Reviews describe Bigga Taste as a warm, clean family run spot offering authentic Jamaican food in Montreal, with generous portions and prices many feel are fair for the quality. The jerk chicken is repeatedly praised for being moist, flavorful, and well spiced with a nice kick, while oxtail and curry goat are noted for tender meat and rich gravy. Dishes like curry chicken roti, fried plantains, dumplings, patties, and ackee and saltfish with dumplings are described as flavorful and comforting, with fresh seasoning and a home style vibe. The staff and atmosphere receive frequent compliments for friendliness and quick service, though there are occasional busy periods that slow service. Some reviews offer more critical notes, such as jerk pork not delivering the same depth of flavor, variances in gravy, or higher prices and a card fee. Overall Bigga Taste is seen as a go to spot for Jamaican food in the area, delivering bold flavors, good quality, and a welcoming environment.
The best! I rarely leave reviews so far it's my 4th time eating food from here from the oxtail to the jerk chicken I can't get enough so clean fresh & tasty! You won't regret it🤌🏽
I'm still thinking about this meal 😭🔥 Bigga Taste really did their thing.
The curry chicken roti was next level 🤤 The chicken was so tender & juicy, packed with flavor in every single bite. The curry was rich, perfectly seasoned, & had just the right amount of spice. It wasn't too heavy, just pure comfort food done right 👌🏽
& the jerk chicken… WOW 🔥 The flavor was bold, smoky, & perfectly spiced. You get that nice kick without it being overwhelming, & it's cooked so well, juicy on the inside with that beautiful char on the outside. It tasted fresh & authentic, not rushed at all.
Everything was hot, flavorful, & made with care. If you're debating what to order, you really can't go wrong with the curry chicken roti or the jerk chicken 😍🔥 Bigga Taste is definitely one of my go to spots now.
I went to Bigga Taste the other day & I'm not even kidding I left smiling. The place has this warm, homey vibe the moment you walk in, & it smells incredible. The staff were super friendly too, like they actually cared that you were there.
But the food… that's what got me excited. The jerk chicken was AMAZING!! full of flavor, tender, & had that perfect kick without being too much. & the oxtail? Really good. Rich, soft, & just one of those dishes you don't want to end.
Overall, it was such a good experience. Great atmosphere, great people, & seriously good food. I'm already planning my next visit.
Best authentic jerk chicken I tasted in a while! Ordered on UberEats & that 65min delivery was worth it. Ordered 2 jerk chicken, 1 side of dumpling & a side of Plantains & I'm glad that I ordered them because it completed the meal beautifully. Jerk chicken meals came with 1 grape tomatoes, grated carrots & a Macaroni salad. The Macaroni salad was good. I asked for oxtail gravy on the rice but they didn't put a lot, wish there was more sauce. Also Ordered a large CHICKEN soup but as you can see that's what I got
Amazing place wonderful people & the food was fire🔥, I had the jerk chicken meal & a ginger drink & wow! Pleasantly surprised the jerk chicken was moist, sweet & spicy perfect blend of sweet & spicyness for me ,it was super tender it fell off the bone! the coleslaw was the best I've had in any restaurant! the beans & rice were perfectly cooked👌 but what really stood out is they put this type of sweet chutney on the side with the rice & omg IT WAS AMAZING! 😲 BIG UP!!!!!!! Nuff Respect !🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Beautiful place. The food is well flavoured, & well portioned. Our group order the fried chicken, curry goat, & jerk chicken poutine. Its a must try in Montreal for Jamaican food. 10/10
Great service & great food. I tried the jerk pork plate & an oxtail + jerk chicken mix plate, & I cleared both of them with no hesitation. Everything was seasoned perfectly & cooked just right. This place instantly became my new favorite Caribbean spot 👍 😊

Bigga Taste has honestly never missed for me. Every single time I've come here no matter what plate I order it's always good. No hiccups, no off days, nothing. The food is always fresh, seasoned right, & the plates always look super appetizing when you open them.
The curry chicken roti is fire every time. The chicken is soft, the curry tastes legit, & the roti actually soaks everything up instead of falling apart. The curry goat is just one of those dishes you keep eating even when you're already full!
Amazing new place in NDG, I tried the jerk chicken dish, it was delicious it comes with rice, sauce & salad, the portions are good & the price too, I am coming back for sure!
Bigga Taste never disappoints! The oxtail & jerk chicken were AMAZING & cooked perfectly!! I also grabbed a sorrel drink super refreshing & delicious. The restaurant is always clean, the service is quick, & the staff are welcoming every time I come by. Definitely one of my go to spots for great Jamaican food! 🔥

I came in today & immediately felt so welcomed! The place is nice, clean, & has a great vibe. The service was quick too didn't have to wait long at all. I ordered the jerk chicken & oxtail meal, & both were absolutely delicious, full of rich, authentic flavours. This was only my second time trying Jamaican food, & it was totally worth it. Bigga Taste definitely lives up to its name! I'll definitely be coming back. 👍🏾👍🏾
I've been meaning to try this food for a year now. A friend of mine kept raving about the food at Caribbean festivals. Finally got to buy the jerk chicken plate...WOW. The chicken is cooked to perfection & the spice hits just right. Can't wait to try the jerk pork next time.
