Great service! Tasty food, and great value with good size portions. The chicken, salads and Mac n’ Cheese are my favourites! I highly recommend Flava Ceen!

I was in the area so I thought I’d check out this place as they offered oxtail. Being a self proclaimed oxtail connoisseur, I went there with high expectations. I literally just finished my oxtail dinner from this place and I was very satisfied with my meal. The serving of oxtail was generous. The meat was fall off the bone I could literally pick the meat off the a spoon. Lastly the oxtail gravy was amazing. Great job guys/girls. I’ll be back soon.

The food has flava, but too much salt is killing it. Everytime I buy goat or fish, the salt too much to want to finish the meal. Please take into consideration!

Good food! Delicious. Overall a solid choice. Nice people working there. The portions of meat could be a bit bigger. The coleslaw is not very good though, tastes kind of watery.

Flava Ceen in Etobicoke was exactly what I needed! I’m traveling across Canada visiting family, and after being under the weather for so long, it's such a joy to finally enjoy great food again. Lucky for us, we have a few days in Toronto, and this place was a highlight. The jerk lasagna was a standout—so delicious that I’m definitely going to try recreating it! The oxtail was perfectly tender and packed with flavor. For dessert, the tiramisu cheesecake and red velvet cheesecake were both incredible treats. The customer service was outstanding, probably the best I’ve experienced in Toronto. Our server was friendly, gave us some great recommendations, and even with a line of people, she was attentive and cheerful. Her genuine smile made the experience even better—something I rarely see in Calgary.

The service was excellent and the prices are great for the portions you get. Will definitely go back and try other items on the menu next time. Highly recommended!!

The staff were very kind and accommodating, I just wish that they had used atlernatives to plastic utensils. I dont think the food was for me, but Im glad to have tried it! I got the vegetarian lasagna, and it didnt really have many of the unique flavors I wanted to try from Carribean Cuisine. Overall, Id say its a great place, just not for me. Thank you to the kind staff! Vegetarian options: They have few options, but worth trying. You might not get a lot of the unique flavors that come with Caribbean cuisine though

So while driving around hungry, I looked up a good burger place near me. ( I wasnt driving at the time of looking up places). Found a place and headed there, only to find out it was closed. But the store next door was open and thats how I ended up here. We didnt grab much, just a couple of patties, they were good, a jerk chicken sandwich, also good, but then we grabbed a Mac and cheese to try... Let me tell you, it was incredible, so cheezy, with a nice crust on the top, and noods were cooked perfectly! We grabbed three more before we left. Yes, no question I will be there, for another Mac and cheese hit!!

Flava Ceen is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm vibes and the irresistible aroma of authentic Jamaican cuisine. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. Now, lets talk about the food. Oh my goodness, it was a flavor explosion! The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of heat. The oxtail stew was tender and rich, and the roti was a delightful combination of flavors. And lets not forget about the plantains and rice and peas they were the perfect accompaniments to the main courses. The atmosphere at Flava Ceen is vibrant and lively. It truly captures the essence of Jamaica. Whether youre looking for a casual lunch or a fun dinner spot, Flava Ceen is the place to be. I highly recommend Flava Ceen to anyone craving delicious Jamaican cuisine. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!

Ok honestly I was and still am I big fan of this place but some things need to change. First off that young lightskin girl needs some better customer service. She s not very welcoming compared to all the other staff I ve experienced there. She always acts like she hates her job. Ever since she been working there I always receive small portions of food that isn t worth what I m paying for considering there is only one size. I ve always received 4 pieces of chicken minimum and a good portion of rice. Now when I go I always get 3 small pieces of chicken and barely any rice. Past couple times I ordered a curry goat it was all bones.. barely and meat. The more recent time, I told the girl that she only put bones in my container and she just looked at me and shut the container. Did management change the portion sizes or is it just this staff that is stingy?

