I-Jerk Caribbean Takeaway in Trafford

Jerk Junction Trafford centre. Just overrated and overpriced food. Not worth the journey or the money. Jerk chicken maybe better than the old dry fries chicken. Picture below chips and two pieces of not appetising pieces of chicken. Would not recommend nor would l return to buy there ever.

Amazing place. Proper busy but still give us a top class service and top class food. Very efficient friendly staff and very clean.

Great restaurant, visited Manchester for the day from London, wanted to see if this restaurant was up there with the great carribean restaurant in London Definitely YES, food was tasty well seasoned , great flavour., a very tasty dish. Vibe, atmosphere on point with a nice selection of music. I had jerk chicken boneless with rice and peas and plantin on the side, Exceptional , will defo be telling my friends when they visit manchester!

Probably the best jerk chicken i have tried in the uk by far definitely would recommend coming here if your in the area

We were just in Chorlton for the weekend and were craving some Caribbean food - this really hit the spot! We ordered the curry goat with half rice/half chips, coleslaw, mac & cheese and plantain. Curry goat was packed with flavour, really well spiced and tender. Pleasantly surprised by the coleslaw - I’m not usually a fan but the slaw was still crunchy, not overly heavy and had a nice kick to it, which made it a great accompaniment to the mains. Portions were good size and service was really friendly. We came on a Saturday night and the place was busy, so be prepared to maybe line up for a bit - but worth the wait!

Fantastic service lovely woman Sheree went above and beyond I could not recommend this place enough. Brilliant food always thank you

After visiting my mate I had a long drive home to the Cotswolds and wanted something to keep me going. I had been feeling something with a bit of spice and he recommended Jerk Junction. We went in and the place was a bit dark inside, however that doesn't take away from the quality. I ordered the Jerk Chicken with rice and peas and also a dumpling. My mate got some plantain. As it was nearing the end of the night the server gave us the dumpling and plantain for free as he said they weren't the freshest, but was happy to make some up for us if we wanted, I had to hit the road so didn't take the offer to cook fresh. When I did tuck into the food it was unbelievable, the spice hit just right, a perfect blend of sticky, sweet with the heat to give it some flavour. The portion was big too, so I saved some for the next day and even then it was just as good! The dumpling and plantain were a bit on the hard side so maybe I should've got them fresh, but I will definitely be returning when I'm in the area.

Nice food and nice people. what more could you want

Best Jamaican food in Manchester

So I kinda hate do this considering it's the food I grew up on but went to jerk junction with my freinds yesterday and we bought 3 meals wasn't loads of food but ended up coming up to 76 quid and ngl I wouldn't of minded If it was good but the food was so average probably because I've been cooking it myself all my life and I know how to cook it better but I get peppered stake and the sessions was so off and no veggies and one dumpling then my freinds got curried goat and there was the same no veggies in the mix and it wasn't even on the bone plus or mac an cheese was super over cooked it was just mushy and the plantain was so bland I will never return to this place unfortunately but hopefully the can learn from there mistakes considering carrabien food it's amazing when you get it right hopefully there sticking to there organial recipes .Overall id give it 4/10 especially for the price

What can I say but Thanks for the flavours 🤣 unreal food and lovely staff even though I kept adding to my order and ended up ordering about 8 meals there wasn't a issue , this is the only Jamaican food shop outside London worth eating from , proper tings 🏆💯🔥

Our service lady Sherri was absolutely lovely. Really nice vibe she's a credit to the shop. Keep up the good work . Much love from Mr p

My first Carabean exp turned out very good, ok price , nice flavour of jerk thighs , but i recommend to def get a drink with it

Me and 4 friends came and honestly the food is amazing and the staff are so attentive !

Amazing food. The vibes were great and the ambience was 10/10 can’t fault the place!

Homophobic place... unfortunately these people think that their life is the only one that matters and we are in the same boat honey

Fantastic food and service. Will be back

After ordering jerk chicken on a bed of fries and a lamb patty my food wasn’t what it seemed . Patty pastry was hard round the edges and fries was hard like they were never cooked I haven’t tried the jerk chicken yet as I am upset to the fact this put me of straight away was quiet looking forward to this takeaway as I did a 9 o’clock shift to 9 at night very disappointment never again

Best Jerk Caribbean Gaff in Manchester No.1 Jerk Junction

The food is good but the prices are way too high for a take away style restaurant. The person who served was also pretty rude for no reason 🤷 Not great value for money and pretty vibey

Really nice food but very expensive for what what you get. 2 Dishes (Peppered Steak & Jerk Chicken) and 1 Drink. £34!! Service is brilliant from staff and well looked after.

The food was amazing, the chicken was juicy and filled with flavours.

No tap water available for my 2 year old, they made us buy a bottle. Toilets need a key to access, we were told that they were out of order. Pretty shocking for a restaurant not to offer water or toilets. Food was good, but £13.50 for food served in a plastic tray isn’t good value.

Food was amazing Asad was really helpful exception customer service:)

Food was amazing. Great service from asad!

Asad was great and very helpful !!

