I-Jerk Caribbean Takeaway in Trafford

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

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

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 :)

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

Food is spot on & always fresh 5*

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.

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!

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

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

It's OK not the best had better

So sad to heat of your fire here 😢 your flagship store was on my radar to review your food because I hear its the beat most authentic Jamaican food in Manchester I hope you have a speedy refit and get bk to serving your local community with your fine cuisine my heartfelt sympathy go's out to you guys love the fat foodie mcr

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.

Food always delivers/tastes great 🫶👌

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

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 😋

Lovely chicken from a Caribbean bar in Chorley Thank you so much it was well tasty

Acceptable food but seems to have lost the true carribean taste

THESE LOT KNOW REAL JAMAICAN FOOD , EASILY THE BEST PLACE IN THE NORTH FOR TRADITIONAL CARIBBEAN FOOD , OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND NEXT LEVEL FLAVOUR, I HAD JERK CHICKEN , CURRY GOAT AND PEPPER STEAK AND WINGS WITH MY PAL AND WE SHARED IT , 2 WEEKS LATER IM STILL DREAMING ABOUT IT AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN , 10/10 ON EVERY LEVEL

Used to eat here regularly but recently this place has really gone down in my estimation… I get that we are in tough times and everyone has to make a living but this place is literally bending people over it’s gone so expensive £14 for 1 meal (chicken, rice & peas and a dumplin) you can get 2 for that price from other Caribbean outlets, don’t get me wrong, the packaging and presentation have improved immensely but it’s still very overpriced , 1 style bbq gravy 🤨 not everyone likes bbq, there used to be a choice you get charged extra for not having it on your meal it’s classed as a side 🤷🏻 very disappointing ☹️

We went here this evening as we have no decent Caribbean food locally, and we were not disappointed! Food was incredible! So so tasty and amazing size potions. We literally ordered half the Menu after reading the reviews and wanting to try everything. And if the food wasnt good enough the staff are absolutely lovely. Super friend and super sweet. Thanks for the gravy and drink your too cute. Will be back soon to ry the other half of the menu 😅😋 1000% recommend x

Great food, portions, everything cake is a must!!!

Its been a few years since we last came as its not really local to us and a lot has changed. I love the new seating area, it looks great, and I love the way the food is presented. The food looks and tastes great. 😋 totally gonna visit again soon.

Spontaneous visit as I was driving past Manchester and saw this place on Tiktok. It definitely lives up to the hype. Tasty, good portion size and quick service. Highly recommend Parked on a nearby side road and walked (1 min walk)

Food was really nice, portion size really good. Waited about 40 mins for our order then told they had run out of wings they we're happy to replace with something else however nothing was ready so just got a refund, which they were happy to do. Nice venue, staff were friendly, food presentation spot on. Will go back for sure but will pre order well in advance of collecting.

Very small in the inside but more of take away but amazing

Nice little food place. Portion sizes of meat could be better but still good food

A friend took me here at the weekend and I'm glad he did. Food was delicious! The Mac n Cheese was insane. If I didn't live 3 hours away I'd be a regular. Big portions too!

Too expensive and small portions full of rice tiny pieces of chicken

Visited with my family. Food delicious, hearty and great portion size! Highly recommend

Wow! The jerk chicken was absolutely exceptional here! Seasoned and cooked to perfection, alongside the delicious rice, peas and gravy, it was truly mouth watering. Great vibe of a place too, with exceptional service. Can’t wait to be back here!

We've been past Jerk Junction countless times but never dined there for some reason. We decided to stop by before the Arctic Monkeys gig last night and it was everything we expected. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The staff were really helpful and engaging, the whole experience was excellent. One minor gripe was that we ordered and weren't served until quite a bit after people that ordered after us. There may have been a reason for this but it didn't negatively affect our experience. Cannot recommend highly enough. If you're in Manchester, make the trip. Well worth it.

