10 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Oakland

“I got this delivered via Caviar so can’t speak to atmosphere (I think it’s a ghost kitchen maybe?) but the order was fast as heck and legit one of the best meals I’ve eaten in recent memory.A ton of food, generous portions, and just mind blowingly tasty. I got the pork bowl and every element was perfect. The meat was tender and so flavorful. Every combination of elements in the bowl creates a perfect bite.I can be kind of picky about food and this was a revelation, especially on a rainy winter night.I also ordered the bacon Brussels sprouts but I’m so full from the bowl I’ll save those for tomorrow.The world’s loudest YUM!!!!!“

“I recently dined at Nalo's Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! The highlight of my meal was the oxtail, which was absolutely incredible. The meat was so tender it practically melted off the bone, and the rich, savory flavors were perfectly balanced. You could taste the care that went into slow-cooking this dish to perfection. The seasoning was spot on, with just the right amount of spice and depth of flavor that left me craving more with every bite. Paired with their delicious sides, it was truly a comforting and satisfying meal.

The ambiance was cozy, and the staff made me feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service. If you're looking for authentic, mouthwatering oxtail, Nalo's is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“I had the pleasure of performing a book signing at this welcoming Caribbean Restaurant & Bakery this past weekend. I was blown away by the artistic wall murals, the outdoor decorations and seating opportunities, the inflow of people of diverse backgrounds that came to satisfy their palette with the mouth-watering taste of Caribbean cuisine and tantalizing delicacies. I applaud Chef Ann and her Team for an outstanding job of keeping the Caribbean culture alive in this very quaint section of Oakland California.“

“The food was DELICIOUS!! As a Jamaican, its so hard finding Jamaican spots that are authentic but Flavas get my stamp of approval. I got festival as well and it was nice and fluffy. The only complaint I have was that I ordered on the site and they were having problems so I waited a little long for my food but other than that, their food is great.“
