Jamaican Flavors has never failed me. Over the years, whether it was a quick single meal because I didn't feel like cooking or catering family event, the service has always been top tier. My family esp especially love that they have an economic option that serves about 8 and you can add (2) protein, a starch, a veggie and everyone gets a slice of cake and it comes with (2) large drinks. There's always so much food left over after everyone eats. Can't beat it. The space is small and accommodates about 6 customers tailgating each other to get to the counter. Once you accomplish that, it moves along pretty quickly. The workers are nice and it's seamless. The hot counter offers all your major Caribbean staples: jerk chicken (boneless and bone on) , shrimp, curry chicken, curry goat, etc. They also have about (2) soup options daily and your baked goods like beef patty and coco bread. No review would be complete without the honorable mention of the Rasta pasta which you can get with or without added options of jerk chicken or shrimp. Baybeeee, let me tell you, this plate is KING. It's like a warm hug that puts you to sleep. At checkout you can add slices of cake or your fresh juices. My go to is a refreshing cucumber ginger that just hits every time. Great food at good cost and with excellent service.
An A-OK experience at Jamaican Flavors. I had never heard of this establishment until my friend mentioned it. Apparently, it has multiple locations with great reviews. We stopped in for lunch one day and I must say I wasn't blown away. Jamaican Flavors is located in the heart of Springfield Gardens. Be mindful, parking is tough unless you take a chance and park in the mini-mall across the street. There was a line however, things moved pretty quickly. Upon first glance, they have a great menu. It features your traditional Jamaican entrees like Bar-B-fried chicken, curry goat, stew chicken, etc. They also offer varieties of freshly baked patties, desserts, and homemade juices. Moreover, they offer family meals at a great value. I decided to keep things light and purchased 2 pieces of their southern fried chicken and a beef patty. My friend decided to go for a full meal of southern fried chicken with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. We also purchased natural drinks - sorrel and carrot juice. This is a true carry-away or take out spot, meaning, there is no place to sit inside. So be prepared to purchase and go. Now let's talk about the food. The fried chicken was ok. It was seasoned nicely but it was spicy. It tasted as if they added scotch bonnet pepper into the fried chicken batter. I like spicy food and have a high tolerance for spice, but I did not like it in this case. Ultimately, I've had better fried chicken. For the beef patty, I had a spicy version. Overall, it was good. The filling was seasoned nicely and it was'nt spicy, in my opinion. My only gripe is that I wish it had a more flaky crust. Finally, the carrot juice was delicious. In fact, I would say it was very authentic to traditional Jamaican carrot juice. There was a hint of some sort of spice or aromatic added that gives it a slight difference from the traditional juice, but overall, it was tasty. In terms of service, the staff were fast and pretty friendly for the most part. Service is quick and you can purchase your food with cash or card. In terms of the menu, not all things were available. Interestingly they offer Jamaican-style boba tea however, there was none available. Thats super unique and I'm interested to try it, if I ever return. Overall, it was an ok experience. I was not thoroughly impressed by the food but it hit the spot. I would return if I were in the area, but it wouldn't go out of my way to visit nor would I immediately recommend to others.
Paid $93 for all this food. We got the meal for 6 deal it came with dessert and a soda, and I ordered myself a side of oxtails plate, everything was so delicious and well packed. This location is just a pick up and go, but the staff is helpful and kind...
The food options are really great and packed with flavor. The line was a little long, but moved fast. There is no seating as the food is takeout.
They have never disappointed me I been going here for years and have even gotten catering. Today was the latest catering I purchased and I must say the process was so smooth. I would recommend them anytime. I usually walk in to order but this time I didn't really have the time to go there to order it. I relied on their online system and I'm so happy to say it was a success. I ordered for 12p, I got there at 12:15 gave them my name & within 5 min they were out with my order packed in heavy duty bags. They get a 10/10 from me. It was the most smoothest transition and the person that brought the food out helped me to my car. Definitely check them out for catering. As far as ordering regular meals there is always a line when I go no matter when I go. But it usually goes fast. The food is good and tasty. The parking is horrible but you make it work. I started going to Jamaican Flavors as a teenager in Jamaica Ave. I used to only get their beef patties. They are still on the avenue so if you ever there go & get you some patties.
Jamaican Flavors is trying to dig more into people's pockets like unfortunately other businesses are too. For some reason when you order their pasta they add on $2 extra charge. I'm not sure why since the order includes a protein & a side order. I don't come here often & in fact haven't been in years & it will be some time before I return, if I even return. This is the same pasta from years ago, what has changed. You can still buy pasta from the supermarket for a $1.00, what's the $2.00 charge for?!?
The food that I absolutely loved was the curry chicken roti and the jerk chicken patty. The roti was fresh, light and fluffy. The curry was well seasoned the meat was very tender and it was just VERY good. Even the next day when I had to warm them up. It was still very delicious. Also good was the jerk chicken patty. You can see the chunks of meat in the patty. What I didn't enjoy as much was the curry chicken patty. That one tasted like the frozen patties you can buy from the store and warm yourself. The mean was ground yo very fine. The "filling" was MISSING and it just had no real flavor. Granted both the curry and jerk could've both been frozen instead of made fresh it's just the jerk was the better of the two flavor wise. I'll be honest I ate my patties first so I was a little hesitant about the roti but they definitely made up for it. My son ate the beef patty he said it was good but there was minimal meat/filling on the inside. The service and ambiance is exactly what you expect from a Jamaican restaurant...so if you know you know it's NOT sunshine and rainbows. I would go back for the roti.
Jamaican Flavors is a very small takeout, sometimes you may have to wait outside. The food is not bad, I've had the fish which is really good as you can see in the picture. The red pea soup with beef lacks the beef, I had two cubes of beef in a large soup with lots of provisions but, it taste good. There is no ambiance, just come in, GET IT AND GIT .
Been coming here for the better part of 10 years. Haven't been disappointed by the food ONCE! Restaurant is small, so make sure you call ahead and order
When you really want some authentic food, this is the place to come and check out in queens. I've been here about 6 or 7 times while I was in New York, wonderful authentic Jamaican style food services just beyond approach, and the restaurant it is quaint. That ambience is nice and it's a takeout. You can order a head or get there in order. Everything you want. Things are cooked to order outside the. Pastries or the beef patties that they have. Everything else is just simply great. Make sure you get out and give them a try
We came back to eat some more elsewhere when before that. Jerk chicken and rasta pasta in queens and then it was so tasty.
My friend introduced me to this place. I tried the callaloo patty and it was good. I never had anything like this before. The callaloo was well seasoned and the crust was perfectly toasted. I also tried the ackee patty. That was pretty good too.

