Located in the vibrant heart of Miami’s West Kendall area, El Gran Bamboo Restaurant offers an authentic Colombian dining experience that captures the rich flavors and warm spirit of Colombia’s culinary heritage. Nestled at 10325 Hammocks Blvd, this inviting eatery beckons both locals and visitors to indulge in a menu bursting with traditional favorites and expertly crafted dishes.
El Gran Bamboo’s extensive menu is a celebration of Colombia’s diverse food culture. Signature highlights include the Super Bandeja Paisa, a hearty platter that perfectly marries tender meats, rice, beans, plantains, and fresh arepas into an extraordinary symphony of flavors. For seafood lovers, the Mojarra Frita provides a beautifully fried whole fish with crispy golden skin and moist, flaky meat inside. The Sancocho De Costilla – a comforting beef ribs soup – warms the soul with its rich broth and tender cuts, while dishes like Lomo Saltado exhibit a delightful fusion of Colombian and Peruvian influences with succulent skirt steak tossed with onions, tomatoes, and fries.
Carnivore enthusiasts will find joy in the impressive selection of prime cuts, including the melt-in-your-mouth Entraña Prime, the robust Baby Churrasco, and the flavorful Picanha Prime. Each cut is expertly grilled to enhance its natural juices and smokey char, promising an indulgent meat lover’s feast. For those preferring lighter fare, the chicken options such as Pechuga en Champiñones deliver smoky grilled breasts crowned with a luscious mushroom sauce, as praised by one guest who relished mixing the sauce with white rice for an extra burst of flavor.
The menu’s ocean offerings are equally impressive. Dishes like Cazuela Frutos de Mar, a seafood stew brimming with fresh shrimp, fish, and shellfish, or the elegantly prepared Filete de Salmón Noruego, showcase pristine ingredients treated with finesse. Accompanied by vibrant sides like Deditos de Queso Tostones (cheese-stuffed fried plantain fingers) or the smoky Chorizo con Arepa, every bite is a celebration of texture and taste.

Had a real good meal here while I waited for my kids to finish their skating session at the ice skating rink next door. I ate the grilled chicken smothered in a thick and delicious mushroom sauce. It came with two sides and I chose white rice. Pro tip, I mixed the rice in with the thick mushroom gravy and it was almost as delicious as the chicken. Ok…. The chicken was better. But damn that was good. I also had the fried yuca. I was not impressed with this and would order something different. You know how you reserve the fried things for special occasions, well I feel I kinda wasted that selection here. All in all, great music and lighting in the background that gives you a party/dance vibe. Definitely should check this place out.
This place is delicious! Everyone was attentive and Diego our waiter was fantastic! Will be coming with the family!
Excellent service and delicious food. Kimberly was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Diana provided outstanding service. She was welcoming, patient, and very attentive without being intrusive. She made us feel comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. Truly excellent service!
The restaurant was decorated for Halloween. It was very atmospheric. The food was delicious. The portions were generous. There's a wonderful stage where concerts are held. We wanted to come back for one of the evenings. The window overlooks the skating rink. You can watch the kids practicing.
I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Diana at El Grand Bamboo, and she made the entire dining experience unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, Diana greeted me with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that instantly made me feel welcome. She was attentive without being intrusive, making sure every detail was taken care of—my drinks were always full, my food came out perfectly timed, and she checked in often to ensure I had everything we needed. What really stood out was her professionalism combined with such a friendly, personal touch. She explained the menu with great knowledge, gave fantastic recommendations, and created such a positive, comfortable atmosphere. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, and with Diana, you can feel it in the way she takes care of her guests. El Grand Bamboo is already a wonderful restaurant, but with service like Diana’s, it becomes exceptional. I will definitely be returning and will be asking for her again. Highly recommend both the restaurant and Diana’s outstanding service!
