Careda's Caribbean Cuisine

If you've had great or even ok jerk chicken with rice and peas, DO NOT TRY theirs. You will be very disappointed. The rice was soppy, barely any beans, the chicken wasn't grilled and seemed baked, not burnt enough and the jerk sauce was nowhere to be found. It was missing the sweetness and spices that jerk chicken usually has. It's sad that this is the representation of Caribbean food in an international market such as Reading Terminal.

I went to the Reading Terminal Market location and I had the turkey wing with a double helping of cabbage as my side veggie. All I can say is, the portion was huge and the flavor was fantastic. No wait and they're very friend. If you want something unique and tasty at RTM, give them a visit!

I ordered Rasta Pasta and received this. I don’t know what it is but it’s definitely NOT Rasta pasta .. basically noodles with seasoning, highly disappointed. Would not recommend this place

My food was tasteless. The greens had no seasoning. My jerk chicken had no flavor of jerky at all. The cabbage was decent. But I will never come back.

Got jerk chicken platter with rice n peas and cabbage. No jerk seasoning at all, bland. Rice and cabbage were bland as well. Sorry to say I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone. Best part was the location of being in Reading Terminal Market.

While we visited Philadelphia we sampled this place and a coworker tried the goat it was delicious, I tried their oxtails and I could taste the vinegar, their turkey wings were good as well. So I can’t say the food was awful, bc I wished I had ordered the goat and I would try again.

What a true taste of the Caribbean in Philly, Our group attended a four day conference and ate our way through the Reading Terminal Market. At Careda's one person chose the curried goat and I went for the fried fish that looks like a fish, not filet or fish steak style. Someone else chose a delicious curried salmon that is a new twist for me even though I lived in the Caribbean for 4 years. We spent a while wading through the huge list of sides and went for collards, cole slaw, and candied yams, the latter of which served as dessert.
Great Caribbean food and service.
Wait in line along the food display counters as you view all the options and advance in the line until you reach the order, pay, and pick up counter. Eat at one of the central accessible tables.

First time at reading terminal market and the Caribbean food caught my eye. Enjoyed both beef and chicken patties, mac and cheese and fried catfish. The catfish was perfectly fried and generously seasoned, so much so I went back to get more.

Very delicious.

My mom wanted to support a black business 3 platter for 58 dollars, we got the curried goat with rice and peas and cabbage. Food was trash the goat lack curry the rice no seasoning and the cabbage no flavor and under cook. The only thing was good is the ice tea and coco bread.

I can’t believe this place is rated so low. The oxtail platter with rice and peas was the best I’ve ever had! It was full of sauce

We tried this place on a hum and the last was rude and lacked any customer service. I was hungry and it was after 6 so wasn’t really looking to walk around. They served me burned plantains, the cabbage had no taste, the jerk chicken had no jerk in it. I should have checked the reviews before we tried them. Will not be back.

I got jerk turkey wings that were bland and a little tough.I mean no flavor or jerk flavor at all!!The cabbage was hard I guess under cooked!The black eyed peas were horrible!! They tasted like vinegar,who puts vinegar in black eyed peas smh!!The candied yams were decent but had to many strings in them.I should've known because no one was on line for food but most of the other restaurants were packed.The server was stone faced not friendly at all. she actually told me the yams couldn't go with the turkey and cabbage as a side wtf!! I thank god I could spruce up the food at home but in house diners beware!! Never again!!

The oxtail platter was horrible and tough. I got 3 oxtails and a bone. The rice and beans were dry and terrible. The cabbage was something I didn't want to taste. Lots of vinegar for what??? The phone number is not in service to even contact them. My lady's fish platter was just as horrifying. Cooked on the outside and raw inside. Very disappointing 😞
