Quick info
About Hot Spicy Take Away
Hot Spicy Take Away is a Caribbean counter spot on Gloucester's High Street, serving both the Caribbean and Indian takeaway menus from a walk-in counter. Ackee and saltfish sits at the top of the menu as a standout dish, with oxtail and goat curry also regular features, and banana cake on the dessert side. Portion sizes run notably large, and the team behind the counter keeps a friendly presence throughout service. The format suits a quick stop in or a phone-ahead pickup, with the street-level shop handling both styles under one roof.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the oxtail, described as tender, falling off the bone, with deep flavour and spice. The goat curry is close behind, with less kick but still flavoursome, and the ackee and saltfish and banana cake also get mentions. Portions are called enormous and the owner and staff friendly. One reviewer reports being served fish that was a few days old.
