Had lunch there and it certainly did not disappoint! we had the xl salmon and chicken meal and everything on the plate was on point. We waited about 20 mins for our food but I didn't mind at all as they cooked the meat fresh it hadn't been sitting there like other Caribbean food shops. Will make it a regular spot to eat I think! ���

Was worth the journey food 10/10 hospitality on point I would reccomend this food place to anyone who loves there carribean artisan food keep up the good work 1love
Food on point service on point... had a lovely evening with the ladies there on Saturday night! Would definitely recommend mellows.... thanks for an amazing night
This place has the best jerk chicken! The 2 days I spent in Birmingham, both of the days, I ate here!
1st time I have been to the eatery, food was fresh and full of taste, even the rice, which is hard to be tasty to me! Money well spent once I found it, options to eat in as well as take out. Tasty authentic Caribbean food with good service.
Now everyone that knows me is aware of the extreme difficulties with me eating out and being satisfied. Fussy eater is an understatement. Nonetheless I went to mellows eatery yesterday and had a salmon dinner and my gosh I was amazed with the presentation, the taste, the professionalism and ambience. Small and quaint on the outskirts of the city it really is a hidden gem. It was so good I ordered another dinnerto go and a dessert! So If you are in the city and desire some good food in a pleasant atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of the city head to mellows eatery. Oh and I must add it was all prepared fresh without waiting unnecessarily forever too. Top marks all round!!

Finally made it to Mellows eatery and the food was absolutely beautiful �� and the service was also excellent. I will definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.
The Salmon and prawn dish was beautiful! Thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely will be returning... Caribbean food with a contemporary tasty twist!!! Visually the food was presented beautifully and tasted even better!! The staff and Main man himself aka the Chef were so pleasant and welcoming.. Good banter whilst waiting for the food to be cooked from scratch <3 Thanks for a delicious dinner Mellow's crew. Highly recommend...100%!
Great food with a quality service. I had the Jerk Salmon Pasta with Prawns � absolute winner! If your yet to come here, then we highly recommend you pay them a visit �� #mellowseatery #theshillingfords
Popped in today for some lunch and was not disappointed! Jerk chicken was packed with flavour, authentic and tender. My partner has the sea bass which was cooked beautifully again with lots of flavour. The portion sizes are huge making it brilliant value for your money. Service is really warm and friendly and despite the constant flow of customers you really don’t have to wait long for your freshly cooked to order meals. Can’t wait for my next visit!
The food was freshly made, well seasoned and very tasty. The presentation was excellent as I always eat with my eyes first. Would recommend to family, friends, colleagues and business clients��
Xl jerk salmon special with chilli prawns,plantain,saluted potatoes ,rice n peas and salad the bomb that filled me up for the day
First time eating at Mellows Eatery today, I ordered Seabass - OMG so lovely my mouth was watering & tingling. Definitely will be coming back. Big up the Staff
The food here was simply authentic and divine. Granted it is on the pricey side but the food portions are large and the service was very good. I would highly recommend visiting here.
Absolutely amazing. They catered for our team away day. Prompt service, great interpersonal skills and superb food. I even tried their vegan dish which was amazing 👌🏾👌🏾. Would definitely recommend them 💯💯
I had a lovely Mellow’s experience, being Caribbean I find it very hard to find restaurants that are “Caribbean Authentic” but I’ve definitely found my spot it reminds me of when im Back at home, Food is made from and with Love, Presentation wise it’s stunning, Staff are very professional and attentive very good service, the chefs are very nice kudos to them and The drinks are too damn good.
If considering please dont hesitate you will love the experience.
I had the Jerk Chicken Breast XL meal with sweet chill prawn, dauphinoise potatoes with Rice and peas. And Drinks wise I had the Mellow Dramatic 10/10 🩷
First time at Mellows on a Sunday afternoon after hearing some great reviews of the place.
The service was okay, bit of a long wait for the food to come out. I had the Sunday Vegan Roast and my fiancè had the Chickpea Curry with Rice and Peas. The Sunday Roast was nice overall and the portion size is generous. In my opinion the vegan seitan steak was a bit plain and the Yorkshire Pudding was missing but I only realised this afterwards and wasn't told about this initially. My fiancè really enjoyed her Chickpea Curry though and said it had great flavours. The mocktails were also very nice. We will be returning customers to try the other food!
Very good restaurant for all your Caribbean/ Jamaican dishes. Food is amazing and flavourful. Great customer service and they even sing happy birthday to you. It’s a classy urban vibe. Very good for dinner before going on a night out.
