Nice Caribbean takeaway or eat in. Friendly West Indian lady serving.
I've just had a Vegetable Fritter which was very tasty, nice & spicy, good size & bargain at just £1.
It's now called Good to go.
We've had take out a few times and it's really good. The stew chicken and oxtail are tasty. The jerk chicken has a nice bbq flavour. However I found the sauce not as good as some places, so I get the chicken alone.
We just had Esme's Eats for the first time and it was so tasty! I ordered the vegan curry and rice, two dumplings, plaintain and chips for me and my daughter and it was plenty for both of us with leftovers too. Will definitely order from here again.
I was passing by the store at lunchtime and dropped in to check it out. I ordered the mutton curry and a portion of Jerk Chicken. The food was ready with 5 minutes or so. I'm glad I took it home because I was in a mess after the Jerk Chicken- it was lovely and I was comfortable scoffing away like a pig in the privag of my own home! The mutton curry with rice & peas was very good with plenty of meat... a very good amount of food considering it was a 'small' portion. Next time I'll order a large and ask for a few dumplings too. Well worth a punt if you're after something different.
At the bottom end of Kings Court, a quiet ally off Kings Heath high street, you can find Esme's eats.
I love their brown stew chicken, ackee and salt fish and sweet potato fries. The chicken is tender and marinated with just the right amount of seasoning and the ackee and salt fish is delicious.
Now I have to admit I don't know much about Caribbean food, so for connoisseurs, you may think I'm clueless. But I like the food and service. Their sweet potato fries are the best. Cut super fine, with less coating and oil than your regular ones elsewhere.
Brought some takeout from esme today, chicken curry and rice and boiled veg was very tasty. Only criticism was the jerk chicken not very Nice, tasted burnt and extremely salty and dry throughout. Other than that great service, friendly staff and other food was very nice
Eaten here several times over the years and always had great food and service so I find it strange to see the one star reviews. Sounds to me like competitors or people who might have some other gripe. In any case I'm a very happy customer and would particularly recommend the hake!
Ive tried many local places that sell Caribbean/Jamaican food and Ive got to say nothing beats Esmes Eats. The food was fresh, tasty & flavour some. An amazing place with friendly staff. One of my fav eateries in Kings Heath
Delicious and authentic. Good portions. Super friendly staff.
Restaurant is quietly located aback the street to better enjoy the good selection of jamaican reggae and enjoy a drink while waiting for the food.
Really nice food, lovely homely atmosphere and friendly service - such a hidden gem in Kings Heath. Strongly recommend to anyone as the menu is great and prices are a lot more affordable than other places in the area.
