I usually don’t leave negative reviews, and honestly this one isn’t terrible. The service itself was fine, friendly staff, clean restaurant, and a nice atmosphere. But the food? Unfortunately, it was a big letdown. I was craving oxtails while in Oklahoma for work and decided to give this spot a try. From the very first bite, I was disappointed. The food had no flavor, no seasoning, just nothing. I should have known when I saw it was “Caribbean American” and not authentic Caribbean cuisine, but that’s on me. The restaurant itself is nice, but the food lacked any soul or passion. Even the cabbage, which is usually hard to mess up, was bad. And the mac and cheese? Just plain disappointing. Overall, I was disappointed.

I’m new here. I actually do not live in OKC, but where I do live theirs no Caribbean food. I was raised around Caribbean’s and love Caribbean food. I happened to be in the city when giving this place a chance: Service was great, quantity was great. But sadly the food was flavorless, I’m shocked reading everyone’s reviews, this place seemed amazing but I didn’t get to experience amazing food. Speant $67 for curry goat with spinach rice, lentils, another plate of oxtails with rice and beans, mac and cheese and cabbage. Also got the beef and chicken patty’s. This was all for me and my husband, both of us were really dissapointed, Food tasted so bland, I never once in my life had to add salt & pepper to CARIBBEAN FOOD. Honestly so disappointed. Ofcourse we had to eat it cause I ain’t spend all that driving and $67 to just throw it away.
I’m just hoping it was a bad day, based on everyone else’s reviews I will give this place another chance.

The restaurant itself was clean, staff was friendly, and seating is limited. Food was very homemade, which was great! I had the grilled fish & it took about 6-12 minutes to make fresh, but it was great. They add onions & peppers. Would love to come back again & try more food!

My family, friends and I have been enjoying Carican for many years now. We've ordered everything on the menu, including catering pans for large family gatherings and work events, and the food has always been a hit! From D.C. to Atlanta, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Ohio, I have always enjoyed good Caribbean food. I go in there with a smile, happy to support a local, small business, and I can always count on being met with a friendly person and great food, especially my craving--oxtails!!

Absolutely Delicious & Authentic Caribbean Food!
I had such a great experience at Carican Flavors! The food is bursting with flavor and clearly made with love. The oxtails were perfectly tender and rich, the curry goat was incredibly tasty, and the spinach rice and plantains took the meal to the next level. Everything felt like true, homecooked comfort food.

The staff was kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I also loved that they offer fresh, all-natural juices—no sugar or preservatives, just pure flavor.

You can tell this is a family-run place that puts pride into every dish. I'll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real Caribbean flavor right here in Oklahoma City!