Very disappointed with the food and service I received. I ordered their jerk lasagna, & despite their false promise of it having a lot of sauce when I asked, it ended up being so dry and soggy. The lasagna was clearly microwaved and lost its structure. I also got one piece of their fried chicken. The skin had a great texture but lacked seasoning and flavour. The chicken meat was somewhat moist but not juicy. I also got a very small container of curry goat sauce on the side which was actually the tastiest thing I had out of everything. I also felt a sense of racism from the way I was treated. Being Asian, I understand I may not be the common customer for this type of restaurant, but that shouldnt change the level of anticipated customer service I should receive. The owner didnt greet me nicely like he did with his other customers of the same ethnicity. When he asked for my order, he wasnt happy about it & almost sounded like he was bossing me around with his tone. The cashier that finalized my order spoke very rudely to me in the most disgruntled manner. When I asked for other menu items & possible extra condiments, she responded in such a negative tone & was rushing to dismiss me. Not that it bothers me that things were sold out, but her attitude was very uncomfortable & unprofessional to deal with. I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately I wont be coming back. Im sure there are other Caribbean spots that will treat me with a decent level of customer service that everyone of every race deserves.

If I could give more stars I would. Ive been to many Jamaican restaurants and by far Flava Ceen is the absolute best. Ive been meaning to make a review with pics for sometime but when I smell that jerk chicken all I think about is getting it in my belly!! Everything Ive tried is so full of flavour and always consistent. The jerk chicken and jerk pork, stew chicken, fried chicken and bbq chicken are all great. Rice and peas and their coleslaw is great too, I always get extra coleslaw.. theyre a bit stingy with it If youre ever in the area I highly recommend trying them out, you wont be disappointed!!

One of the best spot for Carribbean cuisine in the area. Fast & efficient service, with an amazing variety of flavourful dish & drinks options, generous serving portions, and reasonable pricing. The establishment has no space for a dine in experience so the food is only available for take out. My personal go to combos are the jerk pork, fried chicken or oxtail with rice and peas. They are generous with adding gravy to your food, highly recommend asking for it on top of your rice and meat orders. With all their options of food dishes and drinks, you can basically have any type of combos you prefer.

December 22, 2023

Just went by there to try and get lunch and the doors are locked, staff are visibly ignoring customers at the door. Their hours state they open at 12 it s not 12:15. There s a lady making coleslaw not looking at us outside and a gentleman (I believe the manager) signalling to the glass as though they re closed. I walk back to my car and not even a minute afterwards they open up the door for another gentlemen. I couldn t believe my eyes I felt disregarded and purposely neglected at the door like their not suppose to be open. At the very least someone could ve explained to us the situation if they were going to open later. Once I noticed they opened I went in to confront the gentleman who signalled they were closed and his reasoning was that they were closed and waiting the cashier to come and they just opened up for him as they would any customer no apology for any inconvenience or nothing just disregard. Mind you the same man and woman are the only ones there and they opened no problem just after me and the other lady had left. Very weird. I will no longer be spending my money on establishments like this who don t know how to treat their customers. CUSTOMER SERVICE STILL MATTERS!

I order the bbq chicken with rice and beans. Overall, the meal was mediocre. Nothing special about this meal and it was expensive. They had run out of coleslaw and they had no fried plantain (they never seem to have fried plantain). I tried to get another side since they didnt have coleslaw but the only other free side that they had was some brown looking lettuce. They charge for all the other sides. I will not be going there again.

December 22, 2023

This was my second time ordering from this restaurant and although my first experience was mediocre in terms of food taste, portion size and customer service, I said let s give them a second attempt. I AM TRULY DISGUSTED!!!! Yesterday after exams, I purchased a jerk chicken meal with rice and peas with a moderate amount of oxtail gravy, which was well seasoned and drowned out the flavour of the rice. I had about a quarter of the meal once I got home that evening and shared some with my kids. The rice and gravy combo was good, however, the rice was a bit mushy and the chicken was quite oily. The remainder was set aside in the fridge. Early this morning, for close to 2 hours straight, I was throwing up all over the place!!!!! Shortly thereafter my kids one by one were running to the toilet crying for stomach pains. (Sorry TMI) After nearly 6 hours of being in agony and debating whether to call the ambulance, I fell asleep. I later asked my eldest son to throw the food in the garbage and the smell that radiated from the container and permeated into the air was atrocious! I am not trying to bad mouth no one s business, but this ain t it. Please, please, please it is mandatory to be knowledgeable in proper food handling, food and safety practices and committing to adhering to rules without ever having to cut corners to save money like so many restaurants are guilty of doing. Unfortunately, after this experience, I must say that I will not be returning.

