About The Drop Bar Cafe Restaurant

The Drop, as it’s known, is an authentic Caribbean/West Indian restaurant housed in a Victorian arcade opposite the bus terminus in the heart of Chorlton. It’s a place to rock those summer vibes year-round with its covered and heated al fresco outdoor terrace and colourful walls indoors. The team are passionate about how they use flavours, herbs and spices to create authentic West Indian and Jamaican food every day. Best sellers include jerk chicken and curry goat: the first marinated with a secret spice mix then flame grilled, oven blasted then returned to the coals; the second an on-the-bone super-slow-cooked one-pot wonder. Both pack a punch. Ackee and saltfish is Jamaica’s national dish and well worth a punt with its spicy and herby tomato and onion sauce; alternatively, fresh fish is also available in the richly flavoured silver hake and prawn stew. Vegetarians need not worry either as the trademark pimento jerk sauce coats halloumi like a dream, while sweet potato meets it flavour match with coconut milk and curry spices. There are also two veggie roasts on Sundays, alongside the Barbados-inspired Reggae Roast and a lamb chop and chicken combo. And you can’t leave without trying the rice ‘n’ peas, or is it the plantain, or the dumplings, fried or boiled as spinners? Pull up, grab and Rum Punch and try it all.

Food was fantastic and great value for money. Unfortunately they were mega busy (Mother's Day) and service was slow and poor I think due to staff shortages. Despite having booked a table, there wasn't one reserved and we had to take a table in one of the "outside" tables which wasn't great for my elderly mother who was cold and uncomfortable. We did ask for an inside table but were refused. I would visit again, but maybe when it's quieter.

My favourite place in Manchester for Caribbean food. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Attended as a group of 4 for Sunday lunch. The food is always incredible at The Drop, cannot fault it and I’ll always keep coming back for it. However, it’s unfortunate that the service is lacking. Though staff are polite when you do speak to them, they make very little effort to check on your table to see if things are okay, we waited a long time to place our order, then even longer for plates to be taken away that we were going to order dessert but decided not to by the time they came to us due to lack of time.

Good vibe and food but service not as expected. It was my first time visiting here and I really liked the vibe of the restaurant, music and decor. The rum punch cocktail was really nice and good value, the jerk chicken was delicious and the chicken and dumpling stew was nice too, as were the rice and peas and sweet potatoes wedges. I was offered water for my dog but it never arrived, asked for tap water and it didn’t come so had to ask again and they also forgot our gravy for our wedges so we had to ask. I think as we were sat outside it’s easy to forget about people and not able to grab attention of the staff as easily. The staff were really friendly however, just would have been better if they were a bit more attentive.

Love the vibe, tasty food, they are a little understaffed so the drinks can take a while to come but the staff are friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend if you want a nice and chilled dining experience
