Everything was perfect. The food was great, and the atmosphere was homely. The owner omar was a great guy too with an awesome sense of humour. I sat inside whilst I ate my food and omar was laughing and joking with everyone that came in. It really added to the experience. I have been back 3 times in the days since first eating there last week. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.

Set just off the busy high street in Cleethorpes sits Cafe Baraka, Omar is the life and soul of the high street, we tried every dish he had to offer and it just got better and better, the Jerk Chicken with Jollof rice is the best we’ve tasted and the curried goat was delightful. A fantastic place with tonnes of character, it is a must visit!

A surprising find close to Cleethorpes Market Place. Omar, the proprietor, was very warm and welcoming, and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. He was proactive about asking how he could tailor our orders to best suit us. As a result, the food was excellent: just enough spice to add a welcome kick without overpowering all the other flavours.

Absolutely love Omar! What a top guy. Come in here often for food after going out and he always prepares it fresh whilst entertaining us at the same time! His jerk chicken box is to die for,and also huge portions! I always have enough for the next day. Comes on a bed of rice and cheesy chips and he adds his special sauce to give it a kick.

Caribbean Guy living in the Uk and was down in Cleethorpes for 3 weeks for a job. First week spent trying the food around town after work and the regular options weren’t worth the mention. Then I stumbled across Cafe Baraka and met the owner Omar ! Absolutely the best Afro-Caribbean food I have tasted being here and I even contemplated moving just because 😂! 10/10💯👑. Even got the hotel staff on to the food and they loved it ✊🏽🫶🏽

First time ordering from mockingbird and not impressed. Delivery time kept getting pushed back later and later. When the order did arrive half the order was missing and what had arrived was stone cold. Had to call many times before getting through to the restaurant. Was told the driver still had it then told it was still at the restaurant. Had to wait even longer for the remaining food to come. All food was cold and soggy. Disappointed is an understatement!
