Delicious sauce - Edit
I had the okra and butterbeans as my main. The coconut and spice sauce was delicious. It was a good sized serve and had a nice flavour. We had the fried plantains for an entree. They were nice too.

Lovely place, good food - Edit
I had the tofu jerky with kale with dumplings and plantain. It was a really delicious and warming meal, full of veggies. The atmosphere at 6pm on a weeknight was very relaxed, food came quick and good service.

Amazing food - Edit
The food here is absolutely amazing and the menu is great. Only thing I'd say is that the service was rather slow (took over 30 mins to get a glass of water) and I'd say borderline unfriendly (although it was very busy at the time). I would definitely reccomend as the food is sooooo good but perhaps for takeaway.

Tasty Jamaican food - Edit
We had the jerk tofu and spicy kale, the peppered strips in a stew, rice & peas, dumplings, plantain and drinks (Ting a sorrel and ginger drink which is delicious). The food was so rich and flavoursome. The service was quick and friendly. I liked the decor and atmosphere (soul music, candles). Would definitely recommend! #Veganuary

Mmm spicy! - Edit
Really recommend this place! Have to order rice/carbs as an extra. Mains come as the curry only. Although just a little too salty for our tastes - but that's what we usually say this when eating out haha!

Amazing delicious and hearty! - Edit
Highly highly recommend eating at fi real. They currently do takeout due to covid but we got takeaway and enjoyed them for 2 days!! We ordered the chickpea curry and jerk tofu and both were amazingly tasty. They also feel super healthy and not oily etc as some curries feel. Strong and flavourful Caribbean flavours too. So yum!

Amazing Home Food - Edit
Have been going to this restaurant for a couple of years now and have never had an even slightly bad meal. The restaurant is consistently excellent, the owners are so lovely you feel like your really welcome and the good is fantastic, great portions and excellent value. My particular favourite is the curry chunks with rice and peas with a side of spicy kale and dumplings can’t move for a week after but so delicious it’s worth it.

Flavour explosions 🙌 - Edit
So delicious! I tried 2 mains & several side dishes... Huge portions, I was stuffed & with plenty left for the next day. Best Okra & butter beans I've eaten, perfect, & their Jerk tofu I could eat everyday!! I ordered takeaway but the venue looked lovely & welcoming, as we're the staff. They make their own juices & smoothies, the Kicking Ginger definitely has a kick. Can't wait to try more from the menu!
Read morePros: Good, varied menu. Lovely fresh ingredients
Cons: I don't live in Bristol 😭

Flavoursome food - Edit
The food was really flavoursome and great value for money. It was authentic Caribbean food and the choice of dishes were really different - something for everyone. Also, even though the menu shows many different cakes, when I went there was only one cake to choose from (I think they make a different cake each day) but it tasted amazing and was light and fluffy. The lady gave me a large slice!
Read morePros: Yummy homemade cakes
Cons: Very small so book a table in advance

Top Vegan Grub - Edit
Bristol has plenty of options for vegans to enjoy a good meal but few are as good as this place. Vegan versions of classic Carribbean food all of which taste amazing. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great.
