Lovely people, amazing food we also got a selfie with the main man Glen.Would 100% recommend to any traveler going to or through the city of Bristol as we were.
The "as seen on TV" Glen's Kitchen #1 is every bit the hidden jem the stories make it out to be.
Its a short walk from the city centre and the thing that confronts you immediately is a large recipe for ackee and saltfish painted on the wall outside. Inside the wonderful staff are very helpful and even offered tips on seasoning and other things.
I had a medium sized vegetable curry with rice and peas, this is a generous sized medium.
The idea that just a few vegetables and some rice would be a wow meal is a hard sell but this is a wow meal, I finished mine and almost bought a second one straight away.
Rice and peas was nice but the curry is the star and its subtle flavours gently tickle your taste buds while the whole meal almost wraps you in a warm blanket of comfort food.
Glen's Kitchen #1 is number one, no doubts.
Wonderfully flavoured and big portion. I haven't tried Jamaican food before, but their akhee and saltfish taste uniquely delicious. It's Jamaican national fruit cooked to look "fluffy" like omelette. The jerk chicken is also good. Also, very friendly seller with lively music
I’m from London and every time I go to Bristol I’m eating here. The best food is curry goat which I recommend! They do extra large if you are really hungry.
We spent my 50th birthday last weekend in Bristol (our first time visiting there) after seeing "Remarkable Places To Eat" on the BBC where Michel Roux Jr took Fred Sirieix to the city to show him some foodie gems. So we paid a visit to Glen's Kitchen, where I had the jerk chicken in the photo below - it tasted even better than it looks, and it looked amazing. £8.50 for a large portion - and it IS large - and it is Caribbean food heaven. And they were genuinely & humbly chuffed that we'd come from Liverpool to go & eat there. I can't recommend it enough - it's well worth seeking out St Paul's Community Centre to go there & sample their food, and I guarantee you will not go away disappointed.
Delicious freshly cooked Caribbean food to take away or there's outdoor seating. Very friendly staff including the legendary Glen!
Food was fantastic, variety of Caribbean and takes on British classics, along with standard excellent quality classics. Highly recommended, and thanks for allowing me the interview with Glen!
Really great food, a real gem, jerk chicken and curried goat were fantastic. Such a friendly atmosphere as well, we will be back!
Tried their jerk chicken and their oxtail, both were very delicious, rich in spices, and look at the portion, so big, so satisfying.
Glen probably the best chief in St Paul's Bristol. If you order a large portion be aware it really is large!! Thanks Glen see you again. Amazing food.
Called #1 for a reason - the food quality is only surpassed by the service quality. 11/10
Wonderfully tasty Carribbean food from Glen's and served by really friendly staff. Reasonable prices for such good quality food too. Between 3 of us we had 3 dishes to share and all were, with the goat curry being our outstanding favourite - nicely spiced and full of flavour, no doubt helped by the meat being on-the-bone and slow cooked to perfection. The jerk chicken and fish meals were great too. We'll definitely be back for more....
Fabulous, went after seeing Glen on TV, tried the goat curry, jerk chicken and shepherd's pie, blown away by all 3. Portion sizes were brilliant, a proper dinner sat in the sun and enjoyed every minute. Fabulous customer service and made to feel very welcome. Cant recommend it highly enough!
Absolutely delish! Dumplings were sublime also. One of my favourite Caribbean dishes I’ve had in Bristol 😁
Amazing food! Very friendly service. I can honestly say some of the best food I've ever had!!
Went to Glens kitchen today. What amazing food!! Really friendly. Great service. Massive portions. Best value for money!! Thankyou Glen for your amazing food.!!!! 😁😊
I also tried G's Sorrel juice drink. It was so delicious!! Cold, refreshing, with a hint of ginger. I could feel the goodness!! Thankyou!!
The only reason I’m giving a 5 is because of Glen who is so lovely. There is a woman who is so rude everytime I go in. Got barked at then left standing so Glen had to serve me. This woman has put me off from returning. Such a shame.
The is, in my opinion, the best Caribbean food lunch cafe in Bristol. Glen the chef/owner is there every day cooking up fresh and very delicious food! His curry goat is the best I’ve had in a Bristol restaurant. He also does a vegetarian dish. The cafe decor is homely and clean, the atmosphere relaxed and peaceful, with a warm ‘community’ feel. There’s always great music (Glen’s own playlist) softly playing. The cost is very reasonable! Great value for the money! He does a ‘take away’ service as well. I highly recommend this place!
The best Jamaican food in St.Pauls, Jerk chicken is amazingly delicious!! All there meat is HALAL, definitely worth visiting this place and enjoying that exotic Jamaican Food.
I love their oxtail curry! Amazingly delicious, rich, and full of spice. I never thoughy that adding fried banana will give interesting and addicted flavour
