Jamrock Leeds in Leeds

Amazing! 110% recommend this place!

The food, the atmosphere and the service is amazing. There is also a DJ which makes the experience even better. I'd only say that the wine options and the deserts are a bit let down. Otherwise totally recommend to try Jamaican foods.

The food was perfect 👌🏼 cocktails were really good. I'll definitely be going back ASAP!

Lovely food (had the Sunday roast). the sticky toffee pudding after was brilliant too. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Absolutely delicious, really kind staff, and the prices are really good for what you get. Highly recommend

Coming from the Cayman Islands we needed a taste of home and JAMROCK delivered. Food was great and the Caribbean uni kids will be making the trek for sure.

First time eating at Jamrock and we both loved it...The flavours were on point and the staff were super friendly, the chef even de-shelled my prawns for me at the table! I would 100% recommend this place and we will be returning for sure 😁

Reasonably priced, great fun, amazing food, good drinks and outstanding service X

lovely staff, delicious food and great portion sizes. i went for lunch with my mum - we ordered the vegan roast dinner, ackee and saltfish with rice and peas and a side of plantain. we were so impressed with everything on our plates and enjoyed every bite ! we’ll definitely be back soon and with friends !!

Great food and fantastic atmosphere! Recommend coming for authentic caribbbean food 😎😊

Came here for my 18th earlier, both waiters were very friendly and hospitable. Food was gorgeous aswell as the drinks. Great Restaurant and great people working there. if i could give it 10 stars i would

Food so good at a very reasonable price, staff lovely, lady who served us very good and friendly, I could see her watching our table to see if we needed any more drinks or anything would come back just service alone, not sure her name but she’s a credit to the team

Staff are so friendly and professional, the drinks are to amazing and the food is so tasty best goat curry ever and the dumplings 🤩

The food was cold and the chicken was tough

A very good experience eating at Jamrock on Saturday. Food and drink was perfect. Looking forward to going again.

I've been to Jamrock several times now, and the food is truly authentic Jamaican, just like my grandma and proper Jamaicans would cook. It's great that the flavours haven't been toned down so people can experience the trur flavours of Jamaica. The cocktails are fantastic, too.

The food was amazing, the atmosphere was epic, background music was electric. I was up from Leicester for the day and had eaten from this place when they had a stall in the shopping centre the year before, so hunted the restaurant down for my taste of Jamaica. The staff was great, the food was great, and my belly was full. Definitely recommended. Family-friendly place as a few birthdays were celebrated there, where the owner played some reggae birthday tunes to set the mood. Little Jamaica 🇯🇲 in Leeds.

jamrock has a small, well curated menu with what looks like no bad options. i got the curry goat, which was amazing; i tried my friends jerk chicken was also gorgeous. they've poured a lot of energy into creating a great atmosphere, its well decorated, and the music was great. the only thing that lets them down a little was the service, it was a saturday so it was busy but we waited a while for our drinks order to be taken, same with food. the lack of a clear "wait here to be seated" area made things feel a little chaotic and confusing, but that would be quickly fixed by a sign. overall, i would still completely recommend jamrock as despite the wait for orders to be taken, the food arrived fairly quickly, and it was great when it did!

Me and my friends went there for bottomless brunch. It was three of us and considering the fact that we were the only customers there since it was a quiet Sunday, the service was terrible. We payed £40 each for about 4 cocktails each in a span of 1h30mins. The girl servicing us was not coming to check on us regularly and wouldn’t give us drinks u tol about 10 mins after finishing the ones we had. It is not worth the price. I wouldn’t even pay £10 for that. I will never come here again and have told all my friends and family to not bother and go there. Revolution Electric place is the best for bottomless brunch 😌

The food is amazing the service is second to none, definitely highly recommended this place by far 👌

