  “The food was amazing and the servers were friendly and helpful. We went early lunch so it wasn’t very busy but inside feels nice. We had the ribs, pork belly bites and a burger, all of them tasted amazing.”

  “This was my first time trying an Afro-Caribbean restaurant, and Gidi Grill in Dundee delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. ​We kicked things off with their aperitif selection. I opted for their Campari-based twist on a classic Negroni, which arrived beautifully presented with fresh orange, cucumber, and a cherry garnish—vibrant colours and perfectly balanced flavour.. For the main meal, the menu had plenty of tempting choices, but I settled on the meat basket. It was an incredible feast featuring a succulent quarter chicken breast, tender loin chop, a large grilled seasoned sausage, and rump steak cooked to a perfect medium as requested. The basket comes with a side, and they happily let me swap out the standard fries for their traditional Gidi Jollof Rice. The tomato and spiced pepper base gave the rice amazing flavour and authentic depth. I was also offered a starter deal on the king prawn skewers for just £8 alongside the basket, which I gladly added. Everything arrived hot together—the king prawns were juicy and full of flavour, and the entire meat basket with the side came in under £30, representing outstanding value for the quality and portion size. They also have a solid draught beer selection, so enjoying a fresh pint of Peroni with the meal topped it off nicely. Completely step-free street-level entrance with wide doors and smooth internal flooring throughout the dining area. Generous floor spacing between tables, offering plenty of clearance and turning radius for an electric wheelchair. Ideally situated right in the vibrant city centre, just moments from the Caird Hall. There is also an attractive outdoor seating terrace out front, making it a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the view on warmer days. Exceptional food, welcoming service, and genuinely thoughtful wheelchair access. Highly recommended whether you are trying Afro-Caribbean cuisine for the first time or looking for a quality meal in central Dundee.”

  “The food was okay—not bad, but not particularly impressive either. Some dishes were a little spicy. Unfortunately, the service was very slow. It took more than 30 minutes just to take our order, and we waited over an hour for the food to arrive at our table. The long waiting time really affected our overall experience.”

  “Had a graduation meal here! Food was amazing, had the meat basket with jerk sauce which was incredible. Staff were friendly and service was very smooth considering they were very busy. Has a great relaxed atmosphere we be visiting again next time in Dundee”

  “Having Jollof rice has a side meal is undeserving for customer who want a full size meal. The food did not live up to the standard of the price, the servings were small and mostly for the aesthetic. Going to a African inspired restaurant I expected large servings but was heavily disappointed. Nevertheless, the music was on spot, the servers were kind and accommodating but I will say that they were pushy about what to order not giving enough time for questions. Overall, this was a moderate spot to come too but I would not recommend.”

  “Ended up stopping over in Dundee for the night, and stumbled across this place, what can I say it’s was nothing short of perfection. One of my favourite types of food is West Indian/Caribbean and this was up there with the best I’ve had. The staff were all the staff were super friendly and full of energy and good vibes. When I’m next in the area I’ll be coming back!”
