We visited this restaurant today. The young man who took our order was very friendly & polite; however, there was an error with our order. I ordered a curry goat roti but received a curry goat plate instead, & was charged accordingly-$5 more than the roti I had requested. We did not review the bill before leaving as it was retained by the restaurant, & only later noticed the discrepancy.
The portion sizes were not reasonable for the price paid, & the overall food quality & flavour were below expectations. Both meals were served with the same salad that was not great.
We also ordered a Jerk Chicken Bowl but received & was charged for The jerk chicken plate which also is more expensive . It included a good sized leg & thigh, but lacked the bold, smoky flavour typically associated with Jamaican cuisine. The rice was also fairly plain & under-seasoned.
My curry goat plate contained a limited amount of meat for the price, with many bones. While the meat was tender, the curry itself lacked the depth & richness we would expect from similar restaurants.
Overall, although the service was friendly & the portions were adequate, the incorrect order, billing discrepancy, & underwhelming flavour made the experience disappointing. Given the prices, we expected a higher standard, & would be hesitant to recommend the restaurant based on our visit.
I had the chicken roti & goat roti at the restaurant, then took the jerk chicken & fried chicken plates home. Man, everything was incredible every single bite. The jerk chicken had the perfect amount of spice, flavorful with just the right kick, not too hot & not too mild. Both the goat roti & chicken roti were packed with flavor & absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was for my girlfriend, & she absolutely loved it. Everything was cooked perfectly, & you can tell a lot of care goes into the food.
Their customer service was spot on, & the place was super clean as well, which made me feel really comfortable while dining in. We'll definitely be coming back!
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.
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!
