Kool Runnings in Highland

Bueno, dicen que hay una primera vez para todo, y esta fue nuestra primera comida jamaiquina. Mi esposa tenía pollo y yo cabra al curry. Ambas comidas eran excelentes, caliente y abundante. Nuestro servidor estaba muy bien informado y nos ayudó a tomar una decisión de qué comer. También era muy amable y un chico feliz.

a proper real authentic luxury..obviously generational learning..zooper kool.

Esta es una fantástica joya escondida tenía los mejores cócteles si usted está buscando fuerte y fabuloso este es el lugar para estar. Laurence es el mejor servidor, te hace sonreír 😃 Volverá como siempre cada vez que visitemos Inverness 😀

I ordered spaghetti carbonara and got spaghetti with ham and cheese 😤

Great food. Had curried goat rice . Very nice .Good place to eat.

It's amazing that there is a Caribbean restaurant in Inverness where you can enjoy plantain, salt fish & ackee, and goat curry. The food and cocktails are really good! Sometimes Kool Runnings looks a bit empty in the evenings, but it certainly doesn't deserve to be - so don't let this put you off.

Top notch Caribbean food and drinks with warm service

A very enjoyable evening with delicious food especially the belly pork, escovitch snapper & the goat curry. Pity we live so far from Inverness as would love to go again

THE best place in Inverness for cocktails and food, absolutely love it. It’s a staple for me and my partner. Totally recommend to everyone in the immediate area. Piña colada’s and jerk chicken are top top top tier

As a tourist spending 1 month in the UK, you need a break from pub food. Kool Runnings was a delicious alternative with a fun selection of Rum and Island cocktails.

Had lunch here while visiting Inverness. Great traditional Jamaican food with huge portions and decent prices. Definitely recommended if you're in the Inverness area.

Burger!!!!! One of the best in my Life

Super delicious food! The best dinner I’ve ever had in Scotland 😻

Omg the best cocktails ever proper strong x

The food and vibe (music) was very good. We had some typical Jamaican beer, chicken jerky and goat.

Delivered late. Order was wrong. Quality was poor and couldn't eat all of it.

Felt really bad after eating there, recommend to avoid!

Thanks for feeding me late at night 🙏🏼

Me encantó este lugar y la comida era deliciosa 😋. El personal era muy amable y la música, la decoración y escuchar al personal hablando, me llevó de vuelta al Caribe en mi luna de miel. He visitado 2 restaurantes caribeños, uno en Londres y otro en Guildford, y este restaurante está allí con ellos.

Very delicious food , staff are amazing and the portions of food are perfect

It was a really nice visit to Kool Runings. The atmosphere and the food were very authentic and pleasant. I had dinner there with a friend and we really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new 😊😊😊

Very cool, we were lucky that there was no room for anything else. The food was delicious and the reggea was great. Again and again.

Delicious Caribbean restaurant with a chilled atmosphere. The chef came to chat with us and is an absolute riot, hilarious. Also one of the only places besides kebab shops which serves food past 8pm. Would thoroughly recommend!

Este fue mi primer sabor de la comida jamaicana y ciertamente lo disfruté. Compartimos un poco de pollo patán y un curry de cabra, ya que pensamos en estos como los platos más típicos del Caribe. La cabra estaba tierna y el pollo muy bien cocinado - si tengo una crítica sería que esperaba un poco más de calor y especias. Me preguntaba si los sabores habían sido atontados para satisfacer los gustos de los turistas. Ambiente genial y amigable con el servicio. Buenas noches con amigos.

Ambiente brillante, la comida era excepcional y los cócteles de ron son increíbles, el personal era acogedor y amable, buena música también

Nice building, cool interior, excellent and affordable food and drinks. Plus good hospitality and made us feel welcome

The restaurant has an extensive selection of dishes and very tasty food. The waitress was very personable and committed to ensuring that the orders were implemented quickly. If you're visiting Inverness, it's worth a look there, even if it's not directly on the river.

Excellent food like in Jamaica. There is also Reagge. Even though it's cold here, it warms your heart ❤️.

Great atmosphere and food. Loads of choice and a good vegan menu for my friend. Friendly and relaxed staff. Well worth a visit.

Outstanding food and drinks! Delightful delicious meal, much impressed. The mister and I had Jamaican Jerk Chicken and a couple cocktails. Excellent staff and service too.

I know soul food isn't the first thing that comes to mind you think "Highland Capital" but wow nice place lovely laid back atmosphere staff make you feel like you're at a second home and greet you nicely by the door I had the jerk chicken...WOW the flavour. Explosion in the mouth and so juicy, plenty of eating in it and nice presentation. Also if you like a drink you're not short for choice , lots of rum mixes as well as house favourites.

