I walked in right before closing time and no I don't make that a habit! The steam trays were all cleared out and they were wiping down the tables but they were able to accommodate me. I just wanted something for takeout. I got the large griot plate with diri kole and potato salad. It's one of the better ones in the area. The potato salad I mean and it's usually not available so I was happy to get it. Griot is best served fresh from the fryer. It doesn't lend itself to sitting around. At times it can be dry so it really depends on when you come here but it tastes great regardless. They have a signature label passionfruit juice and limeade which I haven't tried yet, but it looks popular. Edited to add: They ended up frying a fresh batch for me! Yum! read more

Slightly intimidating to order if you can't speak Kreole but I got the job done. The menu was clear with the items and prices. You could see most of the food before making a purchase. I ordered Lalo with crab and a little beef, Diri Kole, Potato salad and plantains. The food was good. The I've had better Lalo at elsewhere. I would try the Legume here next time. read more

Rice and beans were good as well as the potato salad. The griot lacked flavor and the fatty pieces had a bad after taste.

Although I order primarily from this place on Uber Eats; I've visited a few times . They get a lot action, my go to is the stew chicken with rice and peas with plantains and macaroni salad. Never disappoints, if you're unfamiliar with Haitian cuisine don't be. The food is well seasoned and they'll help you if you're overwhelmed. It's a lot to take in first visit. Try it out. You can eat in there, but I rather take mines home! read more

Good food, terrible service. They treat customers like an inconvenience. Plenty of Haitian restaurants in Brooklyn to choose from, this place is nothing special. read more

I had better Haitian food, better service and better ambience at better prices. I will not be returning here.

I had got the beef Tassot dinner and the meat was old you can tell it was not fresh atleast a couple of days old .

Yes yes yes. Now I'm a little ashamed to admit how long it took me to finally try Haitian food being that I'm Dominican and we literally come from the same place but hey better late than never right? There are actually quite a few restaurants around me but unfortunately almost all of them lack reviews on Yelp and Google. When it comes to ordering food delivery, that's something that will deter me from ordering. Only because I didn't grow up in this part of Brooklyn so if I haven't seen the place in person, I tend to get worrisome. Trust me, I know that some of the best places to eat are the little hole in the wall spots and some of my favorite places to eat fit that description but I have to personally know the place and have been there to trust it. Anyway, I was really craving Caribbean cuisine and went with this location because it had great customer reviews on Doordash. I ordered the Griot with rice and beans in the large size. It came so quick and piping hot. I guess when you order the large they send the meat and rice separately? Don't quote me on that. The rice came in a huge aluminum container and was more than enough to feed 2-4 people. The meat however came in the regular round aluminum container. This is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I ordered the large in order to have leftovers. I had PLENTY of rice left, however because the griot also came with three tostones (fried plantains) and lots of onions all packed in a smaller container, it was not a full serving of meat. It was fricking delicious but they sent me all that rice and a side of potato salad (not sure if that was a mistake or complimentary) to eat with a small amount of meat in comparison. It should be the same size. Yelp won't let me upload the video so a screenshot will have to do. Let's get into the flavor though. That griot was *chefs kiss* and I knew it would be because of where we come from hello. Our cooking methods are literally the same and that pork wasp tender yet had a beautiful color to it from being fried after stewing. There were a few pieces that had fat on them that made my whole day. Pickled onions balanced the fattiness right out. The pikliz was so refreshing and just the right amount of spice to pair with the tostones. The free potato salad was also really good and I'm reaaaaalllly picky about that. The rice was a tad bit underwhelming in terms of flavor on its own but paired with the meat it was great. All in all, a solid Haitian restaurant and I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

Kreyol Flavor Flatbush - Griot (Fried Pork) This is the amount that comes in the Large portion. Rice came separately in a bigger container. - Haitian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Rude. Period. Do not acknowledge that I client comes in and say "Good Morning". You tell them what you need and they just give you the food while on the phone. Then tell you how much, pay and leave because it seems that you bother them. You serving the public that bring you income, that's why you are open. You are not a people person? Change job! Don't ask yourself why people are not coming in anymore. Soup was full of pepper almost un-eatable. read more

