The wait was 45 min which was fine thats how we Jamaican serve food, thats how we put the love into it and the portions was extremely small for a jamaican restaurant Im use to big portions thats filled to the top and spilling out where you have to staple the damn plate together. If Im going to spend $15.00 a damn plate for kid size portions then that slop should be a $5.00 plate! .. Im very disappointed in how my jerk chicken was not even a damn quarter leg, but a chopped up small piece of one chicken leg, it had some sweet bbq sauce that was okay but it could have been better expecting that they are real jamaicans right?.. Being that I am full blooded jamaican and I lived in New York with the best cooks & my family owns restaurants there , so I know how it supposed to taste & look and what size portions you should serve your customers!... Straight up crooks and the curry chicken was like curry soup...Yuck!.. You people need to stop robbing people with those little ass portions and high ass prices because your food is nasty and you lost me as your damn customer.. And you caught me on my pamper myself day thats the only reason I went out to eat. I should open up a restaurant and put you out of business.."Yes I cook from scratch and my food taste like a true Jamaican !!!

Id give them a no stars if Id could. So we are a mixed couple Im from Puerto Rico and my husband is African American. Owners at this restaurant are racist asf. They do not accept mixed couples nor do they like Spanish people, they came highly recommended but they were rude as fudge. We only ordered one plate, and didnt try it till we got halfway home. The food the chicken and the rice was pretty damn amazing. But they still discriminate and theyre complete assholes. You should have seen the look of disgust on his face when we walked in and sat ourselves down in the restaurant. The only reason I didnt tell him to fudge off was because they came highly recommended from somebody I respected. Otherwise I would have told them to eat a plantain. Also they microwave their damn food anyways. So if youre looking for microwave Jamaican food thats the place to go.

My husband and I came one evening looking forward to authentic Jamaican food. The staff was friendly and we were excited to try the food. I ordered the spicy jerk chicken and my husband ordered the curry chicken. Unfortunately, the jerk chicken was covered in a sauce that tasted like bbq sauce. I was very disappointed because I have had Jerk chicken before ans this was nothing like what Ive had typically it is seasoned with a rub of herbs and spices. This was covered in sauce. The curry chicken was good but it had a lot of bones. The rice and peas were great but the plantains were not as ripe as they could have been. Overall this will be the first and last time I will be patronizing this restaurant.

My family and I visited this establishment after a long day of driving. The employee behind the counter was very rude and unprofessional. We ordered items off the menu and were told they are not serving the items we ordered because they have a cut off time even though the restaurant was not scheduled to close for another hour and a half. Also the price in the restaurant are a few dollars higher than what is listed online. So if you want rude customer service and inflated prices this is the place for you.

Stopped in today for some Curry chicken and oxtail but been coming here for years and the food is on point. They serve many different dishes and you have the ability to eat there or take with you. You can call ahead to order food or just walk in to place order. The staff is always friendly and greets you as soon you walk in the door. Also, the wait there is very fast. I truly recommend and if you like fish. They are having a fish fry the 30th of this month and starts after 11am.....

The oxtail with rice and peas was really good. The best I have had since I have been in Colorado. The other review I read about the portion being smaller than normal is pretty accurate though, because in New York and Florida, for the price they charge you get a lot more food... even some more rice would be nice. The only other complaint I could think of is the oxtail had little shards of bone in it, like it was actually tenderized and had bones in the meat.

A friend and I went to Jamaican Flavor for lunch. We each had different dishes, the chicken jerk and the pork jerk with a side of rice and beans. They were both absolutely delicious and full of flavor. We were curious about the oxtail and the owner was kind enough to give us a sample. That will be our next meal. The smells were intoxicating and the restaurant was cozy. Though not a prepared item, the Jamaican sodas were delicious as well.

First time at resturant. I was on vaction and got the itch for a Jamaican meal. This place was very clean and they all are very friendly. The jerk chicken had the right spice and the beef patties are made just right. Only thing that wasnt that good was the rice, it was very dry and had no taste. All food is made to order so it is best to call ahead. But I was extremely satisfied.

So I recently decided to go to Jamaican flavor and I just cant get over the fact that they warm up food in the microwave. The cook handed me a business card so I could call it in next time but what would be the point in calling it in if they microwave The food anyway. So basically I paid for food that wasnt fresh I will not return . sadly to say I dont know how yall returned....

After my first bite of the curried goat, all I could say was "Oh my god." It was one of the best dishes I have ever had in my life! The spices were seasoned perfectly and it was tremendously tender. I wanted to order everything they had on the menu. Stop by if you want one of the best meals of your life, its worth the long drive to get. Truely an experience.

My dad is from Jamaica, and this food is the real deal. I had the oxtail lunch special with rice and peas and plantains. Everything was spot on. Scrumptious. My friend had the curry chicken and loved it. The prices are fair. Good service, despite being a bit slow, since they only had two workers. Definitely recommend for an authentic Jamaican experience.
