Eat & Sweet - (Real Jamaican Street Food) Caribbean Takeaway in Oldham

I stumbled on this delightful treasure by chance. I'm vegan and my friend is a meat eater. I ordered a vegan dish and my friend had chicken. The meal.was stupendous the service was quick and very friendly. The owner chatted with us the other customers were all so happy to get their meal they chatted. It was fantastic. The chicken and curry goat looked and smelled so delicious I was tempted to give up my veganism. Undoubtedly the best Caribbean 👌 eatery in Manchester providing authentic Caribbean food with the British service ( quick and friendly) Oh and can I just mention the dumplins and the Sorrel. Eat and Sweet ditch the takeaway get a resteraunt.😂 I would love at least 1 vegan dish daily that is also authentically Caribbean even if its soup this would be a game changer as more and more people don't eat meat. Ackee and chick pea or callaloo on its own or with ackee . CHICK Pea curry oyster fried mushrooms .....maybe on 1 particular day of the week.

Wow what can I say the food here was amazing we stumbled upon this after a new one we came to try was closed but we’re glad we did the jerk chick is 10/10 the jerk is charred to perfection the perfect smoke , portion size is great , my partner got oxtail for the first time and he loved it was very soft , the lady who served us was lovely and welcoming will deffo be retuning

Best jamaican food about by a country mile the ladies at the front are amazing

I’ve just placed an order from the place via Uber Eats. I was hesitant to try it at first as I’ve never from here before but I must say the food is great. Size is a big food with fresh and taster and it’s definitely cooked Jamaican style just I like it Will definitely order from here again. The only thing that I would say is a little bit disappointing. Is that when you ordering online the veg and anny extras are add on and could make your meal be quite expensive adding all these extra items on when you’re online.

What a gem of a place. First time I've used your service and I'm very impressed. Jerk meal,brown stew .curry goat with dumplings all for me score 10 out of 10 ....iv found my favourite takeaway, will definitely be back.... regards jimmy.

Wow, just wow, i loved the jerk chicken meal, and the price is average 💯 recommend

Quick service splendid food and gawjus lady staff

After reading all the 5 star reviews,I had to make the journey over,and I was not disappointed friendly staff and the food was beautiful.The curried goat was nice and tender,jerk chicken was nice and spicy thank you I will be back .

Absolutely beautiful carribean take away so tasty and lovely portion jerk chicken was 10/10 the rice is doused in gravy which is lovely and such great value for money , lovely service really nice and clean and lovely people , highly recommend can’t wait to have it again !!

Hi All, have been patronising Eat & Sweet for years now however, because I no longer live in Manchester I hadn’t been for nearly 2years now but today i went into Manchester Town to buy some food, getting there, I found out that they had relocated shops which left me devastated. I walked into the barber shop next door hoping that they would tell me where the new shop was based however, the ladies there turned me Down and suggested I buy food from there but I refused. Despite the fact that I was starving I couldn’t bare the thought of never eating from Eat & Sweet again and went back home. As soon as I got home I began my research and thankfully to God I was able to find Eat & Sweet. GUYS, am a loyal customer and this review is genuine. EAT & SWEET TAKEAWAY IS THE BEST!!! Can’t wait to go there tomorrow and satisfy my cravings Haha.

Didn’t ask for stew veg and not much Ackee and saltfish too much rice and peas

First time visiting. Huge portions, great value for money. The curry goat is amazing. Friendly staff who said when I left I would enjoy, well I did and will return

Walked in for the first time and was greeted with kind happy faces happy to help , took my order and service was quick it smelled amazing, didn't even make it to the car without trying some and just the one mouthful was a burst of flavour i couldnt get home quick enough to eat the rest will definitely be going back :)

Travelled from the southwest for work and I found this gem. I have barely finished my food and I have to say this is now one of my favourite food places in the UK. The staff and management are lovely, there was a queue of people behind me leading out the door so already I understood the people’s appreciation. My partner practically ate the container the jerk chicken came in. It was bussin. I’m back tomorrow before I leave Manchester for sure.

food was inauthentic & quiet frankly awful I’ve had some amazing Caribbean food over the years but this was not it, rice & peas I couldn’t even eat. Delivery driver wouldn’t deliver to my door even though I payed for delivery! Spent over £30 too!

