Manjaros Sunderland is tucked away in Newcastle, and walking in felt like stepping into a vibrant Caribbean home. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with lively music playing softly in the background. The space features bright colours and artwork, creating a cheerful and inviting environment; it's definitely not stuffy or pretentious.

Their menu is packed with Caribbean favourites, and I was excited by the range of options. They have all the classics – jerk chicken, curries, and plenty of sides. One photo shows a perfectly plated plate of fried plantains, looking golden and delicious. I’d really recommend trying their roti; it was a highlight of my meal.

What makes Manjaros special is its genuine warmth and authenticity. It feels like a place where you could easily spend a long afternoon chatting with friends over delicious food. This is perfect for a casual dinner with friends, a family meal, or just a tasty lunch break. It's a welcome addition to the Newcastle food scene.
