Flavas International Grill — Restaurant in New York

2025 UPDATE 2nd review I'M MAD AT MYSELF. I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION. THIS IS A 2ND REVIEW ON THIS PLACE. MY DAUGHTER ORDERED US SOME FOOD AND I WASN'T PLEASED AFTER EATING IT. I LOOKED UP THE PLACE SHE ORDERED FROM AND TO MY SURPRISE, I HAD THEIR FOOD BEFORE. 🤮 LET ME SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE... THE MAC AND CHEESE HAD A STINCH THAT REMINDS ME OF SEWAGE. NO, I'VE NEVER TASTED THE SEWER BEFORE BUT YOUR SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL IS CONNECTED. I ALSO TASTED IT IN THEIR HOMADE, GINGER PINEAPPLE DRINK. TO MAKE THINGS WORST, SOMEONE MUST BE HANDLING THE FOOD WITH PERFUME ON BECAUSE THINGS WERE TASTING PERFUMY. I WISH I REALIZED THE ORDER WAS COMING FROM THIS PLACE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HARD NO! THEY NEED TO CHECK THEIR WATER SYSTEM. THE FOOD SHOULDN'T TASTE LIKE TOILET. ANOTHER $60 WASTED. I HAD TO TRASH IT. BTW THE JERK CHICKEN WAS THE SAME, JUST LESS SAUCE BUT TO SPICY.

1st review Never again! A $60 waste. My Sister says the food is probably better in the daytime. Freshly made may be best. I keep thinking it's gonna be different. I keep taking chances on these bronx restaurants, and I'm disappointed most of the time. I'm starting to believe these restaurants just throw food together just to get your money. Nobody cares about good food anymore. I had the jerk chicken. It was LOADED with sauce. Way too much sauce. I did not request any extra sauce. I couldn't even enjoy the chicken. It also was very spicy with a vinegary taste to it. Ugh! The mac and cheese was hot, but the cheese was stiff like it was cold. You would think that since it was hot, the cheese would melt. Just weird! Was it real cheese? The taste was eh. The yams were the only thing I enjoyed. A little too sweet but tolerable. I'm tired of spending money and receiving less than what I expect. These restaurants don't have any problems taking your hard earned money, but they have a problem giving you...

I’ve know about Flavas since they first opened. I was glad I had a new option for Jamaican food. At first the food was tasty and plentiful. Serving large portions of food is the hallmark of this restaurant. However as the years went buy it seemed the business has changed. One of my biggest complaints is the food is treated like slop! The food is sevred onto the plate like slop! The hot table is kept like slop! It appears they get a lot of business and are short staffed. I went late in the day. The food taste like its made for the masses. This is not your Jamaican Mama’s secret receipt. The food is not cook for style or fashion it’s cooked to serve large portions and to make money. One of my major complaints from the beginning is the food is too oily. Most selection are soaking in oil. The staff are civil never friendly. This is what you will find in at most Jamaican Restaurants. Don’t go in there looking for a smile or a hi how are you because that is not going to happen! The price is basically what everyone is charging during inflation. I don’t blame them for that. The rice should be keep in a rice steamer and not on the hot table. The hot table dries out the rice. I got curried chicken rice and peas with collard greens and mac & cheese for $17.95. The place needs a fresh coat of paint. Most business are finding it hard to stay a float. That is most likely part of the issue also. They had a lot of food late at night on a Friday.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone that cares about customers service and good food. First they add a charge called covid-19 fee without disclosing this information. They also advertise with restaurant.com (this is the only reason we found this restaurant) but didn’t honor the coupon when presented claiming they canceled the service. We purchased a coupon which required a $50 minimum purchase and they refused to honor it or compensate us with a discount for the cost of the coupon. I feel like this is false advertisement and very poor customer service. They refuse to accommodate us in anyway to make our dining experience better. Didn’t offer anything. Just didn’t care. Let’s not forget the Covid-19 fee they included in the bill. So not only did I have to pay full price for my meal, I now also had to pay close to $20 on top of that. (Price of coupon and “Covid fee”) We still cash tipped our waitress as it’s not her fault, though she should have told us about the Covid-19 fee. The covid fee was a fee they claim could be added due to the loss of business because of covid. Why should I be forced pay for your loss of business?! The...
