It was too good to take pics, came here second time and my belly attest to it. Amazing it’s like home food.

When a friend introduced me to the Big Taste, it was the first Jamaican cafe I'd experienced and it has become a big favourite for Jamaican food (Caribbean food). They don't offer a wide range of dishes, but for those on offer the quality of the food is reminiscent of that food made with love by a granny. It's so nice to be able to get a meal with hard food and not only have rice & peas as an typical side option.The food is popular with many locals who will gladly grab a patty at the least, which is a staple snack food with a nice flakey crust and good filling that will have you feeling almost like you got the patty straight from Jamaica. This place keeps it real and doesn't dilute the cuisine for those that can't handle a little spice and heat in food.Big up to Hamza and fam, continuing to deliver a big taste to the people of Brixton and South London! ?????

Friendly staff. Food a little gritty. Food hygiene needs improvement as can cause problems in your system.

I came here today at lunch time after my colleague noticed a long queue outside it one time when he drove passed. You only get long queue’s at food shops that do good food! Upon arrival, I didn’t expect to have as much as they did on the menu. Most good places don’t have a large selection on their menu. I ordered, and expected to pay before sitting down (as it was my first time here). From my experience, I’d my face is not recognised by the person serving me, they tend to charge before serving the order. The gentleman that served me (I’m assuming was the owner) started getting my food ready. I sat down as it wasn’t ready there and then, and the gentleman just gave me the food and told me to enjoy it.The fist and last bite of my oxtail with rice and pease was just as good as each other. Sometimes the food tastes really good in the beginning because of your hunger, but you taste what it’s really like when your hunger dies down. This food was absolutely amazing! My colleague ordered a fish dish and he was also thrown back at how good it was. I would most definitely be looking forward to my next visit!

Delicious plantain! Not sure what the standard is for jamaican food here, but I’m carribean myself & have eaten the cuisine at many American places.That said, the food is solid. They had a lot of juice options so that was nice. Food is not made to order but still pretty good. Think it’s a nice pick if you’re in the area and hungry, but I probably will search for better in London.
