Best KPortal Reviews

We had a good time at Chef Shabbaz! The food was good and the music added such a nice vibe to the whole experience. The atmosphere was on point, creating the perfect setting for a Caribbean vibe. One thing I'd suggest is trying out a new sauce for the salmon instead of sweet chilli (too basic ). Maybe something different and catchy to give it an extra wow factor honey garlic glazed or a mango sauce or creamy coconut sauce something diff . Overall, I highly recommend Chef Shabbaz for a fantastic dining experience
We went here for a lads night out for food and wasn't disappointed the food was proper Jamaican style only down side is we tried to tip the staff and wasn't allowed they refused but when the food is that good you want to leave a tip and the owner shabba is proper down to earth guy
Overall the food was great. Amazing service. Ordered the jerk platter and everything was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked , the prawns were marinated in a tasty sauce , the lamb chops were so tender, the rice was lovely and fragrant and there was a good portion of fries. The mac and cheese was perfectly flavoured too and so delicious. This was the first time I’ve tried Jamaican food and it did not disappoint! I cant wait to return again , definitely gonna try the seafood platter. I highly recommend.
Visited Chef Shabbas yesterday for the first time as a group of 5 and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The food was well seasoned, and the portions were enough to fill us up. We all got a box choice each and were not disappointed. Was great to meet Chef Shabba himself, lots of energy and visibly passionate about his food! The staff were really welcoming and the service was great.
This was such a great find on a recent trip to Leeds. The food was really good quality and served hot. Staff were attentive and pleasant and overall I would recommend this for a unique date spot. Cost is on the higher end, but reasonable of sharing. Bathroom facilities are out of the way and need improving and as a hint provide wet wipes if bbq wings are on the menu. I would however eat here again!
Visited all the way from London, food is tasty and the rum punch on point, family friendly vibes on the corner of the street. The owner is humble. I will be going for sure, he has mastered the art of good cooking and good service. The waiters are extremely polite.
Seen some reviews off YouTube and thought I’d give it a go.
Ordered the Jerk One for 2 of us. To be honest, I did ask if this would be enough for 2 people and was told yes it would be, but it wasnt.
Quarter chicken, a lamb chop, 2 wings, 4 prawns, corn on cob, 2 pieces of fried plantain, a tiny portion of lukewarm mac n cheese (I did enjoy it though, its a shame that it was premade as the cheese was chewy - I understand not being able to cook fresh pasta every time but at least put it under the grill or in the over after putting fresh cheese on), seasoned chips and rice n pea (which was very dry).
Okay the jerk chicken itself was amazing, piping hot, juicy, succulent and perfectly cooked. I usually dont prefer jerk flavours but I really enjoyed this, had a nice gravy around it which was a great combo when dipping the chips and corn on cob.
The lamb chop was good - slightly undercooked but definitely flavoursome.
The prawns were fine, nothing special but i enjoyed the red sauce it was smothered in.
Its a shame about the mac n cheese as I did enjoy the flavour but was thinking to myself; if it was thoroughly warmed/heated again and a fresh cheese pull coming from it, would’ve been the showstopper.
The plantain, I thought it would be crispy as it said fried but it was just soggy and mushy, couldn’t tell what i was eating at all.
The atmosphere is lovely, felt like a real shack vibe with the outdoor seating and all. Staff are really friendly and approachable too.
I feel like for £27 that plate, felt overpriced for the amount that was there. (It might seem full but its a bed of rice n pea and half a plate of chips which shouldn’t cost much). Felt like I wasted my money a little bit and we were both still very hungry after but didn’t want to risk ordering more and receiving another disappointing small portion.
Perfect for one person to eat for sure.
Won’t be coming again but if you’re about, and craving jerk chicken, get it from this place!
Note: food is halal but they do have a bar inside serving alcohol. Music is a little loud inside so outdoor seating would be better if you like talking to each other whilst eating.
Resident Parking all around - no permit needed.
Am going with a 3.7
Walked into what I thought was a drinking spot. As you walk in, there is outside seating and then a small area with indoor seating. Few tables with a bar in front. The vibe is funky with music and a lounging atmosphere. This is a halal place, but unfortunately, they serve drinks.
Greeted by good service we ordered.
We got a rasta pasta chicken and a Jerk platter. Now I can say the food was really nice and flavourful. Pasta was good and the mixture of the platter was tasty.
This spot misses out on a 4 star due to the following..... music can be abit loud , I would prefer the drink section to be separated from the main food hall but my main gripe with this place is Price .
The platter was not cheap and I demolished it. For the price the portion should be bigger in my opinion and a full chicken should be given instead of half. Inexpensive items should not be overpriced to create a platter. Also a coke can should not be 2 pound. If this place looks into the pricing issue it could be a decent spot for everyone.
I will say , good taste and funky vibe, sooo. Its One to Visit and try.
