We found the staff really good, good selection of beers and the atmosphere wasn't bad at all. Now the food we took the 4 starters for £25 the wings were good, the belly pork chunks not bad either, I don't think if we went back we would order the shrimp or the fish cakes a bit bland. Main courses were belly pork, chicken thighs and butterflied breast of chicken..all ok but a bit lack luster! You would have thought that there would be a selection of fish dishes such as jerk fish, snapper etc.

Visited on a couple of occasions, both walking bookings, very accommodating, welcoming and attentive throughout. Food just like the service was amazing, the draft beer, cocktails and Sunday lunch sharing platter particular. Thank you to all concerned. Highly recommended.

I went with my wife, daughter, and FIL for fathers Day. The food was lovely but it was more of a nightclub than a restaurant, the music was deafening and we couldn't have a conversation without shouting at each other. I asked them to turn it down as it was hurting my daughters ears but it wasn't turned down much. I'll go back but for drinks only.

Had a lovely meal here with my family. The two male bar staff/waiters were so friendly and helpful. The food was really good. Cocktails very nice and reasonably priced. The only thing I didn’t like was the barmaid/waitress vaping whilst stood working at the bar! Surely people should go outside to vape. Will definitely return though as overall a lovely experience.

Not too bad but not good. Staff spent their time talking with each other but suddenly lost their tongue when interacting with customers. Music ignoring unless your idea of reggae is Red Red Wine on repeat. One dish tasted vile, others reasonable. Crap atmosphere. Very inauthentic vibe. Needs some life breathed into it.

Booked for a Sunday afternoon, couple of weeks ago. Recommended to us, and , I have to say, it was very good! Good choice of food - we had coconut shrimp (which were huge) and patties to start, followed by jerk chicken & goat curry. Great portion sizes, all cooked perfectly. Good atmosphere and helpful staff. Will definitely return.

Absolutely adore this place and would recommend to any one visiting Hull. Obviously you need to appreciate the food, which is, in my experience, very tender and kicks with flavour. The goat curry is awesome as are the wings and ribs. Plentiful sides too. Turtle Bay doesn’t come close ! You can actually taste the cocktails and would highly recommend the Reggae Rum Punch or the awesome Zombie. Their delivery service is excellent too! Can’t rate them any higher ❤️

Well, it was open for a lunch on a Sunday so we gave it a try. The attempt at authenticity with the tables did not inspire a feeling of good hygiene. I was told by the waitress that they did not have any bo-ols of wa-er.......just tap wa-er. The tap wa-er arrived with ice which was neither asked for nor wanted. Starters were OK but the chips which came with the main course were saturated in an excess of salt.....hardly good for an elderly customer. Sadly, the restaurant did not serve any desserts. Would we go again? Not on your life!

We were looking for something different to eat and this place was recommended. The food came quick and filled us up. Food was nice and reasonably priced. The stand out for all of us was the sweet potato fries. I'm not really a carb person but these were delicious. Cocktails weren't up to much, the zombie I had tasted a little petrolly. £68 for 4 people with 2 cocktails.

Been before a few times to have cocktails which are lovely but when me and my friend went for food it was absolutely vile to the point we couldn’t eat much of it. We aren’t ones to leave food when paying that much and we aren’t picky eaters but honestly that food was a joke. Imagine charging a tenner for a bit of microwave rice, some salad and then god knows what that sauce was but it certainly wasn’t edible. £6 for the small bites and trust me the name represents it well seen as you only get 3 shrimps, very disappointed with both the food and customer service. We kept getting rushed to order as if he had better things to do than be working which isn’t our fault.

The menu is very select, I eat most things however this menu is extremely select. My friend got ribs and I got chicken which I would normally like however my friends food was okay (she said she wouldnt recommend nor oppose) and I didnt eat even a quarter. When I brought up a problem they didnt offer any alternative even though I'd barely taken 2 bites. Charged us both full price even though we both raised issue half way through and ate less than half. The drinks are very nice and tastefull and would definitely would recommend, only on the fact you dont get food.

This place is an absolute disgrace to caribbean food. If you’ve never had it before then you may think it’s good but it’s not authentic. I had the curry goat and it was awful, barely any meat, bony and no flavour, it was really bland. I also had the festivals- hard and just unenjoyable. The cocktails aren’t that great either, they’re either really watered down or really strong. If you want authentic caribbean food then this isn’t the place.

I can’t believe these guys get away with such shocking food. We ordered take away from here. I ordered using the menu online, worked out the price to be just over £26. When I went to collect my meal, the price was £33.15? £7 for two pasties! Don’t even get me started on the main meal. We ordered a Veg roti and a Trinidadian jerk chicken roti, it was literally a cheap wrap some veggies and a sweet sickly sauce that was similar to BBQ. The rice was ok, very dry and lacking in flavour. The dumplings were dreadful and the plaintain was ok. The salad looked awful. The only thing that was nice was the sweet potato fries and for £3.75, You’d expect them to be.

