About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
A Once in a Lifetime Cultural & Culinary Experience! As with many traditional cultures, you sometimes have to travel a long way to get the genuine experience, and the same is true in Jamaica. However, you’re in luck! Positioned in the mountains, 30 minutes outside Negril, Zimbali is a rare gateway from which you can experience the real culture of Rastafari. Located in Canaan Mountain, come and meet Rasta ‘Fiyah’ and hike with him up to his farm “Camp Survival”. 30+ years of natural living and farming, Fiyah upholds the real Livity of Rastafari. On the way you stop at “Gracie’s Spring” to fill your water bottle with natural water straight from the ground. Once up at the camp, follow Fiyah to pick fresh foods and spices. Now it’s time to start the fire. Rasta Cooking is known as ‘Ital Cooking’ and it relies on all-natural herbs, spices and hand squeezed coconut oil for its one of a kind flavor. This is a true learning experience on so many levels that many people find it life changing

    This was our second time at Zimbali Retreat and it did not disappoint. Mark, Alicia, and the whole staff are so welcoming it's like going home for Sunday dinner with the family. We went on a Wednesday and they have an African group that plays music and dances which makes for a lively experience. If you're staying in or near Negril, it is well worth your time to make the trip to the Zimbali Retreat to enjoy the culture Jamaica has to offer.

    We were a group of 9 of us on a special trip to Negril. We ventured out to experience Zimbali's Retreat. Our bus ride was fun - it was great to see the country and get "UP into" the mountains. Upon arrival we were greeted but it was not warm and inviting. We did not know what to expect or what to do. We ordered food and then stood around with no directions or suggestions. No drinks were offered or appetizer to nibble on ~ finally dinner was ready ! We were seated and then had to wait another 20 minutes or so to get some food. It was a little putzy, slow. I wish Mark and his wife would have been the ones to welcome us, explain to us the experience we were to encounter, answer questions about how Zimbali came about. The farm tour was nice but ours was cut short due to rain. The music and dancing was fun!
