About Caribbean Twist

Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham

Caribbean Twist in Birmingham is a cozy spot; it’s tucked away, but the bright, colorful murals on the outside definitely draw you in. The inside is similarly vibrant, with warm lighting and reggae music playing softly in the background. It feels relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual dinner or a catch-up with friends. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the space is surprisingly spacious despite feeling intimate.

Their menu is full of classic Caribbean dishes with some interesting twists. They offer everything from jerk chicken and curry goat to callaloo soup and various seafood options. One photo shows a perfectly plated plate of oxtail, which looked incredible. I'd definitely recommend trying their roti; it smelled amazing when it came out of the kitchen for another table.

What makes Caribbean Twist special is the genuine feeling of warmth and hospitality. The staff were super friendly, and the food felt incredibly authentic. It's a great place for a casual celebration, a family dinner, or just a satisfying weeknight meal. It’s different from other Caribbean restaurants I’ve tried because it feels less like a tourist trap and more like a true taste of home for someone who loves the cuisine.

Looks good from the outside, but the ratings say it all. I ate here recently and was very disappointed. Firstly, they didn't acknowledge me as I waited to be served. I was waiting for at least 5 minutes before I got fed up and asked for service. I selected my dish and paid. I paid more than the average price for the food, so here's me expecting a more generous portion with explosive flavours, but the portion was less than the average portion and the flavours were bland or overpowering. The oxtail was more bone than anything, and the steam veg portion was minimal. The rice lacked flavour, as did the meat, and I was just really disappointed. Then, I decided to order a piece of jerk chicken from the drum outside. That came to the table, and it wasn't steaming like the other food. Tasted it, and it was cold. When I then told the young woman the chicken was cold, she then went on to lie to me and tell me it had just come off the drum from outside. I'm certain that did not just come off the drum from outside as it was cold and did not taste fresh. I wouldn't eat here again as there is nothing authentic about this shop or the food, and the young woman who lied to me did kill any hopes of a better rating. There was a young black guy in there who, if I weren't for him, then I would give this place the lowest rating possible. He made the experience enjoyable for me by asking me if the food was alrite and if I needed anything else and just generally a well-spoken, attentive, polite young man. Avoid this place if you can, as you will be greatly disappointed if you taste their so-called authentic food. Also, the price paid and the food of that low quality. Not again

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS FOOD PLACE !!! To think me and my Caribbean partner are about to enjoy some good soul food to be completely dissatisfied!!!!! The food was BLAND !! The portion size is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE FOR THE PRICE !!! I believe the food is not fresh and has an off taste to it . For £17 we get 5 pieces of curry goat, an INCH of mac and cheese, rubbery and dry plantain and the rest just rice and peas and steamed veg. Don’t order from here . What a way to start the New Year smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m so disappointed, I’m Jamaican and I’m actually shocked at how dry and plain the food is. The dumpling should be nice and crispy but it’s soft on the outside. I was looking forward to eating the Mac and cheese but the Mac and cheese coming like it was cooked a week ago, then got put into a freezer and then warmed up and served for me. The mac and cheese has no flavour at all. Worse max and cheese I’ve ever tasted. Ontop of that I order Victoria cake they gave me some type of cheese cake. The only two things that is decent is the rice and peas and the fries. I paid £24 for all of this to be disappointed.

There's a distinct lack of home cooked vegan food on Sellyoak high street. So i was pleased when caribbean twist opened their doors. I've bought food from this take out place twice now, I'm sad to say there's been no improvement in either staff service or portion sizes. Practically half a container of food for £7 and management could do with lessons in customer service. I wont be buying from here again. Its a real shame as the food is delicious.
