Onje is an Afro Caribbean food stall in Manchester’s Arndale Food Market serving a mix of Caribbean cuisine and African dishes such as Jollof. The jerk chicken is not bad and the plantain is good too.
Food was exceptional. Jollof rice was cooked perfectly. Jerk chicken was seasoned and cooked just right! I also got a chance to try the coleslaw before they ran out, 10/10!!! Will be coming back
Family lunch at onje was fabulous. Significantly large portion, generous and sizable protein. Soup was delicious and plentiful. The lady had a smile on her face through out the service. Easy to tell she is passionate about food.
Absolutely will recommend to anyone 100%
We had the beef stew with jollof rice and it was so delicious - the beef is really flavourful and the rice is not mushy at all. I got it with a side of plantains, which honestly might have been the best plantains I’ve ever eaten. £10.50 for a very big portion, I even went back to order a second serving of jollof to have more for dinner.
The portion is massive for the price! We were in awe as the lady kept piling on.
The food is amazing, always warm and tasty. We always get jerk chicken with rice and bean + curry goat & rice + side fried plantains and share, it's just the best!
Like the other stalls in the market though you need to pick the time otherwise it will be too crowded to find a seat.
The lady was the most pleasant. Generous portion for the price. Absolutely made with love when you eat it. Home made and very original.
I had the chicken, Jollof rice and plantain for lunch. Really tasty. Would definitely recommend and go back again for more.
Jollof, Beef stew and Plantain combo for £10.50 is a banga. As a white man seeking delicious food from around the world, Onje has been the only African place so far where every component of this combo has been on point.
Anyone wondering whether to try it 100% do.
Amazing food, I got the jollof rice, plantains and beef stew. Perfectly spiced and the lovely woman serving me was the cherry on top! Couldn’t fault it and would go back in a heartbeat if I wasn’t stuffed from the portion size!! Next time I am definitely trying the fried chicken.
Best meal I’ve ever had, hands down.
The food was amazing, spicy but amazing. The staff were very friendly and generous with portion sizes. The food was reasonably priced and will definitely try to go back
Great food, amazing jerk and curry coat but beef stew is my favorite, with amazing authentic jollof. Was very surprised to see Onje didn’t have a higher score.
