other nearby location on 140ave read more

I eat here twice a week and sometimes twice in one day haha the food is fire, the ladies who work there are so sweet and helpful

Trying to order the food is pretty chaotic and the staff is not really trying to help. I found the food okay. A very large portion and very fresh. Sort of one note, but that is generally how I find Jamaican food. They didn't have any plantains. Ummm read more

The food is amazing, and the service is great. It's a good spot for a quick lunch or breakfast. The food is very delicious, and I love the rasta pasta; it's my go-to dish every time I'm there. The space is a little small, and it can get crowded, which sometimes means waiting outside. That could be improved. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone looking for good Caribbean-style food; you won't be disappointed. read more

One of my favorite Carribean restaurants in the area. Excellent variety of food choices On my recent trip, I had ordered Curry Goat. The curry was right spice. The beans and rice was as usual, amazing. The other offering, cabbage was great but very little. I'm a veggie person and will ask for more on future visits. read more

Food is different from other Jamaican spots - stew and jerk. The Jamaican beef patty and coco bread are good though. Place: It is a pretty small spot, no seating, just order and go. Food: - Jamaican beef patty with coco bread - exactly what I expected when I ordered it, which is a good thing. - Jerk chicken - is not the usual jerk chicken from other places, it is sweet...not a fan - Oxtail stew- sweet also...not bad though, different... read more

When I walk into a business for service I expect compassion and professional services. I'm not familiar with eating Jamaican food and decided to come in there to try it out. The person behind the counter was getting frustrated and forced her responses after I asked questions regarding their menu. Everyone should be treated equally and not be made to feel any less. Such a business that receives diversity should be more welcoming. I walked away and didn't order anything. I don't want anyone serving my food with bad energy. To the fare skinned lady with a heavy bottom, if you don't like your job don't work there. read more

This location is tiny but the service is short and sweet. The cashier was polite. It's a clean take out spot. They have a small two seater bar to dine at. Your best bet is to place your order via phone and pick up. It can get crowded rather quickly. I ordered the stewed chicken with extra veggies. I always order a large that way I have leftovers for three days. As expected the food was good. You can't go wrong with Jamaican Flavors. read more

Best Jerk in the whole borough! Yup I've said it! True Jamaican style marinated and grilled in the barrel grill. You can smell the Jerk several blocks down and follow your nose because it will not steer you wrong. The have the eight flavors down packed and none of that weirdo mustard sauce that passes as BBQ out here in NJ. Sweet or spicy or both ( my preference) The jerk is always done right. Cooked to perfection. They have some pretty awesome jerk wings too. To be honest probably some of the best jerk wings I've ever had. Their patties are another thing to rave about especially on their fresh soft and sweet coco bread. Almost neck to neck with silvers crust up the block. I don't care about the line. I will wait lol yes, it is that good! read more

When I entered the restaurant it smelled appetizing. The sweet chili salmon and peas and rice was amazing! I also got the pumpkin patty (which was great). The whiting was also good. I'll definitely visit again! read more

This is my go to Jamaican restaurant that's always serving fresh, hot food. It alwaysss has a long line, but this is the only downside to this spot. They have several portion sizes available, and lunch specials as well. The portion sizes are very generous and well worth what you pay for. My favorites are the rasta pasta (aka raggae pasta), jerk chicken, jerk chicken patty, and the curry chicken. *The jerk chicken patty is spicer than the jerk chicken in a platter. read more
