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.
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 👍 😊
Food is amazing. Having to pay more if you use your card is ridiculous though. A bit on the pricy side but its quality over quantity. Also do not like when the young people are working the phone- the restaurant closes at 10pm so if I call at 9:20 for a pick up & im told they are getting ready to close SHOWS ME they are not serious about their reputation or services or clients who spend over 100$ a month on them. I was just told at 9:20pm on a Saturday I can not place my order. Highly disappointed... & now unfortunately I will NOT come back there pass out the cards, or have the BEST to say. I will give the truth the food is good but the problem with west indian restaurants is not ever the food. Its the PEOPLE WHO WORK for the restaurant who are the FACE of the business....

This place is a new NDG gem! Let's start with when you walk in, it's so clean! Family run business, which I had the opportunity of meeting the owner & her sons who are so lovely. The passion in the food, you can see! But what we all come to reviews for is'is the food good?'
Let me tell you, it's FIRE! You can taste the love of cooking! I got the oxtail with plantain & fried dumplin; this is flavor! The sorrel had punch! 10/10! The patties are flakey & filled! Portions are great. I can't wait to see the new creations the chef if coming out with in the future! Bless 🇦🇬!
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!
Great atmosphere, went there for a comedy show, the comics were hilarious wish I had taken more pics but was too busy laughing 😅 will definitely go again Food was awesome 👌

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

I just had the ackee & saltfish with fried dumplings & it was very delicious. It's nice to have that real authentic tasting Jamaican food right here in Montreal. I highly recommend.
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. 👍🏾👍🏾
