Simmadown African-Caribbean Cuisine in Wyre Forest

Just had take out from Simmadown - it was superb. The curry chicken and the curry goat were both marvellous. Also, the chips are best chips I have had in years, better even than in respected gastro pubs or great steak restaurants. I will be back every time I'm in Kidderminster. You should definitely eat here too. Central heating for the soul! I mean it.

Delicious food! Chips were amazing! Really nice to try something different, spicy but flavours were great.

Love the food every time I order

If you want a match box full of rice with dry meat and mostly bones this is your place. If you want real Caribbean food go to the Black Country!!!

Food is reasonable, affordable and very tasty. Staff is very friendly ans know how to fulfill the customers need. I had curried chicken with steamed veg, chips, ackee and saltfish and fried dumplin was delicious. I highly recommend Simmadown for your lovely dinner.

Tried Simmadown for the first time tonight after seeing them on Facebook and fancying something different. All I can say is 'Wow!!'. The owner is bright and bubbly and this definitely has a 'small family establishment' feel to it. The smell inside is intoxicating, and the vibe is very much Afro-Carribean. We went for 2x large Curry Goat, 1 with rice and peas, the other with Jollof rice. A portion of Jerk Chicken, a portion of Plantain, and a 'Festival'. Better as a takeaway, as very limited seating inside. Food was piping hot by the time we got back home, and there was plenty of it! The Jollof rice was tasteful with loads of spices and flavour, the curry goat was some of the best I've had, the plantains were flavourful (better than ones in Revs De Cuba! Just wish there was more!), the Jerk Chicken was swimming in sauce (not something you get much of these days!), and the 'Festival' was a lovely sweet bread to contrast the warm spices. Soul found in every bite that matched the warmth from the owners when you stepped on the premises. For £31, it represents good value for money (we were stuffed by the end of it) and Simmadown are a small, local establishment that deserve to thrive. We will be back again, you have a new customer in me! Folks, get down and support your local businesses! This is quite an experience!

Fast delivery and beautiful food. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious! The curry goat is exceptional and the jerk chicken so tender and succulent. Perfectly spiced just the right amount of heat. Rice and pea is one of my favourites! Chips could rival even the best chippys. Lots of offers on and environmentally friendly packaging. Super portions and great value for money, I'm so glad I found this place, we will be returning often! The owner so friendly and welcoming. 110% recommend!

Food portions are great, always get good quality for money, friendly service. Would recommend to everyone in the area!

Perfect service every time 10/10 food

Just been here for the first time and will definitely be back. The food was amazing and Simone was lovely and very welcoming

OMG Kidderminster so lucky. Was just visiting and the food here is so fresh so authentic. And cooked to perfection. Spice levels are just perfect. Customer service was excellent very attentive, great chilled atmosphere, had a few laughs. Spot on place to eat 10/10

The food was lovely , service was great and it didn’t take long to make either so i’m very happy with it

Unfortunately I don’t have photos of the food because it smelt so good I ate into it and couldn’t stop. This is a little African-Caribbean restaurant run by the friendliest staff in a small shop, keep in mind there are only about 2 eat-in tables. I recommend the Jollof Rice, and we had the Jerk and Stewed Chicken which were both flavourful and spicy. Highly recommend this place! What a wonderful find 😊

Best atmosphere, very polite service received 👌. Food is 10/10. Will be recommending others to this place.

Absolutely beautiful food and lots of it I will be definitely using again even down to the chips so much better tasting with the seasoning a thoroughly happy customer should open a restaurant as there’s nothing around Kidderminster like it and I know would do fantastically thank you for an amazing meal

Overall good service and food was amazing 😍

Yup!Simmadown African-Caribbean Cuisine is a yummy-yummy place to dine and make you forget your problems for real, food is mouthwatering , drinks is quenching, the environment is a whole good and welcoming vibes and Simone crack jokes left us laughing , food served hot and on time with all that I am very delighted to come back over and over again. I came for Jerks chicken, rice, veggies and I ended up getting3 dumplings for free oh what a bonus. Thank you so much see yah all soon. ❤️

Great food! Great people! Always fresh and cooked beautifully, great value for money with very generous helpings. Extremely cute, sweet and polite Jamaican lady serving. I highly recommend this establishment

Curry goat(with a free festival dumplin only on a Wednesday)with rice and pea+vegetables 😋absolutely amazing food and the lady in the shop was so helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend!! I found the curry goat is hot 🔥 🥵but I managed to eat it all!The flavours are delicious.Thank you!

