We ordered take out at work via door dash. Food arrived well packaged. Servings were very large. The jerk was pretty good sweet at first with a kick at the end. Salmon was cooked decently. The Alfredo portion was very large, I got full after a few bites lol. Decently seasoned. Would try some other things on this menu. My coworkers raved about the Cow\chicken foot soup. read more

This is a walk-in, carry out joint, so forget ambiance. The people are direct, know they're serving good food, and need to keep it moving so they don't fall behind. I had the jerk chicken, plantains, and rice and peas with the hibiscus juice. My nephew had curry chicken, plantains, and cabbage. Everything was outstanding. Like I alluded to before, this place ain't fancy; the strip mall isn't pretty either. But if you're about the food, it's worth making the run. read more

Go inside and order from the counter. Get your respect up before you order and things will go well. They serve plentiful portions that could feed you for two days and the food is good all around the board. I've had the brown stew, jerk, and curry chicken. All wonderful, I've also had the curry chickpeas which are good as well. The general price range is 15$+. I can afford it every once in a while and when I do I enjoy it. Best Jamaican in Charlotte. read more

Island Flavors - Brown Stew Chicken Mac and Cheese - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Food was really good overall. The flavors were on point and tasted authentic. The rice and peas and mac & cheese were really good, and the meat was seasoned well. Portions were a good size and definitely filling. Service was pretty quick and the food came out hot. Only reason not a full 10/10 was I wish the sides had a little more seasoning, but overall I would definitely go back. Casual, small spot with a laid-back Caribbean takeout vibe. Not fancy but comfortable if you want good food and quick service. read more

I wanted to give this place a 2nd chance. But was just disappointed. Via Uber eats, I ordered in the morning for delivery. Ordered the Saltfish with plantains and fried dumplings. Plantain were burnt to a crisp and Saltfish was a little too salty for my liking. It spilled all in the bag. Also ordered the combo oxtails with curry chicken and was supposed to have curry gravy but was given oxtails gravy that was a little over powering as I thought it would be. The saving grace is that the oxtails were good. I'll just consider it a wrap for this place. read more

The food is awesome I love this place. I would recommend it to everyone. Don't miss out o the Island Flavors

This was my favorite Jamaican restaurant in Charlotte. Flavorful food and great portions. The shrimp curry is my favorite fish but my friends rave about the jerk salmon and yams. There's usually a reasonable wait time as well (iykyk). There's a small parking lot to accommodate pickups. read more

Service from the cashier---Outstanding Ambiance---- Sweet Food--- first I was craving Ackee and Saltfish but the portion size for $17, not worth it. Calaloo plate was full to the T, but just a little salty. read more

Ordered from Uber eats and I love that it arrived hot and tasty. Finding quality delivered food is hard these days. I love when restaurants take pride in their take-away meals!!!!! The pepper steak wasn't tough and tasty. The Mac & cheese was cheesy and good. The beef patty is like most beef patties lol. They all need some more beef. The cocobread was soft. Thank goodness. read more

Island Flavors - Pepper Steak Mac & Cheese Beef Patty Coco Bread - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was in the area and this was a quick find. Outside was a bit sketchy, lots of lingering characters. I ordered the brown stew chicken, white rice and Mac n cheese. I simply didn't like it. I didn't finish the Mac n cheese at all, the chicken was super tender, which I appreciated but it was just missing something. I can't put my finger on it. It just wasn't hitting like I was expecting. Service was ok. I didn't expect much at all. They greeted me and left it at that. read more

Good food. I loved the plantains and rice and peas! The curry chicken was good. Be prepared to wait if you don't order in advance. It was worth the wait. read more

I ordered delivery from DoorDash, had a taste for some good Caribbean food and after reading reviews I decided on them. I was pleasantly surprised to see jerk lamb chops as a meat option, I've never seen that on any Caribbean restaurant menu here. , I love me some lamb chops. So I decided on those. And man oh man did they not disappoint! So flavorful, juicy and they gave me a big portion. I'll definitely order from here again. read more

Island Flavors - Large Oxtail - Seafood Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Nothing but chickens running around with their heads cut off. Absolutely no organization. You place an order and wait 20-30 minutes.

New to Concord. Closer to my home than other Caribbean spots. Enjoyed oxtails!! Good service. Will go back soon.

I really like this place. First, when I walked in I got a good ole fashioned, "Hello!!" This told me service was going to be good. I ordered the large oxtail entree with peas and rice with cabbage. I also got the in-house hibiscus juice. I really enjoyed my meal. Everything was really tasty and my oxtails were tender and meaty. Portion sizes were also good so it made me feel good about the money I spent. I've been looking for another caribbean spot to add to my list and I think I found one. This place has been open for about 3 months and recommend you give them a try. read more

Called over phone to order food. Person who took order offered good customer service. The food was also good, my family enjoyed. I would definitely try them again. We had, stewed chicken, curry chicken and curried shrimp all with white rice! read more

Great food, jerk chicken is good though my favorite is the oxtail. Love the plantains & the rice is perfectly seasoned. Haven't tried a lot of other items but this place is great. read more

The family decided to place an order, Escovich fish, curry chicken, curry goat & a veggie plate. Every meal, even the rice & beans was spicy (too much hot pepper takes away from the authentic seasonings). I ordered the goat and it was tuff on top of being way too spicy. I couldn't even eat it. Honestly....if they toned down on the hot pepper (cook the goat longer), the food would have been pretty decent compared to the few other carribean restaurants, I've tried in Charlotte. read more

This place a tight spot to get into. But I'm a fan of how tender the curry goat is with the rice a peas!

Amazing food, flavorful, great portions. Had oxtail, brown stew chicken and patties. Everything was so good!

The ackee and salt fish was fantastic. Well-seasoned with a good amount of spice. The rice and peas and plantain were also solid.

Great food. Good price and very generous servings. My coworker who is Jamaican likes it.

Tried the curry shrimp roti with a side of Mac. The curry flavors were seeming more trini/Guyanese than Jamaican but very good. The roti was actually more like Dahl puri... The woman who answered the phone provided gray customer service and the food was ready shortly after I arrived. overall I would come again read more

Where to start? Wanted to try a Caribbean spot near my home and decided to give this place a try. It's basically carry out only even though they do have 2 pub tables where people can sit. The lady behind the counter was pleasant but she kept sneezing and was fixing orders with no gloves! The food? Flavorful but not worth the price. I ordered large oxtails and there was little meat on the pieces I had at all. For 20+ dollars you want what you pay for! The rice and peas were decent. The Mac and cheese was also good, but burned on the top. So even though it looked like a hearty portion it was a lot smaller when you consider all you couldn't eat. I had cabbage that had peas, green beans and carrots as well. But I wanted cabbage. It looked nice but the cabbage was bland. Also ordered lemon pepper wings that again were flavorful but the skin was soggy and the chicken was under cooked. I probably would not go back here again. There are plenty of Carribean spots I've had in the city that are much better. read more
