This is an old review that I never got to submitting until now - we went back in 2015 and I thought to share our experience. We were passing by Fredericton on our road trip and there were, if I remember correctly, only 2 halal places at that time. This was one of them. It was the best decision we made in Fredericton, to go Naz's Caribbean Flavas.
The decor and atmosphere was really nice (it seemed like it was recently renovated). The washrooms were just super clean (my wife still thinks about them). Naz came out and made us feel comfortable and welcomed in Fredericton. He even made accommodations so we could pray before we hit the road again.
The food was even better - it was fresh and seasoned just right and super succulent. I have never had a meal at a restaurant quite like this one. My wife and I have both travelled our fair share - it's surprising that in a small city like this one, we had the BEST restaurant experience of our lives ... from entrance, to ordering, to being served our food, to eating and then leaving.
One thing to note, is that coming from Toronto, the price to me was a little high. However, even given that, this is still 5 stars from me. It's well worth it!
If you are ever in Fredericton, you definitely want to hit up this restaurant. If I'm ever back in this city, I'll definitely go...
Read moreCame 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...
Read moreI 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...
