What an experience! This was some of the best food I’ve had for a while!! I can’t wait to go back 😍 the fried chicken and the jerk chicken were both incredible, massive portions and the flavour was out of this world.

We also ordered Plantain and dumplings but they were the first to go - everything was so delicious and steaming hot. Can’t wait to come back and try the curry!

Meet the lovely Gee this evening (my first time in the restaurant) Just Eat missed an item off our order. We love Comie's Caribbean Grill and have ordered from here many many times. My son loves their Mac & Cheese side portions which is always on the menu for us. Gee went out of her way to replace the missing portion and was a true credit to her work at Comie's Caribbean Grill. This place deserves no less than 5 stars across the board. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always tasty delicious meals each and every time. We will continue to order from here for years to come. Thank you.
