Tropical Treasure's Caribbean Takeaway in Thurrock

Ordered through Deliveroo, it was the worst meal I have ever ordered. The only thing that was hot was the rice, yet as soon as we open it there was a very strong smell, almost like it had been cooked days prior. The mac and cheese was disgustingly sweet, with spicy almost as though it had been mixed with sweet chilly. It was even reddish in colour. The oxtail was very very sickly, too much oil and too much browning use. My partner curry goat was mainly bones. I was sent a pot of salad instead of coleslaw. For myself my partner and my two children it came to just under £64.00. The tried the food and hated it too, which is very disappointing, as now at 6.50pm on a Sunday, I’m now having to go out and buy food to cook as all of it was uneditable as far as we are concerned, we’ve had quite a few didn’t caribeans. But this is by far the worst

Great food, excellent service and pleasant staff.

Have been hoping to find another authentic Caribbean takeaway close to me, this place is definitely going to be a regular for me now! Absolutely amazing food, I’m so impressed!! Thank you 😊

Very good Goat and jerk 🙏🏽 popped in today for the first time as jerk is not really available where I live and very pleased with my lunch, very authentic food would definitely use them again 🙏🏽

Since moving out of London was missing a good caribbean takeaway. I came across this place on uber and was not disappointed 'Brilliantly flavoured rice n peas'. Jerk chicken excellent! I will order again

food was nasty I wouldn’t spend my money again on it. my dog wouldn’t eat it that’s saying something 💯😂😂😂😂😂💯 waste of money the place need help.

Worsttt mac and cheese I have ever tasted!! who puts red pepper in mac and cheese? ? Flavour was so OFF, really disgusting

So glad I found you , love everything you do . Saves me a long drive into London ❤️

First visit - husband loves the food as he can handle spice. The ladies were so friendly and helped me with my selection as I have spice allergies 💛 definitely going back soon 👍

We absolutely love this Jamaican takeaway. Their oxtail is the best and they’re massive too which you never get anywhere else. Also their jerk chicken just falls off the bone, it is so tender and just the best too. They really pack their orders and the flavours are on point. I recommend everyone to try and give it a go. Our go tos are oxtail, rice&peas, jerk chicken and their mac&cheese.

Absolutely the best food I've had in the UK. Very reasonably priced too. The ladies who own the restaurant are lovely 😍 our favourite place to eat (sometimes even a few times a week).

Great food ! Great customer service !

Amazing authentic flavoured food, we had, curried goat, brown stewed chicken, stewed beef, Mac n cheese & coleslaw, everything was so yummy and cooked perfectly, the Mac n cheese was the best I’ve had. Even my 9 year old daughter said this was the best Caribbean food she has eaten.

Been looking for an authentic Jamaican spot in Essex for 5 years and I think I found it!!!. Jerk chicken is the best I've tasted since my South London days! Oxtail was tasty and were very good portions! Wonderful ladies and owner at tropical treasures! This is now my local!

Great Experience Staff are super friendly and so helpful

Jerk chicken and Mac an cheese was excellent will definitely be ordering again

Title: Unpleasant Oxtail Experience Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) I recently purchased food from this shop and unfortunately, the oxtail dish I received was subpar. The attached picture clearly shows hair in the oxtail, which was extremely off-putting. This experience was highly disappointing and I would not recommend dining at this establishment.

Very experienced and very professional. Food very delicious especially their jerk chicken, my partner doesn't joke with it at all. Keep it up ladies

I’ve collected food from here twice now and it’s been so tasty and fresh would definitely recommend. My first order, I ordered ackee and salt fish and some dumplings. Even though they’re not on the menu, they kindly made this for me and they were amazing. Nice and crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Today I collected some more dumplings along with some jerk chicken and Mac and cheese. Both were excellent but the smoky flavour on the chicken was to die for! Plus the chicken was cut into pieces so much easier to eat. Will definitely be back soon :)

First time here, ordered dumplings with ackee and saltfish and food was on point. So tasty and fresh definitely will be going back. Thanks ladies was very delicious

Always amazing service! On time and never run out

Happy Anniversary! Food was banging, had the curry goat, Mac and cheese, fried chicken, coleslaw and pineapple and ginger drink, definitely hit the spot. To top it off they send some cake to celebrate their 1 year anniversary

Good portions and 10/10 food . Perfect

The food here is really good and always arrives piping hot , delicious oxtail and curry goat too Tried ordering the jerk chicken but the order was rejected as I presume they had run out

As long as issue is rectified but food is amazing nonetheless just stay in touch with them as they’re friendly

As a Jamaican myself, I will always feel confident I’m buying food here when I don’t feel like cooking. Authentic and absolutely delicious!

Great find , enjoyed my meal oxtail, goat curry , macaroni cheese, rice peas , beef patty all amazing , ordered through deliveroo nice and hot , Will be ordering again soon yum yum

I only ordered the sides, as I usually do when i try a new Caribbean restaurant. I always found that if they can’t get the sides right then the mains are probably trash. Was so pleasantly surprised when the sides got here and they were 10/10 can’t wait to come back another day and try even more! The pineapple and ginger juice was incredible!!! Fresh and tasty just Devine. Hope you lot are good with the customer service as well coming to see you lot next! Can’t wait 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ordered from here a few times now, different dishes. Have not been disappointed! Very tasty food. A Caribbean takeaway you can trust!

Beautiful food, so great to get proper Caribbean food in Thurrock. Generous portions and perfectly spiced. Will be back.

