    Jerk chicken fresh off the grill
    Ashlee G.

    Best Authentic Jamaican food I have had since I've been in FL. The customer service was great! The young ladies were very accommodating for me and my children, although the set up isn't really made for small children because they only have high top tables. But my family and I were treated very kind and when I food came it was amazing! I've been eating there 3 days in a row because their food is that delicious. Now I will admit the area isn't my kind of comfortability but the food is worth every visit and the prices are great as well! It's nothing like having great food that doesn't cost a fortune! I've had plenty expensive Jamaican food that is either very Americanized or just plain out nasty on top of rude employees. This place is nothing like that. And they have great customer service! It's a WIN WIN! ‍ extra bonus, they sell Jamaican beverages and beer and wine as well. You can definitely eat good and drink good.

    Hair in food & horrible customer service. I was trying to work with the lil attitude issue and gave them another try. But hair in food. Now that's just plain disgusting. They will not get my business again.

    I ordered the brown stew chicken, based on yelp reviews. Horrible the best part of the meal was the sweet plantains & the Kola Champagne that saved me from chocking on that dry food. The food was inedible, just tasteless and terribly dry. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Not authentic Jamaican food, quite an embarrassment.

    SMALL order of jerk chicken!

Located in a beautiful area of Fort Lauderdale, the waterfront seating provides stunning views and creates the perfect setting for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying a meal with colleagues, as I did, or planning a romantic dinner date, Kaluz offers a welcoming ambiance, exceptional service, and memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, beautiful scenery, and an overall outstanding restaurant experience. Rating: (5/5)

One of us had special requests for her meal, no problem. One of us rolled in 5 minutes AFTER everyone else had arrived and ordered their drinks already, again... no problem. Faith is a superstar.

The menu items also have cute mob and prohibition-era names like "Untouchables Sliders," "Enforcers'Philly," "Bombshell Chicken," and "Zelda's," and "Capone's" salads. I have come for lunch, for dinner, and after dinner drinks; with just my mom, a few friends, and even a group of 14 ladies celebrating a birthday. The service has a little been slow at times, but the food has always been good and all the servers we've experienced have been friendly. I have especially enjoyed the Bombshell Chicken Sandwich and Hideway's Grilled Cheese. (They have several different grilled cheese options and they are all on sourdough bread either an accompanying cup of tomato soup.) The prices are reasonable and they have a full bar and live entertainment some evenings. Hideaway's is a unique experience; and a fun place to gather. It's easy to get to from anywhere in Plantation and there's lots of free parking. I'm hoping that Hideaways is here to stay!

Jaime offered either a complimentary lunch or dinner, or bowl cards that could be used at any location. I chose to return to the Davie restaurant. When I returned, I ordered a bowl with BBQ Chicken and Teriyaki Chicken. I also finally got to try the sweet potato noodles that I had originally ordered, and they were very good. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portion size was generous and filling, easily enough for two meals. Jaime also offered a dessert and a beverage, which I greatly appreciated and enjoyed. While mistakes can happen anywhere, I was impressed by how quickly and professionally the team addressed the issue. Hannah and Jaime went above and beyond to make things right, and the follow-up experience exceeded my expectations. The customer service was outstanding, and it's clear that they genuinely care about their customers' experience. I will definitely be returning.
