    Soul rolls
    Paula J.

    This is a hidden gem, service is great, Joshua D was very warm attentive and professional. The restaurant was clean and had a relaxed vibe. The food is really good! For our apps we had the Rasta fries, Soul rolls and Caribbean street corn, all were served hot, perfectly seasoned with loads of flavor! For our entrees we had the Chicken and waffles with hot honey sauce, pan seared salmon, Fried whole wings with Mac and cheese, collard greens and potatoe salad, everything was delicious and flavorful and nicely presented. My only negative was my cocktails, I initially ordered the rum punch, it was so strong on the rum, there was no flavor, it was beautifully presented though. Joshua D was happy to change it but sadly it's replacement which was Bacardi gold and pineapple juice was not any better, still way to strong. This does not take this great restaurant off my list though. I will be back.

    On Sunday, April 19th, I gathered a group of eight to celebrate my son's 29th birthday. From the moment we arrived, we had a wonderful experience. We were warmly greeted by a lovely young lady at the bar, followed by a friendly and professional hostess who asked us to wait briefly while she prepared our table. Once seated, we were taken care of by our waiter, Jay, who truly made the evening exceptional. His attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine effort to ensure everyone was comfortable did not go unnoticed. He handled our drink, appetizer, and meal orders seamlessly and was always available for any questions. The food itself was outstanding--both the quality and portion sizes exceeded our expectations. To top it all off, Jay went the extra mile by informing the DJ about my son's birthday. The staff joined in the celebration, and my son was treated to a special birthday moment along with a piece of cake. For all of these reasons, I highly recommend **Blended Flavors Restaurant & Bar**. Thank you for making my son's birthday so memorable. Alicia Leroy

    Whiting Fish Dinner

    No parking lot. Good service although I asked for water before I ordered my meal and received it at the end. I would get take*out moving forward.

    Rasta Pasta with fried catfish

    Hubby and I have been here before and enjoyed ourselves. So we decided to go again for a last minute date night. Vibe was nice with music we love. Service was on point, we were helped almost immediately and checked on frequently. For an app we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp. The sauce was tasty. Hubby got the Rasta pasta with catfish. The catfish was soooo good. Fried just the way we like it and it had this sweet glaze that added extra flavor. I got the Rasta pasta as well and loved it. It could've been a little bit spicer for me but it was full of flavor. We'll definitely be back again.

    Jerk Chicken dinner with Turkey Collard Greens &  Macaroni & Cheese

    We came here on a date and the service was great. We ordered drinks, strawberry mojito and a glass of cabernet wine. We ordered the wingettes with the carolina bbq sauce, it was amazing. The chicken was so crispy. I ordered the jerk chicken and it came with rice and two sides. I got the collard greens and mac & cheese. They were both really really good but I wish I got the yams. My boyfriend got the oxtail meal that also came with rice and two sides. He got the collard greens and mac & cheese as well. and for dessert, we both got the chocolate and caramel churros. I wanted the banana one but next time I will try that. The ambiance is very cute inside slightly small and a little chilly so dress warm in the winter.

    Turkey wings are a 10 String beans are a 10 The Mac is a 7.5 The ox tails & Mac (which seems like a different kind of Mac btw) is a 8.5 Rice is a 5.. flavorful but not done all da way Greens were a 7 Whiting was good, 7 The banana pudding was probably da weakest cuz da pudding was like a gelatin type texture Service was cool and has a nice lil ambiance. I'd def return and suggest to others!

    Blended Flavors food was good, the portions were smaller than other southern spots I've gone to. They give you decent choices as sides which are great staples for a southern spot. Parking was off street on a busy road, but I was lucky to get something nearby. I would return for the fish and the turkey wings which were flavorful. Young wings and not the big ones, you get three for the price. No corn bread which was a bit sad.

    The food was amazing. They should have the option to add corn bread to a meal for an up charge

    Fried shrimp and chicken platter
    Elaine D.

    I got the takeout shrimp and chicken platter. The shrimp were great and so was the mac and cheese. I'd love to go back and try the turkey wings and stay and have a drink. The martinis looked great.

