Caribbean Flavas Restaurant & Catering

I was totally amazed at the fantastic taste and generous quantity of my evening take-out meal. I have enough for two if not three meals. I ordered the mild Hawaiian Leg and Thigh and I was thoroughly impressed with the unique, delicious taste and ample serving of this dish. Would definitely go back and reorder this item. Naan bread was delicious and fresh. The curry wrap was equally delicious and gigantic! Loved it!

Be aware that the combos are only available for takeout, not dining in. The owner explained that to us very nicely when we asked. The decor was really cozy, quite a small place, but you're not squeezed. We ordered the chicken curry (mild option) and it was very good! There's still some spice to it, makes it very tasty. Water refills on point, great service, very friendly and caring waitress/owner. I would go back if I did not live 1000 km away!

It was the best beef rib ever. Because the mashed potatoes and veg were also on point, Beware a nap will surely follow.

This restaurant is amazing and unusual from homeade coconut bread, fantastic jerk chicken, homeade samosas, great salad and to top it off homeade coconut ice cream to die for, and I don't even like coconut! The food is not what makes this place so special though, it's the family who runs it. Mama in the kitchen cooking up magic, the dad and sister serving the tables among other things. You are just so welcome and appreciated and spoiled silly there. You will never have to ask for your water glass to be filled or a dish to be taken way. Just poof, they already did it. 100 star service out of 5 stars.

Glad to have taken a quick stop at this restaurant during our stay.

Tried their jerk chicken and curry dinner plates. 2 dishes were reasonably sufficient for 3 people with an okay appetite. The owners/staff were very hospitable and polite, which made the experience even better.

If you're in town, you should try their jerk chicken with sweat spice level (head's up, it's actually spicy!)

I liked the food and enjoyed it, I recommend it.

My only concern is that it would be great and more pleasant if they let us wait inside the restaurant. Since there was just one takeout chair, they offered us to go out and return after a while. We were for the first time in the town.

My hubby and I were visiting Fredericton and decided we were in the mood for Caribbean food. What a wonderful surprise to find this little gem. We both had appetizers - coconut bread and coconut shrimp - off to a great start! Yummy. I had the jerk chicken and my hubby had the lamb curry. Both were delicious. Service was excellent. Loved the music. Highly recommend one of the daquiris! Try it out.

I would totally agree that this is one of the best restaurants in Fredericton, NB. Not only the food were amazingly yummy, everyone is super friendly. The owners treat you like families. We all had a great experience. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who's visiting or living in the area.

Nas may just well have written the textbook on customer service at front of house. I never leave this place without a huge smile - an absolute gem of a person.

The food is outstanding. Get a curry roti or the quarter jerk chicken plate. And don't be cavalier with the heat scale - "sweat" will make you sweat.

Had a great first experience tonight with lovely service and amazing food! Will definitely be back

Came for the dine-in Freddy promotion and regret that choice.

To start the portion sizes are minuscule. If you're hungry don't expect to be full when you leave.

A breakdown of the course:

Appetizers:

Veggie samosa: You get one, with a sauce drizzled over, nothing special 2/5.

Meatball duo: You get two meatballs with half an olive and some naan bread. Decent flavor the sauces were original but lacking in size. 3/5

Main Course:

Curry: Watery/ not flavourful and honestly just lacking. 2/5

Alfredo Pasta: OIL SO MUCH OIL, I'm not sure what the idea is behind this dish but it was oily with a weird combination of flavors and dry chicken. 2/5

Desert:

Cream Puffs- Fine, tasted potentially not made in-house. 2/5

Macaroons-  Tasted ok, sorta bland 3/5

Customer Service: 3/5

Overall the feel was a little off, and the service was friendly but I'm not a fan of being touched even if it's just a pat it's odd in my opinion and the jokes were not great. Can't say I'll be back.

Final Thoughts:
Maybe this isn't their best work, it was a cold night and they just opened but I was thoroughly disappointed in my meal and didn't feel it was worthwhile.

Wow! The moment we walked through the door of this unique restaurant we were greeted with such a welcoming energy! The outstanding service we received continued throughout our entire evening.
The ambiance of this restaurant truly needs to be experienced as it is difficult to put into words!

This place was highly recommended by my NB colleagues, so I had to stop by when I was in Fredericton for only 2 days. Ordered the medium spicy jerk chicken which came with rice, veggies, and plantain. Had a great conversation with the host, while we waited for the food to arrive. The chicken was amazing and had the right level of spice. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu, especially the curries:)

Got a tofu curry wrap. Everything about it was good except the tofu which tasted quite bad. Will definitely get another wrap but with just veggies next time.

Came to Fredericton from Montreal to bring my mother home to rest besides her family in Forest Hills Cemetery. I invited my cousins (one local, 2 from BC) to our AirBNB for diner. Having heard about Naz many months ago and his tour with Leonard, before I left town I wanted to experience his art.

When I called Caribbean Flavas, Naz answered the phone. Being emotionally exhausted I asked if he would select options and prepare a meal for 6. Aside from the food (which was excellent) the big surprise came when he delivered it personally and then recounted a number of culinary adventures with great charm. His warmth felt like family. Definitely Highly recommended.

Stopped in Fredericton for the night driving back and decided to grab supper here. The chicken curry was amazing with just that nice amount of heat. The owners were awesome and personable. If I stop by in Fredericton I will need to come back here to try the other items on the menu

Wow, this was great food. We are vegetarian, and they had no trouble making their entrees without meat. We found this place while hiding out and dodging the hurricane before heading east again, but if the food in this town is all this good, maybe we’ll stay. Montana doesn’t have anything like this!

We were passing through on our way from nova scotia back to ontario. After a couple weeks of eating seafood, we decided we wanted to have some caribbean food. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The owner and his staff are extremely welcoming.

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.

We stopped by because it was a) so close to our AirBnB b) it was well rated c) we like food with a kick.
Wow! The restaurant demonstrates why it has such a high rating right from the start with attentive staff, a friendly host, great food recommendations, terrific appetizer (samosas like you have never had them with phyllo and a spicy sauce), kick-a$$ jerk chicken and a spicy veg and chicken jambalaya.
The heat choices are tingle, sweat and *breathing fire* (Seriously, I can't remember the last choice).
Sweat made me sweat alright - between my eyebrows.lol. It was terrific! A lassi was required as a fire extinguisher to take the heat down a notch so I could continue to enjoy!
You will not be disappointed.
Oh yeah, and the mango ice cream dessert was amazing.
Thanks Mamma & Family!

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!

Excellent food at great prices presented in the friendliest manner imaginable. You should eat here whenever you get the chance.

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!

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.

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.

Went for breakfast (accidentally) and left having enjoyed excellent service, fantastic food, and great conversation. It was my first time, but won't be my last!

Went to get delicious food, got surprised by their new breakfast items! Always a great atmosphere.

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.
