Caribbean Restaurant in Milton Keynes
Walking into Carumbar in Milton Keynes felt like stepping onto a sun-drenched Caribbean island. The place is cozy and inviting, with a warm, friendly atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The staff were incredibly welcoming, chatting with everyone and creating a real buzz. It's not huge, so getting there a bit early on a busy night is a good idea, but there's some outside seating too.
The menu is packed with traditional Caribbean dishes, and the portions are generous! I saw photos of a perfectly plated jerk chicken that looked amazing, and the reviews rave about the curry goat. They have a good selection of drinks too, which is always a plus. I'd definitely recommend checking out their themed nights if they happen to coincide with your visit.
What makes Carumbar special is that genuinely friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place perfect for a casual dinner with friends, a birthday celebration, or even a romantic night out. The food is clearly made with passion, and it's a welcome change from the usual restaurant fare you find in Milton Keynes. Sophia, the owner, adds a personal touch that really makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a fun, tasty, and genuinely enjoyable dining experience, this is the place to go.

Nice and warm little Caribbean restaurant. The staff was welcoming and the food came right away. The food was incredible. I had curry goat and the size was so big that I ended up with leftovers to take home. The owner Sophia, was so welcoming as well and lovely! I highly recommend it!! If you are around Bedford, give this a try!!
Great restaurant and a more unique offering in the town centre. The vibe is really fun and friendly, with all the staff being super welcoming, even greeting from inside the kitchen. It’s not a massive place so you’ll want to get there early during busy periods if you want a table, although there are some options on the pavement outside for seating. Really traditional menu, both for food and drinks, and the presentation of each dish is great. Keep an eye open for some of the themed nights they offer but I’ll certainly be back - one of my favourite places in the centre!
Amazing doing yet another birthday dinner at Carumbar. It didn't disappoint. As usual the service was friendly and efficient. The owner remembered us and we had a lovely chat before the food came out and OMG portion size and taste amazing!!!
This weekend I just happened to be doing some errands in town centre and as I was walking by this restaurant I could not help but notice the lovely smell coming from it's kitchen. So out of the blue we decided to give it a go to this caribian food restaurant, it looked interesting as it was going to be out first time to try the food from that side of the world. I have to say that we have enjoyed the experience pretty much, everything has been top notch. The atmosphere in this restaurant is really relaxing, with the background music that is there if you want to listen to it but it does not interfere in your conversations, that's really nice. The service was fantastic and they have made a really pleasurable experience. Food was really tasty and me and my wife had generous plates. There are a few beers to choose from, but it is the rum menu what rally makes a difference, we'll try next time. Overall very nice eatery. I like it and recommend it, please give it a go yourself.
I love this place. The food is sooooo good. You think you won't finish your plate but you will. I recommend the pit-stop jerk chicken or any pit-stop combo, really; my friend said the vegetarian combo was amazing. On top of that, the decor is lovely, the vibe is warm and friendly, the staff are super nice, the music and background TV is good (the Muppets were on? loved that) and the rum punch makes everything better. I promise. Also kid-friendly, but I think it would be coolest just going with a group of friends.
