The food was so rich and delicious, we fell in love with the jerk chicken and the way the Mac and cheese was made - it had us scraping the plates and craving even more and the lady who works there was super friendly and hospitable 💯

Went as a group of 4 to break our fast was given water, dates and complimentary wings (tasted amazing), the foods like the Jerk and sides were all excellent along with the service. All halal and overall a great establishment worthy of a visit! Update 2025 This place has gotten even better went recently and everything tasted fresh and flavourful and the sauces are really really good. Highly recommend the Jerk , Mac and Chesse , Jollof and Jerk Lamb

Me and my sister went tonight around 11pm and the atmosphere was super chilled and easy. We ordered the quad combos and honestly the price was right!! Then the actual food was perfect. All the meat was melt in your mouth. The jerk chicken was absolutely the best jerk chicken I’ve ever eaten and my husbands Jamaican so I’ve ate that a lot in my time! The curry goat my sister had was top tier. The portions could never leave you hungry! We’re fatties and couldn’t finish it (not for lack of trying). That’s the spot 💚

Ordered a combo set meal sweet potato fries were soggy, the bbq jerk wings were freezing cold and tasted weird & the mac and cheese was just soaked in oil waste of 30 pounds had to go and buy more food from somewhere else, the coleslaw was literally the only nice thing apart from the battered prawns but only received 4 prawns even tho I had to pay £2 extra for it just not happy at all would not recommend eating here 👎👎

I ordered their jerk burger as I had eaten the day before and it was really tasty with good chunks of jerk chicken so I ordered it the following day for me and my sister and I was shocked at how it came, the coco bread was soggy with pink colour juice and the chicken was completely different, almost like pulled chicken mixed with a extremely spicy sauce so it was like slop in a bun where the bread has soaked up all the excess liquid on top of that whilst I took a bite I bit down on something really hard which chipped my tooth and cut my gum, I almost chocked in the process! I was really frightened for a moment and realised it was a long sharp chicken bone! I open my sandwich to find another two smaller bones in my burger! No care was taken when making my burger otherwise they would have noticed there was bones in my sandwich! I found three in total and reported it to uber. This should not be happening and it’s really dangerous had I swallowed it. I am really upset by it and have to go to an emergency dentist because of this experience. The problem with this place is consistency and not enough care taken when handling the food. Never again!

Owner response

We are sorry to hear of your unpleasant TSG experience. The pink sauce mentioned is simply mayonnaise and our customer favourite Homemade jerk sauce. The 2 seemed to have blended, all of our jerk chicken used in Burgers are from the same source as the pieces of chicken we use for our meals. Our staff are trained to take great care when making the burgers to avoid instances as this, and your feedback has swiftly been circulated and taken up with all staff members, showing the effects of not taking extra precautions, even if it only happens once. A further investigation has taken place in order for this to not occur again, it would be of great help if you could kindly provide us with your order details, by either contacting the restaurant via phone or email tastesoulgood@outlook.com. It is a shame to have only received this 1 star review and not received anything from the previous order which you did enjoy, however good and bad feedback will be used as part of ongoing training for all new & current staff.