After hearing great reviews about this place I was excited to try it out but unfortunately left feeling very disappointed. I ordered the arawak chicken which came in a very bland sauce and overcooked sweet potato fries which you have to pay extra for. The soft drinks are very over priced at £2.50 each. I left feeling like I'd wasted £15 to be honest. The decor is great and it is a nice place but the food did not meet my expectations and I wouldn't eat there again.

Just visited tonight. Great setting,good location, brilliant cocktail options. Starters where fantastic and set the scene for a great evening. Mains then arrive and one was stone cold! I would add the restaurant was not busy with only 4 other diners. It was acknowledged and was advised a new main meal would be prepared. During this time I had finished my main and was left eating alone.once I finished, my wife's meal had arrived. With an apology for the initial error but our evening out was spoilt by this. When the replacement main came my wife didn't no longer fell like eating as once again she would be eating alone. It's fair to say the we choose to eat out as a treat. You want to eat together and share experiances. This wasn't an option for us. The main was taken off the bill without request but nothing additional was offered in a way of an apology. Was advised that the manager would be informed but he was too busy entertaining his friends at the bar! It's a Shame as the food I ate was fantastic. The guys looking after us where great and always at hand to offer service. Please don't be put off by this review try it for yourself. Could have just been a bad night!

the table was booked in advance for a birthday ..only 6 people . We were sat downstairs which unfortunately was very cold and draughty and the noise level quite high . After we'd waited for about an hour , I called over the waitress and very politely asked her if she knew when our food was likely to arrive as we'd been waiting for nearly an hour . About 5 minutes later a manager arrived waving a chitty in his hand , telling us we hadn't been waiting an hour it had only been 50 minutes ..when my friend said he'd actually checked the time when we ordered , the manager then said he didn't think it would have taken his waitress 10 minutes to put the order through ..but he wasn't going to argue about it !! ( the only one arguing was him) ..then he said how busy it was and our food would be about 5 minutes ...no apology for our wait . food was adequate .

We love eating out as a family. We probably do it far too often. This visit was a bit of a whim on a school night, and didn't even know we were going there. Got to Beverley, and then started looking for somewhere that seems to have closed. Then found this place during our search. Wow, really pleased we found it. Got to try lots of different things, most of which husband and I have had while living in Manchester, but kids hadn't had before. We have one adventurous eating son, and an uber fussy 5 year old daughter. We often assume when we arrive for a meal out that she'll hardly eat anything aside from fries, maybe we'll find macaroni cheese. She doesn't even eat burgers!!! But she picked at various things like we all did. Definitely want to go back, but we like to keep trying new places, so not sure when it'll be.....next time we have an after school whim to eat out maybe??

The chips was soggy, the goats curry had no meat and all bone and potato in it, the shrimp dish wasn't shrimp it was prawns and the Luke warm sauce was all over the salad. The portions for the price was a piss take. Won't be ordering again. If you can't cope with been a busy restaurant and takeaway don't have both.

Had a lovely afternoon/evening in Roots! One of my favourite places to visit. Great music, great atmosphere and fab cocktails! Can't wait for the next visit!

2 for 1 on selected cocktails. We went on a tuesday afternoon and it was quiet. Only a few other customers in. Inside and outside seating available. Chilled atmosphere. Good reggae playlist. Staff was nice. Can't comment on the food as we didn't have any but I heard and read it's cheaper during the day and it can get easily packed on a night! Would deffo come again and the cocktails are delish! And good value for money I think!

Good choice of beer ,though blooming expensive .Always easy to get served and usually pleasant staff. Now here’s the big but ,those gents toilets are a bloody health hazard they need completely ripping out back to bare walls and rebuilding,The stench of stale urine is overpowering.

Best food I’ve ever had! I ordered it to work once—two burgers, two fries, and two drinks. Thought I’d save one for later, but nah, demolished the whole lot in one sitting. Next thing you know, I’m in a food coma at my desk, drooling on the keyboard. Boss caught me napping and nearly fired me. Totally worth it. 10/10 would risk unemployment for these burgers again.

I can’t fault this cosy venue; good food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It’s fair-priced and a joy for vegans like me who know there’s good vegan food out there if you look. This place caters for vegetarians and vegans; and there is plenty to eat and choose from, even for vegans. We’re much cared for. My only one quibble would be that there’s one very steep step inside. Can it be modified? Perhaps not if it’s a listed building. That aside I’m so happy to discover this gem of a restaurant in Hull centre.
