Hummingbird in Powys

It's a great place to go to for something to eat. Eat in or take away the choice is yours

Wonderful food, all cooked to perfection and all fresh ingredients. I recommend to anyone to go.

Hearty food, had Jerk Chicken, good size portions, right amount of spice, also Mutton Curry, delicious,meat so tender!!

Me and my partner have ordered 3 days in a row now, we’re obsessed! The burritos are incredible, the flavours are out of this world! Our personal favourite are the mutton topped fries!! If I could give a higher review I would.

Good selection of vegan dishes, but I was accused of vaping inside by the waitress, obviously I had not been. The only thing I can think is that they mistook me filling up my vape for me using it. Either way, it completely put me off my food and I ended up leaving without taking a bite.

Brilliant team and fabulous food.. Highly recommend

Omg the curried mutton is amazing! I'll definitely order again :) so nice to have something different in the area. Gluten free cake was also amazing, and I'm not even gluten free.

Curried mutton was delicious 👍✌️👌

Such good food and great staff. Great cocktails. Will deffo be back soon!

Wanted to say fab things. Read the reviews before we came. Had high hopes. VERY friendly staff. That was good. Rice and peas was very good. Hence the two stars. BUT, no mutton, no goat. Ordered veggie curry. Flavour was nice. But it wasn’t hot - it was like warm and did not include the advertised okra. It was just yam and potato. Also, the quantity was just a small bowl it was like a side dish. It cost £8 and had two new potatoes and 3 small bits of yam in a sauce. My brother and I ordered the same thing: veggie curry, rice and peas side salad and coleslaw (which was about 2 tablespoons each) a can of tang grapefruit. This came to £24.00. Also, the floor was dangerous/slippy and I nearly fell over and the toilet was the same. Lovely people but wouldn’t recommend.

Can’t speak highly enough of Hummingbird. Unfortunately I don’t get to sample the food enough as I’m a bit out of town. The portion sizes are ample and the service you get is always with a smile. Food made and served with love

We were visiting wales for a long weekend and on our way to Carno decided to stop off in Newtown for some lunch. It was pretty late for lunch (3pm) and pretty much everything was closed, we were about to give up and get a greggs when we saw hummingbird. I love Jamaican food but rarely get to eat it as there are very few places that do it (from Sheffield) so was surprised to find one in little Newtown. It was empty when we looked through the window so we were a bit skeptical but are we glad we went in! The owner (whose name I unfortunately can’t remember) was so friendly and welcoming. I (vegetarian) had a veggie patty and plantain and my boyfriend had the curried chicken with chips. It was sooooo good! The owner also gave us some fried dumplings to try that were absolutely delicious. We bought 6 more to take with us and ate over the following days. We had planned to stop by again on the Monday when we were leaving but were very sad to see they were closed. If we are ever in the area again we will be coming back. The food was outstanding and the hospitality was just great. All the best for this place, they deserve a packed restaurant and a line out the door Edit: We have just been back for a second time, a year on! Another long weekend in wales, we knew we had to come back! Though it added an extra 45 minutes onto our journey, we knew it was worth it. Got food to takeaway this time, once again, absolutely phenomenal. They didn’t have any dumplings when I went in (our absolute favourite), but Johnal was kind enough to make some especially for us! So so happy to see they are still open, and I hope business just keeps getting better for them, they deserve it! 100% recommend a visit, we will certainly be making a pitstop here anytime we visit wales (hopefully won’t have to wait a year again).

Called in as couldn't get website order to work. Asked for a random selection of food and handed some money over. Excellent service, excellent food. Will be back!

Friendly and welcoming staff everytime we've been in, service is good and wait times aren't bad especially at lunchtime! Recently had Hummingbird delivered and as usual, we were totally satisfied with the service and food! Johal and his team do an incredible job and provide exemplary food to the town. Priced really well too, getting excellent value for money and possibly the nicest take out food in town. Keep up the great work guys, we look forward to having another Hummingbird soon! We usually have curried Chicken with rice and peas or Sweet potato fries, jerk chicken or fried chicken and occasionally curried mutton.

Tasty but service was very long.

Beautiful food . Recommend to everyone

Absolutely loved the food, staff were so friendly! I had the Jerk Chicken burger,

Food was really great we had the loaded nachos with fried chicken which was fantastic. Top banana 🍌

Decided on lunch...with stepson and girlfriend. Never had Caribbean before and we weren't disappointed. Great flavours and good portions. Will definitely be coming back.

Waited over 90 minutes for our food after told there was a 40 minute wait. Order was incorrect and had multiple dishes missing. So disappointed:(

We got greeted by a polite lady, and then a lovely man who then took our order. Nothing was too much to ask for, and the food was amazing and so reasonable in price!! Will definitely visit again 😍

This was DELICIOUS! I had the lamb poutine and the meat was soooooo tender. Perfect flavouring, very generous portions and so yummy. My grandfather lives in Newtown and I think this will be our regular eat our place whenever we come and visit. So so good.

