“I got the red pea soup! And I got food poisoning! Had to miss a day of work. Talking to a family friend and they said they got the same thing and got food poisoning TOO! THE FOOD IS NOT FRESH. DO NOT SPEND TOUR MONEY HERE!!!”

“Was really excited to to eat my curry goat with rice and peas. Sadly although the food had flavour, the meat was a real disappointment. It was mostly bone, fat and almost zero meat. It was more like scraps. I feel like I was robbed! Won't be trying that again!”
- Josephine Nadiyah Al Pinay
“The food was really nice, ordered the rice and peas, oxtail and coleslaw. Apart from the server being an Arsenal fan lol customer service was great!”

“Great tasting Caribbean food which is expected. Had the Peppered Steak with white rice and finished it off with a Biscoff Cake. Food is halal so was perfect for breaking my fast. The main thing I would like to highlight is the excellent service by the young man that served us today. Polite, attentive and very professional. A great asset to this establishment and it had to be mentioned.”

“Dellys Caribbean Food in Thornton Heather is the kind of place you visit once and immediately start planning your next trip back. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of slow-cooked spices, smoky grills, and freshly prepared sides sets the tone for a proper Caribbean experience. The staff greet you with warmth and genuine pride in their food, which makes the whole visit feel personal and welcoming. The menu is full of classics, but what truly stands out is the consistency. The jerk chicken is tender with just the right balance of heat and sweetness, and the seasoning tastes like someone’s family recipe handed down through generations. The curry goat is another highlight—rich, flavourful, and falling off the bone, paired perfectly with soft rice and peas. Even the simplest sides, like plantain and coleslaw, feel thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. Service is quick without feeling rushed, and the portion sizes are generous enough that you always leave satisfied. Prices are fair, especially considering the quality and freshness of the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, ordering takeaway, or sitting down for a hearty dinner, Dellys delivers every time. Overall, Dellys Caribbean Food offers some of the most authentic and delicious Caribbean flavours in the area. It’s a spot with real heart, amazing seasoning, and a team that cares about every plate they serve. Highly recommended.”
