First time trying here took a chance with a big family order and we was all really impressed, and they are picky eaters when it comes to flavour! For meat we tried the oxtail, mutton & brown stew chicken all packed full of flavour and delicious cooked to perfection Sides we tried pepper prawns & honey prawns big prawns and wow so much flavour the honey ones my favourite too too good, already thinking about when I can get some more . Mac cheese was 10/10 Couldn’t fault anything about my order and experience, perfect Definitely got a new customer in me I’ll be back for some soup soon (and some honey prawn) x

Worth the walk ! I stay in the city quite regularly, seems all the Caribbean takeaways are closed now. Sick of eating junk I made the walk (about a mile). So glad I did, what a treat to open this when I got back to the digs. Nice place too, would eat in, no problem. See you again, probably tomorrow 😍

Great food whether you stay in or take it away. I've never been disappointed with the food I buy from here. Music is played all day (sometimes a little bit too loud) but nice nonetheless. Friendly staff, give you time to look at the menu if you can't make your mind up. Decent portions. Sweet food. I plan to keep returning to eat here, and I also recommend to people I know.
Parking
Free parking is available in front of the store. Depending on the time of day, it can be more difficult. Parking also across the road in two locations.

Absolutely nothing to complain about here regarding food. Service was good too which makes a change to my locals. By a fluke I wanted to see what was nearby and I’m glad I did. Food was delicious, the nicest festivals I have had in a long time, jerk was perfect, rice n peas I could eat on its own. Should've asked for my coleslaw separate but I ate it all the same. Can’t even take a pic now as it’s already half eaten but so yummy, thank you for being open on a Sunday 😂🥰

Ordered for the first time today wasn't sure about something on the menu so called and got nothing but lovely helpful customer service. The food arrived early and was amazing. The portions were so much bigger than any other place I've ordered from before. I've never left a review on anything before but this deserved 5+ stars all round. Perfect customer service n even more perfect delicious food. 10/10

I ordered food from there yesterday the food was amazing. I’ve ordered from them loads of times I’ve always been pleased with their phenomenal service and their kindness. This is the only place I’ve ordered from in Birmingham that is Caribbean for a long time, super proud of their success & super excited to try them out once they have seating to enjoy the food in the kitchen. They also have their Chef on show (who I personally know) and the health and safety in there is also fantastic. Their menu has a great variety as well their Honey Prawns are WOW speechless I can’t even get into how great they are plus they always get sold out so that should tell you. I can go on about how great this business is. Friendly staff, clean environment and very welcoming x

Tru Spice where do I start... The food is great.. my favourite is Red Kidney bean soup, Tru Spice has one of the best recipes. I love the natural juice combo.. these are excellent if you're looking to loose weight 😊 Overall the portions are a fair size.. there is evidence of active cleanliness in the kitchen and customer areas which is a must for me. Customer service is excellent and staff are extremely welcoming, great value for money. I would definitely recommend this store.

The food from this restaurant is absolutely beautiful. I ordered stew peas soup and a prawn meal. My mother loved her prawns and she's nearly 90 yrs and doesn't eat out, she said " dem can surly cook man".. thank you and see real soon compliments to the chef. And the restaurant is absolutely stunning well done to the owner😊