This is the 2nd time I've been here, possibly within 2 months. The food is, in my opinion, excellent quality. I've had the salmon, with my daughter and her cousin having curried goat (bone free and delicious). We added extras of mac n cheese, fried dumplings (super soft, fluffy, and light). All very moreish. My mouth is watering right now as I write this 😀 I'm running out of people to go with me to Jamrock in Leeds. I might have to take a solo trip! I felt comfortable enough to make that trip alone. The staff were friendly and knew about the food they were serving. Oh, I nearly forgot about the drinks...Pina Colada...5*, Rum Slush...5*, there was a melon drink too, and many more 😅. I still had room for a pudding. At the time of visiting, we didn't feel like there was a rush to ask you to leave your table. The atmosphere was lovely with music from the Caribbean and reggae inspired songs. The toilets were clean, and I loved the decor in there: The Caribbean Dictionary...words and their translations. Fantastic idea

Was a great experience for me and my son for a Thursday evening dinner. Food are nice.

Great atmosphere,although music was very loud and we had to shout to be heard! Food arrived in good time. Most of our party enjoyed the food. Chick pea curry was very mild and bland(£16.95). Had to request dressing for salad leaves as were dry. The serving staff were very cheery and nothing was a trouble.

Came here yesterday with a mate, and although the price is high, the quality is higher! One of the best Caribbean places I've been to in awhile.

Visited yesterday for a birthday lunch on a day out in Leeds. Has the potential to be really amazing but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Service was a bit slow but our waitress had only just started there. Food was delicious but portions were disappointing - quite a bare plate for £19 and the puddings came out cold and looking a bit sad.

Absolutely in love and thanks for the drinks on the house

Delicious and authentic. The ackee was fab and I loved the plantain. I am actually part Jamaican and consider Jamaica my second home. I can say I highly recommend jamrock for a fabulous Caribbean experience!

Absolutely 5 star service. Food was incredibly delicious and the service was top notch. Definitely visiting again and again!

We had a bottomless brunch here and left hungry and ripped off! 😡 It was not worth £38 pp! FOOD- The plate consisted on 2 spoonfuls of rice and 1/4 of a chicken thigh!! Another member of our group ordered curry goat and were given 4 pieces of meat!! Not enough food for an adult and not at all what was advertised!! Really disappointing considering they claim to be a "real" carribbean restaurant. It was a child's portion! Either they need to start advertising their brunch as small plates so people are aware of miniature portion sizes, reduce prices or increase their portion sizes. Even if they had added a dumpling or two it would have helped 🤣 The jerk chicken was more BBQ chicken than Jerk. We ended up having to order additional sides, mac and cheese was horrible but the fried dumplings were nice. DRINKS - I recommend the blue mountain cocktail. I also purchased a Pina colada separately which just tasted of lime. Several other drinks were also made incorrectly and had to be returned to the bar. They only had 1 member of staff on the bar for a restaurant full of people. STAFF - the staff were nice and did agree the portion sizes were tiny compared to what's normal for a brunch. They they said they end up having to have the conversation with customers about portion sizes for brunch a lot. But the manager said there was nothing they could do to help, apart from advise us to spend more money to buy sides. They said that owner chooses to focus on the quality of the drinks... But it's not like they were amazing or made correctly every time. VIBE - the decor of the restaurant is lovely. Overall the restaurant does have great potential. It is just really disappointing that the food wasn't to standard and everyone left hungry and feeling ripped off. I hope that management decide to listen to customers as it does have great potential. I hate to leave negative reviews, but this was my second visit to Jamrock, and unfortunately I won't be back again.

Spent valentines here and the food was lovely. Had to mark down for atmosphere because two couples broke out in a brawl but this added a bit of extra spice to our Valentine’s Day and we were grateful for our front row seats.

Came today with my son, service was brilliant and the food was absolutely lovely, nice touch with the music playing too. My son absolutely loved it he was so looking forward to trying the food today and the food and staff didn’t disappoint, will definitely be back

Enjoyed the variety of food the best bakes (fried dumplings). Staff very helpful with the drinks and food. Highly Recommended.

Nice food, miserable portions. Paid a fair bit for very little grub. Shame, as otherwise would have been good, but not worthwhile.

