Lovely food as always & special mention for Shaunah our waitress who was super efficient & friendly..!

We had a lovely meal our waitress Lara was very attentive and friendly. We would recommend jamaya!

We had a beautiful experience at Jamaya Soilhull thank you Simi and team for some amazing dishes, really great atmosphere fantastic music. For a 2nd I thought I was at a beach in the Caribbean and the cocktails where to die for… Will be back

The waitress was really lovely her name was shaunah she was so patient with us and really good at her job

Had heard the food was delicious and the service was on point so needed to go and experience for myself. Great way to spend some of my birthday with some Carribbean.delights, super tasty jerk chicken and festivals plus rice and peas and mixed salad plus the Dunns River cocktails were superb and the other tasty bites l had from my guest the brown stew chicken was on point. The staff were amazing this place is amazing a nice little friendly Carribbean gem. Will definitely be popping in again. Glad l experienced it for myself and listened to recommendation. Cheers Jamaya, nice way to begin my birthday evening 👍

Sara was friendly & efficient, thank you! 🩷

Lovely food. Service was very good. Nice and friendly staff

Amazing food and customer service. Thank you to Sara and Shaunah.

I went during lunch the other person I came in with got served 10 mins before me and nearly finished before I got my food. I got the jam chicken and rice the chicken wasn’t great something I could easily make at home the rice was over cooked and the sauce was concealed and not warm .

Quick service, amazing tasting food, staff are very helpful

They ran out of fries. Apart from that everything was excellent. Amazing staff.

my fav place ever, Sara was a brilliant server thank you ! xxxxxx

Served by Shaunah & Sara - lovely girls and prompt service.

Great food and great service from Sara and Lara

I honestly can't believe how disappointing my experience was with the Jam Chicken and Rice dish. For a price of £13.50, I expected a decent portion, but what I got was an absolute joke. The serving size was ridiculously small – more like a snack than a meal. I could barely make a dent in my hunger, and for that price, it's borderline a scam. The chicken was bland and rubbery, and the rice felt like it had been sitting around for hours. Honestly, I’ve had better takeaways for half the price, with much larger portions and better quality. To charge over £13 for something that barely fills a small plate is just daylight robbery. I will never be coming back. Definitely not worth the money – save your cash and go somewhere else.

Sara and Adrian made a our dinner with friends a truly wonderful experience. Music was a bit loud for conversation but overall it was such a lovely evening. Xx

I would recommend Jamaya in Solihull. The food is good and the staff are lovely and friendly. Thank you Sara

Never been before to Solihull and came across this place whilst shopping, our server was absolutely lovely and attentive ( I think her name was Sana ) food was great and on time and the venue was kept clean and look amazing, I’d definitely come back

La segunda vez que hemos estado para el almuerzo, las dos veces no podía faltar el personal o la comida. Sana era nuestra camarera que era encantadora y no podía hacer lo suficiente. Nos gustó mucho - nos deffo volveremos pronto : - )

Absolutely delicious food, Mi Can’t lie, them wings are BUSSIN

Enjoyed our meal tonight with our toddler. Portion sizes were good and our little one thoroughly enjoyed her chicken wrap. The service was very good and accommodating, the waitress even went out of her way to get us some BBQ sauce! Thanks to Keisha and Olivia.

Gracias a Amanda y Laura por su excelente y amable servicio. La comida es genial y la oferta de la hora del almuerzo es muy buena relación calidad-precio. Recomendaría Jamaya, Solihull.

Attitude of staff is very hostile & the wait for food is a joke. It’s a good thing I have no allergies because I asked for my food to have no sauce & it’s still came out with sauce. Fix the attitude & food service.

We had burgers and fries. Really tasty - great level of spicing and decent portion sizes. Food was piping hot. Customer service was good - had an issue with one of the meals, this was dealt with proactively and professionally by staff. Would visit again

A very good meal, nice staff and lovely atmosphere. Great drinks, we highly recommend it. The music was good and chilled.