Looking around for a lunch time meat feast and came across this place. All the reviews said it was amazing so had to give it a try I'm made up I did as the meals were amazing, the jerk chicken and rice and peas with steamed veg was amazing , one of the best jerk places I've tried . The jerk was spicy but not too hot...believe. went back another day and it was even spicier, just what I was after. The oxtail with rice and peas was amazing as well. The meat fell off the bone and was so soft and tender wow. The coleslaw was special. So creamy and Morish. Had a lamb pattie as well and it was just as good. Lovely herby flavours coming thru and a kick of spice. With the pastry soft and melts in your mouth. Will be back no doubt .

the food was nice and fresh and was amazing to tea. I enjoyed it too 5 starts

The people working there are so friendly! The food is authentic and so so tasteful. We had the ackee&saltfish with the fried dumplings 1000/10. It was delicious. We also had the curry goat & oxtail. 10/10 The meats were super soft and tender. Not too spicy but just enough! Definitely traveling back to Manchester for these meals. Thank you for the delicious meals!

Been for the first time, truly delicious. Been for the second time was even better. Over the moon to finally find a decent localish carribean. The jerk chicken tasted like it was straight off the grill

We had a delivery to work & ohhhh my it was absolutely gorgeous! There was so many compliments from everyone … we didn’t just settle for one portion more like 2 - 3 plates! I am a very fussy eater so this place says alottttt! Even brought some home with me & wish I brought more. I will be recommending this place 100% & definitely ordering from here! Just hope I’m in his delivery area

I have been to Jamaica and it took me back when I had the food from Eat and Sweet. Excellent food.

Eat & Sweet catered for my work event The food was amazing 100% well presented Definitely a must Real Yard Food

Great place for soul food. Dumplings are gorgeous. Not much room to dine in though.

Have been supporting Dean for years but not been since September when he moved to Failsworth. Last weekend made me realise how much I missed his curry goat. I have tried many but this is definitely the best. So good I'm going back this weekend! Well done, Dean.

My family’s fave spot. Lovely authentic and fresh food, lovely people. So hard these days as a Jamaican to find both good yard food and the service experience that doesn’t make you regret just not cooking it yourself lol but I travel far and wide almost weekly to visit here and it’s so worth it.

Great jerk chicken, large portion.

I just ordered my curry goat with rice and peas from here via just eat and when I say this has to be the best tasting curry goat I have eaten in this country. When I say I had soft meat and the taste had the perfect balance of flavour. The portion size was plenty. I seriously can’t hail up this place enough. The food arrived on time, nice and hot and tamper proof wrapped up. I will be ordering from here again.

I never write a review however… it’s needed. Oxtail and rice is just delicious. The rum cake is to die for! Lovely customer service and very clean atmosphere and space.

Delicious food and portions. Delivery was about 10min at most 15min

I can and I have highly recommended Eat & Sweet. Their curry goat dish is flavoursome and mouthwateringly delicious! Also, the service is always fast and very friendly which leaves you in a good mood. Thank you!

Food was disgusting,the food was wet and soggy and all bone not nice whatsoever , wouldn't, waste of money never again, will not rate it.

excellent customer service and lovely food 👌

food quality is top, portions are big sometimes have leftovers, couldnt have been any betterm Top carribean takeaway. good to see

The best curry goat I’ve had in a long time. I ordered curry goat rice and pea with veg. Was so so nice. Clean fresh. Huge chunks of soft, fall apart goat

Best jerk chicken I’ve ever had

Really kind and friendly staff, food was excellent, will have again.