Food was 10/10 perfected, as well as the service from Meda, very attentive and helpful.

10/10 came with my boyfriend , will definitely be returning! Was served by Meda🤗

Visited for a friend’s hen last night, all the staff were so accommodating and couldn’t fault a thing!

Portions were small. Advertised as a “half chicken” but it’s actually a leg and a wing. Service was OK but could have been more attentive. Generally let down and i don’t think we will be back. It’s more of a bar that and type of place you might share food on a way out for a night out than a restaurant.

10/10 service food and atmosphere, definitely recommend to anyone looking for good caribbean food in the city centre

Great bottomless brunch! Lovely food, good drinks and friendly staff

Brunch here is not worth the £38. We all left hungry since they must have put us all on rations. Two spoon fulls of rice and 2 bites of chicken isn’t enough for an adult. Which is a shame because the taster was great food. Cocktails were nice but they got funny about ordering more drinks. So I got 3 drinks maximum.

Food was fantastic (had the curry goat, Ackee & Saltfish & burger), great atmosphere and fabulous service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. 100% recommend and we will be back!

Went for the brunch menu. We were served a baby's portion size as a main. #insult. quater of a piece of chicken thigh. 2table spoons of rice & a teaspoon of coleslaw. We were encouraged to order sides. The sides were bigger then the mains. For £38 per person with drinks it was abysmal. Super disappointed. The atmosphere and service is heavily forced to compensate the lack of food. A revamp is definitely needed.

Portion were small, the curry goat had 3 bits of meat. Drink were flowing but the hunger was real

Always great food, music and good vibes. Had my favourite Curry Goat (never disappoints). Went on a Friday evening as a walk in but I advise to book if going on a Saturday as it is busy.

Great place to go, delicious food and the staff was friendly, professional and fantastic in general! Definitely recommend it and cannot wait to go again!

Fabulous place, great food and great music. I’m booked on again tomorrow, can’t wait xx

Beautiful food. Great service. You should all go

Visited on Saturday for my birthday. We had high hopes for this place as I heard so many good things before the renovation! We had 13 people for bottomless brunch, and sadly, the services was not up to scratch. It wasn't that the lady serving us wasn't lovely she was, she was just rushed of her feet because they just don't have enough staff. We were waiting at least 15-30 minutes in-between each round of drinks. On a bottomless brunch, the drinks are meant to flow rapidly. It would be better if they perhaps put 2x bottles of prosecco on the table in ice buckets for you to drink alongside the cocktails (which were nice) and this would at least keep your party going whilst you waited. The waiting around did dampen the atmosphere, and my friends were disappointed. The food saved the night as it was lovely and good options. Portions were reasonable for a brunch, but again, the food didn't all come out at once, and someone had to wait until everyone else had finished, and then she got her dish and ate on her own. My close friend does a different brunch every weekend, and she rated it a 5. I definitely don't think it's worth £38 pp £25 maybe.

Honest review few thing firstly party of 4 we sat down Straight away they got drinks order was wrong (fair enough) then we waited nearly 1hr for our food then only 3 meals came out and when the last meal came out the rest of out friends had finished curry goat 4 pieces of meat wish I had taken a photo because for 16£ (laughable) Man don't want to pay £16 and start thinking we need to go KFC just to be full Jeremy chicken caked in BBQ sauce reheated and stail Order coleslaw that was brought out after we'd finish our meals Best thing on menu dumplings but for £4 for some dough F MY LIFE honestly really poor food and service 4/10

Came today first time atmosphere was great welcoming greeting by bar staff, got ackee and saltfish and fried dumpling to be honest I've never seen ackee and salt fish look, and taste that way, very wet and watery couldn't see the saltfish, dumplings too greasy and under cooked. no disrespect but this is not authentic carribean food, being afro carribean and being brought up on authentic carribean food I'm sorry but this is not. One of our friends had waited one hour and ten minutes till he finally got his meal. I just feel afro carribean food should be and look and taste authentic keep it original.

