There is something about a foil box of jerk chicken, rice and peas steaming up the lid on the walk home that no restaurant table quite matches. Caribbean takeaway food is made to travel, built for a quick lunch on a busy day or a proper feed on a Friday night, and Liverpool does it well. A hot patty in your hand, a box of curry goat to share, that first hit of Scotch bonnet and allspice: this is comfort food you can carry.
For a lot of Liverpool families the takeaway counter is where the flavours of home stay close. It is where you grab the food you grew up on without a whole afternoon of cooking, where the person behind the counter knows your usual order, and where the smell of jerk and slow-cooked goat spills onto the street. The places below all do that job, some from a busy city centre unit, others from a neighbourhood shop that has fed the area for years.

What to Order
What to order to go The dishes that travel best are the takeaway staples: a hot Caribbean food patty for lunch, a jerk box of chicken with rice and peas, or a container of slow-cooked curry goat to share at home. Rice and peas is the usual side, and many kitchens will do a mixed box so you can taste more than one thing. If you want to know the dishes before you order, our guides to jerk chicken and ackee and saltfish are a good place to start.
