Karaya Restaurant Cabarete Reviews

Disappointed I am a frequent customer of this restaurant, I have always enjoyed the service and the food but I am very very disappointed today. I arrived a little after 5 pm there was only a couple dining at the time. I believe there were 4 or 5 servers just standing around doing nothing. I sat down and waited to be served, no one came to my table, after 12 minutes I had to ask for a tea and a menu, again I waited for someone to take my order finally the young girl came over but she didn’t know the menu at all, I placed my order with the manager, again waited for a long while for the meal to arrive, normally they would serve some bread while the meal is getting prepared but this time I had to ask for some bread. My food finally came I was expecting a serving of salmon but it was a tiny piece in my plate which was taw with an few shrimps mostly shells no shrimps and a small piece of another fish, again undercooked, my salad was drenched in dressing. I couldn’t wait to get my bill and get out. I don’t mind paying for good food but when I have to throw my money away for bad food and bad service it bothers me.

Great place , great view, must see! Dinner, drinks, and all of the staff were exceptional! The view from the beach and tables were outstanding. And the live music on Saturday night was great as well.

Wonderful ambience, service, and vegan options! Came here for five days and four nights, tried all the main entrees for breakfast, lunch and dinner, favorites included the vegan mangu for breakfast, vegetable soups for lunch, and pumpkin risotto for dinner. Honorable mention for the wok noodles, potential for the Carribean curry and cashew purslane ravioli. Please keep in mind that many vegetables used in recipes are grown organically on site which is wonderful. In terms of service, Emma is a delightful manager who is attentive and gets to know her patrons, she is a great addition to the team. Although there were several servers who were friendly and helpful, Solomon really stands out! While other reviews will compare the food with other restaurants, one aspect which cannot be beat is the vibe and ambience, the beachfront setting, sounds of the waves and relaxing music really makes this a memorable and special place!

Great place for romantic dinner Really enjoyed the food at this place and it was excellent. It is located right on the beach and it is perfect place for very romantic dinner. The service can be definitely better.