First time trying saltfish & ackee and I demolished the whole plate. Incredible

Fantastic service. The food freshly cooked and well enjoyed. The portions looked small but was more than enough.

Best Caribbean food spot by far! My family are from Jamaica and I haven’t tasted anything so good. I’ll travel far to eat from here. See you again very soon!🙌🏾

We went on a Saturday - it was quite busy but the following happened, hence the rating: Food took 1.5 hours on the clock from order to arrival One of the plates had something in it ( hair or lint ) 2 starters did not arrive ( and we did not ask for them again as we didn’t want to wait any longer ) The bill was wrong, it included the 2 starters that did not arrive and the wrong size for a drink. The cocktails and atmosphere were good. I think they need more kitchen staff and all should be good. The worst thing was that no one told us about the long wait on food before ordering.

Fantastic atmosphere and service. Jerk Jackfruit a winner 👌

Terrible service and frozen patties! We had a big group booking and we all arrived at 7pm. Waited for somebody to take our drinks order but after 15mins I tried to order at the bar and they said the staff will be with us soon to take our drinks order. Waited another 15mins so tried the bar again but same reply. It took 45mins for someone to take our drinks order and 20mins for the drinks to arrive. 1 hour and 5 minutes for a drink! It gets worse........ 90% of the group had pre-ordered the food so it should have arrived shortly after we did but nothing was served until 8.15pm. Even then it was random food that nobody ordered but we were ready to eat anything at this point so I took a bite into a pattie and realised the middle was still frozen! I told the waiter who wasn't sure what to do with this information. We waited until 9pm and eventually had enough of the hunger and left without eating anything. The bathroom facilities were also unhygienic with no hand wash in the mens toilet. All the above really spoiled the birthday celebrations so we won't be eating here again.

The best Jamaican food I have tried in my life!!! Me and my partner loved the entire meal! Their dumplings 10/10 much love!

What a great place we really enjoyed everything, great food brilliant service from the young lady makea really looked after us credit to the place. Will definitely be back

Waited for one hour and a half for the food to come. My food had fluff in it, I rejected it but didn’t get any appology from the stuff. They forgot to bring our sides but they didn’t forget to add them on the bill. Just terrible experience, terrible food and terrible service.

I visited the place with a group of my friends. The service was slightly slow but it was understandable as it was a Saturday. But when seated down we got the feeling of the vibe for the day. The food was great, it was my first time having Caribbean food. the music selection was diverse. It was a friends 40th so I was happy the music had a few classics. I recommend

Came from Doncaster. First time having Caribbean food after seeing the social media content. The food pictures and the taste is definitely a match. Though they did take a few moments to clear previous tables. Overall a good experience

I saw some intriguing reviews so u thought I check it out on my own. It was midweek so it was a bit of a quiet night. I enjoy a little bit of loudness so when I heard they have an upbeat Saturday i thought a double visit wouldn't hurt. They could do a little better on the sitting of customers and wait time. But when all is settled it's worth the hype. Will visit again.

I visited with family and friends for the Sunday roast. I must say it is A 5-star Caribbean feast! Authentic flavors, delightful sides, and an inviting atmosphere. Must-visit in Leeds!

Book table online for 4 at 8.30pm arrive at 8.15pm table not ready won't be available for another 45min wasn't happy come all way from Huddersfield looking forward, meal .Said Book in advance for table he apologies we walk out went somewhere else. Music too Lound, inside very cramped sorry won't be going back again wouldn't recommend......

We booked a table, got a drink and eventually our food order was taken. Over 1 hour later we still hadn’t received our food. The atmosphere was more of a club than a restaurant. We weren’t even offered a time scale when it would be ready. We left hungry and disappointed. Won’t be going again.

