Special night celebration for my birthday. The wait staff was exceptional. The menu was diverse and they custom made a pizza for me. The surprise birthday plate and song were appreciated.

Our wedding week was made truly heavenly, thanks to the incredible team at Kalabash Afro Caribbean Cuisine. Paolo and Bonni didn’t just host us; they held our hands through every detail, offering the kind of wisdom and care that made us feel like family. We are filled with appreciation for the entire staff, whose extraordinary dedication made our celebration more beautiful than we ever imagined. Whether for a landmark event or an intimate dining experience, Kalabash is a true gem that delivers pure magic.

Delicious lunch for 8. Great service. Kids loved the pastas and pizza. Eggplant and salad was wonderful as was the lasagne pizza. Would be back. Fresh ingredients. Crusty dough.

First, bring your patience. If you only have an hour before the boat gets going, then perhaps not the place to come to. But with that caveat out of the way, let’s begin. Fairly close walk from the cruise port, the restaurant is on the second floor. Choice is yours for patio or not. The view is pretty nice, but if it’s hot, head inside.
The menu has many options, including pizza. Everything is priced in CI, so be aware of that. I went with a local beer, that was pretty good, the Vele house salad, and the lobster pizza.
The salad was nice and fairly lite. The surprise was the Peruvian Peppers. Really great flavor and went well with the salad.
The pizza was equally nice, seafood was cooked well, crust nice and thin. I like this place. It’s family run with a chef in back and another person up front spinning the pizzas with oven right there in the dining room. Again, the patio views are really nice, you can see the ship and gorgeous waters.

This place took us with suprise! We were the only guests for lunch and that made us a little bit worried and suprised. But Wow! Excellent genuine pasta dishes, pizza with very good crust and tasty vegetarian dish. The sauses were mild but smooth and very creamy. Also great view over the ocean and all the boats. The staff were happy and very welcoming.

this restaurant is a treasure! we were delighted to sit out on the patio, watching the boats go by as we enjoyed our pizza (made completely from scratch) as well as a lasagna (fresh homemade pasta and other ingredients from scratch). our server was fun and friendly, catering to our dietary needs and also offering their homemade chili oil to spice up our delicious meal. If i could eat here every day, i absolutely would. you could truly taste the homemade ingredients in each meal!

A wonderful and quaint place found approximately a quarter mile after stepping off our cruise ship. The caprice salad with the additional avocado was amazing with two wonderful glasses of Pinot Grigio really set the beautiful atmosphere looking over the Caribbean Sea. Anyone on their last leg of their cruise would appreciate this calm, mellow and inviting place sitting upstairs look across at their ship. Loved this place! Too bad I didn’t take a picture of the beautiful presentation of the Caprice salad that I was served. Hope you cruisers find this wonderful gem.

The food was amazing, great location and view, staff was fantastic! Tough to pick favourites, but I loved the Polpo + Patate, and I definitely recommend the Casoncelli. Best dining experience we had on our trip!

We came to this place based on the reviews and SO GLAD we did! It felt like a local place and not as touristy. The food was incredible and the service was great. The views at sunset were beautiful. Would absolutely recommend coming here and will absolutely return on our next visit.

Out of this world! The views are amazing, the food is super tasty and the people are awesome! Perfect place to go if you want to try something new; ask for ugali and tilapia, or their famous oven-baked pizza.
