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.

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.
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

The food was really good, I had the beef jerky, I liked the sweet sauce on the rice, they're very generous with the quantity of food that they give, the fried plantains were excellent, I also ordered the patties to go, they were also very good. The service too was excellent & friendly, I highly recommend this new place for everyone to try.
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!

Lovely atmosphere, opening night, the vibes were amazing. Service was slow bc it was busy but the servers were nice & pleasant. I ordered the jerk pork , rice & peas & pineapple & ginger juice
I was disappointed bc you could hardly taste the pineapple, the ginger was prominent. Pork was dry with too much browning. I didn't taste much of a jerk seasoning & no gravy on the rice.
My feedback is to improve the taste of the juice to give the rich flavour of whatever the ingredients are, do a taste test before. Jerk pork does not need much browning if any, it will get its natural color in the oven. Always serve gravy with the meal, especially with rice. Can be on the side as some people have different preferences?
Good luck on your business, your pleasant attitude is contagious
Bigga Taste oxtail is crazy good. Meat falls right off the bone & the gravy is perfect with the rice. Worth every bite! Service was super quick, didn't wait for more then 10 minutes.
My boyfriend & I ordered 2 plates of food. We asked for EXTRA gravy for both plates, we were of course willing to pay for. There's was almost no gravy in the plate so I'm stuck eating dry rice & peas. There was also a jerk chicken plate with the smallest pieces of chicken that was basically all bone. We're very disappointed with the food this evening especially after paying almost 60$. This is our second time ordering from here. The food was AMAZING the first time so it was a HUGE disappointment. We would've been better off getting a pizza.
