Island Flavorz

Greeted by the bustling of traffic, this restaurant is surrounded by a lot of activity. Entering the building you feel a transformation into the Jamaican Culture. The food hits your nostrils and the music moves your hips. The restaurant owner took my food order. With three beef patties and a multitude of other desires, our food was ready in 20 minutes. Although the restaurant is a vibe we took our food to go. Now I'm ashamed because although we took our food to go I ate a Pattie on my thirty-minute drive home. And my Lawd... it was fresh, flakey and the meat was seasoned with a little spice. Arriving home I dug into my plate. Spicy and tasty. The best meal I've had in a while. It felt like I transformed to grandma's kitchen. I was fat, full and happy. 10/10 recommend.

I ordered Island Flavorz based on a search for something close by while staying by the Houston Hobby Airport, and it did NOT disappoint. Although, i am a little annoyed that the picture when you order it shows salmon on top, mine did not come with salmon, so that's a little misleading, they should probably change that. The pasta was creamy, rich, with a bit of spice, so if you can't handle spice, i don't recommend, but if you CAN??? Oh, baby, make sure you get this! I recommend but make sure you order it with meat!

Very nice place, with very tasty food and good atmosphere. Only downside was that they were a little slow.

June 1, 2023No frills. No charm. No soda fountain, only bottled drinks or water. No plates (just styrofoam) plastic ware. BUT,the food...the FOOD is fresh and flavorful. we got the curry goat (tender and tasty) mac and cheese (yum) and the coconut curry shrimp--delish! Prices are moderate

Good food. Nice and fresh even when delivered via Door Dash. My favorite are the beef patties. Nice crust

This is the closest Jamaican restaurant to me. Food is really good. The people that work there are pleasant and the restaurant and restrooms stay clean. The service is normally pretty quick as well.I normally get the oxtail plate here when I get that craving. Food is well seasoned and tasted authentic. I took away one star because they charge extra for every little thing. I was charged 50 cents extra for basically another squirt of jerk sauce in a small container. And the Jerk Chicken was a bit hard on some areas this time. Normally this happens from being over cooked and re-heated more than once. If I come back, I will just stick to the oxtails and meat patties since those items stay more consistent.

Definitely worth trying if you crave authentic West Indian Fare.Located in a shopping plaza off of Fuqua and 45, it's a breeze to go in and take your food to go or dine in, if there is room...I suggest the curried goat anything & my favorite dish on the menu (besides the oxtail) is "The Rasta Pasta", which can include shrimp, chicken or oxtail" This place hits the spot every-time. The jerk-ANYTHING is great here as well...If your Vegan, there are options for you as well. Like their veggie patty.Try this spot out if your ever on the Southside of Houston...

Rasta pasta was immaculate! Ordered the jerk chicken , it was jerk chickeny but like it was brined in pepper all the way through. Pros:Home of the rum punchGood musicGood foodBeef PattiesBarSeating areas Cons: Jerk chicken was good but I've experienced better. Cashier told me there were no beef PattiesThen sells beef Pattie's to everyone after I ordered.Food was fresh when I got home !

I am blown away by island Flavorz! This is the best jerk chicken and the best jerk wings I've had in my life. I've eaten jerk chicken all over the USA and they are doing it right here. Absolutely the best in houston. Food: the jerk chicken is grilled to perfection. The char tastes so good. Also their jerk sauce has the right amount of heat. It's very subtle but hot in a good way. Every bite was fantastic. Also their Mac n cheese , rice and cabbage was simply to die for. The plantains were amazing too. The jerk wings here are special. Not only are they the best jerk wings, this was the best wings I've ever had. Top notch. So dam amazingly good! Every single bite was great. Also we wanted oxtails but they sold out. That shows how good they are. We will definitely be coming here for many more meals to come.

The food was great, and the service was excellent. The hostess was friendly and provided some great food recommendations. I would recommend the curry salmon and rice and peas. The chicken patty was delicious. I also recommend the rum punch, which, if you've ever been to Jamaica when, make you feel like you're back in the island of Jamaica.