I have never experienced such poor customer service while dining! I was visiting Leeds and after seeing good reviews decided to check out Jamrock. Prior to going I was going to make a reservation but when I looked online saw there was plenty of availability so I decided to just walk in instead. Upon arrival I was greeted by a rude worker and told there was a 2 to 3 hour wait until the next table is available even though there were a number of empty tables. I then stepped outside, went online and booked a table 10 mins from the current time and came back 10 mins later and was seated. [What was the point of turning me away in the first place?? ] I ordered a drink and main shortly after being seated. The drink arrived promptly, which was disappointing in taste. I asked if they could sweeten it as it was very bitter but was told no. While waiting I noticed people that arrived after me recieved their food. After 45 mins i asked when the food would be arriving and was told it was coming. After an hour had passed, I still hadn't received my food or an update, so I decided to cancel the order and leave. I was highly disappointed. It came across more as a lounge than a restaurant. I can't speak on the food as I didn't try it but the staff and management need to do a better job when it comes to customer service. I will gladly not go back there again.

The food was good but table not ready when we got there, the service was slow and we had to ask to have our order taken.

sorry cant give stars as 4 of us booked table for 1 pm today jam rock confirmed our booking via e mail but when we got there it was closed v v disappointed as my friend came all way from Bradford , i emailed and messaged owner had no response so now even more disappointed Oral we feel very let down from friends at Rothwell gym

I very rarely post on Google to give a bad review – only good reviews – so this is an indication of how angry I am about my recent dinner experience at Jamrock. I made a 7:45pm reservation for 1 on a Saturday night and arrived on time, only to be told that the table wasn't ready. At 8pm I asked if I could at least stand at the bar and order a drink while I waited, so I did that (and to the restaurant's credit, the cocktail I ordered was given to me free, on the house). Still it wasn't until 8:50pm, more than an HOUR after my booking started, that I was finally shown to my table. Did they give me a menu? Nope. I had to ask for a menu when I was asked what I wanted to order because the staff who worked there couldn't see that I didn't have a menu. The only good thing about my entire experience that night was that when I was FINALLY able to order some food, it arrived fairly quickly and it was really good. Absolutely everything else about my experience there was horrible; I didn't really care about this as I came solo, but the music from the DJ was definitely too loud for anyone to actually have a conversation. Then, when my plates were cleared up and I asked for the bill, the staff took HALF AN HOUR to come around with the card machine even though I was constantly trying to get their attention and one of the staff members clearly saw that, and didn't do anything about himself. Why? The people who work there genuinely seemed more interested in socialising with the guests, especially if they were attractive, and chatting amongst themselves, than actually doing their jobs. Why am I so angry about this? 1. I was in Leeds for the weekend as a tourist and I had plans after dinner. They were ruined by the ridiculously awful customer service and timekeeping standards at this restaurant. 2. I specifically wanted to come to this restaurant because it had good reviews and I had never had Jamaican food before. I want to have Jamaican food again but definitely not at any restaurant run by these clowns, and if they decide to expand to the city where I live, I'll have to tell my friends not to go there.

Very tasty food, generous portions, friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back

We arrived at around 8pm on Sunday and the owner advised us they had been so busy he’d closed the kitchen a little early and didn’t have a full portion of anything left. I suggested he made us a ‘mash up’ of whatever he had left and 15 mins later out it came! Curry Goat, Mac n Cheese, Rice n Peas, Dumplings, Steamed Veg, Jerk Chicken, Jerk Gravy, Homemade Yorkshire Puddings and Delicious Roast Potatoes all washed down with draft Red Stripe! Excellent service and very tasty! Had a lovely chat afterwards with the owner and his passion for the place was abundantly clear. A little gem that more than deserves the support of the people! Give it a try!

Friendly, relaxing atmosphere good food.

The wife and I went here on Saturday night at 8. We had booked but there was still a few vacant tables. It's not a restaurant in the traditional way, more of a bar really, in my opinion this made for a more enjoyable night and a better vibe. Yes the music is loud, but not too loud. Service was friendly and helpful, drinks were nicely made. We had the platter of Curry Goat and Jerk Chicken to share, it was very nice and tasty. We added extra hotness with Bajun sauce. I'm sure that we will return.