Not a good experience last night ordered curry chicken and 2 spicy rice with fried plantain and coleslaw the women was pleasant enough but told me she was just helping out curry chicken was Luke warm not rapped in cling film so went cold quickly only managed to get one burrito as she'd made a mess of the other that too was tepid hardly any filling a couple of plantain it's usually spot on there if your going to ask people to help out make sure they know what there doing I'll give it another go some time hopefully they'll get back on course🙏

Great food, and professional service., rang to sort out problem which was appreciated

The food was incredible and the staff super friendly. Great service with a smile, would definitely recommend 👌🏼

Had a fantastic takeaway away from here, tried the jerk chicken and the goat curry and both were so flavourful! The gentleman on the phone was helpful and friendly. Will be having takeaway again from here ! Just delicious!

Fantastic food and really fast delivery. We’ve never eaten here before and tried it on a whim. The jerk chicken was amazing, hot without being spicy for the sake of it and really good flavour Highly recommend

Amazing food, all hot and fresh, great service 5⭐️

I don’t know how this is the first time I’m trying this place but I will be back! Couldn’t fault any of the dishes they were all so tasty! ESPECIALLY the jerk chicken 😍

REAL Caribbean flavour, moist jerk chicken with that sweet smoky spice and fluffy coconut rice. Best jerk I've had outside Brixton. Large box feeds 2. Warm friendly vibe. I'll be back.

If you love Caribbean food like I do you’ll love this. A fantastic meal and look forward to the next one.

Great customer service and really tasty food.

Delicious food will definitely be ordering again, thankyou!

Amazing food, lots of flavour will order again

The food was absolutely delicious. I had never tried Caribbean food before and it was lovely. Delivery was a little late but the food made up for it. My only complaint is that the cardboard container for the curry was a disaster and pretty much disolved. May be best to pop it into two pots instead. Thankyou!

Where is my food it's been over an hour

I spotted Simmadown's signboard whilst randomly passing Kidderminster train station (they're almost next door) and I can never resist some good home Afro-Caribbean cooking, so I thought I'd check them out. I'm glad I did! It began with a warm welcome, verging on the hilarious, from the proprietor. I know what I like, so stuck with the 'benchmark' selection of jerk chicken, rice & peas, plus a festival (sweet, fried bread roll for the uninitiated). There was plenty of friendly banter whilst I was waiting, and I was allowed to 'test' the home-made jerk sauce first to see how hot it was: It was spot on - not ridiculously hot, but fiery enough, and with a great depth of flavour: jerk is all about flavour, not necessarily heat, and Simmadown's is just right. The chicken was moist, tasty, and on-the-bone. The portions were incredibly generous, and the rice and peas took me back to my youth when I first tried the dish prepared by my old Jamaican boss's wife back in the 90s: It's rare to find 'bulk' rice & peas that isn't dry, or flavourless, and I'm happy to say Simmadown's was great. The festival was also pretty good, even though I don't think is was freshly cooked (maybe that morning?) - it was certainly kept warm properly as it had the right crusty bite one expects from these delicious breads. It's great to find something at random which meets your expectations, and this is one of the best Afro-Caribbean takeaways I've had in a long time. I hope they do well and I can swing by next time I'm in Kiddy... I completely forgot to pick up a Grape Soda!

The food from Simmadown is outstanding. Just finished our second takeaway (we’ve tried the chickpea curry, jerk chicken, goat curry and veggie burrito so far) and we are hooked. Makes such a change to have really decent quality takeaway food round here. The staff are lovely too. If you’re thinking of trying it out, do it.

Another absolutely amazing dinner. I particularly enjoyed the Jollof rice with the Jerk chicken, and I'm so happy we can now order more jerk sauce 😋.. We will be returning again and again. Staff also very friendly and welcoming when I came to collect. Order was ready for me and it was checked infront of me to make sure nothing was missed. Delicious guys keep it up

Amazing food! So nice to eventually have somewhere local serving Caribbean food. Will definitely be ordering again!

Lovely food, hot and flavourful. Thank you!

Wow! Amazinggg food. Everything was so yummy. We tried the fried rice, jolloff rice, goat mutton, Jerk chicken, plaintain and it was delicious. Warm welcome and lovely service from the owner. We cannot wait to come back again!!!

Amazing food and fabulously service, stopped here during a long journey and would definitely stop again.

Tasty food. Great service. We had the mutton, jerk chicken, dumplings and the festival. Delicious!

Saw today on Deliveroo today and we thought we’d give it a try, was extremely impressed! Food was so flavourful, dumplings were wonderful, is definitely going to be a regular spot for us now!

Absolutely delicious! So much flavour, you can taste the love in the food 😋 100% recommended.

Had the curry mutton -- succulent melty meat and pleasantly spicy and aromatic. Delicious! Thank you for the meal.

I never reviews places but having had the curry goat and other bits it warrants the 5 stars. Shame this isn’t more local to me but I will back again soon!!

