About Caribbean Corner Takeaway Smethwick, THIMBLEMILL RD
In the warmer months, Caribbean Corner Takeaway cooks its jerk outdoors on a BBQ drum, a jerk pan setup that callers ring ahead to check is running before they head to the Caribbean kitchen at 1 Thimblemill Rd in Smethwick. Jerk chicken is a recurring order and arrives with rice and peas, which comes with meals as standard alongside steamed veg, with coleslaw offered as a side. The wider menu runs to curry mutton and curry goat, oxtail, ackee and saltfish, mac and cheese, fried dumplings and patties, with sea bass and pepper prawns also listed. Sauce or gravy is sometimes packed separately rather than poured over the food. Orders are placed as a walk-in rather than by reservation, and food goes out for takeaway or delivery for anyone eating at home or at work. The counter opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. Catering for parties is arranged in advance, with the cooking handled on site.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and cluster around quality and consistency. One reviewer who ordered mutton curry received half a portion of rice, no steamed veg, two small pieces of meat and three bare knuckle bones, and cancelled the payment. Another described rice and peas drenched in gravy that went straight in the bin. Others said the jerk chicken tasted old or defrosted and lacked flavour, and one felt the patty was tiny for its price after a long wait.

“I ordered a mutton curry with rice and peas, steamed veg (included as standard) What is got was nowhere near. There was half portion of rice no steamed veg and a tray of sauce with 2 small pieces of meat and 3 large nuckle bones (nothing on them at all) the tray it was delivered in was half empty. I also ordered coleslaw, there was less than a spoon full in the tub (10ml tub) I have never been so disappointed with a food establishment. I have cancelled the payment as why should I pay for something that was never provided !”

“It was lovely of them to pack the sauce instead of pouring it all over the food but.. my jerk chicken didn’t taste like jerk chicken and it tasted old. There was an off taste to the chicken too but the rice and pease was nice”

“Jerk chicken rice and veg for lunch whilst in the area on a painting job. Absolutely delicious, great portion for the price, not much bone with my chicken either which surprised me! But really well cooked thank you! 👌🏻 Wanted to try this place since last summer (when the lady was out front cooking in the drum! 😍)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I originally ordered cornmeal porridge and jerk chicken from Caribbean Corner and I’m convinced they put magic in the pot. The porridge was silky smooth and perfectly spiced - even Goldilocks herself would have thought she struck gold! The jerk chicken? Well, it did exactly what it was meant to do — Juicy, Succulent, Smoky, proper Jerk Jamaican Heat! I’m officially loyal! I’ve got the curry mutton, the oxtail, ackee and salt fish - all of them, dangerously good! The customer service was nothing short of exceptional! If they don’t have it, they’ll try their best to get it. Honestly, Caribbean Corner should be on everybody’s corner! I’ll definitely be back for more!!🔥🇯🇲”
