"When people find out what I do, they either ask what my favorite restaurant in town is or they volunteer theirs. I’d say 2 out of every 5 people mention Calypso.” Danny Solomon, restaurant critic for Nashville’s The City Paper       "It was--hands down--the best-tasting healthy meal I've had in a very long time. And at less than $6, it's very affordable, too. Colleen Johnson, The Murfreesboro Daily News Journal

Couva Calypso Cafe offers fast, affordable meals that are good for you! For over 16 years we have been serving up our Cuban black beans, bountiful salads, rotisserie chicken, island burgers and vegetarian side items in the Nashville area. Our mission is simple…high quality, hearty dishes at a reasonable price in a fun, relaxed and efficient setting.

In addition to table service, Calypso has been consistently voted “Best Takeout” by The Nashville Scene readers. Families and large groups enjoy our takeout Family Special chicken meal—you can not only feed your family, but feed your family well--and at a great price. For your next meeting or event, smaller groups can order individually off the menu for pickup (call ahead for even faster service), or if you prefer, we can package your meal buffet-style. 

The best part of what we do is our customers… we know them, and we like them! They are our best advertising by spreading the word about Calypso, and we are so grateful! Of course, enthusiasm is contagious; when you have fantastic customers, it’s easy to continue to inspire and retain Calypso staff. We definitely have our regulars—some order the same meal every visit, and it is not uncommon for the Calypso line to have their order made before they even reach the door from the parking lot. Our customers are active, engaged, and energetic. They are going places, and we help them stick to their schedule without sacrificing quality or nutrition.   

Let’s face it-- we all need to Eat Better, Calypso’s just making it easier.
