Here's a more formal version: Caribbean Cabana has become our favorite dining destination -- an authentic Chinese-Caribbean restaurant and bar offering an impressive array of traditional Caribbean dishes, including fried bangamary, shark, and oxtail, complemented by a pleasant outdoor dining option. The chicken fried rice was outstanding: moist, flavorful, and carrying a distinctive smoky quality reminiscent of Georgetown's culinary traditions. The butter shrimp was equally impressive, prepared fresh and not over cooked. Let's support this excellent local establishment, which is well-suited for both an intimate evening out and a lively gathering with friends. . read more

The food here is absolutely delicious! I loved that the pepper sauce had great flavor without being overpoweringly hot. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, it is truly worth every penny because the portion sizes are massive. The dishes are definitely large enough to share comfortably between two or even three people. This place has such a wonderful, welcoming family restaurant vibe. The ambiance feels like a little slice of Guyana right in the neighborhood. It instantly takes you back to the country, and I absolutely loved the beautiful paintings on the walls. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow. We visited on a Wednesday for lunch around 1:00 PM, and we had to actively flag down our waiter several times just to place our order and get the check. Overall - Despite the slow service, the incredible food and nostalgic atmosphere make this spot a must-visit. I will definitely be back! read more

I came here to meet family for lunch today. 7 people 2 pm. When everyone was there, the stragglers looked at the menu. 4 people ordered appetizers- fries and combo platter. The 3 guys ordered Carib, one person had Mauby. The combo platter had fried shrimp, fried Banga Mary, some raw vegetables. For my entree I ordered the jumbo pepper shrimp lo mein. Our drinks came out promptly. The jumbo pepper shrimp lo mein had sauteed shrimp in some hot spicy red sauce. The lo mein was tasty. Most of us were full but one couple ordered mango ice cream to share which they liked. A few ordered food to go including myself. Since I had lo mein for lunch, I ordered the boneless jerk chicken fried rice to go. We were there for about 2 hours. It wasn't too crowded. Service was relatively prompt, courteous and professional read more

Pros: big portions. Cons: very saucy vegetables. Fried shrimp tasted like it came from a frozen box. Everything was very salty. read more

My first time at a Guyanese restaurant and I was not disappointed! Jenna was an awesome server, there was also a photographer but we didn't take advantage of it this evening. Everything was filled with flavor! The mango chutney and peppa sauce offered on the side were delish! Love love loveeeeee! Definitely coming back The ambiance reminded me of a buffet style seating arrangement but we were served. read more

I visited on a Sunday evening and was seated immediately, which made a smooth start to the experience. Keep in mind that they close early on Sundays around eleven, so it is worth planning your visit accordingly. The food was acceptable, but there were a few areas that could be improved. The boneless jerk chicken was more chewy than expected, which took away from the texture and enjoyment of the dish. The rice was also fairly bland and could have benefited from more seasoning. read more

This was an awful experience, after walking in we were asked indoor/outdoor seating , we were seated in their backyard style tables which were sticky and unstable. We waited for about 20 mins no one came out so we went inside and asked to be seated i doors. We ordered pepper shrimp fried rice and chicken lo mein and steamed shrimp wontons. They food was cold and tasteless. The one star is for the sprite. A noooooo for me. read more

Great spot to grab a late night Caribbean meal with a huge menu...Also a club attached which we didn't try but it looked like a vibe. Perfect for large groups and I loved that there was enough staff to cover all of the tables. The food was plentiful and drinks were huge and strong.. read more

Food so very delicious. Sorry no pictures. Ordered chicken with house special fry rice. Then an order of Lo Mein with Beef. So delicious. Very kind when you call to put your order in. When you pick your very kind customer service. Clean atmosphere. Parking on the street. They have a big spacious party hall attached and yard as well. Covers all occasions, corporate and brunches. The restaurant itself is big for various party sizes which I loved. We're always looking for spots for our meetings. Price ranges is average for food. You know me I love businesses that works with the community and they do. I just collaborated with them and did a Diabetic clinic for the community food was healthy and delicious. read more

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered from this restaurant through DoorDash and it was a complete waste of money. The food arrived looking sloppy, smelled awful, and tasted even worse. It was so nasty I couldn't even finish a single bite I'm seriously considering reporting this place to the health department because I don't know how they think it's okay to serve food like this to people.completely unacceptable Never again -- save your money and order somewhere else!" I really wish I could give zero star "I honestly think anyone who's had a bad experience with this place should be reporting them to the health department. The food is unacceptable and could seriously make someone sick. This restaurant needs to be shut down or put out of business before it harms more people read more

I haven't had black pudding all year and was pleasantly pleased by cabana's serving last night. It was fresh and tasty. The roast lamb fried rice was also delicious (as always) and the service was efficient. We sat outside which had a nice a vibe and I was excited to hear they offer hookah but unless you're sharing it I couldn't see myself paying $50 for myself. Regardless this was a way better visit than when I've visited after the club around 3am, I'm glad I chose this place for dinner before the club. read more