Excellent restaurant. Food and drink freshly cooked inventive and reasonable prices. Owner really nice genuine guy also the chef. Well worth a visit.

Lovely staff, great service and lovely atmosphere. The food is out the ball park for Newtown with prices you just can't knock. Will be back.

Came here with my wife a few days ago. Happened to just pass by and thought we would try it. Oh my god. The food is amazing. Genuinely one of the best meals I have ever eaten. I had the curried Chicken with Rice and peas and seasoned fries. The curry flavour is so intense and deep and the chicken just melted in my mouth. My wife had the curries prawns and the sauce was so delicious. The service was polite and friendly. The vibe of the whole place was really chilled. If we lived closer we would be in there all the time. An absolute gem of a restaurant.

We stumbled across this place by chance, my goodness I'm glad we did - the food was absolutely incredible! And the staff were super friendly, my husband & I can't recommend this place enough. Outstanding.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely tasty food at a very good price. We will be back

Good food. The mutton was very soft and the coleslaw was amazing. I expected the dumplings to be a crescent shaped dumpling with fillings but the round Jamaican dumplings were very good as well, slightly sweet. The mutton sauce was quite salty which I didn't expect. Good peppermint tea. I was served the best sweet potato chips that I have eaten so far in my life.

Stumbled upon this little gem on accident and hadn’t paid for parking long enough to stay and eat in but couldn’t resist some take out. I’m from Birmingham and we have our fair share of Jamaican places but the food here is by far the nicest I’ve had. The vibe is nice and welcoming. And in my big city living opinion the prices are cheap! Especially for the quality!

Food is brilliant and excellently priced. Service was slow but think they had staff being trained. Love the colours and music. Will be back. 👍

Called in 15mins before closing time, absolutely no issue serving us so late, lovely people, amazing chef and fantastic food. Excellent!

Initially disappointed at a long take out delay but the staff were very apologetic, I understand this happens sometimes but the food was well worth the wait. Never tasted food this delicious before - will definitely be returning !

My first introduction to Jamaican food and it was delicious. A fried chicken wrap, dumplings and sexy juice. Friendly staff, not long to wait and great value for money.

Popped in for lunch. Super helpful, even altering a dish to make it veggie for us. Food was lovely, freshly cooked and tasted authentic Caribbean. We'll definitely be back when we are next in the area.

Lovely restaurant with really nice food, very friendly staff and reasonable prices

Great quality food at a quality price. The Sexy juice was also amazing and looking forward to our next visit when we're in the area

We went there for an evening meal on Saturday really enjoyed it

My $deity that chicken curry is so tasty and tender.

Turned up at 19:25, food was so nice and fresh. Welcomed in with the choice of sit in or take away. Food was so nice and tasty. Only working in the area more than likely to never been up here again but I would recommend anyone who is passing through or who lives there to get in there and enjoy a very delicious meal. 10/10 Thank you guys. Take care

We had (for a party of 4) the bun and cheese, poutin with chicken gravy, jerk chicken and a curried mutton with a side of fried dumplings. It made us very happy. Its a lovely little cafe, tons of atmosphere, friendly staff, great music, and great food. Please support the place.

Was sat waiting for over an hour for just a chicken wrap (the chicken was already cooked and on the counter!). Tasted nice but service was terrible and ended up taking away

We went today for the first time after looking through the window and meaning to try the food for a while. What a treat!! We've tried a selection of different starters and it was all delicious. I wish I was more hungry to eat more! Generous portions, very reasonably priced, friendly staff, and lovingly chosen decor creating a great atmosphere and invoking the spirit of Jamaica. Loved it! We'll definitely be back to try the mains soon! And the desserts sound lovely, too. 😍 Choices of different meat dishes as well as loads of pescetarian and several vegan options, too. Very much recommended!

Could be the best fried chicken I’ve ever had! Sweet potato fries are great and a good size portion. I’m definitely eating from here again

First time here,certainly will not be the last !! Extremely helpful & pleasant owner. 6 stars lol

Visited for lunch, we had chicken pouting and a portion of ackee and saltfish, both dishes were very tasty and a decent portion, the coleslaw that came with the ackee and saltfish was really tasty. The young lad who served us, while he seemed a bit nervous did a great job and the food came out fast, they have my favourite drink which is rubicon passionfruit. The interior could do with brightening up a little but good they are concentrating on getting the food good rather than throwing their profits on the interior. The 2 dishes and 2 drinks came to £16 and we both can't wait to go back and try some more delicious grub

Lovely meal. I had the Caribbean Fried Chicken with rice and peas &side salad with a Ginger beer. Came to £7.70 altogether and was a great portion so fantastic value. The chicken was perfectly crispy and not at all dry. Would have loved a homemade sauce or dip to accompany the meal (I did have some bbq jerk sauce that was on the table but nothing beats homemade). My friend had the curried chicken with rice and a rio and came to the same price. Very tasty, not to heavy but full of flavour and a little kick too! Friendly, warm welcome and our order was taken quickly and food followed not long afterwards. Lovely to have a place like this in Newtown so please go to support it otherwise it'll just become full of fast food chains and have no soul left! My only pointers would be the lighting in the restaurant was a little dark for lunchtime, music a little too loud (although i guess this is personal preference) and the light in the ladies bathroom was out. Toilets could do with a little fix up too. So nice to see lots of people coming and going for their lunch takeaways whilst here. Would definitely recommend this place and I will for sure be back to try the traditional drinks they had on offer too!

