The parking lot serves all the businesses in this collection of businesses. The entrance is gorgeous with a big Dia de Los Muertos mural as you enter. The person greeting me is very friendly. The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria. It had a good amount of fruit in it, was perfectly chilled, and not too sweet. We each ordered fajitas. I ordered shrimp. I was able to sub flour tortillas for corn. The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros. They came with three flavors of dipping sauce. I ordered the house made flan. The custard was great! The caramel was burnt. I feel the prices are very reasonable considering this is NYC, and the cost of food now a days. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return to try more of their extensive amazing menu!

I decided to order the wings and those were absolutely delicious, I'm glad I went with the chili sauce and a hard crisp/well done for the chicken. I got the apple martini which is a drink that I've only drank but so many times in my life, but it was honestly made very well and questions were asked while they were making it so that was a plus. My friend had the lychee martini and the empanadas and I tried those as well and those were absolutely delicious. Service was excellent, the space was very spacious as well and I like the overall ambience of the spot. I would definitely check this out again for sure.

The empanadas was a little to crunchy for me. I am use to them being soft but I would've enjoyed it better with a cafesito for breakfast or as a snack but not as an appetizer; was still tasty. The spicy calamari my friend ordered I don't eat spicy but he said it was good. The wingssss...yummy lol. The Red snapper was very good. I had it with white rice and beans and Maduros. My friend had the ultimate meal ... I didnt even get to try it ...see pics

Here's a more formal version:…read more 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. .

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!

Again we waited a good 15 mins for someone to come get our order. When the lady comes she asked if we were being helped, we said not at all and she said oh I will take it I guess since your waiter is busy. After that everything was okay I guess but service was horrible. Food was great shoutout to the chef. Drinks were mediocre. If it wasn't because we drove nearly two hours from Jersey, I would have left after nearly waiting 10 mins to be seated. At the end the server didn't add our food to the check. We were nice enough to point it out but she didn't even notice we have been to the one by the water and it's totally different. My girl is allergic to broccoli and said no vegetables, food still came with vegetables. We asked for bottle water with no ice and lemon. Brought the water with ice and no lemon. We wanted hookah no one ever offered the hookah. Ya tu sabe pero nada gracias a Dios la comida estuvo buena por la menos

I ordered sliced beefsteak (bistec) with side orders of sweet plantains and rice with black beans. The plantains were perfectly sweet and not mushy at all, rice and beans were a little firm but flavorful. I really enjoyed my sliced steak. It was well seasoned though slightly overcooked. I drizzled the delicious chimichurri sauce on all the food. Portions were generous and I have leftovers for lunch at work tomorrow!

Walked in with my date and the entire place was EMPTY. The first thing the waitress asked was…read morewhether we had a reservation. I told her no, considering there wasn't a single other customer there, I didn't think one would be necessary. She then proceeded to seat the two of us at the smallest table in the restaurant. I asked if we could sit on one of the couches and was told she had to "check for reservations." Again, the place was completely empty. After waiting a few minutes, she finally moved us. I then asked if we could have some water while we looked over the menu. She brought ONE Poland Spring bottle and ONE cup... for two people. (I've never witnessed this before) The menu says fries or salad, we never got asked for a choice. From there, the service only got more frustrating. Two different waitresses kept coming to our table seemingly every four minutes, one after the other, giving us absolutely no time to relax, talk, or enjoy the date , all while the entire restaurant remained empty. The whole experience felt unwelcoming, disorganized, and unnecessarily uncomfortable. When a restaurant has virtually no customers, you would expect the service to be more attentive and accommodating, not worse. Drinks are $18 as if it's Manhattan! Smh - Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience...
