The overall impression is that Bigga Taste has become a notable Caribbean spot in NDG that delivers on authenticity, warmth, and flavorful dishes that locals and newcomers alike keep craving.
I've been to Bigga taste twice so far & definitely going back.
The service is friendly, the atmosphere relaxed & pleasant & the food is excellent.
The first time, I had the brown pork stew with rice.
The stew was delicious & the rice was perfectly cooked, I highly recommend.
The second time I ate there, I had what was easily the best fried chicken since I've been abroad & the fries didn't go cold one minute after getting to the table.
Both times, I washed it down with their delicious ginger juice.
Next time I'm in N.D.G. I'll definitely try the ox tail.
Only 6 months old, Bigga Taste is here to stay with their varied menu of Caribbean delights. Located 2 doors down from the 3 in 1 ,5480 Sherbrooke Ouest's Flagga Coiffure, Carols Salon & Valentino Trading, I had a chicken pattie cuz' honestly I was kinda...chicken. Happy surprise, not bland , dry or skimpy like some I have had. Bigga Taste's patties are full, flaky & perfectly seasoned as is , or with a sauce. I spotted what looked to be the last peice of cake & enquired. To my delight , it was described as coconut & cranberry & having had similar'cakes' in the past. I claimed it. Good thing , because yummm..
Can't wait to check out Ackee & Saltfish (one of their specialties) , jerk ++ Nice reggae music going on too & small bar w sweet tropical vibes

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.

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 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! 🔥

Bigga Taste is amazing! The young guy at the counter gave some of the best customer service I've had in a long time super friendly & helpful. The service is really fast too, I didn't have to wait long at all. I got the jerk chicken & wow… it was literally to die for. So much flavor & cooked perfectly. The prices are great for the quality you get, & the atmosphere is really nice & welcoming. Definitely coming back here again!
