Bahamian Restaurant Offers Festive Group Dining on International Drive
Groups in search of a night out beyond the Orlando resorts have a new option in Kafe Kalik, a colorful Bahamian eatery that opened in October in the recently renovated Prime Outlets International on International Drive, a few minutes from Universal Studios and SeaWorld.

With two Kafe Kalik locations in the Bahamas, along with a small outpost at Orlando International Airport, this is the mini chain's first full-scale eatery in the U.S. The bright and open 10,000-square-foot dining room is an homage to Bahamian culture and features a breezy island atmosphere. The restaurant is decorated in festive colors throughout and accented by glass tile, woodcarvings, and the work of Bahamian artists.

The 315-seat dining room can be bought out for private events, while two banquet rooms (including one with a private entrance) can be combined to seat 45. Another option for events is the patio, which holds 60 guests, includes a full bar, and on Saturday nights features live music along with performances of Junkanoodancers clothed in traditional Bahamian costumes.

Groups can also arrange for private Junkanoo performances in any of the dining spaces, and the restaurant offers a variety of event menus featuring island favorites like curried lamb shank, dry rub guava BBQ ribs, and wood-oven-roasted shrimp flamed with banana rum, along with dozens of tropical drink options.
