Buckles and Jerdine Caribbean Kitchen — Restaurant in Manchester

If I could give Buckles and Jerdine Caribbean Restaurant more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. The food here is a straight 20/10—every single bite was pure bliss. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special, and I was not disappointed.

The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection, with just the right balance of spice and smoky flavor. The oxtail sauce was out of this world—rich, tender, and full of flavor, it had me savoring every last bite. The rice and peas were fluffy and fragrant, the plantain was golden and sweet, and don’t even get me started on the free vegetables! A delightful surprise that added to the overall experience.

The staff were absolutely wonderful—so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both the service and the food. The whole experience felt like a warm hug from start to finish.

I honestly wish I lived in Manchester, because Buckles and Jerdine would be my go-to spot without a doubt. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and make sure you don't miss this gem of a restaurant. You...

Had the fried chicken, rice and peas with steamed veg and curry goat gravy. It was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was lovely and crispy on the outside and nice and juicy in the middle. The curry goat gravy is to die for!! The dumpling was so good, o ordered another one. The lady Aneeka was really nice and friendly, great service which can't be said for many Caribbean food shops sadly. I give it 5 out of 5 and will definitely be visiting again. So if you're at a loose end and hungry in the Moss side/Hulme area, Buckles and Jerdine is the...
