Reviews of Caribbean Flavas Restaurant & Catering (Restaurant)

Jennifer Shank

This place is amazing! The nicest people, the best flavoured food, great atmosphere and humor!

Natalie MacDonald

Awesome people and food! I have a food allergy and since the dishes aren't already prepared, I could really have anything! Staff was lovely and I would recommend them to anyone!

Rachel Clark

Today was my first time eating from here. I got the curry chicken wrap, & it was delicious. Actual, real spice, great flavor, and the roti was fantastic. (I think it was homemade?) Nice decor in the restaurant, and the staff were friendly & personable. One of my new favorite restaurants in Fredericton.

Amazing food the iced tea is so good!!!! Customer service is awesome ! Would recommend

Darryl Kent

Caribbean Flava's recently provided breakfast for our Business over Breakfast that we hosted with the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce. The quality of the food was top notch and the menu selection was creative and delicious. We had about 40 people at our event and the feedback from our guests was great. I would recommend booking Caribbean Flava's for any catering event, and I will book again if the occasion arises. PS- the coffee was incredible too. Thank you!

Anna S.

All the staff are so friendly here! Our waiter made us feel so at home as soon as we arrived. Besides the great service they also have great food! I highly recommend this place for spicy food lovers and those just looking for something new to try!

Excellent food with beautiful presentation.The prices are very reasonable. I love their chicken jambalaya.Its really delicious.Thier lamb and chicken apple curry are fantastic.Worth trying ,time and money.

Brenda Perrin

The food and service are phenomenal! The only thing that has kept me from using this place more often than I do is that (a) it's not licensed, and (b) because it's been under renovation. Can't wait to go check out the new look!

Bryanna Thurston

I surprised my man and brought him in tonight with his eyes shut and we had an AMAZING time! The food was amazing, everything was beautiful and tasted great. Wonderful customer service, we had a dinning experience not just a meal! Would highly recommend for great food and great company to be around ! Thank you Guys! We will be back ☺️

Tyler Henry

Food was delicious and owner very friendly. There's a reason they've been around so long.

Lisa Daly

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Fredericton. The food is always amazing and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I love it!

Ahmed Iqbal

GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND! Chef Naz ensured that my brother's birthday was one to remember. Birthday planning from Singapore could not have been any easier. The quality of the food was exceptional. The samosas were a hot favorite. Will order again!

Daniel Macdonald

Not very good customer service, I went in to eat about half a year ago. I was seated and made my drink order, but my drinks didn't arrive within 10 minutes and I never got to make my order for food, so I just left. Hopefully it's better now, but at the moment I have poor faith in this establishment.

Brandon Elford

This place is amazing! Got my wedding catered here, and it was great! They were so helpful in such short notice, and even called us afterwards to make sure everything was okay. Above and beyond. Also, looove the "surprise dishes"!

Kim Rhindress

We had dinner here tonight looking for some spicy food that was gluten free. Being real fans of jerk spice and curries, we were delighted to find Caribbean Flavas! We shared the jerk chicken and chicken curry with cashews and coconut. Both were extremely flavourful with generous portions. It is such a relief to know that everything there is gluten free except the naan bread and coconut cake! We were amused to hear the spice levels which began with “tingle” and ended with “double cry”. Haha The owner, who introduced himself as Papa was very friendly and informative about Fredericton. Chef Naz spoke with us and went out of his way to introduce us to friends of his who were visiting. A very welcoming and unique gluten free place to eat in downtown Fredericton. we were so glad to find it!

Richard Reeleder

Excellent quality. Recommended

Lisa Evong

It was delicious and I liked the atmosphere but it was over priced. It didn't seem kid friendly even though it has a kids menu. A tiny pizza and seriously 6 fries cost $10.99 for my kid! No drink or anything included. Small portions for the price. Owner and staff were very nice. A suggestion would be to lower the price of the kids meal and have crayons and paper available for the kids so that the parents can enjoy their time.