A Caribbean Chinese dinner under the train tracks. Looking into the restaurant, it looks closed because of the dark windows, but it surely opened. The interior is simple with opened space, placed with table and chairs. Sat down and had a spread to share. Order the chi cha chicken and it's amazing, tender, juicy and crispy. The combo platter has an assortment of fried food, including fish, tenders, wings, and shrimp. For the entree, we got curry duck with dal roti, oxtail with peas and rice, house special rice and noodles and jerk chicken. My favorite was the curry duck. I love the dal roti sopping up the curry; but be mindful of the bones. The sorrel was refreshing with a strong clove taste. The service was friendly and informative. We asked for the surprise birthday cake and the waitress knew the secret code and added a Caribbean birthday song. read more

If you want some banging Lo Mein and delicious chicken corn soup then this is thee Spot!! I ordered the Jerk Chicken Lo Mein but was EXTREMELY underwhelmed by the jerk chicken strips..they did not taste anything like jerk chicken strips in my opinion..the chicken tasted like soggy fried chicken chopped into tiny strips. But the Lo Mein definitely made up for that. It was delicious enough to be eaten without any meat. The soup was also amazing! Perfect consistency and flavor..I regretted not ordering a large! read more

Place seemed to turned things around from when I went here 9yrs ago. Food was pretty good and it was packed with patrons dining in. Had chicken fried rice, butter fish and roast duck. All made fresh and tasty. Some of the cocktails were a bit too sugary for me. Headed next door afterward as they have bar lounge for some drinks, played good music and dancing with the wife. read more

You get what you pay for. In terms of a last minute group setting this is an alright place. The food isn't that great but as I said - convenience. The tiramisu wasn't great either. Complaints at our dinner was that the curry snapper was filled with Geera. The Lobster tail has no flavor and the pepper sauce was so weak so it couldn't flavor it. The presentation of the food looked good though & the service was good. Their Tiramisu isn't authentic & was mid. read more

Today is my last draw with this place. What it used to be is no longer, do not follow simple instructions , taste , quality is just in the gutter, I'll refrain from showing the pics. This bothers me a lot cause I'm been a customer from the day you opened. In today's world, I'm so disappointed and embarrassed to recommend here to anyone. To the owners of Caribbean Cabana , pleaseeeee "Fix it" Thank You read more

This was my first time at Caribbean Cabana and my experience was spectacular. The service was very professional, Usha was our waiter and she was very patient, open, and honest. We were a table of 7 and she catered to us all. The service was very fast, the food and drinks were served within 10-15 min after ordering. We tried the lamb pudding, roast pork, chicken fried rice, house special lo mein, house special white fried rice, and duck curry with dhal puri. All of the dishes were really good, my favorite was the dhal puri and house special white fried rice. The only thing I recommend is to make the lamb pudding a little more crispy and the duck curry needs a little more salt, it was on the bland end. The duck meat was tender and juicy, the curry taste was there but it was lacking salt. The mango sour was very flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and will be returning again. read more

I went to eat there on a Thursday afternoon @ 2pm. The restaurant had 2 sets of couples inside dining. My husband order the snapper curry and I ordered the roast pork fried rice. The fried rice came to the table room temperature. Not even warm. I was quite disappointed. If you go to a restaurant and order food there to dine in, you should receive your food at least warm, if not hot. The staff was very friendly and polite. The snapper curry was at least warm & very tasty. When we asked the waitress why the pork fried rice wasn't warm she said because they had a lot of takeout orders, and they were very busy in the kitchen. To me, that's an unacceptable answer for someone that dining in a restaurant. read more

Favorite restaurant to go to when i am craving guyanese food. Honestly the food is top notch amazing and the drinks are good as well.

This place came recommended by friends who have tried a number of other Guyanese/Caribbean restaurants in the area. Took some friends who were trying Guyanese food for the first time and they enjoyed it. Obviously, it was on an absolute basis as they had no other to compare to. However, food was good. Had the chachikai chicken and fried fish for appetizer- both were delicious. Equally good were the duck, goat and snapper curry for main courses. Fried rice was ok, can be vastly improved. Dhalpuri was cold but was well seasoned. Service was fine. Service at Guyanese restaurants can be super idiosyncratic- hit or miss . Decor is super dated. Not sure what they were going for but at least the food was good. read more

I haven't came to this place in ages! Food and drinks is excellent! I enjoyed my dinner !

I was surprised how cool this place was. Let's start with the following: The restaurant itself- pretty big, but since we were a party of 14, they kinda squeezed us into a somewhat cramped spot... after asking if we can get a bit more space, they rearranged some seats and table and had a bit more space to move around. Drinks- I kinda started a trend for our table and ordered some mango mojitos, which were super tasty and wasn't strong for those weak drinkers at the table... I still pat myself on the back for that one. Food- I love me some Guyanese/Asian fusion food... I ordered the boneless jerk chicken chow-mein... I love noodles and I love spicy jerk chicken... it was delicious. Everyone else loved their food as well. Dessert- we brought our own cake (it was a bridal shower dinner) which they held for us until dessert time. The lounge area was amazing. Great music! Great spacious VIP bottle service/ area. Will be coming back for food, drinks and dancing! read more

This is my late night goto spot for Guyanese cuisine. The food and service is very good.