Fantastic service, amazing food and great drinks. We tried lobster and goat.

Great late night eats. Thanks so much for having us

Chilled vibe, friendly and fun service, and phenomenal food and cocktails. Also, Jamaica had a bobsleigh team.

Excellent food. The chicken was perfect. Good prices too.

Amazing food and great customer service. I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone I know who is visiting Inverness 😋

What a beautiful find in a great city like Inverness! Only good things to say about the service - really relaxed, attentive and thoughtful. The food was brilliant too! We did try the Jerk Haggis out of interest which I (personally) wasn't sold on but my partner loved it! It's definitely something worth trying though considering the price of your meal is so competitive. Cheers team, all the best

Another day in Inverness another visit to Cool Runnings. I LOVE this place. It never fails. Braw food, braw staff, braw drinks. Thanks again! One Love x

5 stars over and over again. Can’t fault the food. Can’t fault the drinks. Can’t fault the charismatic people working there. Hell yeah! Another delicious dinner. Thank you very much.

Cracking wee place. Popped in for a lunch on Saturday, hardly anyone in, but the food is spot on, good portion sizes for a really good price. Drinks were really good, nice cocktail menu. Will definitely make this my regular spot when we are in Inverness.

It might have been due to the lateness but atmosphere felt very unwelcoming, I’d much rather to have been told not to come in at all. We were sat waiting to order for a while, then ordered at the bar. Cocktails were generous but took over 30 minutes to arrive. Food also took along time but was good sized portions and nice.

Veggie & vegan family turned up expecting a feast! And boy did we get one! Kids enjoyed corn on the cob and rice and beans whilst grown ups had spicy patties and curry. Loved the random 80s music but Caribbean music would have been nice!

The food was AMAZING! Best of the trip!! Great service great employees!

Stumbled upon this gem on a stopover in Inverness. Wasn’t sure what to expect when we walked in but this turned out to be one of those surprises that surpassed all expectations! Great goat curry. Ordered a fried Mars bar for dessert and was presented with a stunning plate of food. Atmosphere was ace. Highly recommend!

A warm welcome on a damp night. The Jerk Chicken was tender and fell off the bone. The spices were wonderfully balanced. The Goat Curry was rich and tasty. Great choice of drinks, beer wine and cocktails. Highly recommended.

Beautiful beautiful Caribbean food here with super friendly services! You must come and try the special Caribbean dishes at this restaurant~~ and the service is served by super friendly handsome guys🥰 Nice dark beer…so yummy! Dishes: goat curry & ribs with sweet potato chips

Superb food. Really proper taste of the Caribbean. Recommend Jerk Chicken and Curry Goat.

Perfect fish'n chips. Great Jamaican service and music. Thanks 👍

The owner left alone, but still served 3 meals after closing. Food was very good

A friendly and knowledgeable staff, interesting detailed decor, delicious food. As a vegan, I was happily surprised to have an entire menu to choose from. The korma was delicious and I recommend the sheepshagger beer ✌️😊

went here last week...just walking by. wonderful atmosphere, great drinks and service.

Dined in with a collegue, from the moment we walked in service was great. We both ordered the burger, large portion and well worth the money, tasted amazing! 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area.

Glenn will make you a delicious late night meal! Jerk chicken and the jambalaya were great

Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Food was great value and filling.

Not impressed at all got a delivery on just eat was handed this!! Cheese not even on the pizza slices wasn’t even cut properly either and I ordered a large and got pretty small

Pizza was a shambles never ordering from here again!!

One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had, the bun was toasted so much that it was burnt black! The piece of bacon was so overcooked it was complete inedible. The packaging was not suitable for the type of food, all the sauce in both items leaked everywhere. Overall a disappointing experience.

Really nice food, great vegan options, friendly and speedy service.

Excellent. So happy to find a vegetarian option as soon as i arrived. Jackfruit is delicious

Delicious food! Very tasty, had the taste of Kool with goat and chicken, lots of spices and big portions

This year im going to take a trip from Nottingham to try this place the food looks delicious, me soon come me General

Good Food despite rude chef by saying “just pay and get out”. What a terrible attitude, they won’t be sustained without customers.

One not to miss if visiting Inverness. Great value for money and delicious food - lots of vegan options too!

Went in here and the food was nice, albeit quite a strange combination of Jamaican and Scottish food. It was lunchtime I visited and the place was absolutely dead, so has to rank low on the atmosphere score unfortunately

just amazing! the portions are huge, the chicken in my meal was the freshest and softest i've ever had in a restaurant and the service was so sweet, the owner went to the store to get a mars bar just for me, because i wanted to try that and he wouldnt admit he doesnt have it. 10/10 experience

Best food ever,massive portions and fresh ingredients! Excellent service and tasty haggis with chicken! Top class place!