Went to this place after reading the reviews. I loved it! The service was nice. I asked the lady what sauce to put on my rice and she said go with the oxtail sauce and it was in point. The jerk chicken had a great flavor and the fried chicken is addictive crispy and juicy. I gotta say my favorite was the festival. Wow it was amazing. The rice and pea was the best. the flavor was unique and very good. They have a large drink selection as well. Do not hesitate to go here.

The food was excellent. The first time I went there I had the oxtail with the rice and beans. It was simple amazing. I told my friend about it. We went back together. He had the oxtail and I had the jerk chicken along with a beef patty. And I was not disappointed, it was even better the second time around. Vegetarian options: It was very tasty.

The food is always amazing a must go to whenever were in Etobicoke the service is also top notch. Highly recommend you go to Flava Ceen for your Jamaican cuisine thank you.

December 22, 2023

Been to Flava Ceen three times prior, the food is usually good. Today I ordered through UberEats and everything was horrible. The salmon tastes weird no seasoning or flavor but the pasta is alright, not up to the usual standard in flavour though. The snapper I ordered is dry and stiff as if it was cooked yesterday or day before, its not flaky or moist, I ordered it with white rice it came with rice and peas. I ordered vegetarian lasagna I got a spicy jerk chicken lasagna. Not what I ordered. Very disappointed with my order, it was a waste of my money.

I will start off by saying it is always best to buy food early from any places as the quality is always better. In this instance, it couldnt be helped. What could be improved upon is the storage of the food. The fried chicken, festival and other chicken were just sitting on a shelf. Nothing to keep it warm, which is just inviting bacteria to develop. If they were in a food warmer, maybe the food would taste a bit more fresh. But when it comes to dumpling, those usally get tough in a short period of time so they really should be made fresh per order or frequently like I have seen other restaurants done. When I bit into, it was clear some part of it was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and the other part was tough. The same goes for the fried chicken. The oxtail seems it could be cooked longer or maybe they mixed two different batches, one cooking longer than the other. Some of it was fall off the bone and some had a bit more resistance. It also could use a bit more flavor. The jerk chicken was ok. Unless jerk chicken is made the traditional way, which is on the jerk pan, dont expect too much in taste from a lot of restaurant. The potato salad was decent. The coleslaw was spoilt so I threw it out. That was really disappointing. If the other areas were improved upon then I could give it a 3 or 4. Keep in mind that isnt a place you can sit an eat in. You have to get your food to go.

I love their food but for some reason every time i order through ubereats, i never receive my drink.......... first time my order was missing the ginger beer and second time was the tropical rhythm juice. im not going to instruct the uber driver to open the bag and check through my order. its not their job when the bag is stapled shut. so is there anyway i can get the item i paid for? i dont want to get a refund. just want what i ordered to be right or at least be asked if i want a substitution if its not available.

This restaurant looks decent, but the service was absolutely ghetto. There was no supervisor or manager in the store to address the issues we had & the cashier didn t mention that they couldnt give me paper receipt.

If you re like me and need something sweet after salty they have cheesecake there for you. The lady at the front was very friendly. I got the bbq chicken dinner with rice and peas with oxtail gravy. When I tell you the oxtail gravy had a nice kick of spice that I wasn t ready for, I was pleasantly surprised. I also got a side of Mac and cheese it was okay, I felt like it was KD mixed with their own type of seasoning with it. I gave it a 6/10. It was nice and creamy though! This place is a really nice place to eat the chicken and rice tasted amazing and the portions were good. I could only eat half of my food

Is there new ownership?! The quality of the food has DRASTICALLY decreased. I used to order from here at least once a week, now its - if I cant find anything else. The jerk chicken I used to get all the time is now a few pieces of old dry meat. Its not even 6 full pieces! I used to love this place and recommended it to everyone. I thought, maybe I was just unlucky the last 3 times, so I tried to order again to give it another chance and this is what I got.. Tiny, old tasting, jerked pieces of dry meat meant for stew or curry chicken. Though the service and mannagement is great (to me), I cant even recommend it to people anymore out of fear they might face the same disappointment. A year ago, it was 6 stars. Now, for me, its a 2. Sorry. Ill check back in a couple months when the disappointment has worn off.