Food was beautiful very authentic, great atmosphere

My first visit here, the food was lovely, the sun was shining I actually felt like I was abroad on holiday great atmosphere ... I will return, deffo recommend!!...

Even tastier Brown Stew Chicken than normal! very tasty, a nice kick of chilli and beautiful rice and peas. Yum!

The best jerk chicken I’ve ever had and lovely atmosphere

Been coming here for years. It used to be one of the best Caribbean takeaways in Manchester. Since it's been taken over in the past couple of years it has changed for the worse, prices have gone up and food quality has gone down. I ordered fried chicken and it used to be on the bone - drumsticks and thighs in their own coating. Now it's chicken goujons/breast that tastes like something from the frozen food aisle of a supermarket. The jerk gravy is also not nice. This is not authentic Caribbean food. The place seems more obsessed with its Instagram image and maximising profits than serving decent food. It needs to go back to its roots. The other local Caribbean takeaways are much better. Disappointing.

Been going to jerk junction for years, tried other places which are good but jerk junction is on another level,

The food is absolutely delicious I will definitely be going back & would recommend it 100%

Top quality and customer service on point.

Amazing jerked chicken. Really friendly people, nice atmosphere. Gave me free gravy

The best food ive had from any food shop staff are top people and i will be back most days why working here 😁

Very tasty and amazing Jamaican halal food. The goat curry was very tasty but the jerk chicken loaded fries was the best. Will definitely have again!

Go early to avoid disappointment as they run out all the time.....and also be prepared to wait

Super tasty and staff were lovely

Beautiful food. Highly recommended if you love Caribbean food. Well seasoned meat. Love them

Not as good as it use to be, the food tasted a lot better before the changes, and the staff were more interactive with the customers and the prices you pay for the portion sizes is expensive

This is the most authentic Caribbean cuisine in Manchester. There food is so delicious, well seasoned, and good choice options. Every thing I’ve tasted so far is on point. My most favorite is the jerk chicken meal and I always order it with a slice of cake.

Excellent tasty food. We had a jerk chicken and a goat curry. The portions are large, and good value. I must advise customers to have a pot of gravy with each dish. The jerk chicken dish contained a leg of chicken, which can be picked up with both hands. It was a bit like being back at my mother's' house, enjoying lovely home cooking. How often do restaurants serve a leg of chicken, the tastiest part of the bird? They never do, these days, it seems. Certainly the swanky ones don't, with their armies of chefs wearing tall white hats. They don't even buy in whole chickens very often. It's usually pieces of breast. We will definitely be returning to Jerk Junction.

Jerk junction has the best Caribbean food in Manchester by far. No one else can compete. Keep up the amazing work guys

Best Caribbean food in Manchester!!!

Ordered a curried goat.. tasty nice food however full of bones and cartlidge., slightly off putting for 15 sheets ☹️

The manager tried to accuse me of putting a fake review despite the fact that I have eaten here. Absolutely terrible attitudes from all staff, food is massively overrated and management can't handle criticism. Music and atmosphere isn't nice at all. Xoxo

The amount of food you get for the price is well expensive. You can go for a nice restaurant for that and get more. I got only one leg of the chicken and some rice for £10+ . The staff was a bit rude too. I normally don't review anything places but I was greatly disappointed ☹️

Myself and my mate Mark visited jerk junction on a Sunday afternoon. This is my second visit to this eatery. The food is that good, I took my mate who likes Caribbean food. I ordered curry 🍛 goat 🐐 and Mark had brown stew. Both our meals were really tasty and good-sized portions. The food is some of the best Caribbean food I've eaten, and well worth the travel from Liverpool that we made. The staff are really friendly and they served us promptly. Prices are reasonable. You can either take away or dine in. It's a rustic place, but nevertheless, it was nice to sit and eat our meals 😋 on site. If you're in the area and like authentic Caribbean food, pop into jerk junction 😋

Food was spot on been to lots of Caribbean food places and this is up there with the best.