So nice. Food was banging. Service was great gave me a discount because I was struggling to pay and a free drink. Definitely recommend great vibe.

I had wonderful experience here. Especially staff is on next level professionalism. Food quality and service is excellent 🤙🏻

10/10!!! Lovely staff, delicious food! Definitely visiting again.

Very nice people gave me a discount and free water and food is really good

The food was super amazing. IT JUST GAVE MY TATSEBUD A CHEESE. The staff was very welcoming and humble. Will definitely visit again. Recommend 💯

Friendly environment, place was clean as well

The brown stew chicken was absolutely amazing and my cousin loved her curry goat. Definitely my new spot for food.

Me and my friend both got sick after eating here yesterday, which is a shame because the food was nice. Probably won’t eat here again…

Food was decent. The plantain wasn't the best on this occasion. Ordered to pick up for 7.15. It was 7.38 by the time I left. Staff seemed to be rushed off their feet. Not much of an atmosphere, and really really cold. Decent Jerk food in Manchester.

This was the best soul food Iv had in a long time , if not the best. The jerk is actually smoked and BBQ ‘d to perfection with a crispy skin. The pepper steak literally melts in your mouth. Rice and peas on Point. I would definitely recommend this place, and def no1 in Manchester if not uk. Well done guys, food to be truly proud of. Just been back today (11/1/25) after it has re-opened and it didn’t disappoint. Dare I even say the jerk chicken has even improved which is some achievement given how good it was. It was an eating in capacity which is very useful if you want to eat it straight out of the kitchen , fresh and hot. I stand by my previous statement that this is by far the best Caribbean food I’ve tasted. Looking to forward to the new franchise in Trafford centre as well.

Had a take away while in Manchester , the food was amazing . Would highly recommend

Simple menu and a queue of people immediately signalled everything was waiting for. Jerk chicken with half rice n peas and fries with a pot of their homemade hot sauce. It's one of the best meals I've had. This high quality and honest food!!

5 star service .Asad was amazing

Very rude employer the lady is down to earth but the guy is very rude.

Food portions have gone very small and prices have gone up

Not to sabby. Was nice but we came at the end of the day so food wasn't that fresh but still nice

The staff are very friendly and helpful and professional for such a young team.

Really good food. Healthy, tasty and a lot of variation. Would be a 5 star but a few things: - A bit overpriced for me. - Every order served in plastic containers, even if you're eating in... Just buy some metal containers and silverware. I don't want to waste that much every time I eat.

Such a beautiful change after the re build the staff are amazing, friendly and chatty !! Goat spring roll is amazing add to the menu Thank k n M

Outstanding! The guy as well is real cool and chilled, honestly amazing!

What a nice place was so nice will be back

A kids portion size for 15.50 - never again

GREAT PLACE FOOD OKNOT BAD WILL POP IN AGAIN ONLY IF I'M PASSING

Really enjoyed the Curried chicken was very authentic Jamaican food, and not to mention the Rum Cake. Service from Josh was exceptional and he helped us choose which dish to have, I was also tempted by the Jerk chicken but I will definitely be visiting again. Overall thank you for some lovely delicious food and my belly is full

Portions are huge and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Glad you guys are back! Foods as good as ever, staff are very attentive and welcoming whether you’re a new or returning customer. No complaints at all, just great food and good vibes. If you’re in Manchester then look no further, make sure you stop by…You won’t be disappointed.

Great food the big tingz is 0/10

Called in here on way past on a whim and food really good with a really friendly bunch serving. Will come back! Baby changing facilities would make it even better :)

Not been here for many years as moved away from the area but im back now this is my new regular spot.

Food is spot on & always fresh 5*

Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff, and good food. Portion sizes are👌

Avoid giving your money to Jerk Junction, not only because it’s over priced, but owner Jake Shaffi and operations manager Joe are not good people. Jerk Junction is a shambles and I saw many customers complaining about how Jerk Junction has commercialised and no longer care for their customers. There are plenty of better Caribbean food shops like Kool Runnings, Sasa’s, and Buckles and Jerdine that are run by good, honest, hard working people. I enquired about any part-time vacancies to run alongside my master’s degree and made a verbal agreement with Joe to undertake a 2.5 hour paid trial shift. I attended the trial shift, and was supervised by Rachel who was friendly. The owner, Jake Shaffi, visited the shop during my trial shift with the attitude of an arrogant 16yo boy, he refused to acknowledge me (a potential employee) despite Rachel and myself making genuine attempts. It was very strange behaviour, he appeared to be intimidated by my presence because he’s a slim man, and I have an athletic build. I performed well and Rachel said she would report back to Joe who would be in touch. I didn’t get paid on the night because Joe wasn’t working, although he previously informed me he would be there. Since the trial shift Joe has misled me with phone calls and messages about the outcome , stating the feedback was “amazing”, requesting my university timetable, and informing me he would call, but not taking any action. Now 2 weeks later I still haven’t been paid or received a response. Moral of the story, owner Jake Shaffi and ops manager Joe are unpleasant people. I recommend you spend your money in the other Carribean food shops where the people are much nicer, and the food is cheaper and tastier.