Colin Watts

Had take out from here and it was incredible. Service was great and food was amazing. Totally worth the price for the quality of ingredients they use. I've eaten many places across Canada and in the USA, this place is one of my favorites. I cant wait to go back.

Asma Shaikh

The owner is such a delightful person! I have also never tasted better Bbq flavored wings and chicken kabob roll!

Ben Graham

The worst part was trying to decide what to order. Excellent and personalized service from the moment I walked in to pickup my takeout. Very friendly and welcoming environment. Food was amazing and and a nice change of flavor. To top off the exceptional experience, a follow up call asking if I enjoyed my meal! That was first for me! Highly recommend you visit this local gem. I know my next visit will be in person. Until sometime soon Caribbean Flavas!!

charlene “cmg” gordon

EXCELLENT, authentic food, service and friendly atmosphere.. can't wait to go back

Andrew N. Byrne

It is so nice not having to cook for myself for a change! Enough for 2 OR in my case, 2 meals for 1. The slightly spicy lentil soup of the day and the Cajun southern fried chicken (Cry level of spice) with corn rice and coconut garlic mashed was exactly what I needed. The type of spicy that clears the sinuses, makes you sweat, and also feel amazing while still retaining flavour. Crazy spicy and super flavourful. They now only do delivery and pickup because of COVID-19, but they maintain a safe environment and to give you a little taste of their great in-house service, they even call you after to thank you and make sure the meal was great. THANK YOU Caribbean Flavas for being so great and reminding people of the many benefits buying local provide.

Michael Kuehne

This restaurant is a cut above. I haven't had a restaurant make me feel so welcome and at home before. The staff are all genuinely happy and you can tell they love what they do. Not only is the food quite tasty but if you let them they will get creative and make you an original dish. I highly recommend this establishment!

Mark Melbye

Delicious! Most authentic ethnic food we've experienced since moving too N.B. As soon as you step in you can smell the wonderfull scent of spices in the air. Had the slow roasted beef rib on the bone, jerk chicken and apple cinnamon lamb shank. ALL great. Hosted by Naz made for a lovely meal.

Holly Campbell

I went in on a whim, had a wonderful conversation with the waitor, who I willingly let choose my entire meal, down to the drink. Everything was outstanding, couldn't have chosen better myself. I highly recommend, and will be back.

Sophie CT

Very good. The jerk chicken is delicious! Will come back!

Mike Law

Amazing food. The dishes are creative and delicious.

Jonathan Adams

Great food, especially the curried chicken and the lamb. Local and tender as you can find. When choosing spice level they mean business, a tingle means a tingling, and a sweat means a sweat! Great host as well

Naz F

This place us bursting with flavour! I couldn't stop eating because my mouth was in love. Would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Pierre Mullin

Great to Feast @ Flavas again after a two-year absence from Fredericton! Highly, highly recommended.

Julie

Can’t travel because of the Pandemic?!? Takeouts from Flavas will make you feel you’re in Tobago. The typical Caribbean flavours and quality of food is amazing. The owner personally called me back to get feedback, which means a lot in the industry. I only have positive things to say about the Shark and Bake. Thanks so much for this excellent food, you made my day!!! Will definitely stop again when I am in Fredericton.

Shri Bhogs

It's an amazing place to dine. Great food and service

Clay Cochrane

Absolutely amazing. What a great evening. We asked to be surprised for our meal and got to try their new ribs. Delicious. My new favourite restaurant in Fredericton.

Kristopher Bone

Fantastic food, and very possibly the friendliest service in the province. Every so often, I will see Chef Naz on the street, and he always has a minute for a little chat--awesome family and awesome business. If you haven't been here, go!

Kimmy M

Once again me and my husband were not disappointed with this place. Not too many places are involved with there customers like they are. You are made to feel welcomed from the time you step in the door til the time you leave. The food was great, I love how each dish can be adjusted to how spicy you like it. Even brought my husband a birthday desert and sang him happy birthday.

