Caribbean Restaurants near Salt Lake City

“I love Caribbean food and have been mussing it since moving to Salt Lake. When a friend told me about Kafe Mamai I was a little wary but as soon as I walked in I knew it was legit from the smell of spices and grilled meat alone. I’ve eaten here twice and ordered the jerk chicken both times. The second time I asked for an extra piece of chicken because I’m a big eater and the chicken is some of the best I’ve ever had (you have to try it to believe how tender it us without turning to mush) After I cleaned my plate the owner brought me another piece on the house just because he liked seeing someone enjoy his food so much. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.“

“This Rumbi's location is fantastic! The food is hot and fresh, and management is always friendly and accommodating. I have never had a problem that the manager didn't quickly and satisfactorily resolve. I enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and friendliness at this location.“

“Surprisingly Great/Fresh Food! We had the blackened salmon entree that came with their house Rumbi salad! We also had the Rumbi BBQ salad with grilled salmon and a side order of tempura shrimp. We'll come back again when we're in the area. It's not a fancy place - you order at the counter and they deliver the food to your table. But it's very clean. Great service too. Cashier explained the menu. We also got our food right away. (My friend also left his hat, and one of the servers ran to the parking lot to give it back to him.)“

“My wife and I both got Caribbean chicken and shrimp. My wife got Rumbi Rice and I got noodles.The shrimp was great, I loved the noodles pineapple salsa and fries (both sweet potato and regular). The sauces were all great.But the chicken…There were some okay parts, but this “grilled” chicken was dry. Parts of it might as well have been chicken jerky, this is consistent with previous visits.Something new this visit, though, was the smell of the chicken… it was just bad. But when I had my wife smell it she said she didn’t smell anything. I had her blow her nose then smell again and she agreed that it was not a pleasant smell.I couldn’t bring myself to eat the chicken, between the dryness and the horrible smell, I just couldn’t.I WOULD have given this feedback in store, but my wife said that would have been mean, so here we are, lol.Would totally eat here again, I just would not get the chicken.“
