I loooove this place! It's so hard to find Haitian food in Los Angeles, let alone GOOD Hatian food…read moreand Island Flavors is definitely that spot. I've been here plenty of times now and love the staff as well as the party vibe ambiance especially when watching Haiti compete in the World Cup. I have ordered multiple dishes here and everything is delicious! I've had the Griot, Oxtail, Tasso Kabrit, Pate, Bannan Cups, Djon Djon Rice (black mushroom rice), Sweet Plantains, Bannan Peze (pressed plantains) and Passion fruit juice...basically the whole menu lol. Oh and can't forget my fave the pikliz!!! I haven't been to Haiti, but the owners are from there and brought their unique spices and flavors to Los Angeles. Whether I'm getting take-out or dining in, this food definitely hits the spot!

I got an oxtail plate, with djon djon & bannan peze. It also came with a little bit of salade russe (Haitian potato salad), pikliz, and sauce. The diri djon djon was so flavorful, definitely my favorite thing on the plate. The oxtail was seasoned well and pretty tender. The pikliz was good, pretty mild so I could enjoy it all. I tried some griot and thought it could have marinated longer. The portions felt very huge. The service here is really friendly and accommodating. The food came put after not too long of a wait and it was hot. The space is cool. It looks like an old diner. There's konpa playing in the background and games like Uno & Dominos available if you want to play. We also got two Haitian beef patties to go. They're legit! Came with pikliz and another sauce I never had before, it was green with a bit of spice and tang. The main downside is the location. It was fine in the daytime, but at night I wouldn't want to be alone as a woman here. That's just me though. Parking is metered on the street ($6/hr)

First let me start my saying I was very eager to try a Haitian meal from this place. My husband…read moreplaced multiple orders.He went to pick up the meal and was told the food would be ready at 12:15. He then was asked to wait another 20 mins which he was ok with because good food takes time to make. After waiting he was then told that the meals would have to be cancelled. He insisted that he would wait because he had already invested his time... only for the smallest serving of griot and white rice with subpar flavor. Save your self the trip this place is not worth it.

I ordered takeout online. I got the oxtail; it was succulent and juicy. I got plantains (nice and…read moresweet!) and greens. The plate worked so well with the rice and beans. I also got the jerk chicken. I wasn't a fan of the spices (too spicy) and the chicken was dry. I wish the chicken was on the bone. Lastly, I tried the beef patty. The crust could have been flakier but the beef was well-spiced and worked with the spicy but fruity hot sauce. Jamaican/Carribbean food is very hard to come by in CA, so I would certainly do another takeout for this special food.

The Original Coley's is original, thoughtful and enjoyable…read more This truly authentic Caribbean Soul Food spot brings Jamaican cuisine with a flavor rich unique twist that all much try. They have curry, stew, jerk things and good portions in plate form. Loads of vegan and vegetarian options including Callaloo, Ackee, Jerk Veggies, Veggie Patties, Plantains, Rice, Peas and refreshments in bottle form. The Ackee and Callaloo Plate is one of my favorites. The vibes inside are mellow yet very warm and the service is excellent though I mainly do delivery/takeout. If dining in you can enjoy their homey touches, greenery, art and flatscreen TV. They have some pantry items such as sauces, seasonings, crackers, etc as well as desserts. It's tucked away in a small plaza off Burbank Blvd/Hazeltine Avenue with a small yet spacious lot that's rarely full. Street parking is plentiful though I can actually walk here (only a mile from home). Restrooms are gender neutral, always clean. Good spot to enjoy solo or with a small group. My friends in Van Nuys enjoy this place often, and we're all the same distance. Enjoy this awesome Valley must!

I experienced excellent customer service, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss for me…read more Starting with the highlights, the Jamaican beef patties were fire. I honestly wish I had ordered more than two. The fresh juices were also a standout; the Pineapple Ginger and Hibiscus were both spot on. Even the imported ginger beer from Kingston was really good. The jerk wings were absolutely delicious, and those small bread rolls (similar to cornbread muffins) were super tasty. The peas and rice and the plantains were also on point. Now for the downsides, the oxtails were disappointing. They weren't very meaty, and at $35 a plate, I expected more than mostly bones. I did get one decent piece, but overall it didn't feel worth the price. The vegetables were also bland. Dessert was another letdown. The sweet potato pie wasn't sweet enough and had an overpowering nutmeg flavor. The cobbler was undercooked, the crust was raw and inedible, and the peaches tasted like they came straight from a can. Overall, a mixed experience, but I'd still come back for the patties, wings, and fresh juices.

Delivery order included the oxtail platter, beef patties, and jerk chicken. Oxtail Platter: The oxtail was perfectly tender and juicy....and yes, got in the bones! The platter included steamed cabbage and vegetables with the bonnet peppers adding an extra kick to the flavors. I was surprised that the rice and peas were not mushy based on other spots I've ordered from so was pleasantly surprised. Beef Patties: Believe homemade and definitely not a Gold Krust type (IYKYK) of pastry aka not dry. Beef was juicy and the pastry was flaky with crunch and retained the flavors. Jerk Chicken: Chicken was tender and meat fell off the bone. The platter also included the rice and peas (red beans). Each platter included festival bread which helped to sop the juices. Hands down, the best Jamaican restaurant in the area based on my previous experiences.
