Today was my first time visiting Flavas Grill, and I ordered the jerk chicken and fried chicken. Before going, I called the restaurant to ask whether it was better to order ahead or if I could just walk in and get my food right away. The person who answered the phone was very kind and helpful — such a nice guy. That alone already made a great impression. I usually travel all the way to Manhattan for good Jamaican food, so I was extremely happy to finally find a delicious Jamaican restaurant close to home. The chicken was incredibly tender, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was also amazing. I’m sure this will become a place I visit often. Highly recommended!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Let’s get straight to it, because I only mean business with this one. I was visiting the area, did my usual Google dive, and landed on Flavaz after seeing a photo that spoke to my soul. And honestly, I trust pictures more than some of y’all’s reviews (respectfully, of course 😏). Naturally, I called ahead to confirm the star of the show, oxtail.. and it was on the menu! Then came my usual line of questioning: how fresh, how tender, how generous are we talking here? And let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Valerie, who was running things at the time, delivered A+ service from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and clearly knows how to make a guest feel welcome. If management happens to read this: go ahead and give her that raise, she’s a gem. I went all in with extra oxtail, rasta pasta, and rice & peas, and I’ve been feeling spiritually fulfilled ever since. Tried to keep this short , truly? but when the food and service hits, you’ve got to give credit where it’s due. Flavaz Grill is serving up authentic Jamaican comfort food done right. Get the oxtails. You won’t be disappointed - unless you didn’t order enough!

I just ordered the stew chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. Honestly I think it’s been one of the best Caribbean spots in Bergen county. I did order towards the end of the night and they informed me they ran out gravy for the stew chicken but were able to do oxtail gravy instead. It was still very delicious- the chicken, the gravy, the rice, the cabbage, everything! Everything was delicious. The customer service was really good. The 2 girls who took my order were very nice and accommodating. Im definitely recommending to friends and family.
