The Big Taste Brixton — Restaurant in London

I came here today at lunch time after my colleague noticed a long queue outside it one time when he drove passed. You only get long queue’s at food shops that do good food! Upon arrival, I didn’t expect to have as much as they did on the menu. Most good places don’t have a large selection on their menu. I ordered, and expected to pay before sitting down (as it was my first time here). From my experience, I’d my face is not recognised by the person serving me, they tend to charge before serving the order. The gentleman that served me (I’m assuming was the owner) started getting my food ready. I sat down as it wasn’t ready there and then, and the gentleman just gave me the food and told me to enjoy it.

The fist and last bite of my oxtail with rice and pease was just as good as each other. Sometimes the food tastes really good in the beginning because of your hunger, but you taste what it’s really like when your hunger dies down. This food was absolutely amazing! My colleague ordered a fish dish and he was also thrown back at how good it was. I would most definitely be looking forward to...

The first order for chicken soup was really good. Second order for peas soup was also super good.

"I thought i found a really good place".

And then the next 3-4 orders have been so disgusting. I will NOT claim any refunds but I will also not be returning again and have now changed the review to a negative one.

This is a clear example of how a business could have done better to make sure the food served is good or simply don't serve. It is infact disrespectful to serve such disgusting tasteless red pea soup and pepper chicken.

Retaining regular customer is far better than quick money by selling any tasteless food.

3-4 orders in a row and all were terrible.

You guys can serve fresh tasty food as done so in the first 2 orders but what happened afterwards is probably one of the common reasons why businesses fail to keep their customers.

Food was so disgusting in texture, in smell, in looks and in...

When a friend introduced me to the Big Taste, it was the first Jamaican cafe I'd experienced and it has become a big favourite for Jamaican food (Caribbean food). They don't offer a wide range of dishes, but for those on offer the quality of the food is reminiscent of that food made with love by a granny. It's so nice to be able to get a meal with hard food and not only have rice & peas as an typical side option.

The food is popular with many locals who will gladly grab a patty at the least, which is a staple snack food with a nice flakey crust and good filling that will have you feeling almost like you got the patty straight from Jamaica. This place keeps it real and doesn't dilute the cuisine for those that can't handle a little spice and heat in food.

Big up to Hamza and fam, continuing to deliver a big taste to the people of Brixton and South...
