Stopped here on our UTV exploring the island and it was one of my favorite meals I had in Aruba. Reminded me of having a home cooked/ family meal. Got the pork tenderloin in a mushroom gravy and the mushrooms and gravy were so flavorful and was the highlight of the meal. The tortilla/ nan type bread (I can’t remember what it was called) was a great pairing with our dishes. Enjoyed the patio which was nice and quiet allowing for conversation with the table

We came by this restaurant after visiting baby beach. The restaurant is very clean and services were very good ! The owner created food from her home town ( West Indies and Trinidad) and there are also some international food choices . All food that we ordered were so delicious ! The kids loved their shrimp curries and the fried noodles !

After visiting Baby Beach, and based on a recommendation, we decided to have dinner at Kamini's Kitchen. Wow, was it good!We ordered curry boneless chicken with rice and beans, oxtail stew with rice and beans, and can't go without an order of sweet plantains. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection.The staff was welcoming and friendly.The establishment was clean, with indoor and outdoor seating.It's definitely a must if you're visiting Aruba. - Need a car to get there.

Wonderful experience, don't miss this stop in Aruba ! Our server Christine was amazing and tenderloin and mushroom gravy was fantastic. We also experienced goat meat for the first time and it was just crazy delicious! What a way to leave a memory on our last day !!

During our recent trip to Aruba, we sought out an authentic dining experience away from the typical tourist spots, and Kamini’s Kitchen in San Nicolas exceeded our expectations. The funchi with cheese appetizer was a delightful start—crispy polenta fries with a savory, melted cheese topping. For our main courses, we chose the chicken curry roti and goat curry roti. Both dishes featured tender, fall-off-the-bone meat enveloped in flavorful curry sauces with a perfect blend of spices. Adding to the welcoming atmosphere, the owner, Kamini, personally engaged with guests and assisted her staff, reflecting her dedication to excellent service. The journey to this local gem was well worth it, and we left with a strong desire to return to Aruba just to enjoy this exceptional meal again.

Best meal on the island. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.We were served by Kamini and not only did she help us decide on our meals she went the extra mile to bring out a small taste of her curry to try to help us make up our minds. Before we had decided on lunch she told us that they also have doubles. If you know, you know. I drive 20 minutes to get them in Vancouver as often as I can. When Kamini dropped the double off she told us the history of them so not only did we get a delicious appetizer we got a history lesson.We eat curry on the regular but I will say this, Kamini’s Trinidadian curry goat with roti is the best I have ever had in my life. The goat was perfection with flavour and no gamey flavour. She also explained that she gets her meat locally and takes her time to prepare everything her way to make it the best possible.I cannot wait to come back next year and drive straight from the airport back to Kamini’s. I will think about her curry goat everyday until we’re back. It wasn’t all about the food thought, Kamini is a treasure, I would have loved to spend the day there chatting and learning from her.
