Too Long; Didn't Read - Incredibly tasty, good portioned, comforting soul-food, served by lovely staff.

Full Review; I decided to stop in to Taste Buds as I was passing through Farnham due to the good reviews, reasonable price, and simple but comprehensive menu.

I've never had authentic Jamaican food before so asked the lady behind the about their most popular dishes and I was recommended to try the Jerk Chicken and Curry Goat for myself and my other half, so I ordered 1 small portion of each.

Both portions were served quickly after being reheated which were of a good size for lunch. The meats were served with rice & peas, as well as something that looked like cooked cabbage salad (though I forgot to ask what this was).

The dishes were excellent. The rice was tasty and well cooked. The cabbage salad was delicious and accompanied the dishes well.

The Curried Goat was tender, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. I cannot fault it. However the Jerk Chicken was the star. It was even better than the Curried Goat. Lovely barbecue flavour which tasted like it had been cooked on a charcoal barbecue, and I suspect this was the case with the barbecue visible in the kitchen. It was sweet yet spicy and delicious. My only very minor gripe with the Jerk Chicken is that if you're having this dish by itself, some more jerk sauce would've been nice as it would've balanced out the rice a bit. That wasn't an issue for me as I had 1/2 a portion of Curried Goat alongside so I had plenty of sauce for the rice. I think if I were to order again I'd either have a mixed portion for £9 (2 of any meat except fish), or just ask for a bit more sauce on the rice.

We also bought a couple of cans of Ginger Beer and Cream Soda which were great and perfect accompaniments to the meal, but also had Peanut Punch for the first time. This was like a thick peanut milkshake in a carton; thoroughly recommended!

Easy to order, good website with menu and pricing, and parking available outside.