Good service Low price Good quality food 🥘 I love it 🥰 It’s pure halal 👍👍👍👍

First time here after being recommended, bwoy they weren't wrong,ordered the peppered steak,half rice half chips,,can't fault it,its not to spicy which is the way I like it,full of flavour and the lady who served me is really nice and can't do enough for you,,will definitely be back,thanks

So so so good! Flavours in the curry goat are beautiful and the meat is so tender. Even the steamed veg is delicious!

First time trying this place lovely food And lovely staff 😋 🥰

Food is 10/10 best Jamaican food in North Manchester.

Good Halal food, Oxtail is very authentic

Was OK, would have been better if the whole order had arrived, I only ordered a few things so not sure how that was missed, £2 for a little bit of coleslaw is a bit much too considering it wasn't that nice. The curry was nice. I think it's a bit pricey though for what you get.

I haven’t even finished eating it yet and had to give a 5 star review peppered steak amazing!

Such a great place to get true Jamaican food cooked with passion. The owner works to make this his place and the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be returning soon, thank you 🫶

I got send the wrong drink and the food was full of oil

It's my 1st time ordering from here we had the pepperd steak with rice and peas. It's the best food I've had in a long time. Steak fell to peices the rice was full of flavour. And the portion size is huge. Delivery was for 5pm and the driver was bang on time and very polite. I'll definitely be ordering again.

I've had from food here a few times it's excellent. The food the staff and the spotlessly clean shop are all five stars Simply the best.

Food good as always & packed well. Thank you

The Oxtail was amazing. The dumpling fresh and still crispy on the outside. Excellent stuff.

This place hits the spot. Best halal jerk chicken and rice iv had in North Manchester. Plenty chicken plenty of gravy. Will be back

fantastic peppered steak will order again

Called in for curry goat and rice good size not bad flavour but man it was very greasy and the dumpling had a very strange taste

My Lad and I come here for our Jamaican food fix. It's really good food and friendly welcoming owners.

My first time getting scran from here this evening .. Will defo be back, great service and awesome food . A welcome change from the usual bland food served elsewhere 😋

Wife & I visited to give talk on our time living in Hong Kong to the local Monday Club which meet on the evening if the first Monday of the month. Good car parking and impressive meeting room with good wood floor which could be used as dance floor. Audience of about 35 were very welcoming and organisers presented us with a good sum which we will donate to Dove House.

Big portion and big flavour!! The shop was spotless and the lady was lovely. First time visiting and will definitely not be a last, could not fault it one bit.

Amazing food the banana bread was beautiful

The curried goat, the dumplings and beef patty WOW omg amazing defo my new takeaway if you are looking for something so tasty you can't stop eating defo get down, 10/10 stars from us. My daughter walked out with me and said how lovely the lady was and she really was so friendly 🥰🥰

If you want an authentic jamaican meal I recommend this takeaway. The food is excellent. The staff are very nice and professional. The service is excellent.

Just been for the first time. My order was ready within 10 minutes however they still apologised and gave me free dumplings. This must be the best Jamaican food I have every had! The workers are soo polite and welcoming. Will be back for more!

The Curry Goat🐐 was mouthwatering and the fried chicken🍗 was really crispy and juicy if you need anywhere for a quick bite or looking for authentic Jamaican food I would highly recommend trying Eat & Sweet out as the food from there is delicious.

Jerk chicken is the best I've eaten. Lovely food and service. Will be eating there again

Food is good value for money, excellent service atmosphere is good you can eat in , will definitely going back .

Love the chicken split sandwich

Huge new cash & carry superstore. A great selection of goods & products for all consumer demands! In a great location off a main road too!

My man was busy and still had the time to be a real gentleman I like his attitude more importantly the fooooood is to die for hats off people coming bk today that's how good 👍

Oxtail dinner was fabulous, a will return...Food on point But the dumpling ws ki da tasted stale . Sorry

The best food I've eaten in a very long time.. absolute taste sensation!

Lovely delicious authentic Jamaican food. Great service will most definitely return.

Delicious curry goat, rice 'n' peas. Subtle flavours. The staff (possibly the owners) are friendly. Premises are spotless. Try Eat & Sweet, you won't be disappointed.

