The Deep Experience is a Caribbean restaurant and bar at 34 Bristol Street in Birmingham city centre. Opened in 2007, it pairs West Indian cooking with a welcoming atmosphere close to the O2 Academy, offering both table reservations and group dining.
Jerk chicken, slow cooked curry goat and ackee with saltfish anchor the menu in familiar Jamaican flavours. Seafood includes sea bass and coconut rich salmon rundown, while rice and peas, plantain, dumplings and vegetable dishes provide the traditional accompaniments.
Plant based choices are substantial, including an island vegetable curry with butter beans, sweet potato and squash, as well as Ital stew peas with kidney beans and dumplings. An à la carte menu allows individual ordering, while the bookable weekend buffet gives guests the chance to sample more of the kitchen’s range.
Caribbean inspired cocktails complete the restaurant and bar experience. Deep also prepares food for delivery and outside catering, but the Bristol Street dining room remains the heart of the business, suited to a relaxed meal, family gathering or celebration.
Address: 34 Bristol Street, Birmingham B5 7AA, England
