The oxtail was absolutely incredible, fall-off-the-bone tender with the richest sauce. I've had Jamaican food all over New York and The Flava Trap is in a class of its own. Come early, they sell out fast!

Booked The Flava Trap for my mom's 60th birthday and it was the highlight of the party. The food was fresh, hot, and there was more than enough for everyone. Guests are still talking about it. Will definitely book again for my wedding.

We hired The Flava Trap for our company's Caribbean Heritage Month lunch and our team was blown away. Professional, on-time, generous portions, and the jerk chicken had everyone going back for seconds. Perfect for corporate events.

Real Jamaican food, real flavor. I'm from Kingston and this is the closest thing to home cooking I've found in the States. The ackee and saltfish was perfect, and the jerk chicken had the right seasoning. Big up to The Flava Trap!

Used them for my repass and they handled everything with so much care and professionalism. The food was a comfort to everyone there. Generous portions, warm service, and the presentation was beautiful. Thank you so much.