10 de cada 10 comida era increíble , cocinado bien y el servicio era genial, Laura era increíble, gran servicio y servicial en todo. Tenemos una experiencia Jamaya para compartir y Mac extra y queso, me chupé mis diez dedos dem. Mi gente sabe qué hacer.

We were served by Keisha and Olivia, they provided great service and were very kind. Food was great, would recommend

Came back yesterday after a terrible experience last year. I just want to say thank you to the lovely manager and the team for looking after us yesterday. We were treated to a complimentary meal and drinks. The food was amazing as always, and the service was brilliant. You are an asset to Jamaya and we will be coming back as often as we used to. Thank you!

Keisha was very polite and helpful when taking our order.

Jerk chicken, Sunday roast is on point, very tasty tender chicken love the marinade. Food i cannot complain. However chicken sizes are on the small size. I ordered half chicken but they were like baby chickens which wasn't very satisfying. Sunday roast I love but cabbage vegetables was small amount, would be nice to have more veggies. Seating place is not great, there are alot of tables close to each other so doesn't feel private when you want to eat in peace.

This place is elite. The food is top tier, service top tier. I cannot recommend this place enough & the fact you see uncultured people heading to nandos opposite instead of here is a cardinal sin. Don't go to nandos, go to jamayas, you will not be let down. Unfortunately, they cannot really cater for gluten allergies due to the cross contamination.

Leeah was amazing will definatly visit again she made us both feel very welcomed and offered some gd items!!

Food was amazing, husband is autistic and funny with food, leeah serve us and helped us order his safe foods and we were all able to eat out together with our friends definately be back to try everything on the menu

Was served by Keisha really friendly and gave us a good experience.

Food...A1. Service.. A1. Atmosphere..A1. A gem of a find... Recommend this place 100%.

Best burger ever,really good flavours. Definitely be back to explore more .

Delicious food! I had the jam chicken and rice and the sauce they do with is just the tastiest sauce I've ever had. Fantastic customer service and a lovely atmosphere.

Throughly disappointed. I use to love coming to jamaya however tonight's food and service was disappointing. I think they are under new management. Won't be coming back you lost a loyal customer tonight 👎 back to turtle bay

Pretty solid food at reasonable prices with 2 for 1 cocktails and mocktails from 5 till 8. Fair value for money, especially given how nice the food was, our party tried bits across the menu. Spice wise, the hot isn't super hot (at least to my palate) so you won't be burned to a crisp. Did have a couple of issues though, two dishes and two drinks weren't available (didn't have the ingredients in) and the one cocktail. The décor is interesting, but folks at our table banged their heads on pans and such over the table when getting up. Staff were friendly enough, and apologised for late dishes or unavailable items, but didn't look to be loving life. One thing that was disappointing was that the loos were rather grim. No paper in the gents and stalls were very grotty. One of the folks in our party went to the loos in the centre instead. So, decent food but a few negatives sadly.

Group of 10 of us ate here yesterday, I personally have been a good few times but yesterday was the first time I experienced the Sunday lunch and wow was it worth it!! Absolutely gorgeous and the service was 10/10, definitely improved since the last times I’ve been and the manager was so lovely! Only thing I would like to see is the drink sizes increasing. For what you pay for a cocktail, I think you should be getting a lot more than a little wine glass full, especially when the rum punch tastes that good! Other than that, I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back for Sunday lunch again!

Always give credit where it’s due. Ashley the manager was very accommodating. The music is top notch, even at 9pm the food was nice and hot and flavourful. With plenty of options in this centre, As a Londoner a lot of London establishments could take note from here. I will most certainly be back.

