Juma's Restaurant

Honestly surprised this place gets bad reviews! Service was excellent and the food was delicious. It’s hard to find someplace where my picky kids will love the food just as much as the adults - this was it. Views from the outdoor covered dining area on the beach are beautiful.

The service was fine. The staff was pleasant, although whoever the manager or owner that was present that night, didn’t not take the time to greet or acknowledge any of the guests, which is just a custom that I am use to. The food lacked any character, and very blah taste. I don’t want to sound negative at all, as it wasn’t a bad experience, but the place could use major improvement in presentation, and taste. Atmosphere was the saving grace, as the wife and I were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset while we dinned in.

Had lunch and dinner here. Lunch was busier so service was slower, but very Bajan! Enjoyed a flying fish salad amd tacos with a beer. Dinner was a slightly different menu. Restaurant was quiet, so good service. Goat curry was super, shrimp curry was good, octopus was tasty and grilled mahi mahi was very also nice.

Juma's in Porters, Barbados offers a truly picturesque setting with mesmerizing sunset views right on the beach—an ideal spot for a relaxing evening. The service was friendly and welcoming, adding to the laid-back island vibe. However, the food was unfortunately just average and didn’t match the high expectations set by the location. We also found the menu pricing to be inconsistent and somewhat puzzling. While it's a great place to enjoy a drink and take in the view, we wouldn’t recommend it for the food.

Drinks took a bit, and when those were done, they didn't ask us if we wanted any others, but they did keep our waters filled. The food took quite a long time, and it wasn't really busy. And though we were overlooking the beach, with a good view of the sunset, it was still very hot out, so they set up a fan for us. My Mom had lobster bisque that was very salty, so they replaced it, but it was still salty, and she found her pulled pork nachos to be hot, but when my sister and I tried them, we got some from a lower layer, and actually found them to be sweet. My Mom did say they were plentiful. My sister's Thai papaya chili salad was spicy but good, and her (wet) jerk chicken wings were hot. I had the (dry) jerk chicken pizza, which came with plantain on it... definitely interesting. It also didn't seem really hot to me, like my mouth didn't get hot, but at one point, my lips did definitely feel the heat. I even asked if they were red or puffy and got a yes to both. I'm guessing more of the spice was in the sauce but - that's just a guess. My Dad got the meaty beast pizza (or something like that - maybe feast..?), and he seemed to enjoy it. We did not have dessert. And for our drinks, my sister's lime daiquiri was kind of meh, my Mom's drink (can't remember what it was) was kind of strong / bitter, and mine was the best thing I had all night - a BBC (Banana, Bailey's, and Coconut). Overall I'd give it 2.5 stars.
