Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham
So, I just got back from Taste The Taste Caribbean Take Away in Birmingham, and it's a pretty cool spot. It's a takeaway, so don't expect a fancy sit-down restaurant, but the place itself is clean and bright. The photos online showed a few colorful murals and the counter is nicely organized, making it feel welcoming rather than just a quick grab-and-go place. It's the kind of place you can easily pop into for lunch or dinner.
The menu is pretty straightforward – lots of classic Caribbean dishes. I saw jerk chicken, curried goat, and a few different types of rice and beans. One photo showed a perfectly plated plate of fried plantains alongside some flavorful-looking chicken. I’m definitely going back to try the oxtail; it smelled amazing when I was there. The prices are reasonable, too, which is a big plus.
What makes Taste The Taste stand out? It's the authenticity. It felt like a genuine taste of the Caribbean, which is a rare find in Birmingham. It’s perfect for a quick, delicious, and affordable meal on your own or a casual dinner with friends. If you're craving comforting, flavorful Caribbean food without the fuss, this is your spot.

Went to order and collect in person. Appeared to be a family run business, friendly. Generous portions for the price. I had large mutton, rice and peas with veg, dumpling, coleslaw and plantain. Food really hit the spot I was craving. Really tasty, mutton melted in the mouth. All fresh and hot. Usually order on just eat but will go there to collect now.
Firstly I ordered the food at 4:30pm. It said it would take 35-45mins. It took over 1hr and 25mins. Secondly, the food portions are outrageous. I didn’t order sides with my ackee and saltfish, I had the stems veg option instead of rice as I wanted hardfood. I ordered hard food as a side and it was stale, dry and taste like it’s been sat in stale pot water ALL DAY. I was charged £8.50 for a large and the veg was more than the ackee and saltfish. I’m so disappointed, how do you put more steam veg than the actual dish? Never again. The ackee is dry too, the food tasted STALE. The stew chicken and rice has a weird taste. The rice was too soggy and wasn’t nice.
Never felt so heartbroken before about my Money . The plantain was dry like chewing gum . The steam veg I can’t even begin talk 😭😭. I really don’t understand why
OK my first try here today and I'd say it's very hit and miss!! First off, all portions are very tiny and not much meat in them. Big portion of rice with a table spoon of juice less curried goat for £5.50.. Not worth it.. Worth £3!! However it tasted delicious but still wasn't worth that much! Fried Chicken, I had to laugh 2 tiny Robin redbreast drummers and a lump of something fatty half the size. 1 was edible the other two burnt.. Definitely different batches. Again £5.50 and I expected chicken, literally none once you've took into account the huge 1 inch bone!! Macaroni cheese £3, I thought they'd sent a dumpling by mistake the box was so small. Portion was half a handful and I have tiny hands!! Worth 30p in fact I get macaroni cheese at aldis for 39p and it's 5 times as much. Plus it was nuked from the microwave and the polystyrene carton was melted into the food.!! Sexy juice for £4 is awful.. Sicksy more like and not worth the money!! Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place and won't be returning. I've given 1 star as the curry goat tasted nice and beautiful rice however I was still hungry and everything else was very disappointing!! Delivery took around 1 hour and we're 4 mins drive away.. Not too bad 🤔🤔🤔 There's better quality and quantity in Selly Oak delivered quicker. Sorry guys it's a "No" from us!!
I don't know why I gave this shop another try, each and every time the food is days old unseasoned or tough 😐 I ordered jerk chicken and it's dry an old with NO FLAVOUR!!!! the festivals could hammer nails into walls, the yam was tough an old, the dumpling was rock hard and I spent my money for the food to go in the bin kmt. Plus they don't have a shop number to call and I'm not surprised because they'd get nuff complaints!!!! Caribbean food shops need to do better than this, I can cook an wish I did now because this food has annoyed my whole evening kmt thanks taste NO taste!!!!