I used to love Jamayas so much! Me and bae always come here and it never fails to satisfy us. The vibes are amazing and so is the service. As a fellow jamaican the music is the best. The food is halal too which is good since there is barely any halal options in Solihull. The food always comes out at a quick pace which is really convenient; however, it seems everytime we’ve come here recently they change the menu for the worst. Don’t get me wrong, the food is delicious but recently it hasn’t been up to standard. They changed our favourite mango drink to still rubicon mango- we could’ve went to the shop and bought this ourselves, for £6 a glass too? Crazy. We’ve also noticed that the cleanliness of the restaurant isn’t the best anymore- there’s always saucy finger marks on the sauce bottles and the cutlery isn’t as clean. They’ve also changed their recipes so many times and it just doesn’t hit the same anymore. I don’t think we’ll be coming back, but if we do hopefully things are back to how they used to be :(

Food & service was amazing! Never been here and would highly recommend in your in the area. Staff are amazing! Food is so delicious and actually flavourful!

Best place for chicken this side of Solihull!!! Great short menu, lovely sauces and chicken cooked to perfection 🐔🍗

Amazing place. The young lady who waited on us was simply amazing. It was our anniversary and we were treated extra special too.

Wont be visiting again, it was my first and last time of visiting. Me and my partner had the fried chicken burger which after already eating half I noticed both of the burgers were extremely pink so the manager offered to make me a fresh one which I decided to try and this turned out the same. After this I no longer had an appetite for the meal so I boxed it up which I threw away as soon as I got home We and my partner have since been extremely poorly with food poisoning. Very disappointing

Visited for food with 4 other people. Waited 30 minutes for a table, service and drinks took a while. Tried to get staffs attention and were ignored they did not make you feel welcome. Food was hot and tasty. Chicken was tender with plenty of sauce. I had the jam chicken and rice at £13.50. Overall food was good, the Birmingham restaurant is better, if you get chance to try it.

First time here staff talked us through the menu which we liked and his recommendations, well I decided to take his advice and I wasn't disappointed 100% loved the food , highly recommend here definitely going back .

Food and cocktails were lovely and amazing service from Laura and Naomi they both looked after me and my friends very well.

We went for lunch in the week and we had the two lunch menu deals. The veggie option was really nice. The side of rice and peas was really yummy and hot, would definitely recommend if you like rice. The portion of half chicken was a great size! The waitress Shauna was so smiley and polite and attentive. There were other diners in the restaurant, it wasn't overly busy and the food came out quickly. Really worth a visit!

Great atmosphere and Ella and Laura were both so lovely so due to that will definitely be visiting agan thank you :))

Relaxing and casual meal with attentive staff. Good food as always. Fairly priced. My booking was easily done online; my request for a particular type of table (booth) was given exactly as asked, and the welcoming staff member noted it has been seen; and the attentiveness of the waitresses throughout the meal was spot on. Thanks to Shauna especially.

I highly recommend this place! I came all the way from France for their chicken, a big thank you to Shauna for making sure everything was perfect, she was great

Really nice atmosphere and great service. SHAUNA was very helpful great service. 👍

We had a lovely meal here. Portions are good sizes and the food was tasty. The buffalo wings were amazing. We were served by Shauna. Her customer service was great. Would definitely recommend. Many thanks!

Nice fresh nd juicey. We enjoyed it 👌🏻

First time here, definitely not the last !...jamaican chicken and rice and buffalo burger....boooom 👌

The food is delicious and varied Nice atmosphere with background music Very good and fast service

First time at Jamaya Solihull and woah what an amazing experience. Turtle Bay watch out Jamaya gonna shut you down. Anyway Laura and Ella were very atte rive even when the place got packed out. Cocktails was extra strong. 6 between 2 people lasted all night.

Had a great experience at Jamaya on a date night! Delicious food and good service, particularly with our server, Jayden, who was very welcoming and helpful! Thank you very much. Will definitely return 😁

Fantastic meal all round The staff are very friendly Atmosphere is great And the food was just 🤤👌 Highly recommend, probably the best Jamaican restaurant in Solihull

Amazing food and a great atmosphere, I'd highly recommend the home brewed dark/spiced rum, black dragon 👌🏻

Food was cold and wasn’t given into us until an hour after arrival which wasn’t the best service. Drinks wasn’t cold enough

First time visiting Jamaya, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food that is halal, the quality is excellent and the service was great.

