Kumbala Sports Bar & Grill

Prior to this incident I was a frequent customer at Kumbala. I enjoyed the atmosphere, food and the fact it wasn’t too far from my house. Back in September/August not only was I shocked, but highly disgusted and disappointed. I simply ordered what I always do ( 2x fried snapper and rice ) for my wife and I. One order was deliberately missing. The order that DID come was inedible as the fish leaked brown spinal fluid or something of the sort after the (spine bone) snapped, leaking all over the fish. It was not an ingredient I promise you. I’ve never seen anything like it. I called with concern about not only my missing order, but the issue with the one order that did come as well. Now how did I KNOW they purposely left out an order? In August of this year I placed an order on Grubhub for pick up, when I got there they said there is NO more fish left and to just “cancel” the order. However, the order said it “has been picked up” already. I showed the manager and she said “just cancel it”, pretty much trying to keep my money for the order and have my Grubhub account get penalized for “canceling” an active order. My wife came in and questioned the Lady in charge, she ultimately canceled the order on HER END after agreeing to show us the computer screen as “proof”. Which is how we saw she did NOT cancel order, so she then canceled on the spot after it was pointed out on screen by my wife. The manager acts confused and tried to play it off with humor.

Fast forward to the very next time I purchased a meal from them, they knew who I was and deliberately messed up my order. I’m going to hope the fish that DID arrive was just a bad coincidence. Took a few months but I’m finally sharing my story.

This place is definitely what I’d consider a hole in the wall - easy to miss and somewhat discreetly tucked away. The food is some of the best I’ve ever had! The stewed chicken (pollo guisado) is amazing. The fried cheese and fried yucca are the perfect appetizers. We also ordered the empanada con pollo and it did not disappoint. Other dishes my friend and husband ordered was the grilled chicken platter. The flavor of everything was impressive and the dishes were delicious and not complicated. Prices were very reasonable and service was great. We will ABSOLUTELY be back. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!!

10/10!!! I’ve lived in this area for quite some time and rarely eat out, but this was worth it!! Good quality food with seasoning, and a good alternative if you don’t feel like cooking, or just want some good authentic Dominican food. Truly quality food and feels like you are in DR. You’ve got a lifetime customer!
