About Jamaya Birmingham

Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham

JAMAYA Birmingham is tucked away in a surprisingly quiet spot in Birmingham; it feels a bit like discovering a hidden gem. The atmosphere is relaxed and vibrant, with warm lighting and a really pleasant buzz – not too loud, not too quiet. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the space features lots of natural wood and plants, giving it a fresh, modern Caribbean feel.

Their menu is quite extensive, offering a good range of traditional Caribbean dishes with some interesting twists. They have all the classics – jerk chicken, curried goat – but also some more unusual options I'd love to try on my next visit. One photo shows a perfectly plated platter of fried plantains alongside some vibrant looking fish. I went for the oxtail stew, which was rich, tender, and absolutely delicious.

What makes JAMAYA special is its authentic feel without being stuffy. It’s the kind of place perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends or a more celebratory meal with family. The food is clearly made with care and passion, and the whole experience felt genuinely welcoming. It's a great addition to Birmingham’s dining scene, offering something a bit different from the usual suspects.

Went there with my partner for his birthday, and I have to say the food was amazing and the atmosphere was so vibrant! Dj was playing some good music as well, but i must say we where assisted by such a lovely and funny waiter called favour, went out his way for us which was nice considering we’re from France and it was our first time trying this cuisine!will definitely be coming back again! 5⭐️👏🏾

We visit this restaurant all the time and it never fails to deliver. Staff and management are friendly and attentive and make you feel welcome and valued. Food is excellent with really good cocktails accompanied by a great vibe with good music and a nice clientele. We will always recommend this place. We highly recommend the Dunns river falls cocktail and the jerk chicken, jerk fries, fried plantains, festivals and rice n peas. The desserts are good too. Large portions and excellent value for money. Thankyou to the management for your kind hospitality. Thankyou to Jasmine for looking after us she gave excellent customer service.

I booked a table for my daughters 16th birthday dinner with her and her three besties. From the moment I opened the door, I was politelygreeted by Amoya, who saw me to the pre booked table. #BeyondBalloons was decorating the table. Amoya was so polite, customer service focused, and smiled throughout the whole time we were there, she was attentive and very focused, not just on us, but on all of her interactions with all customers. I would like to say thank you to Amoya, and Stefan for the service, it was perfect and was a wonderful start to my daughters 16th birthday, the food, mocktails and cocktails were also superb. Would definitely recommend Jamaya for its, food, atmosphere and excellent customer service.