Ordered through Uber eats and was really impressed with the Food. I normally have to go to London for Caribbean food of this quality. The Jerk Chicken is really really good and I’ll be ordering again soon.

Food is lovely. Have been longing for a good Caribbean takeaway in Thurrock

Brilliant is all I can say. First. Class West Indian food great prices too very authentic

First time trying their food, it was delicious, definitely my regular lunch place for my take out now.

I was at Tropical Treasure at its opening and have been there 2 days since then. I must commend the chef, for proper Jamaican cuisine just like my moms use to make them in Jamaica. The curried goat the jerk chicken, oxtail n beans,potato salad, mmmhhhh, endless mouth watering dishes.,man I couldn't get enough. It was like being back home. Thank you chef and Tropical Treasure for your lovely home cooked meals 🙏

Just visited Tropical Treasure Caribbean Restaurant in Tilbury a few minutes ago, I felt for a Caribbean meal, and trust me, I was in for a surprise. I ordered an oxtail, rice and peas with vegetables and plantains, trust me, it was like I was back in Jamaica and the meal prepared by my moms. I never could imagine a more tasty home cook meal.🤗 Customer service is a plus. Staff super friendly.

Absolutely fabulous!!! So happy to find this place since moving from London almost 3 years ago. Proper cooked food!!! Nice to take a day off 👌🏽

My wife Came across this restaurant randomly. We decided to give it a try, I must say this definitely one of the best Caribbean restaurants I have tasted . I’m going back again tomorrow it’s that good lol ..

Amazing service and even better food. We ordered stew chicken, jerk chicken and curry goat with rice and peas and each meal was delicious! Glad we finally have a great Carribbean spot in Thurrock!

The jerk chicken and coleslaw was amazing, definitely recommend. Will be ordering again, shame there was no mac and cheese but overall lovely

Food was unbelievably tasty. So impressed.. finally a great Caribbean gaff in Thurrock, highly recommend. Curry goat.. unreal!

Awesome oxtail, rice & peas! Fried chicken was tasty too. Very friendly and pleasant workers. I will surely return.😊

The best in town, I strongly recommend!

i really liked my curry goat.Along with the rice/peas.instant service with the food.i'll recomend this restaurant for any carribean food lover.

Absolutely amazing food! The jerk chicken was the best we've ever had had along with the homemade coleslaw. Can't wait to get it again. Thank you ladies for your warm welcome and fantastic food.

Excellent tasting food excellent customer service the staff here are very friendly welcoming and accommodating Absolutely loved the Jerk chicken it’s a hot seller as it is being cooked outside on the Jamaican style Jerk pan it doesn’t hold up

Good food with good portions. Would definitely come here again. Had the oxtail and jerk chicken.

The food was amazing! The oxtail was so soft and oh so succulent! The rice was cooked to perfection! Although they did not do delivery the member of staff Terresa was amazing. She managed to accommodate my needs and find a way for my order to be delivered to me. I will definitely be ordering from here again!

I just got some jerk chicken from this place, and it was FABULOUS 👌. Best ever chicken I had in UK!

Had some jerk chicken which was beautifully flavoured with a touch of spice. Coleslaw was fantastic and well portioned. My daughter loved the rice and peas, so it was lucky that we got a double portion because she was ready to eat mine! We still have ackee and saltfish to enjoy later, as well as some fresh patties. What a welcome addition to the area, will definitely revisit to try the curry goat. Not sure if they sell macaroni cheese, but I would love to try that too.

Went here for the first time day! The service was second to none, the staff are so friendly. AND THE FOOD! Huge portions and I have never tasted Caribbean food soooo sweet! 10/10

Lovely food. Really nice party atmosphere will definitely go again

Glad to finally have a Caribbean take out around! Great food and lovely staff

The food is mmm deliciousooo. The oxtail especially has got me hooked! The staff there are always on a good vibe! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for proper Caribbean food.

I have always wanted a Caribbean takeaway to be near me and now it has arrived, I had to give it a taste test. It definitely did not dissapoint, I tried the jerk chicken, curry goat and oxtail meals and loved them all. Of course I'm a patty lover and have now tried the chicken, beef and fish patty and the crust/ flakiness is the best so far.

Lovely food! Big portions and great prices! Definitely recommend

Just ordered dinner from tropical treasures and can’t recommend the place enough. Really friendly staff and amazing food, the best Caribbean food I’ve had in years.

Wow amazing food,delicious,best I've had yet better than notting Hill carnival, lovely size portions,really friendly staff with big smiles will definitely be going back,

Lovely friendly atmosphere and great customer service. Food was really good 👍

I was over the moon to find a real Jamaican restaurant with the real Jamaican blend.! The blessed hands that made these dishes Thank You Again! I would recommend everyone to give them a try especially after my colleagues and I love the staff service and food. Efficient and sufficient Quality and Quantity.

I love the fish and oh my God, the potato salad is heavenly....love it. The oxtail with rice and peas... yummy

I drive lorries and was on an overnight stay over in Tilbury and decided to get some food in the town. This place was hands down one of the nicest places to go for Caribbean food. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a big welcome. Tropical treasures does the best jerk chicken I have ever had.. it was juicy and full of flavour. I also had curried goat with rice and peas and I thought of my lunch the following day and so I got a beef pattie. All the food was very nice and will definitely visit this place again if I'm in Tilbury.

Place of choice near me. Nice food.

Great service and hospitality Excellent food worth the prices

The food tastes authentic. I'm delighted to finally have a local caribbean food place.

The food was so nice and the servers were so nice would defo recommend 10/10

First Caribbean shop in town that closes late 5 stars
