If you have ever dreamt of running away to a Caribbean island – then pop into Banana Jam Café. This vibrant Caribbean restaurant has a breezy, tropical atmosphere – so relax, enjoy the Calypso tunes, sip on a Pina Colada and choose from the wide selection of home-style island dishes. You’ll find that although the vibe may be laid back, the service is fast, friendly and attentive.
Owner run Banana Jam Café is located in trendy Harfield Village, Kenilworth and over the past 13 years has built up a strong following of loyal customers. In 2008 the restaurant moved to its beautiful new premises just across the road from its previous location. Every effort was made to keep the look as close to the original premises as possible. The 150-seater restaurant now boasts a large garden area and an outside deck, where they fire up Jamaican BBQs in the summer months. Come summer or winter, the garden area is always buzzing. At night a roaring wood fire lights up the garden and keeps everyone warm and toasty. Major sporting events are shown on the big–screen.
