Who are we?

We are Sharifa and Kim, the proud owners of Waiti Kubuli. Our journey began years ago whilst working together in the hospitality industry. We quickly discovered a shared passion for gastronomy, hospitality, and creating extraordinary culinary experiences. What started as a professional collaboration soon blossomed into a close friendship and a shared dream: to open our own restaurant where flavour, creativity, and personal attention come together. With the opening of Waiti Kubuli, that dream became a reality!

The meaning behind Waiti Kubuli

Waiti Kubuli is the ancestral name of the Caribbean island of Dominica, Sharifa’s birthplace. Dominica is often confused with the Dominican Republic, but it boasts its own distinct culture, history, and culinary traditions. The rich flavours, vibrant ingredients, and warm hospitality of this remarkable island form the inspiration and foundation of our restaurant concept.

Caribbean fine dining with a unique twist

At Waiti Kubuli, we bring the vibrant flavours of the Caribbean to the Netherlands, elevated into a unique fine dining experience. To us, Caribbean fine dining means an innovative and sophisticated tasting menu crafted exclusively with high-quality ingredients, seasonal produce, and meticulously balanced flavour combinations.

Our multi-course menu changes every six to eight weeks, ensuring our guests can always look forward to surprising dishes and new culinary discoveries. We dedicate equal care to our food, personal service, and ambience, ensuring a truly welcoming experience.

A culinary journey through the Caribbean

We believe that fine dining should not feel distant or formal. That is why we combine refined gastronomy with the warm, relaxed, and hospitable atmosphere for which the Caribbean is renowned. This authentic Caribbean charm is central to the Waiti Kubuli experience, breaking the mould of traditionally stiff fine dining environments.

To perfectly complement the flavours of our menu, we offer carefully curated wine pairings as well as creative cocktail pairings. Designed to match the nuances of the season, these pairings complete your culinary journey.

At Waiti Kubuli, we invite you to embark on a culinary voyage through the Caribbean, where authentic heritage, modern techniques, and heartfelt hospitality meet.

We look forward to welcoming you to our restaurant!

Warmest regards,
Sharifa & Kim

Summer at Waiti

The Terrace at Waiti Kubuli

As soon as the sun comes out, it is time to take a seat on the terrace at Waiti Kubuli. During the summer months (weather permitting), our sunny terrace is open from Thursday to Saturday from 14:00 onwards. It is the ultimate spot to enjoy excellent food, exceptional drinks, and a relaxed Caribbean vibe. Whether you join us for a leisurely afternoon drink, a sunny afternoon lounge, or a relaxed start to your evening, our terrace is all about the art of enjoyment.

Drinks in the Sun

Our terrace menu features a rotating selection of homemade light bites, inspired by the flavours of the Caribbean and prepared with fresh, premium ingredients. It is the perfect setting for a sun-drenched lunch, drinks with friends, an afternoon of cocktails, or a relaxed start to a night out. Furthermore, we fire up our Tagwood grill to serve delicious barbecue dishes cooked over an open flame for that signature smoky flavour profile. To learn more about this exceptional grill, please visit the Tagwood BBQ Europe website.

Cocktails, Mocktails, and Homemade Soft Drinks

Our bar is just as central to the experience as our kitchen. On the terrace, you can enjoy an extensive selection of cocktails, innovative mocktails, and various homemade soft drinks. Our refreshing range includes artisanal lemonades, iced teas, and seasonal specials. We showcase a vibrant array of tropical flavours, including soursop, tamarind, lychee, mango, hibiscus, passion fruit, calamansi, and yuzu—to name just a few.
