What a fabulous little place...had a great night with some fantastic food. You really feel like a local in this lovely little restaurant and you are having a home cooked meal except the food is much much more than that, it is first class, our food was amazing and afterwards the chef came out and chatted with us, he was...

My wife and I dined at Cariba by chance and was thoroughly pleased we did. The service was very good and the place had a family feel to it. The food was also very good and a nice touch was that the chef (owner) came out to speak to people at the end of the evening.

First visited when the restaurant opened in 2008.Surprised then to be greeted by a Barbadian from Huddersfield. We Yorkshire folk certainly know how to look after people. This one could(can) cook as well. Excellent food and service. Well worth a visit and we will be back. Atmosphere was a bit subdued as we picked a quiet night. Eckie Thump!!! (Excuse... More

We had visited this restaurant about four years ago on our last Barbados holiday. It is not waterside, it is small, colourfully decorated in a chattel style building. Our welcome was warm, the barman mixed excellent cocktails, so my wife told me, and the menu looked tempting. We both had lobster spring rolls which were delicious and accompanied by a... More

Just had the best meal ever. The jerk pork is best on the island. Highly recommended. The service is excellent and the food fantastic. We always dine here when on the island and have never been disappointed.

If you want to escape the high priced, smart restaurants in St James and just enjoy good food in an informal atmosphere and setting, then Cariba could be the place for you. My wife enjoyed her chicken satay to start followed by a stir fried prawn and noodle dish, while I had lobster, mushroom and pineapple spring rolls with a... More

Just returned from Cariba restaurant and had to add to the glowing tributes already poured on this establishment. Having been to The Cliff the previous evening and with its excellent surroundings this is the complete opposite, however this does not detract from the excellent service of the staff to the amazing food provided by Glenn the chef and proprietor.

After hearing raving reviews about the food and ambiance at Cariba, I finally got a chance to experience it firsthand. The service from start to end was warm, very attentive and pleasant. The ambiance is lovely and set in an authentic Barbadian Chattel House that is very tastefully decorated with the views of lush garden surroundings. The food scored top... More

If you are looking for a change from chi chi Barbados but still want excellent food with a real local vibe try Cariba! Delicious food and cocktails but best of all Michael the waiter...he is lovely and a real character!
