Didis Dining - Norwich

This was a Birthday surprise from my husband. I'm of Caribbean background, living just outside Norwich. In the past we've had to travel many miles to find a decent Caribbean/African restaurant which wasn't a chain selling generic, over peppered food, but that's now changed!! Pumpkin Soup with small patties to start and then Jerk Chicken with Rice Peas a staple of Caribbean cuisine). Magnificent !! As it was my birthday the staff offered us a choc sponge cake with a candle to blow out a lovely touch, and much appreciated by us. Staff were all friendly and we were made to feel comfortable welcomed. Didi's is a hidden gem with more advertising they will soon be packed every night. They also do a Take Away service.

We purchased a Groupon deal for a 3-course meal and booked for a Thursday night. The meal was a set menu, and I requested non-spicy dishes ahead of time. The restaurant was very accommodating and even made a special rice for me without peas or beans. The food was delicious, and the lady serving us was friendly and chatty, sharing stories about her life in the Caribbean before moving to the UK. Unfortunately, we ended up being the only customers that night, which was a pity because the food was really good.

Restaurant was cold as only small fan heater and we were only ones there. Service incredibly slow considering we were due to have a 2 course set menu.

I am amazed by the food and service at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The ribs were incredible, I would do anything for them.

I did not receive my food after waiting for 2 hours. I tried calling multiple times, but there was no answer. This restaurant provides terrible service and is not worth visiting. I am now out of money because they failed to deliver my food, and I will have to spend even more to eat elsewhere.
