The food is great there but they ran out of a few items and service was pretty slow tonight. I've been there before and kind of expect it. I love it there though.

I had to go to another restaurant to eat right after because I was starving after attempting to eat at this spot. Food was awful and seemed stale. Roti on the stacked roti felt like it was 2 days stale. Wings were flavourless and clearly unseasoned. It was a Saturday night and I was expecting a bit of a vibe. 10 mins in they shut off the music. I could hear everyone’s conversations. We had to ask them to turn it back on after it was off for a while. Best thing was the rum punch. Unless you’re going for drinks only I’d avoid this spot. It’s like no one from the Caribbean even works here. 👎🏾

Food was not good at all. As a Caribbean person I will say the food was lacking spice and flavour. Music was vibes though

Ownership of the restaurant changed last year and the changes are substantial. Food and drinks are still good but nowhere near as good as under the previous owners. Service was abysmal. Our table got food all at different times. Entrees came before appetizers. Appetizers came before drinks. Unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Our server was patient and fun, and we were a big, demanding group ;) Love the music and vibe of the dance floor - it’s energetic and inclusive, and seems to attract good folk e.g., I saw a guy bring a very drunk woman a glass of water and it warmed my heart.

My friends and I had such a great time at Calabash! The food was delicious - we shared the veggie curry (which comes with fragrant rice, a beautiful salad and plantains), a side of roti and the coconut dumplings with mango butter (to die for!). The spicy plantain margaritas were amazing - our server added a special touch for us, so that made us feel pretty special. The staff were all so kind. After we left, we went back for dancing later. They played great music and it was a wholesome, fun vibe. The place is highly secure. We felt very safe inside despite it being in the DTES area.
