Take a look at their calendar as they have many events in the lively downstairs area. Get your laugh or dance on most nights of the night-great vibes !

Order the doubles. Delicious veggie dish . Chickpeas are similar to Indian food . Chicken Jamaican patties are good as well ! Chicken curry bowl is served in a tiffin . Nice, different experience.

The Network Hub

Jerk fish , coconut bun and coconut water ! The live music is awesome - check their website to see schedules of performance . One of the coolest places in the city

Leo Gonzales

Seafood steamer was very good. Came with a side of coconut dumplings that you can dip into the spicy sauce .

Megan Kennedy

Checked out this restaurant before a White Caps game. Their vegetarian platter was delicious, a new favourite.

Get coconut dumplings . If you get 4, it comes with either mango or guava butter.

Really good place and good food. Still craving the oxtail after all of these years.

Roger offers great costumer service. Food is solid. Toss in some music and dark n stormy ..you set! Affordability for what you get is not the greatest though.

The Network Hub

Jerk fish & chicken are amazing!

Dj Rexx

For good food and reggae/dancehall music on a saturday night, Calabash Bistro is the place to be!!!

Jon B

Slow service, but it doesn't matter, because you'll want to stay longer. Get the veggie platter over the veggie curry : way more food for only a small increase in price.

Nadia Nascimento

If you get a red stripe and dance in the cage, you can make a wish to be teleported to st.lucia which quite often comes true. Note: you MUST be doing the butterfly.

There are also sandwiches available but they're not on the menu - just ask the friendly staff . Mm, the bread sandwich is made with coconut milk .

The Fish Curry rocks! It is served in a lunch tiffin and is good for two people.

Coconut dumplings a must

Lareina Hui

Dinner was pretty good. Portion size and quality not up to par compared to the reef. Also, horrible server - as we were leaving, said we owed her $46, but couldn't produce and itemized bill.

Izzam @RegencyAuto

Try the jerk poutine , excellent! Get ready for some spice!

Pitch Ryder

Saturday night, Come by for some great reggae music and enjoy a smooth tusker