Excellent service and food was beautiful

I love this place so so much and I love ordering from them so tasty and so friendly you can tell the food is made with love. Im definitely a a fan girl 😍

Yum yum yum 😋 the curry goat rice and peas with steamed vegetables is absolutely delicious top notch and portion size hearty. This food actually reminds me of meals cooked by my extended family I haven’t had a takeaway meal that even came close to home cooked family meals before but this one does. I’ll be back again for sure. Even though I live far away from the restaurant/shop my food still arrived pipping hot. The delivery driver was lovely too. And to find a takeaway with Bigga Jamaican cola

Really nice food. The stew chicken is to die for! Finally I don't have to travel for jamaican takeaway anymore. Had some today and will go there every week x

Food is wonderful. Well cooked and spiced plenty. Really happy with the food we've bought from there . Great portion size too. If you want home cooked tasty food that's clearly cooked with all heart carry on down to Simmadown

Great food, great service from delivery driver, thank you 😊

Food from here is always really good but today was absolutely top tier. The curry mutton is one of the best I’ve tasted. Thank you for producing such good food consistently! Will always be back and thank you for the plantain 💛

Best food in Kidderminster! Friendly service, delicious food and good value. Everything on the menu is great 👍

Drove from Stourbridge in our quest of trying as many Caribbean takeaways as possible. Wasn’t disappointed and will be back. Curry mutton, rice n peas, veg and festivals - banging.

Excellent food and service, I had a phone call from the restaurant saying there would be a slight delay on freshy cooking steak meat, it was worth waiting for, we really appreciated the phone call update from the restaurant, the flavours of there food are beautiful and fresh, 100% in all and will definitely be coming back 😋 👍

Over the moon with my food was delicious will be ordering again soon. Was delivered quickly and piping hot by a nice happy driver. Five stars.

Amazing food, Friendly Service and always tasty 😋 Been loads of times and becoming my favourite takeaway in Kidderminster Personally recommend the curry mutton and jerk chicken So good and well portioned too, You won't be disappointed

Delicious! Absolutely lovely people as well, little gem in the West Midlands.

Greatest Carribean I have ever had! I work in Kidderminster and this is a massive highlight of my week eating here. I had Ackee and Saltfish with Jollof rice today, wow 👌👏

I was on my way home from the train station and noticed the Simmadown and thought I must give it a try! And I was pleasantly welcomed by the man behind the counter who was more than happy to help me figure out what I wanted. I ordered the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas with Steamed Veg and I was taken aback by how much food you get for your money. It was a very warm and comforting and was very much enjoyed. I look forward to going back again at some point to try out their other signature dishes like their curry goat mutton and dumplings! :))

Just bought myself some lunch from there. Me and my grandmother are shocked at how good that was. Will definitely be visiting again.

Delicious food! Especially the curry goat and fried doughball. Nice filling portion size and friendly delivery person :)

Food was lovely, only difference from the last time I ordered was the chicken curry was boneless unlike this time, and we prefer boneless, other than that was peefect

the curry was amazing will be having again 😍 I've never had it from there but will be having again

Amazing flavours! Good portions! Very happy to have a caribbean place deliver in my area. Food was delivered late but still gave 5 stars because they called me to apologise that delivery will be late. Great customer service . I will definitely be coming back again

Food was amazing and it was delivered early! Love this place definitely recommend 🥰

The food was absolutely delicious! I will most definitely be ordering again

First time ordering and it certainly won’t be the last. We had the regular sized meals after seeing some reviews which were more than enough. Very tasty with a lot of flavour. Will definitely be ordering again.

First time trying. I made a couple of requests and they called and confirmed to make sure they had everything right. 3 different meals all fantastic flavours and great portion sizes. This area needs a great Caribbean restaurant, chuffed I’ve found it.

Absolutely delicious! Curry goat, rice & peas box was excellent and so was the jollof & jerk burrito. Will definitely be back soon to try the oxtail!! Served by a lovely man who was very attentive.

Never had Carribbean food before so I called in and asked Mattias for his suggestions for a group menu. He put together a fabulous selection of great food, mutton curry, chicken curry, brown chicken with 3 different kinds of rice plus other sides and sundries. All the dishes were marvelous. If you've not tried this kind of food before pop in speak with Mattias he will put you right. If you're having a party, definitely think about Simmadown.

WOW just WOW. Been waiting for a real Caribbean takeaway to come to kidderminster and now it's here. Food is amazing and staff really welcoming. 100% recommended...

Had the goat curry and my partner had the brown chicken stew, it was really good and so glad to have a place in Kidderminster that offers variety in food.

I cannot thank you enough for delivering out to us this far, we moved here from Birmingham years ago now and until now haven’t been able to access locally this quality and flavour of traditional food. The mutton was delicious and the stew chicken so tasty. Cannot wait to order more and will be the large for us next time! Thank you so much once again and please don’t take us off your delivery area now that we are on it! 🥰

Excellent food, really enjoyed it and different to the usual food available locally. Prepared well, packed well in recyclable packing and delivered with a smile. It was a little later than promised, but would definitely order again!

