Caribbean Restaurant in Manchester

Stepping into Di Shack in Manchester felt like a quick trip to the Caribbean. The space is small, with a casual, friendly atmosphere— think bright colours and maybe some reggae playing softly. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the furniture is simple but new, and it seemed pretty clean. It definitely wasn't fancy but had a relaxed vibe that was appealing.

The menu focuses on Caribbean staples, with dishes like pepper steak, brown stew chicken, and curry chicken—though availability can apparently be a bit unpredictable based on some reviews. One photo online showed a perfectly plated portion of pepper steak over rice, looking quite tempting. I'd recommend checking what's actually available before ordering, as some reviewers had trouble getting their first choice.

Di Shack's charm lies in its straightforward approach. It's a great place for a quick, reasonably priced Caribbean meal, especially if you're looking for something informal and casual. It's perfect for a lunchtime grab or a casual dinner with friends. However, be aware that pricing and portion sizes seem inconsistent, based on the reviews, so managing your expectations is key.

Too expensive tbh! £18.40 for a meal - had to ask twice! Food was very average, asked for chicken curry (had non) chicken brown stew (had non) So peppered steak slices on rice, didn’t get chance on size just gave me “standard” £11, here’s the issues start, £2 extra for a tiny bit of veg (charged extra max £1!?), £1.20 a tiny 8-9cm festival (microwaved most places 50p-£1), said at £2.40 keep the second! Another kick £3 a drink, at this price give me ice and a glass and a straw! Rice was just about cooked, warmish, not enough sauce, wasn’t even peppery. Didn’t ask even want on a plate even though can see dinning in. Music on a mobile, Too loud, then stopped so they can answer a call. Furniture new but cheap wayfair stuff. Im not being negative - just pointing out things to improve on!! Personally £11-15 for a meal of this quality normally (£8 normal /£10 large) Just TOO over inflated on everything, was going to have dessert/ cake at £5 I’ll go Costco get a full cake £9.95. Wouldn’t return - there’s better for less. 3/10

Absolutely amazing. From ringing me within 5mins of ordering to say unfortunately white rice wasn't available so would you like something else. To the absolute best delivery service from the friendliest person ever. To absolutely amazing and hot food. We will be ordering again. 10/10

Food was amazing & the portion size was more than enough, couldn’t finish it👌🏻 Staff were lovely and helpful especially on deciding what to get if unsure. We ate inside felt very welcome and well looked after. See you again soon.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience. The price is outrageous—£10 for a measly handful of plantains (10 slices to be exact for two portions. You f…. kidding me), and the entire dish (as seen in the attached pictures) cost me £30. It's an absolute joke. To make matters worse, my lamb chops were swapped for jerk chicken due to no lamb chops available after 10 mins placing my order. It can happen. The staff offered me chicken or cancelling the order. Therefore, proactive customer service is much appreciated. All good, we swapped for chicken on the phone. However, the chicken is cheaper by £1.25 on JustEat, yet I received no refund for the price difference or even a little extra chicken to compensate for the last-minute change. This place had great potential in the beginning. Today, however, was a total letdown. I won't be returning, that's for sure.

Ordered jerk chicken off the bone & curry goat with rice and peas, decided to stay and eat in. It was absolutely delirious, hubby said the curry goat was delicious too. Friendly, nice atmosphere will definitely go back and try the patties next time.
