Quick info
About Moshan Island Grill/ Box Dinner
Moshan Island Grill is a Caribbean restaurant on Devizes Road in Swindon, set in a halal kitchen where every dish meets that standard. Fried chicken and mutton curry lead the menu, both cited as standout plates, with sides of rice and peas, rice and gravy, and mac and cheese rounding out the offering. Vegan options sit alongside the rest of the menu, and cocktails are served from the bar. The kitchen follows a Caribbean fusion approach, mixing traditional staples with broader influences, and portion sizes run large. Orders are placed at the counter for collection and delivery, with the dining room also open to walk-ins throughout the week.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the fried chicken, repeatedly called the best they've had and praised for its crunch and seasoning, with the mutton curry close behind as a standout. Sides like rice and peas, mac and cheese, and pork belly get named in passing, while mixed grills and lamb also draw praise, and diners note the vegan options and cocktails are worth ordering. Service is described as friendly and the atmosphere relaxed, fitting for the birthday tables and groups that come in. On the negative side, several reviewers take issue with how authentic the Caribbean food feels, with one specifically describing the rice and peas as tasting of microwave and noting the white colour, and others flag the coffee as overpriced and instant, while another found the pork belly burnt. A few point out that the mac and cheese could be cheesier, framing it as personal taste rather than a flaw. Overall most say they will be back, and one first-time customer closed by saying they would order the fried chicken again.

“If you like the place when you walk in, then you're already the dire target audience. Don't expect much, other than above average food and paying £5 for literal instant coffee. Flavourful and tasteless at the same time”
