  “Very rarely do I eat out, particularly Caribbean food, as I struggle to find anywhere in the UK that I truly like. But oh, wasn’t I pleasantly surprised!!! This place is A1 👌🏾 I was in Manchester for work and thought I’d stop by after seeing a few videos online. Absolutely delicious — a few hours later and I’m still thinking about it! I had the jerk and fried chicken mix with curry gravy and festival 😋😍. The portion sizes are HUGE, and he also let us sample the jerk wings… WOW, WOW, WOW! Excellent customer service, lovely vibe and amazing food. 10,000% would recommend! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS FOOD TRUCK”

  “My friends took me here for my first time experience and I was not dissapointed! The team here are so welcoming, approachable and kind. I had a good conversation with them, it was an exchange of good energy and vibe. Food was 10/10, freshly prepared and tasty. Parking is slightly restricted but plenty of streets within the vicinity. Definately reccomend!”

  “I used to be a big fan of this place. Always recommended it my friends if they asked for a curry goat / jerk spot but it’s been 3 times now where I drove for 30 mins to get to their Trafford location only to find out they’re not there or they’re shut. Sort out your opening times either here or on insta.”

  “You see people lining up in the rain driving past and you wonder why.... but once you have tasted the food you find yourself in that very same line... 10/10 the curry beef with rice and please is amazing along with the jerk chicken you can taste the smoke ❤️ FYI CASH ONLY”

  “The best Carribbean spot I've had. I was in Manchester for the day and wanted to find a spot worth visiting, this was a 45 minute walk and I'll walk it every time I come back to Manchester. I wanted some goat curry but they were unfortunately out, but the guys suggested steak curry instead and honestly it was delicious. I was initially a bit unsure, I paid £14 for the Mac n cheese portion and the steak and rice and was wary how good the steak could be at that price. Well, it was perfect, soft, perfectly cooked and FULL of flavour, really solid portion size, I ate half then had to take a break before I finished the rest. I didn't spot any prices was the only thing, not sure if I didn't see them or if there just wasn't any. I will be coming back next time I can for that goat curry ! Real friendly guys running the shop as well.”

  “I've been going to this place from the age of 16 for My Lunch and Dinner, so over 19 years ago now....!!! MY MY MY this place is still going Absolutely Banging with all the flavours of the Caribbean. If you've not been, you need to go cause This is the top location in Manchester. This astonishing gentleman and his son are the best black Caribbean men I've ever Came across met. They fix you up nicely with Energy, Respect, Love and most of all Food. They are above and Beyond... Here is one of the best experience I've ever had buying from any Caribbean place. Full stop...!!!!! There's no one like V and his Handsome Boy, no one like the man himself "VAL"”

  “Got recommended this place and by chance found it whilst searching for chicken split. Although it was a take away taken back to Yorkshire. The food service and value was fantastic. The reggae jerk box was more than enough for me and my partner...We also ordered extra coleslaw and rice”

  “Absolutely love this place! I enjoy the meals so much! It’s a street food van but they make some items fresh on site like the tasty dumplings and jerk chicken…. My usual order is half jerk chicken, rice and peas with coleslaw and a dumpling. I have had the fish with the okra fingers and carrots which was ok but could have done with a little more spice for my personal tastebuds! The Ackee and Saltfish is 10/10 too! The two lovely gentlemen serving deliver great customer service and you are always greeted with a smile. I usually go at 3/4 o’clock if I am going on Saturday because the main food will run out and you need to be quick because the queues can go on forever… They do serve quickly though and the food always comes out 10/10 and nice and hot. Kool runnings my go to if I am in the area”