Keith Stiles

Amazing food and stellar service. We walked in and the owner said "welcome home", then proceeded to make us feel like it was home. Will definitely be going again, over and over.

Timothy White

I went for the brunch on Saturday. Naz was welcoming and engaging. His hospitality was only surpassed by the authentic tasty food! I will definitely return the next time I'm in town. Hey Naz ... open a spot in the GTA, you know you want to! #YouGottaEatHere

Jim Gilbert's Wheels and Deals Used Cars

Like wow.. tasty or what? I will be back.. the atmosphere and decor are amazing. The owners and team are all Huggable..and the food was so so tasty.. hugs Jim

Thomas Hong

Good food, unfortunately the business closes and opens whenever they want and are unreliable if you want to eat there. Always call ahead of time to see if they’re actually there because they probably aren’t

Fred Smith

A wonderful place to spend a moment out of a busy day and relax. Amazing food, even better hospitality. I think I've found my new favorite spot. :). Highly recommend - and my lunch date was a very delighted vegetarian, with all the choices available.

Gaetan et Denise Gauvin LeClair (DeniseGaetan)

Incredible food and the welcome was superb. The food was excellent and I like the choice of the spicy level. Mine was spicy but at the same time did not loose the flavor. Really good and it's a must if you go by Fredericton. Plus, they have a celebrity there. Go there to found out :)

Chris Stapleton

Great food and is open during Covid-19 for takeout. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the food.

Kristian Barkemeyer

This is THE BEST restaurant in Fredericton. Every time I visit family from out west I make sure to go. Every dish served by Naz is honestly amazing. Ambience is awesome and staff is friendly and ready to explain anything. This is a must stop if traveling through Fredericton. It is closed Sunday and Monday be aware though.

Vinol345 uiop

Host was amazing. Food was excellent. Ambiance is great too. My only critique is that I found the menu a little confusing. I would definitely recommend this place and would for sure return!

Lora Foster

Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff (who love surprises and gifts). Caribbean Flavas has excellent appeal for those accustomed to the diversity of flavours found in multicultural settings like Toronto or Ottawa, combined with the small town friendliness that the Maritime is known for. Although their menu is small it has been well tested and you are sure to find something to please your palate.

Marco Kelly

Visiting Fredericton from Halifax. Being from the Caribbean (Barbados,) I thought I'd try Caribbean Flavas and ordered the Roti. I love Roti and haven't had one in a couple of years as I haven't been able to go home. It arrived and once I opened the wrapping, I was transported. I bit into it and was in heaven. It was very hot (temperature), and I kept putting it down and telling myself to let it cool a bit. But I couldn't leave it alone. Such a good roti and Mama's Double Chocolate Brownie Balls was the perfect treat for after. Will definitely order again. May stop in on my way to Saint John tomorrow for another! :D

Kelsey Kliparchuk (Klip)

Best restaurant experience with the warmest staff. It feels like home! Their iced tea... 10/10, coconut shrimp... 10/10.... music and vibes.... 10/10! Can't wait to visit again ????

Iffy S

Papa Flavas was a welcoming host. We were visiting from Toronto and looking for a halal place to check out in Fredericton. We ordered the jambalaya and the chicken wings. The jambalaya was ordered with the "tingling" spice level and we found we could have gone with more spice. The chicken wings, with a customized order of a pineapple BBQ sauce was our favourite. Definitely a must visit restaurant if looking for halal cuisine in Fredericton.

Shoshawnah Lautenschlager

Amazing restaurant, delicious food, fantastic service. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you are in Fredericton this is a must eat!!! :)

Saad Butt

Amazing food!! That lamb was blessed. I tried some of my friends steak... And it was the best steak I have had compared to the many Ive tried in Toronto. Service was courteous, friendly and funny.

