Perry's

The food here is really good. Came to Reading for a meeting and came across this restaurant. I would travel here if I am craving Caribbean food. We had the brown stew fish, curry chicken, macaroni pie with a fried dumpling and salt fish fritter. Amazing! Would highly recommend.

Great home style dishes that taste divine. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves food that's full of flavour

The jerk chicken is very good, well worth buying. You get a lot of food even with a small too, great value, good food, what else can you want?

Perry's Caribbean Cuisine is Excellent the food the staff the quality Service has always been Amazing, My mum is in her 80's Also an Excellent cook of Caribbean Cuisine even she is a fan of Perry's food which says a lot, Long may Perry's excellent Caribbean food business continue.

I came In around half 6, so roughly half an hour before closing time. I initially wanted to order the Jerk chicken with rice and pea and a fried dumpling. Upon ordering I was made aware that they had run out of the Jerk aswell as the dumplings aswell as a few other things. It was only half an hour before closing so I understood and half expected this to be the case, as I know the jerk is popular. I ended up ordering the fried chicken with a side of rice and pea. The service was speedy and the staff very polite, even offering to wrap the food up (as I was catching the train) The price was maybe a little steep (£10.50) although the portion was generous so i suppose it makes up for it. The chicken was very flavourful and cooked perfectly although had little to no crisp to it. I suspect this was because I had ordered close to closing time so they were no longer frying new batches and I’d probably just caught one that had been sitting a while (I expect this is not the case when ordering throughout the day). That being said I would still give the fried chicken a 8.3/10 it was delicious. Next was the rice and pea. It tasted pretty authentic and was well seasoned (the cabbage on the side is a nice touch) and it all tasted like it was made with love. If I had one critique it would be the rice and pea was just a tiny bit too moist . Don’t be mistaken no one wants dry rice but if I’m nitpicking it was just a tiny tiny bit too wet, it’s a 8.8/10 for me. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in reading to try the Jerk aswell as the Mac and cheese and dumplings. I highly recommend!

this place had gone down small portions and higher prices i suggest you try the marketplace stands much better value for your money. large portion is £10.50 u get 2 drumsticks and one breast and rice and a small pot of salad . or eat in they way they can’t skimp out on the portion . standards have dropped here

Absolutely terrific Caribbean food. This is exactly what you’d get at a Caribbean grandma’s. Especially in terms of the generous portions. I’ve been to so many mediocre Caribbean restaurants but was told I had to try Perry’s whenever I’m in Reading and now I know why.The Akee & Saltfish is great too, very delicate in flavour which means it’s been prepared properly.The Jerk Chicken is exactly what it should be, fall-off-the-bone chicken in a perfectly spiced blend.The staff are polite and professional, you could see them welcoming locals and regulars which is always nice to see.Definitely recommend if you want some delicious and hearty comfort food. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

Hands down the best restaurant in reading - the patties are cheap and filling, and the curried mutton is just amazing. Helpful staff, lovely atmosphere - I’ll be back for sureHomemade goodness is a thing of beauty.

They had a great menu and the food was full of flavor. The price is reasonable and the portions are rather large

It was my first visit to Perry’s, and I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. The jerk chicken was tender and flavorful. The curried mutton was juicy and fell right off the bone. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The price was also reasonable. I would highly recommend it and would definitely return.
