Jamaican Flavors

This place always gets customers waiting in 2 lines since the food is delicious! You can’t beat curried chicken or jerk chicken in a nice, warm n sweet coco bread mon! If I worked around this place. I would be 500 pounds. Anyone who stops by Jamaican Avenue for shopping. needs to stop by Jamaican Flavors! Make sure you drink some peppery ginger beer!

Literally a hole in the wall Jamaican patties spot.
They have about 7 – 8 options. I got the Jerk Chicken and Beef. Wasn’t really feeling either one and didn’t even finish them.
This place has solid reviews and had a line when I was there so perhaps I just got a bad batch or something. All good, it’s not like I venture out to Jamaica Queens on the regular.

If u ever been to Jamaica and want to remember what a pattie is supposed to taste, then u need to come and ck out this little hole in the wall. Highly recommend Jerk pattie !!
For those who have been to Jamaica, this place is better then Juicy Patties in Jamaica. … Ya Mon !

BEST BEEF PATTY WITH COCO BREAD, hands down!
Honestly that’s all i really have to say in this review for you to understand what to expect food wise. The obvious pros are that the flavors are definetly there. no matter what you order you wont be disappointed. mind you this is no sit down restaurant or even walk in store. nope. its literally a small 2 window counter wall. It located close to the corner on the colosseum on Jamaica avenue.
You’ll always notice a long line of people who look like there staring at a wall. (kind of reminds me of harry potter and the platform 9 ¾.) my advice? JOIN THAT LINE, and do not let anyone skip, trust me! hold that spot like your life depends on it lol. yup welcome to Jamaica, queens.
The cashiers work very diligently and get things done so you’re order is in and out! they aren’t the warmest in greeting but you know they mean well. There isnt much time for chit chat but do take a moment to check out the menu and just try ANYTHING. Honestly even if it sounds strange, try it. this place never disappoints where flavor is invovled.
I would like to see maybe an upgrade to the storefront at least since they’ve been a part of this neighborhood a long time. its nice to see when community businesses move up. good luck to them and come on down!

Jamaican flavors is a window on the colosseum block that sells patties and other Jamaican fare. I thought that this place would be good because there is ALWAYS a long line here.
The «spicy» beef patty with coco bred ran me $ 3.50.
This thing wasn’t even close to spicy. Bland is a better word. The beef filling was not only lacking in spice but in flavor as well. It may have been an off day but I didn’t taste a hint of seasoning in my patty. It wasn’t any better than a generic pizza shop «beef» patty. In a area called «Jamaica» queens there is definitely better Jamaican patties in the vicinity. 2.5 stars.

The beef patties are THE best. PERIOD! Didn’t and will not try anything else.

This is the best oxtails I’ve ever had !!! The Jerk chicken sandwich is good. 2 locations in Jamaica. One 165^th Mall and Jamaica Ave the other in the Bus Terminal on Merrick Blvd .btue other restaurant (with a few seats) is on Springfield And Merrick Blvd.

They have by far the best patties ever, As close to Jamaica’s patties. Love that they do not purée the filling. I have gone to multiple places where it felt like i was eating baby food in the patty. I want the texture of real meat darn it. If I wanted baby food I will purchase them. Thank you Jamaican Flavors for doing right for the patty lovers.

True Jamaican Flavor that always hits the spot! I’ve been coming here for years for flavorful patties and this is my ONLY go to spot.
The staff is respectful and speedy. Love the aunties and nanas working here in this small hut of a store front.
I always order the Curry Chicken patty. Made with real scotch bonnet peppers, curry and diced white meat chicken. Encrusted in a flaky baked patty. This is like… an empanada on steroids!!! I am lucky to work a block away from this location and frequent often when the craving hits. They also serve delicious Jamaican dessert delicacies like pineapple yellow cake and my all time favorite classic «Black Cake» Also Known As «Rum cake». Bitterly tart, MOIST and sweet to the core.

Every time I go to Jamaica Avenue I always stop by Jamaican flavors to get 2 jerk chicken patties with Coco bread it’s delicious and flavorful and affordable the best in Jamaica Queens

I came here today for a quick bite while in the area. I wouldn’t say this is a place I’d commute to for Jamaican food however the patties are good when you need something cheap and fast. They’re now $ 2.50 (and coco bread is an additional dollar). They have a variety of flavors but I stick to the spicy beef or jerk chicken. They’ve always been consistent and their fillings have a certain sweetness to them (red bell peppers?) which is different from other patties I’ve had. The spicy beef really isn’t that spicy compared to Golden Krust or other places so it may be more tolerable for those with a milder palate. I’m not sure if they use more filling than any other patty but it’s definitely a lot thinner which is why it’s always oozing everywhere… and this is where the coco bread comes into play! Their coco bread is some of the best I’ve ever had, it’s always very soft, buttery and big — it really could be a meal on its own. One star off for ambiance since it’s nonexistent, there is basically a little hole in the wall from which you order. This is perfect when you need something to grab and go.
**Beware! Their patties are always piping hot, I burn myself every single time!

