Blue Marlin Perry Barr in Birmingham

The ladies in the shop were fantastic laughing and joking with the customers makes you want to go back for a joke with these ladies

This place is doing the work of god let me tell you, from 2011/12 back when it was " the dutch pot" to now, they still make a*+ authentic jamaican food, se rved with a smile, great staff, a true community hub. Godbless Blue marlin. If everyone had food this good there'd be no issues in the world 🤷‍♂️🏆

Great authentic food Great service Great value

Delicious food, friendly staff.

Best oxtail I’ve ever had, best service too definitely will come back

Amazing food and customer service!!! Thank you!

On Saturday I brought seabass with white rice and veg it was absolutely delicious. Excellent Customer Service the ladies were professional in quick serving the customer 👏 👌

Me and my partner are pescatarian.....we ordered the salmon with rice and steam veg the salmon was abit tough... we go to the wholesale market all the time and buy salmon....this wasn't giving salmon it was giving me trout vibes due to they look a like i'm just saying. I would still eat from there but I just wouldn't order the salmon / trout again but each to their own.

Good food reasonably priced and a good service

Good quality food very friendly staff and service will return

My wife had been constantly telling to get some food from here after she had tasted some at a wedding. I was not disappointed! We ordered the jerk chicken and Curry goat, both with rice and peas. The food was brilliant, tasty, fresh, full of flavour and most importantly, you can tell it was cooked with love! My first time trying this place and it will not be my last. A true HIDDEN GEM! Absolutely brilliant!

Lovely people, very good food 👌

Food usually good & service with a smile.

Big up Tash, very nice food brilliant customer service and most definitely a regular now. ♥️♥️

Been here a few times and the foods always good and the people are polite

Excellent customer service, food. I shall definitely go back.

Friendly staff and good as usual

Brilliant catering service for large numbers. Hot, and tasty food served by friendly staff that are very professional. I would highly recommend.

Great food, always well stocked. Exemplary costumer service, the staff are consistently warm and respectful.

Place is disgusting never have chicken breast always leg or wing dry no flavour very Expensive for what it is lovely people tho the juices and slushy are Nice probably the best thing on the menu iv been here loads off time it’s gone downhill in the past couple off years in my opinion and it’s not been the same since I used to love this place always get you a weird stomach it’s the sauce from the chicken I really hope this place sorts itself out as it was 1 off the best places in HANDSWORTH need todo more chicken breast and put the prices down a little.

It was a delightful experience for my first visit, staff were very friendly and helpful to all the customers. The service was great, and you did not have wait long for your order. My comments about the food, chicken and rice was delicious, steak and rice was awesome, the standard of food is lhigh quality. And this was take away meals. I would also recommend homemade juice, cucumber juice and carrot juice awesome. The shop is clean and tidy and there is a lot of information regarding food allergy.

Amazing food great menu awesome staff

Food was great and fresh, highly recommend the sexy juice. Great value for money

Na this food made my belly runnnnn. I came here yesterday for a mutton dinner. The mutton was so dry, not one piece salt in the veg. And I know for a fact that the rice was a few days old because it had a slight smell & now I’m suffering the following day. Im disappointed. Can’t believe they call themselves a Jamaican shop. I’ll never come back!! Don’t even waste your time going here.

Staff are rude act like they don't want to serve you and food is dry

Always a pleasant experience. Staff are lovely, there is always plenty to choose from and the food is very good.

Love this place lady's are always there to help has much has possible

Today was my first time visiting Blue Marlin and I have to say the customer service I received was phenomenal. The ladies here were soooo lovely and polite, I left with a big smile on my face. On top of that, the food was 10/10, I definitely recommend this place. Thank you ladies 🥰🥰

Previously ate the other branch in city centre.... Well from here we ordered a fried chicken with rice n peas and jerk chicken with rice n peas, also a couple of patties Jerk chicken was tasty, the chicken just crumbed off the bone, fried chicken with gravy was absolutely mouthwatering 👌💯🔥🔥🔥... Lovely customer service with a smile was provided by the ladies Definitely RECOMMEND this place

I got a jerk chicken dinner (small) £7 The jerk chicken was dry and I was given bits of grizzle abs bone. I wouldn’t return.