I went around 2 pm. I'm not sure if the food has just been sitting on the heaters a long time because I came past lunch but it was not good. The rice was kinda hard, like it had been reheated too many times. The meat was so dry. Even the dark meat chicken. It was hard to Chew. Flavor was ok. read more

I had been looking for some good Haitian food for a while now so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered a large oxtail, a large stew chicken, a morue (salt fish) patty and a chicken patty. The total was $30. The food was just okay. The large entrees come with so much rice a 2 pieces of green plantain. The stew chicken was okay. The broth was the most exciting part about it. I excepted the stewed chicken to be juicy, but instead the chicken was hard and dry. The oxtail was good. There were substantial pieces of oxtail meat throughout the dish. The fish patty was also good. The chicken patty was a little dry. The service was super slow but the woman who served me was really friendly. read more

Better than average Haitian food. The food is served hot and fresh. They have many choices to choose from. They also have different salad choices. Sunday the food runs out quick, make sure to call ahead if your in a rush. read more

Was pleasantly surprised by takeout from here. The fried turkey, legume stewed vegetables, and the fritaille tassot platter I would all order again. Fried turkey tricked everyone, nobody believed it was turkey. Legume-Stewed vegetables doesn't sound like much, but had so much flavor. The Fritaille platter had fun surprises like plantains, sausages, and those spicy red onions. Our order wasn't ready on time but we still really enjoyed the meal. read more

The customer service was awful. The people are rude and took orders from 5 before me. But the food was great!

this place has clean food and great taste for cheep this is the best spot in Flatbush

DO NOT BOTHER. A friend recommended this restaurant about a year ago and I trusted their judgment blindly. I enjoyed the food, even though its grossly overpriced. The customer service is usually flat or just bad. Ok, there were a couple occasions where the service was decent. Never stellar, really good or great. I recommend Kreyole Flavor to a friend who asked me if i hated her lol. She then asked what I thought of the reviews. I had to admit, I never read them, so I did. They're pretty accurate. Unfortunately the quality of the food is not good anymore and the prices keep going up. So, bad service, highest prices in the area and now the food isn't as good. No good reason to go back. Oh and did I forget... 5 out of eight times, yes, I counted, the owner (the older miserable lady who sits at the register or off to the side) argues ruthlessly with patrons. Almost as if you're at her home and she's doing the customers a favor. read more

I wanted to support a local Haitian restaurant but unfortunately this spot is just Horrible. Customer service is horrible. The fat old lady is the worst. She is the rudest one in there. The people can't remember what goes on you bag or order even if there is ONLY TWO GUEST ORDERING. They left out two other items that I ordered with my meal. When I got home I called to let them know that the items were missing I only got a rude lady on the phone upset with me! To be honest the food ain't that good for them to be acting this way... if I could give zero stars I would -10 all across for me. read more

They don't speak english which make it pretty hard to order, them being rude doesn't help either. The food is expensive.. 11$ for a dish I can get for 6$ down the street, food is subpar at the best (in comparison to the other places on that street). read more

Prices of there food have gone up tremendously and the food portions don't compensate the price!

I have never been so disappointed in doing business with my own people. I live in NJ. I have gone to that place twice to buy food. I can say the food is good but the customer service is bad. I met 2 cashiers who probably are blood related, maybe mother and daughter. I feel that my presence in the store was bad news to those people just because I requested a food that I ordered on the phone. If we want to be competitive we need to develop our customer service skills. No hate. I love you all. Just change your way to deal with customers. read more

The food is really good! But... Natasha is an employee that is very rude. They should keep her in the back because customer service is not her strong suit. She got upset because I asked to buy extra pikleze. Fortunately for her there was a young lady working with her who tried to turn the service around. Although it was clearly apparent that young lady was fustrated with her teammate lack of help, she was able to assist me. This occurred one month ago read more

I love food, which should be evident based on my many food based reiews. This place is amazing. I told the girl ordering that I am new to Haitian cuisine and to surprise me and she delivered. The chicken and rice was A-MAAAA-ING. She laughed when I compliments the restaurant. Clean and the place to go for good food. Try this place! read more