Was craving Jamaican patties and decided to go to Jamaica Queens to get some. The area is rough even for the most adventurous traveler, but the journey was well worth it. Ended up getting various flavors each worth their own weight. Would recommend if you are in the area or willing to leave Manhattan.

Maybe the best Jamaican patties I ever had! Awesome! And great selection too.

The coliseum locally known as «da Coli block» is not the nicest of places. They have seedy businesses that sell bootleg sneakers in the front and give tattoos and piercing in the back. Jamaican Flavors makes it worth venturing over there. The jerk chicken sandwich is bangin! The Flavors are above expectation and the portion is a nice size. The beef patties is what they are known for and they are good BUT if you want something different and delicious get the Jerk chicken sandwich.

My Husband brought home some patties after I told him about reading an article which mentioned Jamaican Flavors. We tried their Chicken Curry and Beef Patties which were pretty good, but not much different from any other Jamaican Patty I’ve had. So I guess our quest to find some great Jamaican patties is still on.

I have been going to spot for the past 20 years and they have the nerve to increase their price to 2.50 per patty and it’s 3.50 if you wanted coco bread. The patties have not been as fresh as they once were. You can tell they are using flour that’s been refrigerated and they don’t even bake on the premises. For a patty to be sold in the coliseum block for 2.50 is an insult to it’s community and Jamaicans. Mind you next door you can buy fake sneakers and drugs.

If you are craving patties this is the place to go!!! They have a lot of different options: 1) Veggie patty if you are a vegetarian (my friend said «it was good but if you can eat meat. eat the chicken or beef»… girl is hilarious)
2) Beef, chicken, curry chicken, curry beef, jerk chicken, jerk beef patties…
I have only tried the regular chicken and curry chicken patty with cheese in COCO BREAD!!! and all I can say is GO BUY IT YOU WON“T REGRET IT. Its the BEST combination to eat a patty… TRUST ME!!! and the COCO BREAD is so buttery and good, I really hope its gluten free bc i am not suppose to eat gluten… You know allergies… and if it was not i still would eat it because its absolutely delicious :) But so far no problem :) So go get yourself some JAMAICAN PATTIES bc this is the BEST PLACE TO GET THEM in NYC!!!

Pretty $&%@‘n good beef patty!
They have this explosive sweet flavor both in the crust and meat. It’s so good that I wanna go back now to get all the flavors to have for the week.
I went around 1 on Mother’s Day and had around 3 people ahead of me. I’ve seen the line around the block when doing drive-by’s before. Service is quick. Every type of patty is 2 dollars.
I’ll be back!

In a nutshell: Best Jamaican patties in town… or even America!
So I normally go to Patty World around the corner, but there was a stretch of time where Patty World was closed, so we stopped going altogether. We recently discovered Jamaican Flavors, which is on 165^th and Jamaica… just listen for the guys offering tattoos 2 for $ 10.
Jamaican Flavors is literally just a takeout window, but the patties are fantastic. More on that below.
Parking ²⁄₅
Why would you drive? Take a bus over here, or the F train to Parsons or 169^th.
Service ⁴⁄₅
The girls that work here are great, as long as you know what you want. My cousin brought some to Cali for us, and ordered a bunch of patties one day. She was a dollar short and she said they just hooked her up. Awesome.
Ambience ²⁄₅
There is no ambience. You essentially eat your patties on the street or take it home.
Patties ⁵⁄₅
Here’s what I get:
–Jerk Chicken
–Curry Chicken
–Spicy Beef
The best thing to get there: Jerk Chicken patty with cheese in Coco bread. YUMMY!!!
Overall ⁵⁄₅
I think about this place constantly. Probably because I still have some in my freezer. I think I’ll have one when I get home.

Been awhile since I came here.
But I was craving for some hot beef pattys, and nothing will suffice unless it came from this hole in the wall. Hot beef is still my #1 choice.
The patty is packed full of beef filling. The crust is flaky and made to perfection. The beef was oozing out and falling off onto my napkin. Filling is so good that I just couldn’t resist licking it off my napkin, even though I wasn’t even done with my patty yet.
Service is quick and fast, wait in line and have your cash ready. Grab a go spot for those who want a quick meal/​snack.
