This was the second attempt at eating here (the first time other diners warned us that they'd been…read morewaiting absolutely ages to be fed, so we left). Thankfully this time it was less busy and we grabbed some seats inside. It's certainly a unique place to eat - the only other Caribbean restaurants I'm aware of are the two Turtle Bay chains in the city centre. The interior is all reclaimed materials and vibrantly coloured painted walls. They've only around 30 covers so the place is quite small (expect to struggle to get a spot when it's busy, but there are plenty of other dining options along this stretch of Barlow Moor Road). The menu is pretty concise, which I liked - their Beef Stew Peas was really flavoursome and just about tolerably spicy - I'm sure you can order other dishes that are more so. The sides of coconut rice and mixed peas are quite sizable, so best to share between two. I wasn't a fan of the fried plaintain here unfortunately. Washed down with a bottle of ShinDigger beer it made for a tasty and nicely unusual dinner spot. Tip: it's probably not for you if you're in any sort of hurry; the service was quite slow and it took an age to get the bill.

We stumbled across this great little bar/restaurant after having a few drinks on Beech Road…read more It is quite a small place so you may have to wait at the weekend but we didn't have any issues getting a table. The vibe of the place is great and very laid back. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive although a little slow at times but they were busy so will let them off. We ordered jerk chicken, curried goat, coconut rice and slaw 3 ways. The chicken was just ok - very tasty but the skin wasn't crisp which is a shame as that's my favourite bit! However, the curried goat was the best that I have ever tasted. It was spicy but tasted amazing especially with the coconut rice which was equally as good. The prices are quite reasonable for the area..approx £7 for mains and £3 for all side dishes. I had a Guinness punch which was tasty and quite good value. Overall a great little place which I will certainly return to. If the chicken was crisp then this would be be the best Caribbean cuisine restaurant in Manchester in my opinion.

Absolutely delicious as always & excellent value. As mentioned in my tip, Kool Runnings is a permanent catering van which I have had the pleasure of frequenting for around 10 years. In that time, I have always received consistently tasty food. It is located right in the middle of an area with a lot of Caribbean heritage in Manchester and has always been extremely popular. Many times, I'll arrive to find a reasonable queue all laughing and joking whilst waiting for their West Indian delights. Now, where is that Mount Gay Rum & Ginger Beer :-)

There's only a few tables to dine in but it's open till 9.30pm which is great. There are some (inadvertently) hilarious thank you letters from school children on the wall: my personal favourite says "Your beef batty is tasty." I tried a saltfish fritter for the first time which had a perfect mix of crispy batter and soft filling, would recommend it. The jerk chicken was very different from what I am used to at Buzzrocks. The sauce at Buzzrocks is very thick and in fact solidifies when you put it in the fridge (i.e. the secret to its deliciousness is that it's basically just fat). At Mama Flo's the sauce is thin liquid. It's got a good spicy favour but I miss the indulgent richness. Also although it's more expensive there was less chicken, it was a little dry and the rice and peas were a bit overcooked (fluffy). Unfortunately for me they were out of plaintain so I'll have to pop to try it and maybe sample one of the other dishes - at Buzzrocks I was never very adventurous about trying to the curry or fried chicken etc because the jerk sauce was so addictive but here I will keep sampling the full menu! Carrot cake was ok but a bit dry and was not the best icing.

The plantains were my favourite though - gorgeous! Will definitely be coming back here. Update...I've been back an unhealthy number of times as you can see from my check in count. I basically always order the jerk chicken special (leg I think is tastier) with a full plantain and an extra pot of gravy. The gravy is utterly divine, rich, spicy, it's one of the best things I've ever tasted. Buzzrocks forever! You can buy a full chicken which is great for a big group/party...everyone that tried it loved it!

If you are, you won't have many options, so Buzzrocks is the place for you! I don't know any other Carribean take-aways to compare it to, but this place is excellent. It serves Jamaican and Caribbean classics such as Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat and Callaloo Saltfish, all for around £5 and all served with awesome rice 'n' peas or less exciting boiled rice if you aren't very adventurous. It has vegetarian options, which I'm told are excellent (I personally have always chosen goat or saltfish). Additionally, they have a menu entitled 'only 2 pound to go' if you want to pick up a quick snack on the way past or stock up the fridge with delicious Caribbean treats. This menu includes fried dumplings, plantain and a range of patties (beef, chicken, lamb and fish) which are personally my favourite, all for £1. They also do a good portion of northern chips and gravy with a Caribbean twist for just £2. They even do Jamaican deserts. It does have space to sit down if you want to eat there, and though its standard take-away plastic seats, it's perfectly pleasant. It's not as far from Oxford Road as you might think, and well worth a visit. They are also available as caterers for events. Also, Guinness Punch, if you want to find out what it is, go pay them a visit....