Soph Doiron-Desharnais

I love this place. We stopped in for lunch and had the coconut bread, wings, and curry chicken wrap. Everything was delicious and the service was super friendly and professional. We'll be back for more food and iced tea!

Norbert Aschenbrenner

Spicy means spicy. We were on a stop in town on a long trip in Canada and we were not disappointed by this nice restaurant. The owners really care about their guests. The food was very tasty and, well spicy. I can recommend this restaurant very much.

Martin Trepanier

This restaurant is a true taste of the islands. Mama and Papa, the owners, were amazing hosts. The quality of the food definitely showed how much pride they take in their recipes and restaurant. Both the food and the service were exceptional. I highly recommend this establishment! I had: Samosas, Jerk Chicken, and the Blue Mountain Coffee.

Ashley MacArthur

Totally LOVE!! This place! Food is fabulous the hardest part is choosing what to have so going back is a total must. The staff and owner are absolutely fantastic!! If the food isn't enough to bring you back the hospitality certainly is!! My husband Josh and I had a fantastic time much love to the owner for all the laughs! Go check this place out for a most awesome time!!

Eddie Brock

Portion wasn't good. Mac n cheese wasn't special. Hummas wrap was underwhelming. There are other places to eat at for better portion sizes.

Bob

What a great meal for a cold day. The owner was super friendly and the dishes were delicious!

Myrla Dabady

Best restaurant in Fredericton. My family and i went there couple years ago and everything was perfect. The food, the greeting.wawww!! Its a family restaurant. The dad was our server and he came every minutes to ask if everything is ok and we also had a long conversation. We really need more people like that for our costumer services. Even the chef (Naz) came to say hi. Thanks again for making us confortable while enjoing our meal over there. I'll definitely go back.

Brenden B

I decided to try something different today, rather then getting the average burger and Fry. Wow am I ever impressed. I called in a take out order and was pleased that the man on the phone cared about what I wanted as a customer and even called me later that day to make sure the meal was satisfactory. When I got to the restaurant I was offered a tour because I was a new customer. I got to hear about all the great causes they support in our community and about the famous people who have eaten there; Sean Paul , Snoop dog and Leonard Cohen to name a few. The friendly staff there are second to none. Now for the best part , the food. Wow was I ever blown away by the variety of flavas. I ordered the Jamaican jerk burger with mango salsa and curry onion rings and decided to try the beef samosas with the spicy dip. Every bite was an experience , the onion rings were to die for. It was an on the go meal that left me wanting more . I will definitely be coming back to try something new off the menu. Thanks for a one of a kind experience in our tiny but beautiful city!

Jacob Akrouche

Amazing food, and the best service! Ordered the apple lamb, samosas, and naan. Also had a great chocolate dessert. Will be back.

Kristin Thurlow

Did takeout. The flavours! Amazing!

Snack Cakes

I just enjoyed the chickpea curry with rice, it was unbelievably tasty and flavourful! Plus I managed to mess up my order twice but the staff was extremely understanding and accommodating. They even ended up giving me the dinner plate instead of the lunch. Highly recommended! Also really gooood music and comfortable patio.

John Townsend

This family run business is a gem in downtown Fredericton. I don't think there is a more welcoming restaurant in the city. The food is delicious and a good value. As a warning even the mild is spicy for some. A must try!

Sarah R

The Caribbean Flavas staff are always so kind, and they have great food, probably the best in the downtown area. Their food is very unique, and you will not find anything else like it in Fredericton. If you like very spicy food, you will be impressed, and if you want to stay away from spicy food, they will have something for you too. It’s too bad that they have not been back at the Highland games because they were incredibly popular when they were there and definitely provided the most positive experience for those who attended the games.

Evan LeGresley

Some of the best food I've ever had and very nice staff.

Moe Y

Had the jerk chicken dinner, with mamas iced tea, would highly recommend!!! Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go again.

