Caribbean Curry in Cabarete
I thought the Gorditos owner owned the other new restaurant right next door that just opened up not the Curry one?
The restaurant next to Gorditos (owned by same owner) is called Zemi. You have go past Yamazato, to the end of the strip. Don't know if it is open.
I haven't gone by Gorditos again. I was told they were closing for two weeks, I believe that was starting on May 19th.
I wouldnt
Went to Cabarete Curry couple of months ago and we demanded our money back..first of all the prices they have back behind on the wall are WRONG...they are misleading and when we went to pay was double and the lady just said oh we need to change that...Huge writing in colorful letters and you stand by it all day and you forget?...right..anyways we paid 700 pesos for rice and very small potion of what was suppose to be curry and sat down..the rice was crunchier then the tacos we had for dinner from Gorditos(which i have to say were fantastic) and the curry just looked like dried up pub vomit..it was worse then a TV dinner that had been over cooked in a Microwave....they apologised and said they would cook some more but sorry not after that...we took our money back and wont be returning
It was very sad
i didn't demand money back, but food was very overcooked and price was not what was on the wall. I just wrote them off my list permanently and predicted a short longevity to the others in my group (who had wisely stuck with Gorditos).
I never visit any restaurant until it has been there with the same owner/operator for 6 months. If it is still there, it's worth my time. Otherwise, everyone else has tried it, hated it and never went back so it went bust. It's too easy to open a restaurant without any experience or expertise for me to waste my time visiting until I know it will be there for me the next time I'm hungry.

I swear i heard the curry restaurant was good! I HATE curry but i will take the wife since she loves it, i hope it doesn't suck! I'll be eating at gorditos as she tries the Curry ;-)
That's right - I had a quick look and it's a buffet and you choose what you want. I have been back a couple of times to try the food but it was closed both times - not very good for a new business. From what I read here it is expensive too, for what it is, so I may give it a miss. A shame really, as I am British and curry is now the country's most popular food - way ahead of traditional national food like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding!
We had the traditional Indian dish of Butter Chicken there in March and it was very good. They served basmati rice, not the usual rice found in the DR. They might have stopped doing that because basmati rice, although delicious, is expensive. I hope they make a go of it but, unfortunately, a couple of lousy meals and it can be all over.
No, the Caribbean restaurant is next to Gorditos and is fabulous! The Curry restaurant is on the other side (West side) of Yamazato Sushi restaurant--two doors down from the Caribbean restaurant. Same plaza in Ocean Dream, but different restaurants and different owners.
One restaurant is a Caribbean restaurant, and the other is an Indian restaurant.
