I normally don't bother to leave reviews, but I'm making sure to copy and paste this anywhere I can:

I called Flava for a Large side of cabbage (only) to add to what I was having for dinner, and I was told that they don't sell sides by themselves. I proceeded to ask for an alternative and was told that I had to buy a platter. I paused b/c 1) I didn't immediately believe such stupidity existed; and 2) I actually entertained the idea of buying a platter just to get the cabbage. Then I quickly came back to reality and ended the conversation. I'm only giving the 2 rating b/c the food is really good; but my mother has also experienced them not answering the phone during store hours - FYI. I won't address the prices b/c Caribbean food is notoriously overpriced, so theirs is no different. I will (eventually) be back b/c again, the food is great and b/c I try to make a conscious effort to support black businesses; but being met w/ such idiocy and pure ridiculousness sometimes makes it difficult.

Today was my first time trying this place out and I enjoyed it very much. I plan on going back again. The only complaint I have is when I picked up my food that I called ahead, it wasn't hot like I thought it would be so I had to reheat it. But other than that I loved the flavor of my dish which was the jerk chicken.

This place is awesome! Its nice, cute, and quaint. Everything seems so fresh, nice friendly staff. Please dont listen to the review below. Ive been to this place several times and they always outdo themselves.

I went to the restaurant because I was tired of chinese restaurants and I had business in the area. I received a table. To take my order the male host didn't have a pen, so he stretched the one tied to a string on the front desk and was standing half way between me and the front desk to write my order. Very unclassy but there was no other place close to eat.

I ordered water to drink, but he stated they didn't have any ice. I made a friendly suggestion that maybe he could get some from Wawa next door. He then began to explode, berating me with his angry words. I stated that it was a friendly suggestion. I then started walking to the door. He looked like he was about to assault me. He then started yelling, "Get out!!"

As if I wasn't already. He need not ever worry about me coming there. I always thought their food was unsavory, but I would take it home to season it.

I went there a few times in the past n everytime I go to Sicklerville. His lack of class and professionalism is a reminder of why I always opt to not go there. I'd rather travel the 15 minutes extra to go to Applebees or Outback steak house. At least I can eat in.

He obviously did not go to school to learn social skills or how to be a proper host.