I was shocked at how good it was. The fries were cooked fresh and the chicken was moist and fantastically seasoned. The jerk gravy was so good I could drink it. Price was perfect for what I got and I'll be going back.

Only popped in for some jerk chicken to take home, the staff were friendly and the food was excellent a real authentic taste 👏

Chicken was undercooked and tastes of dunns river seasoning. Not what it used to be like. Was looking forward to it reopening and how disappointing the food has become. Will have to stick to cool runnings in the future. Becoming to commercialised and can tell by how the food has gone down

Jerk chicken was tasty but has gotten too pricy. 13.50 is too much for what it is. Also, the portion sizes seem to have gotten slighty smaller. Nice food, but too pricey 13.50 is way too much

The woman that served me was so kind I loved the food 😍😍 will defo come back again 🥰

Who needs Turtle Bay Jerk Junction is banging food was incredible my compliments to the Chef absolutely 💯 would recommend to everyone 👌 the goat curry an lamb chops were something else real food

I recently used JJ to cater for a party of 65. The food was amazing and the help I got from Mel organising everything was excellent! Highly recommended!

Food was small very small. Prices were crazy Wings needed to be air fried once home Mac n cheese was not the best Spring roll was full off meat n cheese or flavour Overrated used to be good!!!

I've been there twice since the reopening. For me the food is too spicy to enjoy (and too much clove in the mix) and overpriced. Also, it's the only take away I've been to in recent months that still unashamedly uses single-user plastic trays rather than recyclable takeaway containers. The place has a nice and clean interior now, so pleasant vibe. The chicken tastes really good too. But the jerk sauce is just not right. I enjoyed it more before the reopening.

I am absolutely APPALLED by the level of disrespect staff have faced from the so called manager “RACHEL.” I recently visited jerk junction and was shocked by how the manager treated the staff. I witnessed them speaking down to employees in front of customers, creating a tense and uncomfortable atmosphere. The staff looked visibly distressed, which ruined the dining experience. While the food was decent, the lack of respect for the team was appalling. I won't be returning. Such horrible establishment will not be receiving my money . I will be letting others know about this .

So so happy to have visited again! Food was even better ☺️ Had the Bing Tingz meal as you can have two protein’s. It was delicious. Staff are lovely as always and so made up you are back again at Chorlton ❤️

I hired Jerk Junction for a corporate function and, my goodness, did they deliver! The food was INCREDIBLE, everyone said so, and the staff were responsive and friendly. The curried goat all went, the plantain was to die for and the jerk chicken rice & peas was particularly tasty. Absolutely faultless service - I cannot recommend highly enough!

Me and my mum visited yesterday for the first time and got some take out. I had curry goat which was very spicy and lovely soft chunks of meat. Mum enjoyed her food and she is very fussy. Service was good. Definitely be back.

The food was soo nice well flav ored nd filling too We had a nice time too Staffs were good

Visited here today after a few years and I was really pleased with the service this place delivered! The food options were excellent and all looked so authentic and home cooked (which is the best) The service from the staff was amazing and they were so friendly and welcoming! Prices were Steep but it was worth it because of the service received and the food tasted GOOOOOODD and big portions! I ordered the Oxtail & Rice and peas and a few extras! Definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon!

Tasty food great customer service and a nice eat in area

Miss you guys when you gonna open back 🥹❤️

Just wondering when you'll be open again.?

Tye's cooking at Salford Quays Jerk Junction was superb. Loved the Jerk chicken with a side of dumplings. Not too spicy, dumplings were perfectly crisp, good portion, chicken was juicy and falling off the bone. Sublime!

absolutely love both the altrincham and chorlton kitchens. such amazing food and lovely people. drive so far to eat here as often as i can!!! the curried goat and jerk chicken are outstanding.

Ordered food online they took my money, went to pick up and the place was not open. It was like a building site. Can’t get hold of anyone for a refund. Tried calling them so I have contacted my bank.

Great food every time!! Lovely friendly staff and one of my favourite places to eat.

Restaurant showing as open and taking orders online! Takes the money turn up and it’s a building site (Altrincham)

Hello, I placed an order on Saturday 9th Sep through your website but I never got the food delivered and money got deducted. Kindly help.

Food is always amazing love coming here and sitting outside in the sun

Fantastic food and superb ambience and reasonable cost

The food was very good I really enjoyed it will go again

Lovely jerk chicken meal. Sides out of stock but quick service and good portions.

Great food. Excellent service. I will definitely go back to try more.

We drove 10 miles to jerk junction after hearing about it and it didn’t disappoint. Food was still hot when we got home and we all agreed it was the best Carribean food we have had 😍 10/10

Food always delivers/tastes great 🫶👌

Travelled from Wolverhampton to try this and I can say I will be coming back

If I could give 100 stars I would! Best Jerk Chicken in the UK!

Lovely great priced peri chicken up from London and found this place, wow superb thanks

I wanted the curry goat and the scotch bonnet and jam wings unfortunately they had sold out of everything except the jerk chicken rice and peas with jerk gravy 😋 it was really nice I will be going back to try the curry coat 😋