Dawn Rice

Carribean Flavas have to be one of my favourite restaurants in Freddy! Great family atmosphere and food is delicious! Thanks for sharing your love and passion through food. Dawn

Michele Coleman

Your Review I had to have a business meeting catered with only a few days notice, was on a budget and had some dietary restrictions. I went on line to the Caribbean Flava's Catering website, typed in my situation and was pleasantly pleased and surprised by the prompt and thorough personal response with menu options that I received. When I emailed the dinner menu options to the attendees, the response was - not choice A or choice B- but all of it! Our curry selection was delicious and I am still receiving comments on how wonderfully authentic it was. The food was the highlight of the meeting. I would definitely use the CF catering service again because it was quick and easy to order, could be tailored to specific requirements, was delicious and served on time. I highly recommend the CF catering service and their food!

Melanie Titus

We loved the food. The wings, jambalaya and chicken curry wrap. Full of flavor !

San Scrit

LOVE IT ALL! The people, the service, the decor, the atmosphere--and of course . . . the FLAVAS!

J Graham

Had the Saturday breakfast special. Today it was Trinidadian "doubles". SO delicious! Sides of a cheesy hashbrown and Spanish omelet were also great. We'll be back!

Grant Ross

We only stayed for a quick meal but it was a very good experience. Very friendly and welcoming host and staff. Will be going back.

Alessandro Bisceglia

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff who like to laugh and socialize. Perfect place if you want to experiment or try something new as the chefs will take on any creative challenge! So glad we chose to visit for our date night. You'll be treated like family and we highly recommend going.

Chantal Babineau

What a lovely restaurant, good food and friendly service and cosy atmosphere, definitely hope to go back.

Wolfie t

Great food and friendly service.

Leah Levesque

Amazing food and great service! We can't wait to go back. SNOOOOOP

Nick Dowling

The food will make you cry, not because it's spicy but because it is so delicious.

Darron Lyons

Very good food and great service. Not many places make you feel at home like these fine people do. Once again thank you very much for making date night for my wife and I that much more enjoyable.

Allan Macdougall

The 5 star food, and 5 star service made for 5 star experience. Highly recommend!

Fuzzy Kitty

We did take out for the first time there. The person that answers the phone was super friendly and welcoming. He was able to answer all questions about the menu we ordered the curry wrap, jerk chicken dinner and something else can't remember what it was called. We went to pick up the dinner and he had written a nice let message welcoming us to new Brunswick as we mentioned we were new here. The food was just as amazing as the service we will be ordering again soon. Never experienced this over the top service before.

Alex dos Santos

You know how there are some places where you're uncertain about whether its a 4 or 5 star value. This is definitely the top notch 5 star. Good Food. Good Service. Amazing People. Highly recommended.

Matthew Wilneff

Amazing food, amazing vibes. Gotta go here!

Krishna Khaitan

Host is very friendly and will help you choose right dish

Alexander MacMillan

Ordered the coconut bread and the island jambalaya on Skip the Dishes. Everything was delicious, the meat is so tender, and just the right amount of spice. Will definitely eat here again, looking forward to checking out the restaurant in person and trying the rest of the menu

Agnes Uwambajemariya

Great food, great service, friendly environment. Highly recommend to anyone who likes spicy food. You choose your level of heat. Best curried lamb on earth. Also love the Roti on their lunch menu.

justin curtis

The best in nb

Brooke Spence

Amazing food and people. I ordered takeout earlier this evening and they went above and beyond to call and ask how the meal was, even personally thanking me for supporting their business. I’ve never had any restaurant do that before. Very thoughtful :) the chicken curry is also incredible.

Xee Yang-Schell

Our waiter made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in the door. The food was absolutely delicious! I would recommend the tofu wrap and chocolate desert. There is great service here and great food! Definitely would come again!