The best goat curry Ive tasted amongst all Caribbean restaurants in Toronto GTA. The rice and peas and roti were fresh too and of more than adequate portions. The jerk chicken, overshadowed by the curry goat, is still a winner. Chaleen was kind enough to go over the entire menu and her patience, yet smiling personality, was much appreciated!

So Im at a corse all weekend at Humber College. The food wasnt great so I found this place on Friday night. The jerk chicken was amazing. I went back for lunch the next day. The Curry chicken roti was top notch. I went back for dinner that night. The oxtail was stewed perfectly and hit the spot. I went back for lunch on Sunday. The fried chicken was so dam good. The only problem with this place is that I know have to go home to Stratford and I have to figure out how to get back here or figure out uber eats from Toronto to Stratford!!!!

I like the place, nice and clean. The owner is nice and friendly. The food portions are decent. Ive only had the jerk and barbecue chicken. So, my judgement is based off of that. The only thing they need to do is give more coleslaw! My God! Its like this amount of food with a tiny little amount if coleslaw that insulting. Most places would give you more coleslaw or veggies, especially if asked. If they can do that maybe then it would be a 4/5 at most in my humble honest opinion.

Food is good i agreed but i never been to a yard place where they dont have hot sauce. Went there like 4-5 cause i was watching my grandmother at the hospital across the street. Each time i went i asked for hot sauce the girl there just give a dirty look on her face and said we dont have. I thought the first time they ran out but after the 4th time. Like come on you charge so much for your food but couldnt give or make extra hot sauce especially if you know it runs out fast. Even give me the bottle hot sauce.

December 22, 2022

First off just wanna say the food is ok but service was terrible. I came in to order the lunch special which is 7.99 and says u can choose any type of chicken on the board . Well that s not the case. I walked in and the lady was helping the women in front of me. When it was my turn to order the women behind the counter completely ignored me and went on her phone after she stared at me then goes to the back. Once another customer came in she ignored me once again and helped that customer(barely acknowledging me mind you) i should have just left at this point! But she continued on and once again I m standing by the cash to order she prepared another customers order and looked at me to move .. no customer service at all .. after that a good 5-10 mins go by and her helping two other customers who came in after me ! Only then she was willing to take my order! She was rude when taking my order and told me the lunch special is only for 3 types of chicken. Even tho their sign says any kind of chicken .. just everything about this place screams bad customer service I told her no spice she didn t even listen .. she handed me my order in such a rude way might I add (I have never been treated like this before) I wouldn t recommend this place at all just all around terrible experience! This will be my first and last time here! they really need to have a better system to help their customers instead of being negligent, and rude. She looked like she didn t wanna be there at all .. I will never come back or recommend this place to anyone. Simply never again.

This place is the BOMB! My new favorite Jamaican place. Not many Jerk establishments do the jerk pork justice (many dont even offer the pork), but the jerk pork here is tender, not too tender that its falling apart, so flavorful, so tasty, with a nice mix of lean and fatty cuts. The oxtail is amazing (dont forget the extra gravy), and the curry goat is tender with a bit of chew and, again, great flavor. They even offer some simple salads so you dont feel so heavy. If you like spicy, dont forget the little in-house scotch bonnet pepper hot sauce cups. They are fire They take card, and you can get the jerk by the pound to feed a family. Take out only, no bathroom. Parking: Free parking in the plaza Wheelchair accessibility: No problems for wheelchairs.

Jerk chicken is incredibly flavorful, perfect amount of spice and nice and smoky. The numerous times Ive went Ive always gotten two drumsticks and two thigh pieces; this consistancy is very nice. Rice and peas is perfect, flavourful and not too dry or moist. Oxtail is top tier. I could eat just the sauce with rice and peas for days. Similar flavor to the oxtail at the now closed Tastees location @hwy7&Leslie. Fry Chicken was nice and crispy yet still moist and very flavorful. Reasonable price considering the portions. Ive yet to find a better spot for quick serve Carribbean food
