Yes, all the 5 star reviews are true (and well deserved). I’ve been eating here with my family for well over 14 years. Everything is delicious : the oxtail, the curry goat, the fish, patties. You really can’t make a bad choice. The desserts and drinks are also spot on. Everything is made with love and the owner, Miss Helena, is sweet and attentive. I will support this business for as long as it stands.

I’ve tried almost every entree on the menu and I am obsessed with this restaurant. I even ordered a variety pack of the dessert cakes and they arrived in a timely manner ! So delicious! 5 Stars !!

I took a little trip to the Island, Jamaica. The restaurant presents happy, culture, and beauty with island music to sway to. Food presentation and aromas are alluring with great herbs and spices of tender meat and vegetables. That rum cake and famous Helena’s mango bread is like no other, and don’t forget your island beverage.. The warmth and welcoming from the women is a feeling of home. A 5-star rating is not enough. I was not disappointed and will return often. Thanks Augustine.

My family and I drove down from PPark tonight to try the Jamaican food at Island Flavors and Tings. It is hands down the best Jamaican food in the area. We had Jerk Pork, Island Fried Chicken, Brown Stew Chicken and Oxtails with rices and peas, yellow rice, cabbage and plantains. Everything was perfectly seasoned and very flavourful. The portion sizes are large. The staff was very nice and the young man on the line helped guide us through the options as it was our first time there. The cashier was very friendly. We tried the mango bread for dessert. It was tasty and moist. Our taste buds are very happy. We can’t wait for lunch tomorrow…

I was very impressed by not only the delicious food, but the friendly service. I am Jamaican so I am very picky about my Caribbean food – The rice and peas were cooked perfectly and the jerk chicken was moist and flavorful. We loved it and decided to use Island Flavors and Tings to cater our family Christmas coming up this year.

Knew when we arrived ten minutes til opening and there was a line at the door this place was definitely what reviews said. They delivered! Wonderful, friendly staff. Many choices of food. Seasoned perfectly (actually better than other Jamaican restaurants we’ve been to) the peas and rice had a little kick to them, so flavorful!! Portion size: ginormous. Mango bread was delicious, can’t wait to try the rum cake. Great for vegetarians and meat lovers alike! Wednesday’s are vegetarian/vegan days. Will be swinging back through for veggie patties and veggie soup. Highly recommend this place!

Great service, good food. Easily, the best Caribbean spot in St Pete, actually the whole Bay area. Consistency, a good variety, and a welcoming/friendly atmosphere is what makes this restaurant the top spot. Unlike many places from Brooklyn to Miami,loads of Americans frequent Island Flavors. It’s cool to see. And it is always good to see the Boss lady working amongst her crew. Respect to all the people working in the front and around back. Continued Success..

Update: Today was different. I tried the Taste of Jamaica and it was not fresh. I had oxtail brown stew chicken curry goat and jerk chicken. Tasted like it was reheated. To top it off there is A HUGE PEICE OF PLASTIC in my oxtail that I almost Ingested! I spent $31 for my stomach to be

So flavorful. The sides were cooked just right, not mushed. This says alot about the care that went into cooking the food.
