Jamaya brings the vibrant spirit and flavours of Jamaica to the heart of Birmingham city centre. This multi-award-winning restaurant on Colmore Row is known for its authentic jerk and fried chicken, Caribbean cocktails and good vibes. It’s a lively, welcoming spot for birthdays, family meals and catch-ups with friends or colleagues, offering vegan and vegetarian options, so there is something for everyone.
Inside, the decor is as joyful as the food. The space bursts with colour and energy, featuring blue velvet seating, bold Jamaican-inspired murals and eclectic artwork across the walls. Pops of yellow and green run through the space, while greenery, warm lighting and a relaxed layout create a fun, tropical escape in the middle of the city.
Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, Jamaya is all about flavour. Their signature jerk chicken is marinated in secret spices and cooked over a pimento wood grill for a smoky, authentic taste. You can choose from mild, BBQ or hot variations served as a quarter, half or whole chicken, or opt for wings and boneless breast.
The Jamaican fried chicken is equally popular, crisped to perfection with Jamaya’s own seasoning. Chef specials include Jamrock brown stew, with chicken in a rich coconut and jerk gravy and Rasta Power, a callaloo stew with rice, peas and plantain. Lighter options include wraps, burgers and salads like jerk chicken or plantain and avocado, alongside classic sides such as rice and peas, cassava chips and spicy mango dip.
The bottomless brunch is a highlight, combining reggae beats, free-flowing drinks and authentic Jamaican food for an unforgettable dining experience. With its vibrant decor, island cocktails and bold flavours, Jamaya Birmingham offers a true taste of Jamaica right in the heart of the city.
