Coyaba means paradise, and on a sleety day this warm and vibrant restaurant fits the bill. This award-winning family-run restaurant, the only Jamaican restaurant in all Scotland, is just as warm in its welcome as in its decor. The walls and tables are brightly kitted out in colours of fruits and the earth, and the Caribbean sounds wafting out over diners complete the island ambience. The menu is authentically Jamaican, created along Rastafarian principles, so you'll find no dairy or wheat. Try starter of classic ital soup, main course of authentic curry goat and dessert of ginger lime polenta cake. Do not miss the nutmeggy Guinness punch. Reggae fans may starspot visiting musicians here.

Information for Groups

Coyaba is set in the heart of student land, and it is a fine gathering place for all kinds of informal celebrations and groups. The Meads will welcome you as if you were visiting their own home, and will do everything possible to make your event special. There is no private room, but groups up to 20 can be accommodated in the dining room, or hire the entire venue for a proper bash, seating up to 40. Coyaba is a place to feast all the senses, from the brightly coloured decor to the vivid flavours of the dishes. Try starter of Jamaica's national dish, ackee and saltfish, followed by its other national dish, jerk chicken and top it off with rum and raisin chocolate cake.
