About The Honeypot Jamaican Takeaway

Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham

I just got back from The Honeypot Jamaican Takeaway in Birmingham, and it's a real gem! It's a small, bright place, very casual and friendly. The photos online show a clean, simple interior with some colorful Jamaican art on the walls – a really welcoming atmosphere. It’s not fancy, but it feels authentic and comfortable, the kind of spot perfect for a quick, tasty lunch or dinner.

Their menu is focused on Jamaican classics, with lots of jerk chicken and pork options. They also have patties, rice and peas, and various sides. One photo shows a perfectly plated jerk chicken with vibrant red peppers and a fluffy helping of rice and peas; it looked delicious. I went with the jerk chicken, and I'd also recommend trying their patties – they looked wonderfully golden-brown and flaky.

What makes The Honeypot special is its simplicity and the quality of the food. It's not trying to be anything it's not; just a great place for authentic Jamaican takeout. It's ideal for a casual weeknight meal or a quick bite before catching a show, and I think anyone who loves Caribbean food will find it a worthwhile addition to their Birmingham dining options.

Honey Pot is the go-to spot for authentic Caribbean flavors! I ordered the oxtail dinner with rice and peas and steamed veg, and it was perfection—tender, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everything on the menu is consistently delicious, from the jerk chicken to the curry goat. Highly recommend for anyone craving quality Caribbean food!

Was recommended this place by someone, so thought we will go try it out Ordered Curried mutton, Oxtail with butter beans, Fry chicken, Jerk chicken and some pepper prawns. Each dinner is served with rice n peas or plain rice and steam vegetables Curried mutton was tasty, meat was nice n tender. Oxtail with butter beans was alright taste wise likewise the fry chicken and jerk chicken. Pepper prawns were something different but definitely to my mates liking. Saying all that, definitely think the portions were on the smaller side, compared to how much meat you get considering all the meals were medium Like I always say everyones taste buds differ and opinions are different and this is my opinion only....

Delicious food. Fried wings were sensational. Distinctive flavours of the curry sauces with the prawns, chicken, and mutton were delightful. Only had a bit of rice left over. We'll worth the wait at a busy time on a Sunday evening.

The small girl that serves behind the counter comes across very unfriendly, seems like she’s never been shown how to smile and clearly doesn’t know customer service which is such a shame because I really like their food but I won’t be spending my money there again. They also charge people more to have ‘meals’ of meat and fries but if you were to order a portion of meat and fries on the side it’s cheaper yet you get exactly the same amount! I made them aware of this and there was no apology given, she actually seemed to have an attitude when refunding me the £1.50 extra they tried to charge me just for calling it a ‘meal’ rather than a portion and side. In response to the owners response - since when are people only allowed to write reviews on the how the food tastes? I had a bad experience in terms of customer service, and I even mentioned it was a shame because I liked the food. Also since when does CCTV pick up the atmosphere and energy? She did not smile once, hardly spoke and barely made eye contact. I have been a few times, and she has always presented unfriendly. Did your CCTV also pick up that I had asked her how many wings come in the meal and she stated 5, yet your portion size of wings is 5, so make that make sense please. I did not ‘feel’ overcharged, I was, and there was also no communication to follow to inform us of the refund or having spoke to yourself regarding it. As a professional business you should be prepared for criticism instead of trying to make excuses for your poor customer service - your response alone says a lot. Have an even better day 🙂
