Decided to give it a shot, since I looked up Jamaican restaurants near me. This is "NOT" Jamaican food. Not flavorful at all, oxtails smelled and tasted like it was boiled with no seasoning, and the rice and beans tasted horrible. About the only part of the meal that was edible was the fried plantains.
With the oxtail, is covered in onions, lots of bones (which isn't unheard of, even in authentic Jamaican restaurants, so I'm not that mad about that), and the meat just stank. The gravy was watery. No caramelized, rich sauce. The rice and beans had no coconut flavoring. Just terrible.
And to boot, it came with a side of pasta, or macaroni salad, or some kind of pasta with white sauce that I was "not" going to taste.
I feel guilty for talking about a business like this, and just chalked it up to "now I know better." My wife and I looked at each other with question marks when we looked at the menu and saw a lot of pasta dishes, and what you'd think is Italian cuisine.
I'm sorry, I'll never eat here again. I'd literally rather eat a 3/$5 can of soup.
Sightly in their defense, they don't call themselves a Jamaican restaurant, but Google lists them as such.
Go to Flavor's (they're not perfect too, but if you know Jamaican restaurants, it's always a fight when you order. Run out of food fast, attitude, small portions, expensive, but man the food is worth it when you put it in your mouth) if you're looking for delicious Jamaican in Boynton Beach. And actually go there. If you do delivery, they'll just give you whatever they want. You have to actually go...
Read moreI finally made it in on my lunch break. As I entered I noticed a lady eating, her food looked so good I wanted to steal a piece of meat. I could smell the fresh jasmine rice on her plate. The cashier was pleasant, warm, and welcoming as I placed my order. I’m a picky eater and she was very patient and helpful with my order and yet still considerate of my time. The experience was a very exceptional one. Pride was taken with my food. The place is rather small for dining but there was space available. The vibe was so comfortable and welcoming I just sat with a lovely little boy and enjoyed my break.
… omw there now for more food and needed the info, seeing these reviews I had to add my piece.
Hope it’s...
Read moreI paid almost $40 for two ordersoxtails with some sides, any restaurant I've ever been to before I got a large styrofoam full of oxtails and a small styrofoam with the sides in it. Not from here,I got three and a half pieces of oxtail per order, and a large styrofoam with about 2 lb of rice some bowtie pasta and two pieces of fried fish. I could not even believe it when I got home and opened the bag. for $15 at any other Caribbean restaurant, it would have been exact opposite of this. I normally get about 14 pieces of oxtail for less than half of what...
