About This Place

Located in the vibrant heart of the Bronx, Flavas International Grill is a must-visit destination for lovers of authentic Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine. This restaurant brilliantly captures the soul of Caribbean food with hearty, flavorful dishes that comfort and excite the palate alike. Whether you’re craving the smoky heat of jerk chicken, the rich, tender curry goat, or the crisp, savory fried shrimp, Flavas International Grill promises a deeply satisfying culinary experience.

The menu reads like a comprehensive journey through Caribbean favorites: the signature Jerk Chicken Rice and Beans with Butter Beans delivers a perfect balance of spice and savory depth, while the Oxtails with Collard Greens, Candied Yams, and Mac and Cheese is a soul food masterpiece, rich and comforting with every bite. Each plate is generously portioned, making it ideal for sharing or indulging on your own. Sides like Okra & Tomato, Mixed Cabbage, and Plantains add variety and a fresh vegetable balance that enhances the meals’ vibrant flavors.

Flavas International Grill also excels in its combo plates—each thoughtfully crafted to allow guests to customize their meals. The Jerk Chicken Combo or the Curried Chicken Combo, paired with two sides, are favorites that bring a well-rounded, hearty meal for just under $15, making the dining experience accessible as well as delicious. Vegetarian options shine here too, with flexible veggie plates featuring fresh greens, broccoli blends, and sweet corn, ensuring that even those seeking plant-based dishes leave fully satisfied.

The drinks menu is equally inviting, offering refreshing homemade punches and tropical sodas like Kola Champagne and Ting, perfect for cooling the palate after a spicy meal. These beverages echo Flavas’ commitment to an authentic Caribbean experience, enhancing every bite and bringing a true taste of the islands to the Bronx.

Guests consistently praise the tender textures and bold flavors. For instance, Erin Spadola couldn’t resist sharing how tender her pepper steak was—so soft it required nothing more than a plastic fork—and how the entire lunch was elevated by friendly, attentive service. Gregory Clarke delights in the oxtail and baked chicken, highlighting the perfect accompaniment of mac & cheese and vegetables that ensures flavor and nourishment walk hand in hand.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, Flavas International Grill knows there is always room for growth, especially in customer interaction—experience is king in hospitality, and every visitor's comfort is paramount. Nonetheless, the food remains the undeniable star, with Christiane Hayward raving about the generous portions of goat curry paired with butter beans and rice & peas that “WOW!”

Whether you’re looking for an authentic Caribbean food fix before a Yankees game, a robust dinner, or a convenient, delicious catering option, Flavas International Grill stands out as a Bronx favorite that delivers rich, cultural flavors with warmth and pride. With each bite, you'll not only taste expertly spiced dishes but also feel a genuine connection to Caribbean culinary traditions brought lovingly to life.

    I had the best lunch! Pepper steak with coconut rice with cabbage… The steak I didn’t even need a knife for, I cut it with a plastic fork and everything was so yummy. Best of all was the service, everyone was so nice.

    Excellent experience right near Yankee Stadium. The food is beyond tremendous and you can order ahead to get your order ready to go! The oxtail, the baked chicken and the whiting were off the chain. Licking my fingers and did not use napkins. The Mac & Cheese was delightful while the mixed cabbage made sure you go some vegetables in your system. So if you are near 161st Street in the Bronx, stop by Flavas and enjoy yourself!

    I just ordered the goat curry and it is FANTASTIC. Ordered with the butter beans and rice & peas. Both great. It’s a generous portion: enough for two. This is going to be a favorite. WOW!

    I been going here since it’s original location on E163rd and Third Ave (20+ years)when Ms Yvonne would greet you with courtesy BUT NOT TODAY, instead of asking me what I would like to order they yelled out “no candy” because me and my sons had “dia de loa muertos” face paint. I d c if I was dressed like Santa, if I was dressed like the Easter bunny, it ain’t none of your bussiness, you there to provide a service to ME and my sons : you ask what dish you want, prepare it package and serve it when I pay,. I KNOW they don’t play with them white folks Comming to buy our food after a Yankee game…@

    10 days later, I am still trying to figure out the high beef patty prices $3.65. Jerk chicken was good though.
