Jamaic Away

Jamaic Away on Whitworth Street West brings Caribbean home cooking to a compact counter near First Street and Deansgate Locks. The menu covers the classics — jerk chicken, curry goat, stewed chicken, rice 'n' peas, fried plantain, patties and dumplings — alongside a full Jamaican breakfast of pan-fried mackerel, eggs, fried plantain and Caribbean beans. Manchester Confidential noted the welcoming, homely approach and praised the friendly staff who run the joint. It's a rare spot for authentic Caribbean flavours in this part of the city, pulling regulars who value honest cooking over high production values.