Without doubt, the highlight of our visit to Touchwood! The food is simply amazing and washed down with draft Red Stripe beer adds up to a first class experience. Highly, recommended.

Really really tasty food. We had the buffalo chicken wings with jerk gravy which was phenomenal. We also had the 1/2 jerk chicken and the coconut jerk chicken breast stew which were both good. We also enjoyed their Perfectly crisped chips and interesting mocktails. The staff were friendly and helpful and the overall vibe was nice. Will definitely be coming back for those wings

Fantastic service with high quality food. Staff lovely and food tasted so good. . A bit of a wait but so worth it , we shall definitely be back

I traveled to Solihull for work and was super excited to see a nearby place with jerk chicken. Served by Ella, who kindly answered my questions about spice levels, portion sizes, and plantain sweetness, I ate some lovely proper jerk chicken, fried plantains, and fries. The chicken was moist and the jerk seasoning was delicious. And the fried plantains - yum! Side bonus, drinks were 2 for 1 between 5-8pm. We have a local office here and lots of visitors coming so I'm definitely adding Jamaya to our Solihull site guide so that my colleagues can discover it as well.

Very nice food and the staff are very nice

Food was lovely, staff were good but would be nice if they could wait for the whole table to finish before clearing plates (there was only 4 of us so not like had lots to clear), it felt like they were rushing us out at the end. Tables are also a little close together so when we were eating the waitress taking the order for the next table stood with her back to us very close so made it uncomfortable. Overall nice though.

Shaunah was brilliant, really good service she was very kind and the food was amazing will definitely come back again

Yummy, only really sells chicken though. It is still very tasty!

Had some time to kill and we was hungry and after looking at all the options in touchwood solihull we settled here. Its lovely bright open atmosphere and Superb hosting skills from when we entered. We asked for the hosts favourite foods and went with their choices. I personally had the chicken wrap and says on menu it Was all grilled with choice of spice etc and I went for the hottest altho it was tasty I felt the food all came out a tad too quick and was not spicy n when I hadn't even received my drink order. Chicken didn't look very grilled but again was still a tasty meal and the youngest loved her chicken tenders and loved the sauce. Overall we wud defo visit again as the staff know their stuff and are happy, informative and enjoy their their work. Was a lovely chill evening :D

Will not be returning 17/06/24 To this place again I have been a regular to this place but will not be coming back as the worker here is so rude for no reason at all we didn’t even order our food and she was rushing us to order and became sarcastic when I asked if wings come as a meal she opened the menu and pointed at the sides saying It’s right there obnoxious and rude for no reason if you don’t like your job please leave do not take your mood onto the public

Laura was the most amazing host, so attentive and friendly. I’m so indecisive and she helped me with recommendations, she made the Jamaya experience amazing, thank you Laura☺️

Wow. Never had Jamacan food before and was amazed at the flavour. I asked waitress (Laura) to feed me !!!!!!! Laura brought me I asked Ella for a surprise cocktail, Ella served a Kingston Redhills ........ I was surprised at how the food tasted .........I had Brown stewed chicken, rice n peas and steamed veg [ wow] Quiet night as Euros were on ..... Great music, great staff and amazing cocktail and wow...... the food...........didn't get chef's names ...... I will be back, when back in Solihull.

Staff were great. Explained menu well and used bid card. Had loads of food. Whole chicken was really good and had a grapefruit cocktail as well free with bid card

Their chicken is very good and flavourful! Would go there again! We where served by John who was very nice.

Absolutely amazing food was garra as a Jamaican 18 year old bad man style 🤣🤣😝😝😝 will be coming again soon and tasting more and more

Hey Jamaya, As always we had an amazing visit yesterday at your restaurant. You all go above and beyond every time we visit and we couldn’t be more grateful for your service and love! The food you serve is delicious we are never disappointed by the flavours 😍 Thank you for all you do, we will see you soon!!

Really good food and plenty of it. Meal came.out quite quickly and servers were polite and friendly. Nice meal out after a full day out.

Shauna looked after us really well, kept the drinks flowing. Food was really good and our group left very full!

