Our first time here! A real find if you want home cooked healthy authentic Island flavor:) pun intended. We had the Goat curry and the boneless Chicken curry, we will be back for more👌🏼👍🏼 I’ll add the menu here for easy reference… It feels more like we were friends over for a delicious meal with Norris, it’s that home cooked feeling.

This place isn’t clean. She hides behind big plants so you can see how the food is prepared but I saw her take food out from another fridge hidden behind some curtain and reheat it. It was not fresh at all. I know coming from a small town we’re missing Caribbean food but being from the Caribbean myself this place is lacking big time! She needs to change the name bc there’s no flavour in the food. I ordered a chicken soup and goat curry.. really wished island dish didn’t closed down. $26 down the drain for me 😔

I didn't know they were closing soon when my husband showed up to get me a curry chicken. They were nice enough to make it for me anyway and it's by far some of the best I've ever had. It's perfectly seasoned and a really good serving size for the price. To the wonderful woman there tonight thank you for going out of your way to make my meal and for such an amazing tasting meal at that.

I ordered the goat curry which came with a side of rice and peas (please) and some salad. The wait was only 10 minutes and everything was delicious and fresh. My meal was enough to feed 2 people.

We recently went to Flavor Kitchen and it did not disappoint. The portions were satisfying and the flavors were on point. We will definitely be returning in the future. It's great to have a Caribbean restaurant in the area

Hi All, The place is good not great (better places out there) but it does seem like food is made out of love. I personally thought the taste was okay but nothing amazing. We tried a bunch of their items and the restaurant does try but i would not go back. They have interesting hours so if you go check if they are open first.

Overall just happy that there is Jerk chicken in the area but the flavours were average. We were offered two choices of sides between macaroni salad and coleslaw and got both however the coleslaw was just shredded veggies - disappointing! Macaroni salad was good.

Wow! I'm so glad there is a Caribbean restaurant in New Tecumseth because I can't live without it. My first visit was impressive with top-notch food and friendly, thoughtful staff. I ordered the lunch special Jerk Chicken with rice and peas. Their coleslaw was fresh and crisp. Chicken was tender, flavourful, and juicy. The rice and peas were fresh and to perfection and perfectly drizzled in a delicious oxtail gravey. I've already been back again and have started telling my friends about this place!

Im disappointed. I ordered the jerk pork meal. I waited a while, being the only customer at the time. The rice and peas taste sour (spoiled). The jerk pork is just plain with a lot of fat. It did seem suspicious how long she took behind the counter preparing the food. You cant really see whats happening. I have to throw away the food now because I cant eat it. Dont think Ill be making another visit.

My family used Flavor Kitchen for catering recently. I was extremely impressed with the food and service. The entrées including the curry goat and oxtail were hearty & flavourful. The rice and peas, vegetables and salad were the perfect complement to the main dishes. Overall the catering service provided was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to add some flavour and fun to their event. The staff were friendly and professional and the food was top notch.

Ive been waiting for a good curry place to come to Alliston and this place hits the mark spectacularly. Great food, great staff, short wait times, and more then generous portions.

December 21, 2023

Good and bad about this place. I wish the portions were greater and that the food wasn t shared at a temperature which is hardly warm. The stock in regards to patty s are never available in all selections of fillings. They owners and lady who warms the food up is very unpleasant and not very welcoming to anyone of a background that I come from. Short tempered and unwilling to take any criticism or suggestions without becoming hostile toward me or if I sent my family member there. I honestly did not like the food just supported them because it s the only West Indian place in the town and after the food not being portioned or tasting right I supported for feeling sorry for them but now I will never return there the way I was treated in the restaurant when ordering and enquiring that unpleasant afternoon I decided to get a snack for my girlfriend and I. Please just be aware of them getting personal with you and very hostile in behaviour if u ask or suggest or criticize something in a constructive manner toward them. They will be very mean to you or your family. Sorry it sounds all negative but I really just didn t deserve that treatment and I believe it s not for anyone to have to ever experience what I did. I hope another Jamaican restaurant opens up soon to have more selection over just flavour kitchen here in Alliston. Cheers

I come here for lunch and this is the roti. Sad, I posted this review a few weeks ago. I just went in there to order again. And they refused me service and told me they would never serve me again. Just because of my google review. A review is supposed to help a company get better. If you take every review personally your not going to be successful in business. Very poor customer service.

December 21, 2022

I ran to my car today so i can get some jerk chicken on my 25 min lunch break for me to get there and they were closed. Very bad look for you to be closed when your website says open. Im very upset about this. You may have lost a customer

Wow! I have so far eaten, actually devoured, Jerk Chicken with Rice and peas, Chunky Chicken curry in roti, and one of the craziest Ox tail of all time! Well seasoned, fall off the bone goodness. Like the flavours explode in your mouth and its not spicy! Being West Indian myself ( ), we are pretty hard to impress with food....... Today I met my match! Alliston is definitely on the come up with many different foods and this is a must try place! Thank you for reminding me of mamas cooking, (ahhh I wont tell her) in the greater North! See you soon!

Finally got a chance to try flavor kitchen and my wife and I were quite impressed. Very good flavours and fresh tasting. The salad was very fresh and light tasting nice crunch! The jerk pork was nice cubes of tender pork and I love that they left some of the fat on!! Never take the fat away!! Lol. The oxtail was traditionally good and all the right flavours, Good gravy! Maybe it would have been nice to be asked if we wanted extra oxtail gravy, but not a big thing. The jerk chicken I didn t try as much as I love the other meats more, but my wife said she liked it, but could Have used more spice, but as for my mom the spice was enough. We also tried the chick pea and potato curry patty s were ok, but really wanted to try the chicken patty but they were out and the coco bun was ok. All in all very good food and definitely will be back and would recommend this restaurant.
