About Family Vybz
Family Vybz is a Caribbean restaurant on Pershore Rd in Birmingham, taking walk-ins rather than reservations. Jerk chicken is served on a bed of rice and peas with steamed veg, covered in bbq jerk sauce, while curry mutton and rice and peas is a recurring order. Stew chicken also features on the menu, and hard food comes with green bananas. Fried plantains are served alongside rice and peas, and festival dumplings are available as a side. Patties round out the counter offerings. Ackee, a vegan and vegetarian option, has previously appeared on the menu.

“Family Vybz saved us from a disaster! The caterer for our grandad's funeral let us down last minute (I'm talking an hour before!) and we needed food to feed 80 people, and fast! The food was great quality and so tasty. Lots of people commented on how good it was (we had curry mutton and rice and peas). Not only were they able to help us at the drop of a hat, they were the nicest people. On such a challenging day, everyone showed my sister and I such genuine kindness, thank you to all at Family Vybz, we won't hesitate to order from you again.”

“This place used to be the only place I could get good vegan/vegetarian Carribbean food delivered in Birmingham. Last time I ordered, the dumplings were rock hard and inedible but I let slide since the rest of the meal is always good. But since almost all the vegan/vegetarian food has been taken off the menu. I really loved their ackee especially so I'm super disappointed.”

“I've been un decided about writing this review. Family vibe is a great takeaway. I've really bigup this place since it's been opened. Of late something has changed with the food, I invited my friend over for a family Vibe take out. Upon arrival at home. The first thing my friend said was this fish was cooked yesterday. And hard food should have two green banana's. I tasted his fish and it was not the just cooked taste you got . And my stew chicken were dry with little or next to no gravy. In truth the food were mostly salt than flavor. Come on family Vibes what's gone wrong?”

“This place does lovely food and delivery is fast. My only criticism is recently paying extra money for a large portion of mutton, rice and peas then realising it could have fit into a small container!”

Customer Review Summary
Curry mutton is the dish reviewers return to most, described as melting in the mouth and generously portioned, served with rice and peas. Jerk chicken comes close behind, praised for its char, tenderness and slightly spicy sauce, while fried plantains, festival dumpling, patties and a rum and coconut drink called sexy juice also earn mentions. Delivery is called fast. Recent complaints are substantial, though. One reviewer reports undercooked chicken and repeatedly ignored requests for boneless meat and sauce over the meal. Another found stew chicken dry with little gravy, salty food and fish that tasted a day old. A vegetarian customer describes rock hard dumplings and most vegan dishes, including the ackee, gone from the menu, and one diner says a large mutton portion could have fit in a small container. One family recalls the kitchen feeding 80 funeral guests on an hour's notice, with curry mutton and rice and peas drawing compliments.