Delivered lukewarm/cold. Portion misrepresented on the site and WAY TOO SMALL for the money. First and last time using Jamaya.

Staff were great, food was fair priced and delicious! Beautifully decorated & great drinks!

Very tasty food and great services. See you soon

Great food, cocktails, atmosphere and service. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and special Thank you to Laura for being a great host!

Table booked for 5.30pm; order taken about 20-25 minutes later which was not a problem as my companion and I had lots to catch up on; food comes about 20 minutes later, still no problem. The problem begins when a waitress interrupts me 2/3 of the way through my meal and only 60 minutes after sitting down to let us know we only have 30 minutes left. Absolutely shocking behaviour and totally unacceptable. I could understand it if we had finished eating and was loitering. Will not be going back in a hurry.

Really good food, excellent service but just a little too loud for me personally, couldn't hardly hear each other talking.

Honestly as a Jamaican myself I tell you now I was at home with sweet reggae music to set the vibe the service was perfect and the food my lord my palate of flavours just exploded and I was in my own world. Honestly and I'm picky with my food but this was like proper yard style food for Jamaican food good proper food got to come

I recently visited Jamay's Jamaican Restaurant and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the jerk chicken wrap, and it was incredibly tasty—the flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. The restaurant itself had a lovely ambiance, with a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The waitress named Bri provided exceptional service—she was very helpful, attentive, and genuinely nice, which added to the overall positive experience. I would definitely recommend Jamay's Jamaican Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Jamaican cuisine served in a great setting with excellent service. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

First time here and really enjoyed it. Special shout out to Kate who served us and dealt with my brother in law very well- he was a little drunk. Food was delicious, especially the cheesy chips which Kate recommended ( apparently as I didn't get to try them).The men ordered chicken wings not realising they weren't a starter so when everything came out at once there was no room on the table. My only criticism would be that I ordered an apple juice and it was warm! Otherwise 100%. We will be back ( without the brother in law)

Brilliant customer service and food - thank you Sara and Adnan

Superb. The Staff are really friendly and service is great good for families or adult dining.

We have been going to Jamaya (Touchwood, Solihull) since it opened. I wanted to let the daughter try something 'Caribbean' inspired. I am Trini🇹🇹 born & bred. Obviously, it cannot compare to what your mammy used to cook!. But Jamaya is the next best thing around here😋. We love it. We visit when we can afford to splash out a little. Daughter now prefers Jamaya instead of the other Chicken shop across the way!🤣. The mocktails are lovely. Have yet to try the cocktails but they sound yum! The food is scrumptious - I always order more than I can eat, cause then I can have a 'takeaway'( eyes always bigger than my belly!😆😂. Highly recommend the Bob Marley burger- extra hot( but if you're from the Caribbean, you would probably like it hotter- I do!). Festivals we always take home. Fried wings with jerk gravy😋😋😋😋😋 jerk cheesy fries😋😋😋😋😋, rice & peas😋😋😋😋😋, Mac & cheese 😋😋😋😋😋. We visited on mommy's day- the only negative was- the rum & raisin ice cream portion was very small & just looked like it had been the end of the tub🤷🏻‍♀️- but small issue. Staff always friendly, always helpful, even though they are busy. Atmosphere lovely. Decor lovely. It was good to see how busy it was on mommy's day. I hope to try the roast dinners- it looks scrummy😋 Overall- 10* £71.75 for 2 people

Every time we come to Solihull to see family, we always make sure to come to Jamaya and we’re never disappointed! Food gorgeous, drinks brilliant and the service fab - thank you to John

Wes served us today and was absolutely lovely I hope she gets a pay rise! Food was great and vibes were immaculate as always <3

Absolutely love jamaya! The delicious food drinks and service such a great visit. I usually visit the Birmingham branch but solihull met the same expectations! Thank you!

Sara was brilliant & the food was lovely! 100% recommend

It was busy, and there were only 2 waiters, and they did their best, so i can't complain. The food was outstanding.