Great food, great service, love this place

Popped in on my way to the coast and was bitterly disappointed in this place. I ordered fried chicken to take out which had no garnish or chips or rice. £6.50 for essentially two chicken thighs which had very grey meat and looked like it had been cooked and the meat was very poor quality. Would not be coming back, would rather go to the fish and chip shops. This franchise in particular is run by white people who don't know how to cook Jamaican food.

Delicious food (curried mutton and dumplings), friendly service and owner and nice music.

I popped in for lunch and ordered a poutine snack box (chicken curry) So tasty and a very generous portion. I will definitely be going back again! If you haven't been in already it's a must try! Edit 12/05/23: True to my word my wife and returned for an early dinner and this time tried the Caribbean fried chicken strips with spicy gravy on the side along with our firm favorite "snackbox" chicken curry poutine. Delicious and comparibly priced to a a Weatherspoons whilst being vastly fresher and more enjoyable. 10/10 - recommended.

Food was excellent l! Will definitely order again when I'm in Newtown!

Excellent food. Really enjoyed the Chicken Curry and the Dumplings are just awesome. Plus the staff are lovely and helpful.

Tried the Hummingbird cake, absolutely delicious 😋

Delicious meal, lovely friendly staff, as always 🥰🇯🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I absolutely love Hummingbird and until now I didn't think the curried chicken could be beaten! That is until today when I had the curried mutton, absolutely delicious 😋 I have a new favourite 😍

Superb food, great hosts. What more can you say? The jerk chicken is utterly delightful. 😍😍😍

Wow. Best curry mutton I personally tried

Caribbean fried chicken was delicious, good quality and great value

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Lovey atmosphere

Excellent food, great service, there was a cool DJ club going on when we went in. Thoroughly recommend

Food is lovely as always big portions and friendly staff. Good job

Not bad food, Caribbean style replacing the old chippy which had been there. Very friendly owner. Only tried one meal so far, vegetarian curry, which was quite nice and is sitting well on my stomach a few hours later. My companion had the lamb curry with orange chips. He felt a bit under-awed by it and could only eat half, but the portions were large. The owner explained that orange chips are a Black Country specialty. They are very tasty and slightly sugary, unlike anything I have ever tried before. We’ll probably go again. More likely so, if they offer a lunch special deal with slightly smaller portions, say for £9 including drink.

I had the Vegan curry today for lunch with my husband and our friend. Service was polite and friendly. The food was really good and we didn't have to wait long. The only drawback is that the tables and chairs are fixed and very tight to get in and out of. We all said that we will definitely go again.

Very friendly service and amazing authentic food!

Coming from the Caribbean my self…I can honestly say well done brother! The food is fantastic. Every bite and every sip of that Guinness punch takes me back home ☀️ 🌴 🥥 🏝️. Keep the curry goat!! It is a must.

outstanding! The best food in town! Reasonable prices as well. Oxtail and Mutton are definitely my favourite! They also have vegetarian options :)

If you haven't been here yet, you're seriously missing out. Amazing food, fantastic (huge!) portions and great value for money. It's a great little place and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommend, can't wait to go back.

Great food at great prices, friendly staff who go above and beyond. Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and will be back often. Highly recommended.

The customer service is amazing, everyone there is really polite and friendly. I ordered a snack box with chicken curry and rice and peas, it was great really flavour full.

Wicked food! Amazing staff!! Thank you

Wonderful warm welcome and the most delicious food and drink. I can’t wait to return and try something different from the menu 😊

Amazing food, great tunes, lovely folk. Best food in town. 🙏

Fantastic, authentic food and always great service from Johnal and the team.

Good vibes, great food. So lucky to have this place in Newtown. Every dish we tried was delicious. Don’t miss the Hummingbird Cake and coffee if you get the chance! The owner is absolutely lovely

Amazing food. So tasty and fresh. Visited their food truck and loved the food followed online since and said I'd be back to try the new restaurant and I finally was back in the area to try it out. Wish they delivered to my house but I'm two hours away lol . I will be back next time I'm in Newtown. Thanks for the amazing food.

Absolutely lovely food eat everything and will defo be popping by again when I am next in around. All spices cooked off properly and the mutton way cook perfectly and also the carrot cake was amazing thanks

Great new place. Welcoming and tasty.

Amazing food and service with a smile :)

Muy buen trabajo 👍 Good to see how this is becoming a nice place to try something different and very friendly people.

Excellent, good size portions with lots of meat

Excellent food and service tonight. Spicy and tasty and great value.

Extremely welcoming staff with great Caribbean food. Check them out!
