Chakku Caribbean Street Food is a casual restaurant at 180 High Street in Deritend, close to Digbeth and the Custard Factory. Its simple dining space places the emphasis on warm service and generous Caribbean food rather than formality.
Jerk chicken, mutton curry and brown stew chicken illustrate the kitchen’s home style approach. Rice and peas, white rice, vegetables and crisp fried dumplings complete the plates and provide the comforting accompaniments expected with slow cooked stews.
Seafood and salmon add another direction to the menu, while patties and macaroni cheese work well as smaller dishes or sides. A mushroom based vegan mutton curry gives plant based diners a substantial alternative with the seasoning and depth associated with the broader menu.
Customers can eat in, book a table, collect or arrange delivery, and the restaurant also allows diners to bring their own drinks. Its later service from Tuesday to Saturday makes Chakku useful for dinner after work, an event or a day exploring Digbeth.