Food was delicious, ordered stew chicken and it was so good! Will definitely be re ordering again with you guys!

Lovely food will definitely be ordering again!

Orderd takeaway and am delighted to say the food is fantastic.wonderfull flavours and extreamly generous portions.as a former resident from london many years ago i can honestly say i have not had such an authentic and delisious meal in my many years in the midlands.i highly recomend and the customer service is spot on .

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ! Our first time trying it and we will Be back 100%!!! Couldn’t recommend the mutton and chicken curry enough. Can I just mention how lovely the delivery driver was ! Well. Done guys 👍

Best food in Kidderminster by far!! Can't wait to order again! Goat curry and the jerk chicken were amazing! Served by a lovely friendly lady ! Good portion sizes and price!

Delicious food highly recommended

One of the best curries I’ve ever had. It was absolutely spot on. The goat was so succulent it melted in your mouth, super tasty and the regular was still a big portion! Will definitely be ordering again!

Amazing food, dumplings were top notch, and great portion size (won't get large to myself again 😂). Thanks for the awesome meal, can't wait to order again.

Kidderminster is so lucky to have this place! I only discovered Simmadown a few weeks ago and have ordered the large curried goat each time. It is incredible! Huge portion, great price and really friendly service. Hands down my favourite place to order food now! Thank you Simmadown 😁. Oh and also no plastic containers or bags, it's all card/paper.

Well recommend love the food nice place to have a sit down too. A must for visit and take away for Caribbean food

Gorgeous!!!! Curry was rich and flavorful, loads in a box to go round. Dumplings were AMAZING and will definitely be back for the Festival (sweet dumplings) Helped me choose and explained the options. Nice to have a healthier option to the usual takeaways. Love the decor and atmosphere inside too. Had chicken curry, rice and peas and veg with dumplings. Will be back for the stew as had a try and it was delicious!!!! Thanks so much!

Fantastic takeaway , something new and different for Kidderminster . The Jerk chicken is superb , i have also eaten several of the curried dishes and all very good . Brilliant service , very helpful and prompt . Delivery service is also very good , my new preferred takeaway in Kiddy , lots of other dishes for me to try in the future

A little serendipity in finding this place after arriving in Kidderminster after a long drive on the way to football. Great food, friendly owner and great value for money.

Absolutely beautiful the food and the service thank you again was delicious.

Had a fantastic meal from here. Had a large goat curry which was huge and tasty. Plus plantain and dumplings which were yummy. Will definitely be ordering again (and probably popping in for a sneaky dumpling or two) Highly recommended

We are so pleased to find an amazing local Caribbean takeaway! The staff are friendly and the food is so tasty and delicious! The curried goat was so flavoursome and just melted in your mouth, and the dumplings were cooked to perfection crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Portion sizes were good! Thank you so much, we would highly recommend this to anyone.

I had a meal a while back from Simmadown that wasn’t the greatest - got it through Too Good to Go. Anyway I thought that it was only fair to give them one more chance to see what it’s really like. Glad I did! My goodness what a difference! I ordered a large goat curry as my experience with places in the West Midlands is that usually there’s more bone than meat so you need to order a large. Not here you don’t- my goodness it’s enough for two meals! Comes with a choice of sides - I chose rice and peas and dumpling. For good measure I ordered another dumpling and a plantain to fill me up- they’re also dinner tomorrow! The food is excellent, portions are huge and I always judge a Caribbean restaurant on its dumplings and these pass with flying colours. I’m so glad I gave them another chance to prove themselves to me- no doubt I’ll be popping in just for fresh dumplings. PS can we have oxtail and cow’s foot please! I had a meal through the too good to go app. I got a huge plate of rice with a few vegetables thrown in and no meat. The food was cold and so I was asked to heat it at home. I like spicy food but this was so hot it set my mouth on fire and it was a boring dish too. It went straight into the bin after 2 mouthfuls. Sorry and it’s a pity because I actually love Jamaican food

Excellent as before, genuine homemade delicious food thank you 😊

Owe my felt like I was back in gramma Philips house. Moved over from Birmingham feb and met Jack the chef few weeks ago. Told me about the restaurant. First order today 😍. Lady was a pleasure to talk on phone. Then she delivered a box full to the top. Presentation soon as I opened box I said owe my gosh look at this. Had a massive plate of pure bliss (mutton curry fried dumplings coleslaw) and I loved it. Was amazing tasted perfect. Meat melted in my mouth. 10/10 nd what a lovely lady. That’s my Thursday take away sorted. When I’m in town I’m gonna stop for soup every chance 😍

Very nice food and very filling. Will definitely be ordering again

Amazing goat curry! So happy we have something like this here 😊
