About

Comie’s Caribbean Grill is in the Cowley area of Oxford. It serves a range of primarily Jamaican dishes both in the restaurant and on Deliveroo and Just Eat. The decor is vibrant and features full wall murals of traditional Caribbean scenes.

Headlining the food options is ackee and saltfish, the Jamaican national dish. The ackee fruit is fried with salt cod, onions and Scotch bonnet peppers and usually eaten at breakfast or brunch alongside dumplings or boiled green bananas. Other fish dishes include fry fish and brown fish stew.

Jerk chicken, perhaps Jamaica’s most famous culinary export, is also on the menu and served with dumplings. There’s also curry goat, which is accompanied by rice and also available in a large portion. Chicken and vegetable are the other two curries.

Pepper steak (strips of beef fried with bell peppers in a savoury sauce) marks the appearance of another Jamaican classic. Rounding out the food offering is a range of stews, barbeque chicken and fried chicken. There’s also three side dishes: dumplings, mac and cheese and plantains.

Comie’s can also cater for events of most sizes. Staff will be on hand to help you choose from the menu and set up and serving of food is also included.

Mixed feelings about this restaurant

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. The service was not great. For instance, my wife and I ordered two non-alcoholic beverages to begin with. The chap brought the drinks, which were in a bottle and can respectively, but without any glasses! I had to get up and fetch two straws from the counter. Thus, a bad start.

We ordered two portions of Plantain with our meal. However, when the meal arrived, he said they only had sufficient supplies for one portion of Plantain. In my view, this should have been communicated to us, before he brought out the meals to give us the option to order an alternative side order.

As to the main meal, the rice and peas, macaroni and cheese and vegetables were well cooked and tasted good. However, the jerk chicken had clearly not been marinated/cooked in jerk sauce but rather it seemed that they grilled  the chicken first, followed by a lacing of jerk sauce on the top once cooked. In my experience, this is not the traditional/proper way to cook jerk chicken. Furthermore,  the meat was far from tender.

In summary, it is difficult to recommend this restaurant. The other Caribbean restaurant in Oxford is far, far better and that is where we will be returning to.
