I can say I have come back here about 3 times in 2 weeks. Primarily most Jamaican restaurants carry maybe 2 dishes that taste well with a side of not so great customer service. However this is the complete opposite at Island Flavor, the staff is truly amazing each time I have gone there. Very welcoming and we always crack a few jokes each time. I've had the brown stew which is extremely flavorful and is not usually a go to for me but I thoroughly enjoyed it, fried chicken is not dry by any means and that's always a huge thing I look out for and finally had the Rasta pasta as it was recommended to me prior and I had a sample, the flavor was in my mouth for the next 15 mins. Keep in mind for this dish and seafood specialty dishes happen on Fridays but be sure to check them out any day as there are specials almost daily. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent lunch here. The pin drop for the Yelp directions were a bit off. We had to…read morebacktrack from them and head into the Walmart shopping center. The restaurant is located on the west side strip of stores and restaurants -- next to a Chinese restaurant. The place is airy and bright. It's pretty basic inside. There are a few four top tables and a couple two tops for dining in, although the do a lot of takeout. You order and pay at the counter. You can see your food displayed. The menu is on the wall above. You help yourself to drinks from a cooler. We both got the lunch brown stew chicken in a small size. They also have large, but the smaller one was perfect. You can choose which rice --and we both had peas n rice (rice n peas?), plus sautéed cabbage, and plantains. The chicken comes in a delicious brown gravy and I requested extra gravy on my rice. We sat in to eat -- but all meals are served in takeout containers. The chicken was fall off the bone tender. Everything was wonderful. Prices were reasonable. The staff were friendly. We will certainly return in the future. We will certainly return to

The greeting as you walk in, the ability to answer any questions asked. Something that is really unique about this location is that you are able to rent rooms if you need to host meetings or celebrate any event privately which is not something you see often in Broward. Like most places they do offer a variety of lunch specials as well as soup options featuring different one daily. I was able to have the fried chicken, curry chicken and red peas soup here and all were very tasty. The portions for the lunch specials were perfect as well. I will continue to visit this location as every experience has been positive when visiting.

From the moment I walked in, the energy was inviting and refreshing. The staff were welcoming and friendly. They made sure I had everything I needed and explained the menu well. You could tell they take pride in their food and culture. The inside of the restaurant is painted a bright, vibrant green that immediately catches your eye. It feels fresh, clean, and full of life. Kompa music plays in the background, setting the perfect mood--it honestly made me want to dance while waiting for my food! The vibe is effortlessly Caribbean, transporting you without ever leaving the city. Portions were generous, and for the flavor and quality, it's more than worth it. Great value for an authentic Caribbean experience. You won't leave hungry! I went with my go to meal , which never disappoints! * Dinde Tassot (fried turkey): Crispy on the outside, tender inside. Seasoned to perfection--savory, flavorful, and with that bold Haitian kick. * Black rice (diri djon djon): Rich, earthy, and aromatic. You can tell it's made with love and tradition. * Macaroni with cheese: Creamy, cheesy, and made just right--comfort food at its best. Not baked, but still Great. I always order extra ! * Fried plantains: Golden and sweet with a perfect crisp on the outside. * Pikliz & gravy: The pikliz added that tangy, spicy crunch that ties everything together beautifully. The gravy? Poured it on everything! Can't wait to explore more on the menu !

They have a variety of stewed meats for roti meals and sides like mashed pumpkin, potatoes, spinach and other veggies. Everything is uniquely seasoned and spiced. If you're not good with spicy foods, ask for anything with peppers to not include them. My husband ordered the stewed boneless chicken with paratha roti and pumpkin plus potatoes as sides. The roti was fresh and hot. The pumpkin was my favorite. The chicken was easy to eat and tasted good, not dry. The potatoes were soft. I got a double and it was amazing. Lots of tamarind flavor and some curry and cumin tastes. I love chickpeas and there were plenty of it stuffed inside. Gotta eat it quick or else the shell becomes soggy. I also ordered a bake and shark. First time trying it. The crispy texture of the fried fish plus the soft outer shell along with the lettuce and tomato all tasted delicious together. However, the fish was way too salty for me. After the first few bites, I couldn't eat anymore of it. My husband who has a much stronger taste palette even agreed it was on the salty side. Will definitely come back to try more items!

I really wanted to love this place, for their authentic take on Jamaican cuisine, but, for me it…read morewas just ok. The location is not in the best neighborhood, and by looks of their front door (iron bars), it very well might be an unsafe area. The restaurant inside is clean, I'll give them that. Tables and floors were well kept and wiped down after guests left. There were a couple ladies behind the counter who were friendly and gave us some time to review the menu. Jason and I both ordered the same thing, goat curry (curry goat) with rice and peas and it came side a small side of steamed cabbage and a few sweet plantains as well. We took our food to go and all the way home it smelled go good! Immediately when I opened the container I knew right away, it was going to be a hit or miss (for me). The color or the goat was very yellow, which means, this curry was more turmeric than actual curry power. Being from the Caribbean, you know the difference between the 2 things.... Nevertheless, we ate, and we both liked the food, it was not something that I felt like I could not stop eating, nor thought 'wow I can't wait to go back'. The meat of the goat was tender for sure. The flavors that I'm familiar with, were not there. And I understand that this might be the restaurant's way of cooking, and their style, and that's totally ok, it's just for me this was not one of my favorite Jamaican spots.

Everything tasted great. The chicken was crispy, the rice and peas were well seasoned, and the oxtail gravy brought everything together perfectly. The plantains were a standout, sweet like candy and cooked just right. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. However, the ambiance felt more like a hole in the wall spot rather than a polished dining environment. That being said, the quality and flavor of the food definitely make up for it. Overall, it's a great place to grab authentic, delicious Jamaican food, and I'd definitely come back again.

Not sure we got it on an off night or what but honestly I was a bit disappointed. This order totaled 85.00. We ordered the Barbi Fried Chicken w/ rice and peas. The sauce was overly sweet and the rice and peas a little under seasoned. We ordered the chicken and pasta. Was expecting sweet peppers and cheese and sauce. However it came with some tomato on top. The flavor of the chicken had potential but the chicken itself was tough and stringy. Last we ordered the Mac and cheese. Now this was an 8/10 inch e enjoyed the Mac and cheese it had the right amount out of sweet and spicy.

My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.