THE rudest and worst service in a restaurant. The staff at the counter act as if you are bothering them even at the moment you approach them to place your order. I have been going there for years. I have tolerated the servers' brash communication style and excused the rude responses because it is a very busy restaurant, the food is consistently good and because I live 2 hours away and don't want to go home and be disappointed with my and families food. Yesterday, was definitely the worst encounter I have experienced. When I entered the restaurant there were only 3 other customers ahead of me, but they looked like they had being waiting there a while. I wanted to be sure they had the food that I wanted before I stood around and they wouldn't have it. I went and asked if they had my food choice and she told me yes and then said I had to stand on line (of course) I explained that I just wanted to be sure. When it was my turn to order another person was helping me and she gestured to me and stood there without saying anything and waited for me to tell her my order. I gave her my order and she was immediately annoyed in her response. They had music on loud, we both had on a mask and I told her I couldn't hear and she obviously couldn't hear me but she didn't seem to care. I repeated my order and told her I also wanted another item and with an attitude said they didn't have it and immediately went to the back to get my first order. I had to ask for my orders in 3 separate conversations with two different people because they were so short and curt in there mannerism. There is no excuse for this consistently rude behavior other than the fact that their customers have tolerated it for years. They have no sense of how to be courteous to their customers. I spent over 30 minutes in the store and will not be rewarding this type of behavior anymore with my time and my hard earned money. They don't answer their phones when you try to call ahead and no matter how many people they have behind the counters, usually 3 or more, there is a long wait and you are guaranteed to get plenty of attitude. read more

Pros: Food was very good. You get a lot for a good price. Me and my son shared a dinner and still had left overs. My daughter also ordered and for both dinners I paid like $22. They have a really good passion fruit punch too! Place is clean, comfortable and they had a nice vibe of music. Cons: The ladies that work there are unapprochable. I was with a hatian friend so I asked him to order for me because I felt like I was a bother to them and they were kinder to him. I had to walk to the gas station up the block for an atm after nastily being told "cash only" I would go back but most likely just to grab food to go. read more

Passed this spot many times and finally last friday at 9 decided to stop in. I was in the mood for some Griot --fried pork & fried plantain. Very nice atmosphere, more upscale sit down Haitian spot, staff very professional, had a nice little line--always a good sign I ended up ordering Tasso (turkey meat I think--and fried plantain. Excellent..not too greasy, flavorful, and good portion. I'm def coming back to try their oxtail, I heard other customers on line ordering it so I'll prolly re-review this spot again. read more

Holy smokes the food is fabulous. We have been here a few times and it seems to get better each visit. Order at the counter and food is delivered to your table. Dining is not fancy... But the food is over the top delish! Although ! I always want to try something new I continue to go right back to the oxtails and my guy always gets the griot. The rice and peas is heaven on earth....not to mention the fresh sides potatoe, macaroni and tossed salad with beets are consistently fresh and tasty. Outside of one visit I had an up ripen tomato. The service is slowwwwwww- but def worth the wait. Prices are fair $12-$14 For a large plate with the exception of lumbi which is $20.00 a real Haitian delicacy and also said to be a major aphrodisiac. Here's the insiders tip. If you're dining in still order your food to go . The takeout portions are almost double in size. I was offered this info by several regulars and it's true, plenty to take home. When I asked the young lady in charge why are the portions so different in size, she said our dine in plates are small. Overall excellent food, very clean, fair prices and attentive staff. If you're in the area or are in search of good Haitian food Kreyol Flavor will not disappoint. Enjoy. read more

Every single time I go into thos place the service is rude. Today took the cake though, I was calling in an order and the young lady kept stopping me to talk to someone else which I dont mind (it's a business) but right when I made my first order she hung up, no that's all? Thank you for your order? Anything else? So I called back and she answered and I said I'm not sure if the phone got disconnected but I wasn't finished, I than heard her pass the phone to someone else and say this lady is annoying and than that person hung up, I called back 8 times to no answer and the final time they placed the phone off the hook. This is so hurtful that this is a haitian business I can walk into any other Caribbean restaurant and would never experience this. It's to the point that my St. Vincent husband said he didnt even want the food anymore and he will never eat there again. The food is good but the staff really need SOME SERIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING. I dont know 1 person that doesn't complain about the customer service there its RIDICULOUS!!!!! read more

Food is always amazing I definitely recommend this placed I highly recommend black rice with taso or griot