Ordered Soup yesterday and got Water down Mutton soup. Hardly any food considering I ordered large. Don't try to stretch the soup, give the full flavour. Very disappointed because I recommend Blue Marlin to everyone. Should have taken a picture. Terrible. I read your reply and thank you. It was around 3pm and I didn't see the soup until I got home. So no opportunity to come back. Your reply about how many positive reviews did I give. I gave rave reviews through my place of work and partnership meeting with the Lewisham, Birmingham Council and the NHS. But thank you for your stern reply.

Can’t fault but I do prefer the blue marlin near small heath the food but still Hits the spot It’s not shouted about but meat is halal!!

First time trying Caribbean food. Visited today, and purchased curry goat, rice and peas, fried chicken, dumplings. Keisha was really friendly and welcoming. Her service was outstanding, will deffo be back

Staff always polite..but they can be more quicker when serving food. 🍲 Especially when someone is very hungry.. And please put more oxtail in side of the food container

Friendly staff. Mouth watering food. A little bit of home (the Caribbean) on my doorstep. Clean. Only place I shop for Caribbean food.

So, I have only been here for a few weeks despite living in this area my whole life, and i must say that a few years of my life have been wasted eating at other joints when the dinners here could have been a much better option. Hot, tasty food, halal too if you live in this area and are worried about that, they source from local butchers. I recommend the classic jerk chicken dinner and chicken feet soup. Working my way through all the menu options is difficult when I really just want to eat the jerk chicken dinner. In fact i'm going today. - From the man with the funny accent

Best taste among this area, suitable for everyone

Second visit delicous food lovely friendly staff with a sense of humour too. I can say quality and quantity.. With real Jamaican flavours... Come to Bournemouth/Poole Dorset with your meals... Deeeee... Licous

I love the vibes every time I come for my food! Always greeted with a smile and even my baby gets a little giggle with the staff here. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, food is delicious and the place is spotless which is a good sign!

Beautiful food and Carrot juice, Guinness punch & dumpling were 🔥definitely will go back

Value for money with very genourous portions staff were also friendly p.s you need to try the Guinness punch its 10/10

Ordered a dinner on my lunch break at work, best lunch I’ve ever had. The jerk chicken was perfect. Friendly and welcoming service. Will be returning! Dr J

Ordered a lot of food for my family and friends, they were very patient and accommodating, well worth the 30 mins travel to get good food

Good food good people nice vibe and quick service

Best Jamaican takeaway in Birmingham Food quality is really good Lovely staff

Just moved to the area and I am happy to discover Blue Marlin!! My Dad bought their soups to try and I'm already obsessed! We love the chicken feet soup! I can taste the hours the chicken has been brewing in the soup so yummy ! My family and I are of Chinese descent and we make similar soups ! So it was very heart warming ! :D I can't wait to try some more of their food ^-^

Great food professional staff, not so much with the younger staff im afraid.

Delicious food, great customer service, reasonably priced too, can say is the best West Indian takeaway nearest to Walsall

The service is brilliant and the food is amazing every time. Never a bad experience.

Food is delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. Amazing food as always....love this place

Great place great staff always friendly

Literally across the road and hands down my favourite go to Caribbean takeaway. Has been for years.

The food is OK. Prices reasonable. High recommended. Russell's wake up. But today food tasted burnt even though it didn't look burnt.

One of the best sea food Jamaican restaurants I’ve ever been to. The owner is also a lovely lady and cook her apprentices are also well mannered!! Big up to you all at the shop and best of luck for the future!!

