Wonderful! Nice little authentic and family restaurant, with charming decor. As soon as we walk in, the smell of spices makes us salivate. The service is very friendly, Z was very accommodating to our food preferences and adjusted the dishes accordingly. The spice level adapts according to the tolerance of each. Homemade iced tea is delicious, and the dishes are authentic and comforting. The coconut ice cream was really a perfect finish to this meal!

When we knew we were coming to Fredericton for the weekend, I did a quick search of caribbean style dining and this restaurant came up on my search. The previous reviews and the recommendation we received from our AirBnb host to dine here was enough for my husband and I to dine here our first night in the city. We love good Jamaican jerk chicken and are always on the search for what we tasted on our honeymoon 12 years ago (in Southern NB there are NOT a lot of caribbean restaurants)This one was the closest we've had to that yummy sweet and spicy kick of the Jerk chicken we enjoyed on the beach so many years ago.
You could tell that the family that runs this restaurant are close, they joked with each other and included us in too. The owner said they had been in their location for 19 years but it looked brand new, you can tell they take pride in keeping the dining area clean and tastefully decorated.
The only down side was they are not licensed, a cold Red Stripe would have been delicious good thing the virgin pina colada was just as refreshing.

Amazing food and atmosphere! I've worked with Zi and staff to cater (off-site) and host a couple of business lunches, and they've been so welcoming and accommodating with our groups. We will be back and I encourage everyone to give them a try - they won't disappoint!

Good location , horrible operating hours. Disappointing, the food reminded me of Costco products that they heated up in their kitchen. Slow service , there were only 6 people in the restaurant and 4 of them were finished. The food flavor was almost non existent.
Their marketing was what I would call over selling the product.

Thanks so much.

Food and atmosphere were amazing: We couldn‘t decide what to take because everything sounded so delicious. Therefore we got several platters to share: Curry Chicken, BBQ Maple Beef Rib, Samosas, the Mum’s famous coconut bread together with a delicious caribbean fruit ice tea. The excellent food and warm atmosphere made our family evening perfect!

I live in the city of Fredericton and had heard many great things about Caribbean Flavas but had yet to take the plunge.
I finally did, taking my kids with me, and what a treat it was!
Not being familiar with Caribbean cuisine I opted to place my trust in our excellent host, Zi, for recommendations. I opted for a spicy dish (I believe it was duck) and was very happy with the main dish... To my surprise though my favorite parts were the vegetables! So so delicious they could serve as their own main course. I don't recall what my kids had but they were delighted with the results as well.
The deserts were decadent! :-)
The service was excellent and friendly. Attentive without being intrusive, along with sharing some jokes.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience and I would recommend them to anyone, especially for a date night out.

Stopped in for a dine in lunch on a rainy day. Small to medium sized dining area with nice ambience. I had the 'Shark and Bake'...essentially a Caribbean take on a fish taco. Clever idea/ well executed. The owner/ staff are friendly and willing to chat with customers if things aren't too busy. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal...would recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in Fredericton.

We have been going to this lovely spot for 15+ years. It is a staple for our family outings.
The food is top quality (chicken, lamb, Mama's coconut bread to name just a few) and the welcome is second to none. The owners are also very community minded and support local needs.

Grabbing a chicken roti for lunch here is always a highlight of my week! The owners and staff are very kind and friendly. They make me feel like part of their family :) Not too many places around here that bring the spice like CF does. They've earned my repeat business 100 times over. And if I need something a little more robust than a roti, their jerk chicken meal is second to none. Love Love Love!!!

I am new to Fredericton New Brunswick, I’m originally from Brampton Ontario.
I’ve been to a vast amount of roti shops/west Indian take-out kitchens/restaurants but nothing as classy and upscale as Caribbean Flavas in Fredericton. The establishment's design was extremely stylish with a tropical theme. The service was amazing, the presentation was immaculate and the food was absolutely delicious. Mama’s combination of seasoning, spices and heat brings new meaning to the name“Caribbean Flavas.” My taste Buds thanked me for going there. Mama and Papa are two of the nicest people I’ve encountered since I’ve been here. I will be returning to Caribbean Flavas more often to try different dishes on their elegant menu. “ Wappin’ all yuh? .. come try di food nah!”(in a Trini accent)
I advise everyone to check this place out downtown Fredericton, or as they say here “Freddie.”
Thanks again Caribbean Flavas!!

This family owned business exudes warmth and hospitality. I came all the way from Trinidad, West Indies to visit old school friends and I felt so at home, not to mention enjoyed the tastiest food I had the privilege to indulge in on my entire trip to Canada. Would highly recommend!!!!

There is only one restaurant that I can recommend as the only place I HAVE to eat before I leave Fredericton. I can't say enough about Mama's cooking as I've never had anything but the best meals. I feel their meals are worth every penny. Don't forget to order Mama's fruit drink. You won't be sorry. The atmosphere is amazing as well. It's not one of those dime a dozen go in eat mediocre food and leave spots. Caribbean Flavas is all about the atmosphere and enjoying the conversations that come so easily from your hosts. It's something that sets them apart from the rest. They genuinely want you to have one of the best dinner experiences.

Caribbean Flavas is such an amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious and we always feel like part of the family whenever we go there. My husband and I have celebrated many happy occasions at Caribbean Flavas and my daughter and son-in-law had a pre-wedding dinner there for dozens of guests. Five stars, for sure!✨✨✨✨✨