Awesome joint for some delicious Caribbean food, it was quite a delicious treat mix of Caribbean and Chinese food. I got a fried rice dish online for pickup. Although it took a little longer maybe total about 15 minutes of wait as they didn't get my online order in right away, the wait was definitely well worth the wait. The waiting area is quite spacious too so its a good way to avoid the bad weather outside while waiting. The portion was quite large and delicious for about $12-13 I definitely had enough for 2-3 meals out of the single order. Along the Jamaica Ave in Richmond Hill area this is a quite a yummy choice. A little harder to find parking spots around here unless you head to one of the residential side streets. But definitely worth a visit especially you wanted to try something new like I did. Definitely won't be disappointed. read more

We stumbled upon this little gem on Jamaica. All staff are practicing healthy and safety protocols. They require mask upon entering. We were greeted upon entering and seated in their spacious backyard patio. It was decorated with palm trees and colorful paintings.They had music playing as well. Ashley was our waitress. She was very attentive, professional and friendly. We ordered cabana punches and Long Island ice teas to start. The drinks are pack a punch! You will not be underserved here. For appetizers, we ordered the fried shark, fried calamari and jerk chicken wings. The shark was tasty, the calamari was fresh and the jerk chicken wings were finger licking good! Before getting to the entrees I had to try "You, me & Henny" drink! Oh boy, I have no words that drink is awesome from the presentation of blue and green with a mini bottle of Hennessy to top it off to the flavors. We moved onto the entrees where we had salmon with vegetables, curry, lobster tail with baked potato and jerk chicken lomein. The food was delicious and flavorful. Ofcourse I wanted to continue to the party so we got a tropical fish bowl which was perfect! It was not overly strong or too fruity. They do have hookah here and yes I ordered and yes it was great and long lasting! You guys know what is coming next because I can't leave place without? That's right guys...dessert I ordered the red velvet and vanilla ice cream. Dessert was okay . Will I return here? Yes I will! Thank you for stellar service read more

Felt like having some fried rice late last night and they didn't disappoint. They close at 11:00pm which is great considering the times you live in now. The five star is solely based on the chicken fried rice, I'm not sure about the other stuff. The rice was flavored well and not hard but a good consistency as it should be. They mixed in long beans (bora) and cabbage which gave a small crunch in every mouthful. The chicken was seasoned, not salty and cooked to perfection. Overall it was tasty and hit the spot. read more

My guayanese friends took me here to eat. First, place is beautiful inside dining area and immaculate with good attentive waitress named Sherry. Second, food was wonderful and large plates served. Third, I had a White Russian that I hadn't drank in about 40 years. It was awesome that I didn't even finish it cause of its power. Finally, the bathrooms were very clean and several families were present eating also. There is a large outdoor eating area for the summer and a private party room. There is also a separate bar room with an average size circular bar with current music playing. This place is a gold mine. It is easily assessable by public trans but we drive. Parking is impossible on Jamaica Avenue so you'd have to search for parking on side streets. We went on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't difficult finding parking on side streets but I bet it'd be a hardship finding parking @ night. The food was seasoned just right and it was the first time that I ate fried rice which was nothing close to Chinese fried rice. It was a Caribbean fried rice with the taste of ginger and other Caribbean spices. I enjoyed it. I am sure that I'll be returning here when the weather gets warmer. I'm ready to eat outdoors and move to the music. I am so happy that I shared another culture's cuisine today. read more

This was an amazing experience. I went with my wife and we had Shrimp Lo Mein, Vegetable fried rice and Shark.

This is my FAVORITE local restaurant! I discovered this place last year when another restaurant (Crazy Willies) on this block treated my party very poorly on the night of my brothers birthday - the racial tension was so thick and they were EXTREMELY unwelcoming. Fast forward to looking for good local eats - CARIBBEAN CABANA!!! This place is a GEM! Not only is the staff so courteous, professional and welcoming but they made us feel like family! We went back the other night for my brothers annual birthday/ Mother's Day dinner and the staff blew us out of the water this time ! The wait time was great given the holiday rush but there's also a whole lounge on the other side so we spent our 5 minute wait dancing next door in their lounge area. The management team checked with us periodically to update us while preparing our table and we didn't even make it halfway through one of my favorite songs before they were ready for us. The food is great ! Our server was Alicia and she was amazing ! Alicia had great hospitality and gave great menu recommendations (she even let my mom hug her in her brief moment of tipsy gratitude)! Hahaha. I ate the jerk lamb, butter fish, surf & turf, shrimp, fried/white rice and it was ALL great! The drinks are worth the visit alone - sweet and strong is my preference! Check out my pic with my Melon Goose, the glass was bigger than my face! Raj was also amazing! The entire night he made us feel warm, he was so respectful and professional! He even brought shots over for my party and made the night even more (or less hahaha) memorable! I LOVE CARIBBEAN CABANA! read more