    Oxtails - the person who ordered commented delish.

    Food is amazing. Music amazing. Ambiance cute. Parking can be a challenge since the location is at 628 W St. George Ave Linden Nj. There is decent parking on residential side streets.

    This restaurant was recommended, so I went to try the Whiting fish sandwich and skillet cornbread. I did enjoy the fish although for my taste I would have liked a bit more flavor from the fry batter ,and crispy. As for the cornbread it was good just a little hard on the top although the inside was moist. People dine in or take out to experience quality food and service overall. Would I return yes ,and recommend too others to enjoy the experience.

    Mac & cheese, Yams and fried whiting entree.

They've been open roughly 6 months, so I do not feel like I've been missing out for too long. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, and thankfully not a long wait. I ordered the curry chicken w/cabbage and rice & peas. The curry was flavorful and finger-licking good, falling off of the bone; although some of my peas were rock hard but other than that the rice & peas were delicious, too. The cabbage was sooo good!!! I could have used a tad more, but I chocked that up to personal preference - i LOVE cabbage! I guess I was so mesmerized by the inviting aroma that I forgot to take a picture of my food (which usually never happens), but take my word... the container was empty. The menu has plenty to offer and I am looking forward to trying the jerk chicken next time - which is made on the grill (not the oven). I also loved the decor and art on the walls. Great food and the service is what won me over completely. While waiting for my order, I met the cook and chatted with the owner, Maxine, who is extremely personable and polite. I could have talked to her about quality food and quality customer service all day. It's nice to converse with owners of establishments who just 'get it'. The professionalism here is on point. And make no mistake about it, she reads all reviews and takes all feedback into consideration. There's also a very nice outdoor space with seating and live music. I will definitely be back! 5 stars earned and well-deserved!

The restarant is bright, colourful and clean and cozy. There's good seating here also for a big family. Definitely my go to spot when I'm in need of some good hearty food.

I stood there for 5 minutes before a lady from the back waved as if she'll be out shortly . After standing there 15 more minutes, I tapped the bell on the counter . She came out a few minutes later . I ordered my usual which is curry chicken ,rice and plantains. As I waited, waited and waited I noticed how hot is was in the restaurant. I began to perspire . Clearly there weren't any AC on. A customer arrived and based on his conversation with a gentlemen that came in later ( appear to be one of the owners) he's a regular. He asked for some cake and the employee/ owner told him they were out of cake. The customer proceeded to tell him he comes in every week and there's never any cake. The employee/owner said he'd get it next time . He seemed very nonchalant about the fact his customer is loyal and he never makes sure the cake is available. Keep in mind I'm still waiting on my food . It's been over 30 minutes waiting in this hot box. After about an hour wait the food was finally ready . No one never said how long it would be. Nor did anyone apologize for the wait or offer any drinks since it was actually hotter inside than outside. The food was packed tightly in a black tray with a clear lid. It was so packed I had to eat it over a big towel in my hotel room to prevent spillage on the bed. After the long hot wait, without any water , the food was bland. I didn't realize that salad had been squeezed inside the plate as well. I will never return . It's too hot there and the wait is too long . Especially since I was the only person in line . I gave them 2 stars because I was given a sufficient amount of food. Although I really think the plate was too small for that much food.

There was one man waiting for his order. 1st red flag. The place was dark and dingy looking, 2nd red flag. We ordered real basic 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and peas, my husband ordered 1/2 chicken with yellow rice and red beans. The chicken was so hard and dry that I almost choked swallowing it! It had no taste and neither did the beans and rice. They were dry as well, rice was overly sticky, nothing 'traditional' about the food. I may not be latino but I have eaten enough Latin dishes to know what's traditional and what's not, and this place IS NOT. Don't bother going here if you want, at the least, good tasting, authentic Dominican food that is prepared well!

It was easy to find parking nearby on the street, we walked in and were immediately sat down. Service was great throughout the meal. The server did speak primarily to us in Creole.