Great place, but music on the Saturday was ridiculously loud for such a small restaurant. Despite booking, was standing for over ten mins in the queue, as if I had not booked. I was wet and cold and have arthritis, so didn't appreciate this. I would attend again, but not with someone I wanted to chat to and catch up with. Food was lovely, though. Had the Escovitch fish. Beautiful.

Absolutely amazing place, had never heard of JamRock and went along with three friends for my birthday. Venue was great, clean,spacious and the food was delicous. Good portions and very tasty, will visit again soon. Thank you JamRock for a great night

If you want authentic Caribbean food and a good vibe and reggae music while you eat this is the place to be. Went with friends today for lunch and we all loved it. By comparison, Turtle Bay, which I believe is part of a chain, in my experience comes nowhere near what we experienced today and feels quite bland in comparison with non descript music that could not be associated to any Caribbean island. Give Jamrock a go. These independent businesses need our support! Will be back. Wishing you every success!

To die for food...lovely people..great service..deffo will come again...great portion size ♥️

Great food, music selection fab, pleasant staff who take time to listen and even join in the fun.

Very nice food. In fact it was amazing. The wings don't e starter was amazing! It was super cold but I was super cold outside 😍

A great restaurant with great music, food and drinks. Their cocktails are delicious, the staff are attentive and it's a great place to go on a date. My wife and I have been several times now and have always enjoyed it. If you're considering going then you definitely should.

Such an amazing restaurant! Popped in for lunch and left with a belly full of food made that was made with love and passion. Will be back again very soon.

We went a week ago, for a family meal Food was nice, however dining with dogs is a No No. Was surprised to see one sitting under the table in a Caribbean restaurant. Didn't look like a support dog. All in all nice meal.

Great place to eat at Great music Good vegan options as well 🙂

Aj ,was brilliant host , had a smile on his face always. Food , drink excellent and atmosphere. Group of 20 people 50th birthday

Amazing. All of it. The meat, the curry, the coleslaw, the plantain, the riiiice! Omg the rice!!!! Sublime!

The food is excellent not a great choice of beer well worth a visit

I celebrated my birthday here on Saturday and I must say the service food and vibe was great thank you for everything you did on Saturday we will be back for sure

Brilliant food, Sunday roast Jamaican style, would absolutely eat there again. Huge portions. My only slight gripe was seating, kinda want something to sink into after such a big feed! But it won't stop me eating there again. Loved it.

Attended a bottomless brunch at the weekend and was so happy with the service I was so pleased with Archie our waiter and he was amazing he made our afternoon he was attentive, polite, and overall made our experience 10/10 will definitely be returning.

Food was amazing, and our waiter Archie honestly made the day, he was polite, and his attention to detail was amazing

I had the pleasure of having my surprise 40th Birthday here and it was amazing Food was top, vibe was bang on and just a great atmosphere to be around Highly recommended

Came for Sunday roast plates Some of the best food I have had in Leeds across the last 20 years or so! Come hungry! You have to try this place!

Loved the Sunday roast. The best Yorkshire pudding ever. I would have loved less rice and more green veg. Great service and vibe

Food is great, recommend the curry and dumplings!

We have been here 4 times now and everytime has been beautiful, myself and my husband really love the food and the atmosphere, the staff are absolutely brilliant so friendly and welcoming.i can not recommend jamrock enough definitely worth a try. Emma

What a wonderful place to eat! I recommend it, the food was delicious and the staff was great

Just had lunch in JamRock. Great place, great food, great service. All at a great price. Highly recommended 😊

Great food and drink with a Dj playing some great music would highly recommend

Really lovely place, we went for bottomless brunch and it was such good value. Delicious food and cocktails- amazing service from Ben who was so friendly :) . Thank you for making my friends birthday so special!

Took my mum to Jamrock for tea. Amazing jerk chicken, great portion size, really tasty. Great beer and cocktails and lovely staff. Top notch!
