Food Quality
Pros:
"Food was absolutely delicious, the meat was marinated to perfection, it just fell off the bone."
"The jerk chicken was very tasty one of the best I've had around Manchester."
"Ordered from deliveroo & this is the most tender chicken I've ever had.. literally fell off the bone!"
"The food came quickly, the portions were very generous and it was absolutely delicious!"
"The curried goat was the best I've had, the meat just melted in your mouth, it is quite spicy but it says that on the menu."
"The food is amazing. I had the jerk halloumi and curried chickpeas with cauliflower. All super tasty, good sized portions."
"The henchboxes were excellent we mixed and matched so managed to try the succulent jerk chicken, the spicy salt fish, the spicy lamb chops charred to perfection and the best curried goat I have tasted."
Cons:
"The gravy wasn’t great and didn’t go with the Caribbean food taste."
"Tasted good but incomplete and doesn’t match up to what the menu says just shows they are lazy and just whip anything together so it looked good."
"The whole thing just lacked flavour....honestly I know it sounds harsh but the only thing I enjoyed was the plantain."
"Been twice first time food excellent I ordered the chops excellent presentation. Second time I ordered jerk chicken failed to see the Carribbean in the food, no flavour what so ever."
"The chicken stew arrived without any dumplings and a couple of tiny bits of potato. The chicken looked like it had only just met the stew and not been stewed at all."
"The curry goat itself had about 30 grams of actual meat in it and was poorly seasoned."
"Food quality has nose-dived recently."
Service

"Staff were very friendly and compliments to the chef we all enjoyed every bite."
"The staff are extremely friendly and attentive although a little slow at times but they were busy so will let them off."
"Amazing young staff, all very polite and knowledgeable."
"Staff were brill the atmosphere was great and the food was absolutely awesome."
Cons:
"Awful service. We booked a table for 9 but when we went there the table wasn't even ready, had to wait for a table to be made."
"The waiter with the round glasses was quite irresponsible, drunk and rude."
"So disappointed by the service at this place - they took 25 minutes to deliver our drinks order and we were the only table (of 4) in the whole restaurant!"
"Waited around 30 minutes to get a food menu and over an hour to get our food and drinks."
"The staff didn't help with situation no management skills."
"Upon arrival restaurant was extremely busy, and although we had booked there was no table for us."
"They got our order wrong again and we had to ask for the dumplings we paid for."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Nice cozy place, great cocktails and amazing food, had the lamb and it was to die for."
"We were seated comfortably outside and had a truly lovely time."
"Seen this place was voted as the 3rd best Caribbean in Manchester (Turtle Bay on top but this is by far better not a chain)."
"Friendly and polite service, food was beautifully presented, and tasted outstanding."
"Atmosphere is rustic mishmash and feels comfortable."
"The service reflects the overall attitude of the place and it's very chilled, which is nice."
"The vibe of the place is great and very laid back."
Cons:
"The music was then turned up uncomfortably loud making us feed uncomfortable and unwanted."
"Music extremely loud unnecessarily, air con put on to - 16 without asking people inside and outside."
"The outdoor section we were seated in had no ventilation, with the sun beating down. It was like a greenhouse."
"I was sat right underneath a speaker so I couldn't quite hear what my company was saying."
"The downsides were the ashtrays in the fully covered outside area that made it smell of cigarettes."
"Music very loud when you are eating."
"Although it is over priced. £9 for a meal that comes with no rice, that's extra."
Value for Money
Pros:
"All for a very reasonable price."
"Amazing place, lovely welcoming staff Very clean...massive portions, massive flavors can't praise this place enough, also great value for money you won't be disappointed!"
"We will be returning as always the food is mega and you get top value for your money."
"The portions completely justify the price."
"Each of the dishes was fantastic with amazing flavours - really tasty, good sized portions and great value for money."
"Had an early bird main and a drink for around £10, and the portions were very generous."
"Even full price the food is worth it!"
Cons:
"It averaged out around 26p/h which didn’t feel value for money at all in my opinion."
"Also we ordered a pitcher of ginger mojito and it was tasteless and not very strong which cost £18.50 so was a total rip off."
"Prices are very high! Mains should definitely come with a side included in that price!"
"They don't advise they have slapped a 10% service charge on the bill for nothing."
"Wasn’t given any discount on the poor service or missing food and we paid over £85+ for."
"Although it is over priced. £9 for a meal that comes with no rice, that's extra."
"The curried goat, jerk chicken and mac & cheese are insanely good, albeit slightly pricey."
Payment and Management
Pros:
"Note: card payments only."
Cons:
"Also they don't take cards. It's 2017 - you can't be cash only!"
"It feels like the cause of lazy management."
"More worryingly, since March 2017, they've had a 0 out of 5 hygiene rating."
"They've been open for a couple of years now and still don't accept card payment."
"The staff are very pleasant and friendly and the service is pretty quick."
"It's cash only so had to pop across the street."
"Management also need to put more staff on serving, felt sorry for the girl who was rushed off her feet as it's a busy spot."
