Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham
Toptaste in Birmingham is tucked away, but easy to find once you know where to look. It's got a casual, friendly atmosphere; think bright colours, maybe some Caribbean music playing softly in the background. The space features simple decor, focusing on making the food the star. It felt really welcoming – the kind of place you could pop in for a quick lunch or linger over a leisurely dinner.
The menu is full of classic Caribbean dishes. They've got all the usual suspects – jerk chicken, curry goat, stew chicken – but also some interesting sounding specials. One photo showed a perfectly plated "trap box" with lobster, hake, and salmon, which several reviews highlight for flavor, even if the portion sizes and cooking methods had some inconsistencies depending on the reviews I read. I'd definitely want to try the curry goat, based on the rave reviews I saw. There's also fried chicken and a range of sides like rice and peas.
What makes Toptaste stand out is its reputation for generous portions and genuine Caribbean flavor. It's the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends, or even a quick takeaway. If you're craving authentic Caribbean food and don't mind varying portion sizes based on customer reviews, Toptaste is worth a visit, especially for those looking for a great value meal.

Wicked champion food. If you like Caribbean cuisine made with love then check this place out. Everytime I’m in Birmingham I stop off here and buy a few extra portions to bring back to Bristol. The curry goat is a winner (Probably up there in my top 5) and similar with stew chicken. Reasonable prices. Generous portions. Great flavours
Got the Large Fried Chicken with rice and peas. Unfortunately the box was mainly of dry rice n peas. No flavour and didn't taste fresh at all. Chicken was small aswell for a supposedly large meal but tasted nice. Customer service was a real let down. Like a person is invisible and you get served 10 to 15 minutes after you first enter the shop.
This was the first time I've tried this place I ordered the trap box lobster tail with hake and salmon the flavors was great and the young lad that served us was very polite But I give 3 stars because the salmon,hake and the lobster tail was very dry and over cooked and the portion was really really small for £30 I was expecting a more tbh. But like I said the flavours are great so next time I will try something else.
Edited my review to reflect my recent visits. Firstly this place used to be a Birmingham staple. Sadly the quality of the food and the poor service means I will never go back. Meals are 70% rice and not a reflection of authentic Caribbean food. Lastly to the owner in the wheelchair your customer service is trash and your attitude stinks. based on 4 different interactions I chose to edit my review. To see true example of what I’m talking about. Look at the way the owner responds to his poor of patrons expressing a lack of satisfaction Google reviews. No accountability or apologies just attitude, rudeness and small man syndrome. Response to the owner: as usual all unsatisfactory reviews are false😂 . it’s only disrespectful if it’s untrue. Ive based my review on many visits over several months. Instead of calling me a liar just fix up.
Nasty overpriced tastless food!! The floor is dirty inside and the place smells. I SWEAR! On my deceased father's grave, I been living in this area nearly all my life and been to many food places and this has to be the worst food place ever in the area. This place does not even deserve the 1*
