Reviews for Flavas Jamaican Grill in Oakland, CA
The food was DELICIOUS!! As a Jamaican, its so hard finding Jamaican spots that are authentic but Flavas get my stamp of... approval. I got festival as well and it was nice and fluffy. The only complaint I have was that I ordered on the site and theywere having problems so I waited a little long for my food but other than that, their food is great. Read more
Tried Flavas Jamaican Grill (Oakland) for the first time (via UberEats) a couple of days ago and have since ordered twice! I was... very impressed by the flavor, presentation and sustainable packaging ? the food travels well. I ordered the Jerk Chicken wings(with jerk sauce on the side), Rice & Beans (peas), Codfish Fritters, Plantains, and Mac n Cheese and everything was delicious?consistent to taste. A part of my family line is Jamaican and even though I didn?t grow up in the culture, there?s definitely asense of ?home? and comfort while eating my fritters, and especially the plantains, and rice & peas. Followed up with a Ting!Touched my heart! The only item I wasn?t a fan of was the Jamaican patty from my first order. It was a nice size, but the meatfilling was a tad underwhelming (visually/texture wise) compared to Jamaican Patties with beef I?ve tried in the past. I may tryagain because I?ve seen review photos that look more promising. Overall all, I enjoyed my meals and am a satisfied customer. Read more
This Flavas Jamaican Grill is situated in a ghost kitchen establishment. Don't wait too long to pick up your order it could get... cold. Best enjoyed hot call the restaurant when you arrive or check in at the kiosk . It doesn't offer seating or dining inoptions. But what it lacks in ambiance is greatly overshadowed by the terrific Flavas of Flavas. The Jerk Chicken is so we'llseasoned , with the perfect hint of hot. Plantains are always made just right with that subtle crisp around the outside. Theyhave the secret recipe for their rice and peas combo. It's soft, and creamy tasting cooked to perfection. Flavas is an absolutemust for those seeking that trip to Jamaica on the ship of their taste buds. Yah Mon! Read more

I usually only eat at the location in the city (SF) but I tried the ital plate after someone told me they had a location in... Oakland. I'm not certain what happened but it tasted as if someone dumped a pound of salt in my food...I had already reachedhome when I tried it. I was so disappointed. If this review were only for the SF location it would definitely be 5 stars Read more
