With your kitchen's pots and pans inhabited by the evil spirits of dead pots and pans, cooking at home has become both time-consuming and spooky. Get quality cuisine without interference from crazed kitchenware with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of tropical cuisine and more from Rumbi Island Grill at one of three area locations in Boulder, Longmont, and Westminster.

Rumbi Island's menu swiftly serves tropics-inspired fare stocked with flavors that run the gamut of Pacific to Caribbean culinary traditions, artfully sidestepping the haughty Atlantic. Customizable rice bowls (half sizes starting at $6.99, full sizes starting at $7.99) fill grumbling stomachs with their choice of protein (chicken, Luau pork, organic tofu, and more) and handcrafted sauce, like the soylicious Hawaiian teriyaki or the sweet, spicy Jamaican jerk. Take a monster bite into the Kahuna burger ($6.99), with two ground-beef patties marinated in teriyaki sauce and crowned with grilled pineapple. All sandwiches come potently paired with your preference of Rumbi fries (mix of sweet potato and regular fries) or chips and tropical salsa. Herbivores can don lettuce-strung leis with the Aloha chicken salad ($7.99), featuring a robust blend of diced mango, gorgonzola, and creamy mango-passion vinaigrette.

For the final morsels, the key lime pie ($3.99) swells with lime juice from the Florida Keys within a graham cracker crust. Health-minded hankerers can snack on Rumbi entrees while keeping an eye on calories, and those who have a long list of culinary demands can easily personalize their order without having to hold a papaya hostage.

Reviews

Yelpers give the Greenwood Village location an average of 3.5 stars, and the Boulder establishment an average of three:

• It's definitely a different taste which is a welcome change from pizza or deli sandwiches (both of which are great, but just not every week.) The pineapples on the sandwiches are a cool, refreshing touch and the sweet salsa and chips were a nice touch as well. – Robert S., Greenwood
• Great gluten-free bowls! I usually get the chicken with veggies & brown rice. They have a really tasty pineapple salsa that's gluten-free. Tons of food for a great price -- I highly recommend! – Megan P., Boulder