Sohail Patel

My wife and I and our 2 daughters were one of the last customer's before Naz and family were closing down for once in a lifetime pilgrimage. We were dead tired and hungry when we stepped in, but were full and refreshed by the time we left. Thanks for a great meal and a great time to Naz, Mama and the rest of the staff. The food was incredible and the hospitality even greater.

Mr Feisty

What can I say apart from ZOO WEE MAMA! I recently visited Caribbean Flavas for lunch and had an excellent time. The man who was serving my friend and I was very friendly and funny. I ordered the Island Jambalaya which not only was delicious, but was a good serving size as well. Not necessarily enough to take leftovers home, but enough to have you feeling satisfied. I'm not sure exactly how they seasoned the sausage, but it was out of this world. When ordering the Jambalaya the owner asked us how spicy we wanted our meals on a scale from tingle to sweat. I personally went for the "tingle plus" which was perfect for someone who can handle some spice but is not a spice-meister per say. My friend got the sweat and to my surprise he did not sweat. Whether this is because he is a spice-meister or not I am not too sure, but he did say it was really spicy. I'm not sure if it was the spice or the nutritional value of the food, but the meal made me feel rejuvenated, and well.... ALIVE. It's hard to explain, but not many meals make me feel that way. Two final things to note; Firstly, anyone looking to have a beer or two with their meal should know that Carribean Flavas does not serve beer. This is not a bad thing, but just something I wanted to mention. Second, all the staff were excellent at following the Covid protocols. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back. Sincerely, Mr Feisty

Eric Levesque

Delicious experience!!! I'm not a fan of spice but you opened my eyes papa. Thank you and sorry we had to rush out. Be back soon!!

kirth Gonzales

Truly a taste of the Caribbean

Gerald Blackwell

Travelled from Toronto with two colleagues to attend a conference and managed to squeeze into C Flavas prior to closing. Great host, but sadly the Jambalaya didn't cut it (spicy but tasteless - no chicken). Similarly my associates left most of their food. In order to fill the emptiness we left with Jamaican meat patties (Seriously! Lettuce in a beef patty and the meat resembled a paste?) A $112 disappointment!

Captain Rex

Treated our selves for the first time in months and caribbean flavas was the right choice! A minor hick up with our order but the restaurant took care of it quickly and with exceptional customer service. We ordered wings, wedges, samosas, coconut bread and the iced tea. All were super delicious but especially the wings!

Nunya Beesnes

Absolutely perfect! We were received as if we were guests in someone's home! Flavors flavors flavors!! Amazing authentic food served up fresh by passionate real people! Thanks so much Chef Naz! ????????????

Steve Boodram

Great atmosphere and great people. Found this business while in Fredericton and thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. Food was fantastic and the staff very engaging. Have attended numerous times since my initial visit and intend to do so again. Caribbean meals with a light twist make it both new and established. The roti wrap was great as was the doubles.

Randy Perley

The food is delicious and I recommend it to anyone that wants a taste of the Caribbean. It's my wife and I favorite little restaurant. Also I have to mention Papa, he is the best host any restaurant can have. I love it.

Dave

I go here about 4 times a week. Best food in town hands down and best service as well. You need to go in and try for your self!

Stephanie Murray

I find most of the ethnic restaurant offerings in Fredericton to be a tamed down version of what they can be. However, I do not say this about Caribbean Flavas. With most of their menu options, they’ll ask how spicy you want it, on a five point scale. I’d suggest only going 3 or higher if you know what you are doing, because when they say they’ll make a curry spicy, they aren’t lying. In addition to being spicy, the curries are fresh and flavourful made with a thick sauce, meat, veggies, chickpeas and potatoes. My favourite dish is the curry wrap, which is less of wrap and more of a curry stew served inside a huge piece of wrapped, buttery naan. On the beverage front, the restaurant serves up a refreshing homemade iced tea and french pressed Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee. Service is incredibly friendly, with the owner acting as host and server to the small restaurant.
