    Jerk Chicken with Sweet Mashed Potato
    Julia Y.

    If you are looking for standout flavors and textures, Caribbean Delights is definitely a place to try! The jerk chicken is full of flavor with a crispy outside and tender inside. Paired with the sweet mashed potato's, an absolute MUST to add to your meal, it's a sweet savory bite of the Caribbean. The sweet potatoes are more dense than traditional potatoes, but very creamy. When it comes to the sides, the beans and rice is cooked perfectly and has a subtle yet satisfying amount of seasoning, and the plantains are dreamy with a golden caramelized exterior - truly natures candy. Veggies are a great texture pairing with the meats and rice, as they are crisp and yet warm with spices. The service was not the fastest, but to no fault of the quality of assistance in making the order. They are simply a small business who is often short staffed, be patient. This is hands down the best Caribbean food in Omaha.

    Oxtails

    I'm new in town & the oxtails were hitting. Perfect rice & beans with the cabbage growing on me! Decent amount of oxtails for $25 and the service was quick, patient, and understanding. Ample indoor seating with a nice ambiance and store to buy authentic goods. Drinks were amazing as well I got the bbq jerk chicken as well and it was fall off the bone, juicy, tender, and steaming hot! Be sure to check out my video review on IG _busybri

    The words that come to mind after trying the Caribbean Delights restaurant are home-cooked, delicious eats. Caribbean Delights is a small mom-and-shop-style restaurant that brings the tastes of Jamaica right to Omaha. I've never been to Jamaica, but a friend who is from there also confirmed its authenticity. We ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken, the curried chicken, and the fried plantains. Service was slow, but only because everything was made to order. I tried and failed, to capture the steam coming off the food. The chicken in both meals was so tender, it came right off the bone. The Jamaican jerk chicken was more on the spicy side while maintaining a great deal of flavor. The curried chicken is an excellent choice for anyone who doesn't care for spicy food but still wants all the flavors. The fried plantains were pure perfection, reminding me of the ones my mom would make or those we used to get after school in Togo.

    I love me some curry goat and this place has some of the best I've ever tasted - very authentic. Bone on for that extra flavor, spiced to perfection, and stewed until the meat easily slides off the bone. Friendly service behind the counter. You get the feeling these guys will always bring you food cooked with love. If you're looking for a fancy place, this ain't it. It's clean nonetheless. Come for the food and the love and nothing else.

    The first bite of food blew me away! This place tasted so good. It was cool because the owner knew just about every person by name who came into the shop. It's a quiet chill spot where great food is made. I want to bring my friends and try the oxtail next!

    What I got
    TJ A.

    We were in town looking for something good. Based off the reviews we thought we'd give this place a try. Our experience was disappointing by far. The person working didn't greet us or even thank us for ordering. I'm not fact the only thing he said was "are you eating here?". Ok no big deal, but the food portion was small. I got 5 wings for almost $14. And my husband got jerk chicken. He said the flavor was there, but is convinced they used a frozen chicken breast and cut that in half. I'm glad everyone else enjoyed it, but coming from a bigger city with lots of Jamaican restaurants. We would recommend passing on this one.

    Food was delicious but the serving size is a little stingy, but great atmosphere and nice community feeling.

    Jerk ribs
    Zac D.

    Came for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The first thing you see when you walk in is a fairly large Rasta merchandise area, then the rest of the restaurant. So if you happen to need Rasta gear, this is your place. We got there jerk beef ribs, chicken curry and of course jerk chicken. Each entree comes with a side as well. The flavors were good overall, but not mind-blowing. They seemed to be tamed down, and I'm not sure if that's how it normally is, or if they did that because we didn't look like we could take the full flavor. Either way, if the flavors were turned up, this would have been 5 stars. The beef ribs were tender, as was the chicken. Out of the dishes we got, the curry had the best flavor. Also my favorite side was the fried plantains. The shop is in a random strip mall which you would probably drive by without a second glance on a normal day, but you should make a stop in here to try the food.

    My second time here and it has not disappoint! We ordered jerk chicken, curry chicken, oxtail, beef patty, coco bread, fried plantain, and ginger beer. Being from out of town, this has been by far one of the best Jamaican food we've had both times!! Would definitely recommend as the food is seasoned perfectly and portions proportioned for left overs. Looking for good Caribbean food, go get yourself some Caribbean Delight!

    Oxtail, rice, and magic

    After reading a few reviews, I was intrigued about the food and experience. I knew that oxtail would be my 1st choice but the price might have been a stopper. I caved and I'm glad I did. The meat was tender, well seasoned-not spicy and juicy and there was a good amount of it, even after working around the bones. The rice was very flavorful and with some beans and cabbage sprinkled in, I was more than satisfied. The wait might have felt a little long but from what I could tell, it was a one man show, who had several takeout customers and a few delivery orders in addition to mine and my 2 colleagues. By the way they ooohed and aaaahed over their jerk chicken and curry chicken. In addition to the food there were a number of Jamaican artifacts, clothing, seasonings and rubs hung around or for purchase. Very pleasing experience.

    You have to stop in and try the jerk and jerk BBQ chicken! The price and portions are great and they are so friendly. The lemonade was not amazing but worth a try.

The decor and ambiance are truly unmatched. It's such a fun, tropical escape right here in the Midwest. I honestly wish Omaha had more spots like this. I'd love to come back when they have live music and dancing because I can only imagine how fun the energy would be. Most of the table ordered the Despelote to share, and it was perfect for a group. So many meats and sides, and plenty to go around. I ordered the Cuban Sandwich for myself and was really happy with it. The flavors were spot on, and the fries were super crispy and fresh. My husband ordered the Jibarito sandwich with chicken and really enjoyed it. He doesn't usually go for fried plantains, but he was pleasantly surprised by how much he liked them in the sandwich. We'll definitely be back again soon!

All the food items were full of flavor and really delicious. I had a great time here for lunch and highly recommend

Everything was decent, the Cuban sandwich was missing the roast pork, only had ham and for some reason both sandwiches came out room temp, cheese was still cold which was a little disappointing. I think I'll try this place again when they are up and fully running and have the menu figured out.
