Callaloo Cafe — Restaurant in Cleveland Heights

Welcome to the new home of Callaloo Cafe! This corner nook in Cedar-Lee is inviting and bright, serving unpretentious Trinidadian comfort food with flair.

I got the roti with curried chicken and it was fabulous. The chicken was fall off the bone tender, the spices were bold but balanced, and the owner/cook/server triple threat excitedly talked me through the flavor profiles when I asked. There's also a selection of interesting soft drinks to explore. (For your reference; Kola Champagne is a creme soda twin. Now I know!)

Sometimes tastey global spots bring the flavor while neglecting the space, but Callaloo was spotless inside and out. The owner obviously puts a lot of care into his Cafe.

This placed smelled truly amazing and I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. Give it a try and you might find a new favorite...

My daughter and I frequent restaurants in the area often, and we were thrilled to stumble upon this absolute jewel! The food was nothing short of superb. We sampled the curry goat and brown stew chicken, both were an explosion of flavor. The spices were perfectly balanced, with just the right hint of sweetness and heat.

We ultimately ordered the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, and callaloo, and we couldn’t resist adding a side of mac and cheese, which had its own unique and delicious flavor. Every bite was well-prepared and absolutely delicious.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. Warm, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish.

Such a pleasant surprise! You’ve definitely gained a new...

I discovered by accident this gem in Cleveland Heights, the owner is kind and welcoming, and the quaint, unassuming decor is bright and cheery! I ordered the curry chicken, rice and peas and cabbage and the owner threw in a spoon of mac-n-cheese just because I wanted to taste it. What I ordered was delicious! The curry chicken had just the right amount of spice heat, the rice to peas balance was dead on, and the cabbage wasn't some boring steamed leaf, it was season and contained peppers and onions (chefs kiss). The mac n cheese was a little too sweet for my palate so I won't order that in the future. All and all I will definitely be a regular at this TRINIDADIAN Caribbean restaurant. By the way they are open until 1AM most...
