Bikkle Island — Restaurant in Bristol

Bikkle Island is hands down one of the best halal Caribbean spots around. The place is always clean and tidy and the staff are genuinely friendly which makes the whole vibe feel warm and welcoming. Every visit has been a good one and the food never lets me down. This time I went for the goat soup and it was on another level. The broth was packed with flavour and seasoned to perfection with that classic Caribbean mix of herbs and spices that really bring it alive. You can taste the layers in it from the gentle heat of the seasoning to the depth of the slow cooked meat. The goat itself was tender and juicy falling apart perfectly in the soup. On top of that the veg gave it a nice balance adding freshness and sweetness to go alongside the rich broth. Every spoonful had that comforting homely touch but with a kick of spice that makes it unforgettable. Bikkle Island has quickly become my go to whenever I am craving proper Caribbean...

Frequent visitor to bikkle and never been let down here. Solid food with that home made taste and care in the food.

Had a lot of the dishes now and stars of the show for me which I keep going back to are brown stew chicken and also curry chicken. The jerk is also very good too!

Brownstew being my favourite, succulent chicken boneless fall apart in you’re mouth but packed with flavour, the gravy base has those sweet, savoury notes but with a kick of bonnet through it which we all love, this dish for me hits everytime and always go to order.

Rice and pea, flavourful fragrant and fresh, plenty of seasoning throughout and never overcooked.

Steam veg and coleslaw are a must have item here!

Always good food, service can take a while but nothing crazy. Would highly...

I'm relatively new to Jamaican cuisine, having only tried brown stew chicken from another establishment before, so was very pleased to discover this place.

Ordered mannish water and jerk chicken.

I could have eaten a gallon of the mannish water because it is so tasty. Lots of flavour, big chunks of goat meat (watch for bones), big chunks of vegetables and just the right amount of seasoning.

In no way am I exaggerating, the jerk chicken was the nicest chicken I have ever tasted anywhere. The marinade had penetrated right through to the bone ensuring it was packed with flavour. The meat was so tender that Shakespeare would write a sonnet about it. The portion size was just right too.

Will definitely be trying more...