Excellent food! Best Jamaican style I’ve had, very very tasty. Friendly staff good cocktails and very well priced

I eat curry goat all the time and this was more like a vegetarian curry there was 2 bits of meat in it the rice was cold don't be fooled by the presentation I was the only one in there and he took 30 minutes pretty sure I heard the microwave ping a couple of time and for 20 quid save your money

Delicious food and friendly, personable service. Highly recommend!

Great food, recommend curried goat.

Really good food, exciting flavors, fantastic cocktails and really tasty non alcoholic drinks. Big portions!

Great food, great chat. I.m going back tomorrow.

Order didn’t arrive. Very poor

Paid £25 for a lamb dish and the lamb was as tough as leather, in the bin now.

Great service and delicious more than it look at first glance. If you are bored with the plain and salty taste of English food, I recommend this restaurant for your Scotland trip.

I ordered the food and it arrived raw and burnt within 1.5 hours. I called the restaurant. The boss apologized and said he would send new ones within 30 minutes. I called again after 1 hour because the new food never arrived. Nobody answered. I called the next day and they said they would deliver it after 5 p.m. because delivery was starting. I called again after 6 p.m. because the food still hadn't arrived. they said they wouldn't deliver it because they were very busy now and only at 9pm. I am very disappointed and unfortunately not for the first time. I will never order and do not recommend this place.

Food came late and really bad. My macaroni cheese was so salty that I couldn’t eat it (1st bite was ok, but after 3rd one I regret I not try more before complaining). Belly pork row but sweet potatoes chips burned so much that they were brown ! Who send that away to customer seeing it’s unable to eat?! My partner food the same - burned. I complained and was said new food will arrive - ok. Hour later no one ever answer my call. The next day my parter called and heard the food will be at our place after 5PM. Ok, hour later no food, I heard from the person who answered food will be sent after 9PM as they are busy now !!! That’s ridiculous. How can you treat a customer like that?? A year ago I was recommending that place to many people - well, not anymore. And that was our second try! Never again!!!

Half the food didn’t come things that did was horrible restaurant wouldn’t anser me when trying to phone

The delivery driver rang the door bell multiple times. Food was cold.

The food was okay but the service delivery and food packaging were very poor. I hope they will pay attention to their service delivery and food packaging so their efforts in cooking good food is not wasted by poor service.

Still waiting on my order - over an hour after the estimated time of delivery, so will not be ordering from them again

Please tell me how you order food to be delivered and it takes more than 2hrs to arrive.You call them and they pretend like they are not hearing you,having to call on a different line and they lie that your food is stuck in traffic this time at night.An absolute appalling service…Had to drive to get my order asked for a refund and they won’t refund just wait until they finish preparing burnt food please don’t take orders more than you can handle

Food was amazing and hot with delivery plates were cleared well done kool runnings be back again

Food great ,as were the cocktails.

The food was really good, spiced up nicely and the portions were big enough.

Fantastic food and service! Thanks to a previous reviewer, I had the pork belly starter and lamb curry and can confirm both were fantastic 😊. Would definitely recommend with a bottle of Red Stripe 😋😋😋

What was this that was delivered? Yous cannot be serious. 4 slices of bread covered in cheese masquerading as a “pizza” and undercooked chips.

when we received order all the dishes were spilled and curry was everywhere

Super tasty. The pork belly starter was recommended and was so yummy - fab recommendation! Goat curry and oxtail stewed for mains, so delicious - best meal of the year!

Is it appropriate to make half of the 'oxtail stew' mix with sick chicken neck?

Well, I am quite surprised that my £18 'Oxtail Stew' was half mixed with chicken neck. At least, you should mention that there is 'Chicken Neck' in your 'Oxtail Stew'.

That was brilliant. Different, amazing flavours, definitely well worth a visit!

Great food. Large portions. Recommend.

A little piece of barbados in Inverness

Ordered the food. Called 2 hours later to see what the he'll was going on to be told it was 5 minutes away and it never even turned up

Too much cheese I can’t see the toppings on the pizza it’s pretty bad

Amazing food. I ordered Mama’s Sunday lunch which was a mix of fried chicken, chicken curry and jerk chicken. It took satisfyingly long to come because I think everything was freshly cooked. So delicious and really satisfying. Can’t recommend highly enough

Delicious food, also very good vegan menu.

Delicious food and very nice staff. ♡

Great food, service & cocktails
