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.
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. 👍🏾👍🏾
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.
Absolutely loved the jerk chicken! Worth every penny. Ate inside & the vibe was super chill, plus the cashier had great customer service when serving my food. Will come again soon!
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.
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!
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.
