Absolutely delicious authentic Caribbean food. Curried goat, omg so tasty Jerk chicken, out of this world. Rice and peas, best I’ve tasted. Corn fritters, beautiful. Jerk pork, so tender and tasty. Jerk and buffalo dipping sauce just amazing. Service was very quick and the waiter so polite. Just a perfect meal in lovely surroundings with a great background of reggae music. Only one suggestion, for better value maybe some chicken wings on the taste of Jamaica platter would be good.

Food was fantastic. We started with the corn fritters and sweet chili sauce. Outstanding. My husband had the jerk chicken and I had the curried chicken breast. Both dishes with sides were excellent. Highly recommend the Dark & Stormy rum cocktail. Pints were good too. It was a crazy busy Saturday night. Good thing we had reservations and they were honored promptly. Service was still very good and our orders correct despite the hectic scene.

What a great find. Just off one of the main streets in the town. A small welcoming atmosphere. The food, cooked by the owner was of a Caribbean style. New for my wife and I. The young lady who waited and served our meals was brilliant. She really helped us to select the items from an extensive menu. The menu did offer plenty of non Caribbean items. Drinks and food was sensible priced, but it was the atmosphere that completed the visit. It appeared to be popular with locals. But if in Aberystwyth you MUST try this place.

Very disappointed, can't be Jamaican food... only a little of chicken maybe 100gr the chicken breast, soggy stuffing under the chicken, yorkshire pudding exposed as a ..omelette, half plate.. better see the picture. ...without flavour..chips? No, old roast potatoes, hard and dry seems cooked 5 days ago.. I just can say, it was the first and last time..spent 40£ for very bad quality of food also I get sick after this meal! Bad luck choose this place!

We passed this place last time we went to Aber and were excited to see a Caribbean resturant and vowed to return to try it. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. Both coming from a Jamaican family background and living in cities where carribean food is easily accessible maybe didn't help this resturant, because this was nothing like what we'd expect. The jerk chicken was flavourless with no spice whatsoever, it was as if they'd put a paste over the chicken and put it in the oven. The pumpkin rice was also flavourless, hard and had clearly been over re-heated. My partner had the jerk chicken ciabatta, and thank goodness we'd asked for table water because it was dry and again not seasoned. The plantain fritters were doughy and the mango sauce was too strong to go with it as it eradiacted any flavour that was in the fritters. The Mac & Cheese was a joke, literally i couldnt stop lauging but at £6.50 the joke was on us. It was a bowl of spiral pasta with melted cheese on top. The best part of the meal was my partners chips and my lime slaw, which even that after a while got too much to eat. A waste of money!

Booked this place weeks in advance as we fancied something different and boy we were not disappointed. Sizzling prawns for starter followed by the goat curry and chicken curry both lovely and great service by the young lady from the Midlands. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Visited here for the first time last night and the experience was good! It was quite busy and there were only two waitresses working so took quite a while for them to come and take our order but we were in no rush so that was ok. I have coeliac disease so when ordering I told the waitress that I required gluten free and she was very friendly and was aware of coeliac which was fantastic! She said she would make them aware of it in the kitchen which was very reassuring. Lots of items on their menu are clearly labeled with a GF symbol which is always great. I had the Jamaican potato and veg curry which was delicious and packed with amazing flavours! My partner had the jerk pork and he said that it was a very very tasty meal too! Will definitely be coming back here again!

This was the worst Caribbean place I've ever eaten, personally I think they are imposter. The food resembles nothing of Caribbean/Jamaican cuisine. I ordered curry goat and got pieces of meat and cubes of onions,the meat tasted like the goat still had it's skin and running around the pen,my partner ordered aki and salt fish but received a bowl of vegetables, having to look for the fish or taste of it,my daughter ordered grilled chicken which was almost burnt and very dry with no flavour. Servings were very small, an adult would need two or more plates be be satisfied, prices are an extortion. NEVER WILL I EAT THERE AGAIN!!! AND I ADVICE THAT YOU DON'T TOO,I PROMISE YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Disappointed that the lunch menu is really restrictive and excludes most of the dishes you'd want from a Caribbean place. The service was not good and it took an incredibly long time to get our food despite us being the only people in there. The food was average at best and it was accompanied by a LOT of flies. Not an experience I'm keen to repeat.

The food from Mama Fays was lovely and tasty. The only improvement I could give is that more sauce could’ve been given with the jerk chicken to make the meal more moist.

Came here based on the strong review from others. Found the potato and veg curry to be exceedingly bland and completely lacking in depth of flavour and seasoning. The accompying chips were well seasoned and the salad dressing very nice. Overall the dish was saved...

We had been planning to get a takeaway from Mama Fay's. When we turned up to order, we discovered they had covered outdoor tables so we nabbed one of those. We ordered the Taste of Jamaica platter for two with a couple of extra sides...

Really enjoyed our meals from Mama Fay's. We had a takeaway and enjoyed every bite; would highly recommend! Would love to have a couple more vegan options. Many thanks to the Mama Fay's team

Best bar in New quay Wales. Absolutely fabulous place, and the best bar in Newquay, sorry Sea horse 😊😊 Fabulous, friendly amazing staff, amazing choice of drinks, decor to die for, very classy bar, always busy, and great vibes, that says it all. Had a great evening in New year's eve, travelled 130 miles to spend new years eve there. I actually clocked the incident with customers and staff in regards to the Trip adviser, review titled "VERY VERY POOR AND SAD", dated 31/12/23 Unfortunately that appears to have been done by troublemakers who clearly visited the bar, looking for trouble, and had no interest apart from causing an atmosphere, as was NYE. As an off duty police officer was surprised they were not asked to leave as they conduct was appauling, and glad they were refused entry to the other bar, as clearly went there to cause issues also. Sad sad people.

Irie's Cocktail Lounge & Caribbean Restaurantlocation-iconNorthgate StreetOther international cuisines

Adoro Irie's. Ha sido 6 veces y la comida ha - sin culpa - estado delicioso, bien presentada y maravilloso. El personal es amable y atento (a veces casi demasiado amable!) y el bar de la planta baja es un lugar increíble para pasar el rato. Mis padres me encanta, a mi marido le encanta, mis amigos me encanta. Es un soplo de aire fresco en una ciudad tan apartado y repetitiva donde la mayoría de los establecimientos de comida son o muy caro comida local (algunos muy bien hecho, un poco dudoso comestible) o una selección de comida mediocre cocina asiática. Tener una mezcla de especias y ron caribeño en un hermoso poco convertida en esquina de estilo pub era lo suficientemente bueno, dado que esto, pero la comida es absolutamente cinco estrellas, y hay incluso ventanas de vidrio en el piso de abajo.
