Was a random find as was staying at an apartment near by. Small place but lovely and staff are welcoming. Range of drinks and cocktails/ mocktails available Food looked and tasted beautiful. A couple of big bookings in, so our table of 2 sort of got forgotten about. After a while we went up to bar to pay our bill as our table still hadn't been cleared.

Visited on a Sunday lunch time with my partner, the food was lovely however the waitress got my order wrong, I asked for jerk chicken but got the stew chicken. I was in a rush so really didn’t have time to send it back and wait for the correct dish, also not big on food waste. Honestly it was still amazing so no complaints there. Reasonably priced too although the table was very wobbly. Overall, it’s a cute little restaurant and good food.

📍: @devonhousejq 💃🏽Vibes : Date night, special occasion Food rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Cuisine: Caribbean Location: Jewellery quarter Birmingham ________ Part 1: 📝: This restaurant/bar opened in Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham a couple years ago. Because my first visit was amazing and I couldn’t fault it, I decided to revisit. However, the expectation second time round fell short. The service on a whole was not good. After the waitress took the orders the menu’s were left on the table, empty glasses were also left on the table for the duration of the meal. When I received my starter 2 hours later it was cold, I also had to wait around 45 minutes to receive drinks. However the cocktails were tasty and we were offered complimentary drinks for our wait. 🍴Starters - £5.50 Spicy Chicken strips - coating had good flavour, I would order it again, but didn’t like the pepper sauce. - £6.75 Fricassee chicken wings - balance of flavours was good , the depth of flavours was great you could taste everything you would want in a dish , the food definitely hit the mark. - £6.75 Barbecue chicken wings - I liked the sweet taste of flavours, it melts in your mouth. - £8 Jerk King prawns and Avocado salad - was tasty and flavoursome, cooked to perfection a really good dish - £8 Coconut crisp prawns - They were nice and crispy but needed more coconut as I couldn’t really taste it, the peppered sauce was way too spicy didn’t really like it and it did not go well with the dish. I would of preferred a different sauce. 📍: @devonhousejq 💃🏽Vibes : Date night, special occasion Food rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Cuisine: Caribbean Location : jewellery quarter Birmingham ________ 📝: part 2 - When I received my main course 3 hours later it was warm I was not impressed. I did feel like they struggled to cope with the pressure on Mother’s Day. I would not be in a rush to return as our experience this time round was not a good one. Considering it was Mother’s Day I was extremely disappointed. 🍴Mains ▪️£11.95 Veg curry - It was alright not bad, I would of pereferred potato and yam in the curry but it was just garden veg and peppers , seasoned rice needed a little bit more season as it was very bland. ▪️£16.95 Peppered steak & white rice - Steak has a sweet taste not spicy , nice strong flavours, the rice was very fluffy And the veg was flavoursome ▪️ £22.95 Steak & rice n peas - my mom ordered the steak cooked medium rare , she was impressed with flavours of the dish especially the mushroom sauce which she thought was lovely and she enjoyed the cherry tomatoes was really tasty ▪️ £14.95 Fried chicken & rice n peas - Chicken & rice was dry needed gravy , food was also warm not hot enough . I would not order it again however the rice n peas was nice and fluffy, if it had gravy it would of gone down like a treat . 🍴Sides ▪️Dumplings I wish they were cooked fresh as we did wait more than 2 hours for our food ▪️Mac n cheese - this was is nice not too creamy the consistency is just right , the plantin was sweet but it was hard so not very enjoyable , I would of liked it more soft. Colsesaw I didn’t really like it didn’t give me the wow factor. ▪️£14.95 Bbq chicken & rice n peas - it was nice nothing special, i found it to be warm And I like my food hot with the steam coming off it. #birminghamuk #supportlocalbusiness #foodlove #foodies #eating #eatout #meal #restaurants #foodblogger #blog #blogger #yum #foodstagramming #foodpic #foodphotography📷 #foodlovers #relaxedatmosphere #specialoccasions #dinner #westmidlands #caribbeancuisine #caribbean #caribbeanfood #starter #jamaica🇯🇲 #maincourse #jamaicanfoodie

Devon House Jamaican Restaurant, 10 out of 10 for the service ee received and for the food. It was the first time I went to the Restaurant, all the staff were friendly and very attentive. I went with my friends, they too enjoyed their food and service with a smile. The food was delivered in a timely manner, we received. I had side orders of sweet potatoes and colesaw, along with rice and peas, salad, salmon with a lovely sauce, the food was 😋, I also had a big glass of ginger beer, for my pudding I had apple crumble and ice cream, this too was delicious 😋. We were all full after eating our lunch. I would recommend trying the food at Devon House Jamaican Restaurant, I will certainly be going there again.

Lovely staff lovely food!! We were a party of 25 celebrating two big birthdays. Sarina and her staff were friendly and accommodating even though we were a bit noisy. The jerk prawns and sea bass starters were delicious and the the food came out in good time considering the size of our party and other diners there. The reggae music added to the atmosphere. In hindsight I wouldn’t book such a big table as restaurant and kitchen are quite small but they coped well. An overall great experience!
