    I visited Island Vibe on a Saturday midday. It was my first time visiting and I’m not from Manchester so it was a place I had just found on Google. The atmosphere was lovely. We got to choose where to sit as it was quiet, the seating was really comfy. The woman who served us was really helpful and welcoming. The food was really nice and came in good portions. I would say it was a bit more expensive than I would’ve expected for caribbean food, however I did enjoy the food and I will be back! Thank you!

    The food was amazing! It felt like real Caribbean food, not manipulated for the English palette like the big chain versions are, and it was delicious. We had the ackee and saltfish, and the the ital stew and they were both absolutely lush. The crispy prawns and the prawn salad starters were also delicious. Drinks service was a bit slow. Not enough to put us off though, we’d definitely return and look forward to trying the new menu when it becomes available.

    Me and my partner love Caribbean food so we decided to take a date to Island Vibe in Chorlton back in August The staff were lovely, two very bubbly ladies greeted us kindly and we grabbed a seat in no time. We enjoyed our cocktails whilst waiting for the food and it did not disappoint! Jerk chicken, plantain, rice and peas, dumplings, wings, fries all amaze. The GOOD stuff Really recommend

    The service was well below average. We were told informally that there was a shortage of Restaurant staff. The bar staff were doubling up as food serving staff, and although they did a great job, the service was slow. There was a breakdown in communication among waiters who took our requests and whose shifts ended and the staff who were on duty. We were not informed that there were no plantains when we ordered. We had to ask what alternative to plantain was available instead of the restaurant offering us an alternative.

    Table booked for 1pm. Staff welcoming although it appeared that the cleaner was finishing off. A bit cold inside as sliding doors open for a short while so the floor could dry. Food and service was good. Need to purchase larger jugs for water. Would recommend this restaurant.

    I had the Christmas Jerk Turkey and my friend had the Jerk Chicken, we both really enjoyed the food as it was full of flavour. I just loved the Caribbean spin on the traditional Christmas. I also love the presentation and the waiter was very attentive too.

    Some of the waitresses are rude and don't listen to your orders and charge you more. My food was also not nice. If I could post a picture of my bloody chicken wings I would but it was slowly "cooked" it wouldn't really be bleeding that much to the point of where I don't eat my food. Waste of money. Also I asked for a booth and they put us bang in the middle without even looking at the reservation.

    Best Caribbean food restaurant in Manchester, the food tasted just like a home cooked meal and for a family of Caribbeans who have grown up eating this type of food it really speaks volumes. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and although there were a few blips with our orders when they came out, it was dealt with efficiently and with professionalism. Our waitress was outstanding, super attentive and friendly and had such a positive vibe about her. She is a credit and I would definitely visit again. The only thing I would say is the music was a touch too loud at times and we were practically shouting at one another across the table, but none the less the music was still top form and we enjoyed listening to it

    Went for by 20th birthday lunch and was recognised by staff as a Returning customer, we were incredibly well looked after and there was even a cake and shot on the house! I can't recommend the bar enough but more than that I would recommend becoming a returning customer to anyone because the staff are just so friendly.

    Table was booked for 19:00 and we were greeted and diligently looked after by staff. Staff were friendly, smiley and polite. Chefs made excellent food from starter through to dessert, great plating, presentation and quality of food. All round good evening. We were able to conduct business discussion with no distractions.
