Lovely little place, i was a little aprehensive at first as this is beyond my typical simplistic tastes but the food was delicious (I had jerked pork with rice) and not overly spicy.
They have good vegan options too, my sister is vegan and had no trouble finding food and said it was lovely!
Our server was very friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience much better and the prices are very reasonable.
I would recommend you give this place a try if you're looking for something different.
They also offer take-away if you want to eat at home!
delicious food! best prawns I've had a very long time... we had the special plantain fritters, spicy sizzling prawns (they were divine) then shared a platter for mains and all was phenomenal! definitely recommend and staff were lovely
Booked a table for a Friday night as it was close to our apartment.
Wasn't necessary as fairly quiet all night.
Shared corn fritters with cumin and lime yoghurt to start. They were OK but the lime and cumin didn't come through.
I had ordered a tamarind chicken dish off the specials board but was later told it had sold out. Had to ask to see the menu again.
Both enjoyed our main courses : jerk pork with rice and peas and curried goat with pumpkin rice.
With a bottle of wine the bill came to just over £50.
Would return to try other dishes.
Visited on a Saturday evening, but booked that day as walked past a few times and always people in. Nicely decorated vibrant place, friendly staff and excellent food. We sat in the rear of the restaurant, would of preferred the front but was full so understandable. We had the curried goat, with rice and peas and the jerk chicken with sweet potato fries. Both were really tasty and good size portions. Good range of drinks available at reasonable prices. We had cider and lager, but wine is also available. Would definitely visit again as there's lots more we want to try from the menu. Would recommend a visit.
Popped in for Lunch; had my 1st experience of Caribbean food. Lovely Plant based and meat based options so ordered both opions. Fantastic, welcoming, helpful, friendly informal service from Charlie. Had to say thank you to the chef. Food so good I ordered a goat curry to takeaway which did not disappoint. Great lunch experience, perfect mood music in an artistic setting. Definitely recommend pushing your
comfort zone. This is a charming family feel restaurant.
Had a brilliant meal here during our holiday. The staff work so flippin hard as it got very busy so they are a credit to you :-)
I had THE best goat curry of my life and I've had it many times. This was spot on heat wise too. My husband had the chips which are homemade and we were fighting over ha! My only little comment would be on the beer/cider options. I 100% expect to see Jamaican lager/stout etc but maybe something local would be nice too. Club Tropicana by Tiny Rebel would go very well will the spicy food. On the cider front it really does make me a bit sad ordering a Magners so would recommend stuff from Gwynt y Ddraig, Black Dragon is a fav in the area :-) Really brilliant little place so very glad you are doing so well.
Excellent food, really enjoyed it. Service was a little slow to start, but once we got our starters the rest followed quickly - highly recommend.
Found this wonderful place while looking for somewhere else. So glad we changed our plans. The service was absolutely fantastic, and the clearly freshly made food was excellent! Plenty of vegan options for both of us. We ate far too much, but couldn't resist. Vegetable curry; pumpkin rice; bean burger; and lime slaw; plus fried dumplings, which were so good, but I think the 'Festival' dumplings may have been even better. Maybe next time. Oh, and we had the cinnamon banana cake and sticky ginger cake for dessert too. No wonder we were stuffed!!
Really amazing food, and lovely service. We were greeted at the door and got shown to our tables, with clear explanations of the menu, recommendations and where to locate the specials board.
Made sure there wasn't any cinnamon in my food as I have an allergy to it.
We ordered the Taste of Jamaica platter for 2 and it definitely didn't dissapoint! We also ordered dumplings and plantains as a side and they were also just as great. I've never tried plantains till today and they're really nice actually! It's like a fried banana but tastes like a potato, trust me it's nicer than it sounds! 😁
Overall just a really nice place to eat! And would go there again if in the area (as we're not local) !
Wow, was excited to try Mama Fay's and it more than lived up to reviews. The food is not fancy but packed with flavour. I had a 4 bean chilli and genuinely don't know what magic was done to make it taste so good - and that's even before the dumplings and lime slaw which were amazing. Finished off with a Jamaican coffee (spiced and made with condensed milk). So full I may never eat again, but very happy!
Very friendly service and great value too, only good things to say here, will be back.