Never been disappointed with the food, its quality ingredients, meat, fish, veg and cakes is always extremely tasty and finger licking 😋, its worth the money and I've been coming here since it had its other name, Dutch Pot I think, friendly service with a smile and even banter ☺️

Fantastic customer service, great food, the best take away in Birmingham if not the country

Proper nice food sky juice is very tasty

Food and service always on point here and the owner is a sweetheart

My husband phone ordered mutton dinner, jerk dinner, salt fish dinner with rice and peas. It was absolutely amazing. It was hot, fresh and so tasty. The most tasty Caribbean food I’ve had. Polite lovely staff as well. Will definitely be coming again. 😍😍😍 - from the bubble waffles (Aston) dessert shop team

Love it will go back again but not so good for parking your car all in all loved the food

I popped in today and ordered some spicy fried chicken and what I received was nothing more than delicious. Thank you 😊

Delicious food and amazing staff - our favourite Jamaican food in Birmingham. Love everything on the menu and would highly recommend! 5+⭐

I drive all the way from westbrom to get my food from this place or I'm sending my uncle to come collect food. Love the chicken foot soup and food is always on point 👉 and he's on his way once again to buy my food 😋

My only reason for not giving 5 stars is simply put the price please try & bring it down just £1 a meal it would make me actually come much more often im very strong with principals we all need to make money but don’t overcharge please but the food is amazing can’t fault it

Amazing food as always hard to get to but worth the journey.

Listen I had to phone them up and say thank you for the 😉beautiful prawns dinner 💯💯💯💯💯the sweet chilli wings 🎉🎉😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Top 3 of best places to eat! Everyone especially the staff are always welcoming, polite, considerate of all their customers. Beautiful smiles always there to greet you. Food is fresh, feels and tastes homemade, quality meats and fish. Excellent range of dishes to choose from. Food is usually presented to you before they wrap it up so you can always make sure your order is correct. Been here many times over more than 5 years. I love their fish tea, mutton soup, rice and peas always on point, fried fish and chicken are not greasy. Salut to the chefs and staff.

Tantalising, my toes dem curl up

The best Caribbean food in Brum... 😋💯

Do not buy Cake from here, cakes not fresh atall.. and @ £3 a slice I expect better .

It was my 1st time here. Staff were super friendly. Food was ok. Jerk chicken was little over cooked. But the Chicken Stew was delicious 😋 Would definitely come back again 🙂

Simply the best fried chicken I've ordered

Fabulous place it's the best by far amd wonderful girls . Keep up the good work 👏 I have the steak,rice peas and veg extra gravey dumpling . Couldn't ask for anything better .

I go to the blue marlin in bartley green and they are lovely the staff are great and friendly and the food is to die for literally been there 3 times this week already!

I've been coming here for many years and the food and service are consistently delivered to a high standard. There is a warm welcome, service with a smile and food which is delicious, tasty and authentically Jamaican. In addition, to the takeaway service, Tasha and the team do an excellent job of providing catering of events, their selection of foods from their wide ranging menu, presentation and value for money, are praise worthy. Whether its dumplings, festival, chicken or a vegan curry, the food always on point!

Staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is good all the time.

Enjoyed my meals could taste the freshness in my meal Beautiful cook 🧑‍🍳

Good food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

Hospitable staff. Reliably & consistently, Great food!

Great food and drink. Pleasant service.

One of the best Jamaican outlets. Always I go for the Salt fish and Ackee and dumplings. Staff are friendly. Always customers coming and going. Hidden gem.

5* Excellent Caribbean Food in Brum. This is my second time trying Blue Marlin in Perry Barr and they have set the standard for quality Caribbean food on the go! The customer service over the phone and in person is professional and friendly and the food is delicious and full of flavour. I can count on them to be open when they say they are and have a good variety of dishes to choose from. Today I had the oxtail and stew dinner with extra oxtail sauce and a side of plantains. Highly recommend! Keep up the good work! #blackexcellence #supportblackbusinesses

My favourite item from Blue Marlin is their Pea Soup. Very healthy, yummy and wholesome.
