My Cabana — Restaurant in Brisbane City

This was a very unique dining experience. My partner and I wanted to try something different and the call of some Latin fare peaked our interest.

I ordered the mixed Cuban plate which was great in regards to trying to good mix of things, an Arepa and a Cachapa. The Arepas was okay but didn’t blow my mind. But the cachapa - a corn made pancake with cheese was really quite amazing. It had such a nice balance of sweet and salty and the texture was just perfect. I often don’t like very sweet things with my salty food (think chicken and mayple waffle and alike) but this really was a perfect harmony of flavours. For something seemingly so simple it made one of the biggest food impressions on me in recent times and I honestly couldn’t get enough of it.

The service was interesting, the only people serving at the restaurant were two fairly young children, and although they did a pretty good job it felt strange not to have at least one more senior or experienced staff member present. They were polite and attentive, but it did take a while to have our order taken and for the food to come out. Not an amount of time that was problematic just a bit longer than I would’ve liked or expected for a small restaurant that was not too busy at the time.

I wouldn’t necessarily mark it down for this, but hopefully this was just a quiet night or maybe another staff member was away or ill as I think it might have been a problem if the restaurant was busy.

The menu was quite extensive, although they were unable to offer everything in its entirety (another thing to make me think that they were short staffed) but I’m very keen to return and try some more of the food because some of it looked and sounded quite unique.

For a small, modest, and what I assume is likely a family run restaurant this was a really nice meal. It’s definitely understated, no frills, barebones type classic eatery which is fine with me and I really enjoyed the opportunity to try something that was...

Food quality was good , but because of the customer service bring it down the overall.

Since beggning went to counter-order our food, requested the cashier we need water, waiting for long time didn't come. Had to remind them. And even as complementary dish, the lady just drop and go.didnt explain to us. what is this for, We didn't even know did they send to the wrong table? Or did we order the wrong dishes. And the worse part is, when my partner went to counter line up the queue, including him, there is another 3 customer wating at front, everyone just searching “service” people, but there is no one, we do understand lunch time is busy time, full of house, but at least eyes contact to the customer, smile, and greeting said “sorry it won't be too long” or “ sorry for the waiting, we will be back in sec”, THERE IS NONE. None of them doing this.

This feedback, I wanted to pass on in person to the staff, but unfortunately they don't really look at your eyes, If you want your business successful and people go back there, here is the advice, FOH people, the staff, need to training how to communicate with customers have good customer service, that's why regular customers will go back. Not just paying,...

​A Truly Unforgettable My Cabana Experience! ​I can't recommend this restaurant enough—it's an absolute must-visit. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was simply wonderful. The ambient music and overall vibe created the perfect tropical escape. ​The food was beyond exquisite; every single dish was full of flavour. You can tell a lot of care and passion goes into each plate, and the flavors were absolutely incredible. The service was equally fantastic. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our dining experience feel truly special. ​This restaurant is a gem in every sense. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional meal in a beautiful setting. We are already looking forward to our next visit! Thanks,...
