Origin Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Worcester

Had an amazing meal here. The food was fantastic with great flavours and good portion size. We loved the decor here, we were the only ones in so it seemed a little bare but will be great when busy with plenty of space between tables rather than being crammed in.

Service was great and really friendly if just a little slow, we didn’t mind it being slow as we had plenty of time to talk and relax in at the table. I felt the wait staff were perhaps a little inexperienced but with time and training they will get there. It was a nice touch that the chef (maybe owner?) came out and had a chat with us to find out our thoughts on everything after the meal. It was great to find out they are planning to do a reggae night soon and have plans to improve the front area with a bar.

The only real downside was the entrance was a little confusing. You go into a small room with some stairs that take you to the restaurant. It could do with having someone out the front to meet and greet, or a sign to direct you to walk through to the bar and restaurant.

We will be returning to try some of the other...

Went dining there with 4 friends.

The place is really well decorated with good taste and in theme with the Afro-Caribbean food. Good music too. The staff were really nice and friendly.

We decided to try a bit of everything and ordered almost all the sides. All the rices were excellent, the festival dumplings delicious, the plantain and Yam chips were good too. One person ordered the Seafood Jambalaya and was quite pleased. The Mac and Cheese Lasagna was very tasty too. The Saltfish and Ackee Tartlet starter was really good, both went so well together. The root vegetable curry was spicy but good. Some dishes are already spicy but you can ask the cook to make it milder or hotter if you like. We were able to take home in boxes the food that was left.

They have a great selection of drinks, alcoholic or not. The Mai Tai mocktail was incredible.

For most of us, it was a first time experience eating Afro-Caribbean food and we can all say we will come back and eat more! Many things in the menu still...

Absolute car crash of a place. 10 percent deposit given via a website 1 week in advance. This was not deducted from the bill at the end and the rude manager asked for evidence which we had in the form of a QR code. They completely hashed up the bill leaving us owing £70.00 at the point where several paying guests had already left. A week later I called in and hoped that the manager would accept the poor experience but she demanded the last 4 card numbers of all the guests some of whom we only occasionally see to check their payments. A loud group of Polish decided to start DJ ing loudly near our table - not even African music and numerous errors with the orders and some guests not receiving their desserts. We were totally embarrassed in front of our friends and the owner just seemed to think it was a big joke. Absolutely sub par dreadful!!! 3 people in there on Saturday night, sums it up as no doubt will have to close due to lack of...