I have heard so many great reviews about this place and I guess my expectations were really high.
The service is good, welcoming and smiles for the most part. The decor is very bland and could do with some updating. The seats were nice and comfortable. Outdoor seating was available and would be very nice on warm day.
Drinks were really nice, I enjoyed the cocktails and the mocktail mojitos were really good.
We had the following:
Tempura prawns - fine, basic tasted like the ones I get from Iceland
Chicken wings - quite nice, small, but a good portion
Ackee dumpling - tasty, dumpling a little tough but ackee was good- I like when I see more ackee than saltfish which I did.
Jerk chicken - was OK and had nice flavour
Curry goat - my friends enjoyed this, I thought it was OK..
Jerk lamb - I found this quite disappointing, it was overcooked and so not as soft as I usually like my lamb, it could eat and I did.
Mac and cheese - now this was the winner for me, it was extremely good, plenty of cheese and seasoned well, one of the best mac and cheeses I have had at a restaurant.
Plantain- as I like it, nice and ripe.
All the food was well presented and looks amazing.
There were some things they didn't have which is always disappointing, however overall it is a nice atmosphere with nice food. I Would go again and try something different.
This was my 3rd visit, and again, the food was amazing👌🏾 the service was also on point. We went for lunch, but my previous visits were both during the evening, however, due to the restaurant being bright and clear with daylight. You could clearly see the repair work needed on the ceiling and walls and condition of the padded seats, which need replacing. I was disappointed because the restaurant, despite the excellent quality of food; has been neglected & needs investing. I would love to see the decor and furniture updated (changing the takeaway polystyrene boxes to labled food boxes with labled bag)to give a more luxurious feel to match the service and food offered, so the customer has a full experience.
The food was amazing. The service was great, and the atmosphere was relaxing.
First, the restaurant was very clean and approximately a 5 min walk from Broad Street. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had a young lady as a waitress who was kind, articulate, very helpful and lovely 😍. The food didn't take long at all and was hot on arrival. Originally from New York and this has been the best West Indian food I have had in a long time and definitely best in uk. Yes meal was about the price of a trip to Dunns River falls, but worth it. I will be going again.
Amazing food, staff are so lovely and friendly the drinks are amazing 100% recommend all round an amazing experience
Amazing food, generous servings, great service always, authentic 🇯🇲 🍗 👌🏼
The food is very tasty, the chef did an excellent job. The waitress was quite friendly. Ambiance is great. Very busy place which speaks volume. Keep up the great work. I would definitely recommend this place
I had the pleasure of enjoying a Sunday roast at Mellows Bar & Restaurant, and it was an experience worth sharing. The menu was a delightful surprise, especially with its unique combination of traditional and Caribbean flavors. The curry goat was tender and rich in flavor, melting in the mouth with every bite. The oxtail was equally impressive, cooked to perfection with a deep, savory taste that lingered pleasantly. However, the standout for me was the jerk lamb. It was exquisitely seasoned, striking the right balance between spicy and smoky, and it was cooked just right, retaining its juiciness.
What made the meal even more enjoyable was the warm and inviting atmosphere of the place. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was comfortable and memorable. The ambiance of Mellows Bar & Restaurant, with its cozy setting and subtle decor, added to the overall delightful experience.
I would highly recommend Mellows Bar & Restaurant to anyone looking for a unique dining experience. Whether you're a fan of Caribbean cuisine or just looking to try something new, this place will surely impress you with its flavors, service, and ambiance. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
What can I say? I'd been itching to sample the jerk salmon after booking a family gathering and it didn't disappoint. The lamb and curry goat went down a treat too. Food was served piping hot and the portions were a decent size. In fact my mum took home a "doggy bag" wrapped in the traditional cling film as she couldn't finish her dish. The service was great and they managed to seat us on adjoining tables which was very much appreciated. A few were late but they accommodated us all and made sure we got our dishes relatively close together. The deserts were lovely with the apple crumble taking the favourites title and chocolate brownie not far behind. I recommend a visit to anyone who wants to sample well presented & cooked Caribbean food as I feel it's on another level and it's a nice chilled atmosphere. There is a carpark five minutes away which I recommend using as it's residential parking around the restaurant and you will get issued a ticket if you park outside someone's house. Just be aware you'll need to download the RingGo app to pay for your stay.
Great food. My favourite Jamaican restaurant. I can’t complain about the food. But the service could be better, like the waiting time etc.
Had an amazing time at Mellows, food, atmosphere and service was all 10/10. Great value for money too.