Never tried jamaican food before cant believe have missed out for so long. Tha jerk chicken was delicious am definetly going back to try some more.

Without a doubt the best Jamaican food in Manchester. Not a bad dish on the menu - I've tested extensively. Particular highlights are the ox-tail and ackee and salt fish. Marion and Dean are wonderful hosts. I can't recommend them enough.

The food is amazing and the guy who served me is super friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend the salt fish and ackee. Best I’ve had.

So glad to have such a place open up here. Got the fried chicken and it was delicious! Would 10/10 order again. Friendly service too

FIVE STAR FOOD , HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, SO MANY TASTES ! DEFINITELY WILL BE ORDERING AGAIN ! WELL DONE TO EVERYONE X THANK YOU X

Absolutely amazing place! Chef is really friendly the food is on point full of flavour jerk chicken is banging 👌 I will definitely be a regular 😋

Jack chicken with steamy veggie are absolute Banga! My first Jamaican food experience!! It's delicious and delightful!!! Definitely gonna visit again and again 👌🏽

Just been to the new shop in failsworth and the curry goat and jerk chicken were both great and a decent price . The 2 ladies who were serving were very friendly and welcoming we will certainly be back here again

Been a customer for a number of years from Burnage to the Ride Low outlet. Now within walking distance of my front door.

Best Jamaican food I’ve ever had, full of flavour totally different taste to the rest. I’ve been going here for a couple of years in the city centre, I’m glad there opening the new shop in failsworth nearer to home 😊

They came to Leeds carnival and the food was amazing. So amazing that we bought from them on Sunday and then returned on Monday for more. Portion sizes are great and the ladies in the van were really lovely. Highly recommend. Please come back next year!!

Been eating here for years I ❤️ their food, it's my special treat to myself when I come to Manchester.

Excellent authentic food. I had the oxtail and it was delicious. My only feedback is that I wished the restaurant stayed open later in the week. Due to it closing at 6 p.m, I had to go to another Caribbean restaurant for takeaway and the food was horrible. I really wish you stayed open later!

Wow…this was top top yard food an we walked all the way from Liverpool to eat at Eat &Sweet today haha. Marion you’re a star girl and we hope to be back when you find the new premises. Bless Up Paul & Trisha xxx

First time eating Jamaican food, it was excellent, has that real home made taste to it and with generous portions. We had the jerk chicken, goat curry and brown stew chicken. The chap behind the till Dean is lovely.

Honestly the best food ive ever tasted. The curry goat is bursting with flavour. A must try.

Ordered jerk chicken rice and peas with steamed veg and curried goat. All 10/10 friendly staff and threw in an extra snack.

Visited while travelling UK and absolutely mind blown by how delicious it was! Had the jerk chicken and still thinking about it to this day.

Best place in town for real Jamaica cuisine

Great value, fat portions, absolutely delicious and very friendly service. Next time we’re in Manchester we’ll be back. Cheers from Germany!

Very taste hope to be back soon.

Quality Caribbean food. Friendly service. The real deal. Will be returning next time I'm close.

Delicious fresh food I took home some for my family in London. I was surprised never been here before got oxtail and curry goat with rice and peas and steamed vegetables. The kind owner threw in some dumplings for me to take and they were great too. Will be back when in town.

Loved eating here. Jerky chicken was just amazing. My fav now. The chicken was just falling from bones. The tasty ever. Very good portion as well. You got a new fan. Real jamaican food.

It's astonishing, if you have never tasted Jamaican food before, this is the place. The jerk chicken is really moist and tender and the jerk sauce/gravy thing really compliments it. The rice underneath just collects that sauce as it drips down making it even more tasty and taking the essence of the jerk chicken. The charring of the chicken skin also gives a nice bbq flavour too. It may be slightly spicy (I really do like spicy) but that's perfect because you can taste the flavour better. The oxtail is stunning and really tender. Lovely sauce on it too and just as good as the jerk chicken. It's amazing. I really can't recommend it enough! Da iawn!

Exceptional jerk chicken. Huge portions, great service.