Nice clean Jamaican food place. We went on a Saturday morning and bought some delicious food. The beef patty was very tasty. The service was fast and the food looked good in the hot baking dishes. We ordered the Jamaican chicken and also the stew chicken. The rice was nice. The rum cake had a lot of rum. read more
For potluck Xmas we decided on bringing Jamaican patties. Jamaican Flavors has cocktail patties which was recommended by friends. My GF suggested one dozen?! I got three dozen! They were out of beef already and chickpeas was not what we wanted; only chicken was available. The chicken patties were delicious! We also got a dozen coco bread. Two disappeared by the time I got home! read more

It's important to see my food being packed. It's important to see servers being clean and sanitizing their work surfaces. It's also important to take walk ins and provide service on the spot. I strongly recommend this place because ultimate amount of food for an unbelievable price. I had enough oxtail to for two days; I counted over 10 big pieces of oxtail. YEAH, I was shocked also about the 10 big pieces of tender oxtail. The service is efficient, and this place can get crowded. We all know Jamaican Flavors have patty's, but the meals are GOOD also. read more

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this! I thought it would be greasy but it wasn't at all. Lines can get long at this place with many cars double parked outside so do keep that in mind before going. Had the meal for two and the combo was tasty and affordable. Jerk Chickennnnnnnn! Mac and Cheeseeeeeeee! Will be going back for a late night meal soon. The two cake slices I got were moist and just the right portion. Blue Velvet Cake Slice Pina Colada Cake Slice read more

This location is always hit or miss. One day the food is spectacular and the next it's below average. Especially if you're not ordering in person (using uberEats). The only thing that never disappoints are the patties, they're always a safe choice. I'd recommend the location on Farmers Blvd instead of this one. read more

Decided to give this place a try because I always see unbearable long line of people waiting. It was passed 9:30pm so the options were limited, I wanted jerk chicken, but they were out for the night. So I opted for Rasta pasta and a small oxtail with rice and peas. I am not an oxtail lover so decided to give a try. It was good, very tasty, moist and succulent. Will definitely come back to try the jerk chicken. read more

This location is tiny but the service is short and sweet. The cashier was polite. It's a clean take out spot. They have a small two seater bar to dine at. Your best bet is to place your order via phone and pick up. It can get crowded rather quickly. I ordered the stewed chicken with extra veggies. I always order a large that way I have leftovers for three days. As expected the food was good. You can't go wrong with Jamaican Flavors. read more
