We were looking for popular local food places to try (things we don't usually get back home) and I'm glad we chose Taste Buds! I had BBQ Chicken with candied yams and sautéed spinach. My husband had the BBQ chicken mac and cheese bowl. We also tried a little of the BBQ pulled pork fries. IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS! Best soul food we have EVER had. If we were local, we would definitely frequent this place!

We’ve lived in Aldershot for three years and for some insane reason, this is the first time we’ve eaten at taste buds and oh my god, we’re now kicking ourselves for not having been sooner! Absolutely amazing food. We had the jerk chicken meal which comes with rice, peas and salad and the ribs with extra chips and every single morsel was fantastic. Will now be returning frequently. Excellent value for money too, and lovely service.

I finally got round to trying Going to Tastebuds after hearing about it a while ago! Well! It’s safe to say I will now be a regular customer and the guys will soon enough know my order and have it ready before I even get there to place the order ! I grew up with my nans Jamaican cooking but she sadly passed away too soon and I didn’t get her recipes ! The food I had from here on Friday took me right back to happy days !!! The lady who runs it is so lovely and the chef was just making me laugh , all I could hear was his sing song patois and when a plate dropped his voice from the back of the kitchen “ y’uh a ju’s come e’re an mashup “…….. hilarious !! I had the curry goat, plantain, and got myself some ackee and saltfish ( my favourite breakfast)…. And my god !! Perfection !!! Let’s not forget the coleslaw too…… next time I’m going to mix it up and try the fried chicken and maybe the brown fish !…… can’t wait ! Get your backsides there if you enjoy good food and a warm welcome with a homely feel with lovely people !!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Jah’ ??

What a mint find! Having come from London where there are quite a few Carribean Food restaurants to eat at, this was stumbled on by my daughter...OMG Our happiness! If we fancy an authentic, delicious meal this is our go to now. Everything we have ordered has been spot on! Sometimes there is a queue but it's worth the wait. Good things always are! Kelly at the front of house is a charming, beautiful soul and the chef is in the back playing great choons whilst he creates his amazing meals. You can dine in or takeaway. It has a Carribean cafe vibe. Goat curry is one of my favourite curries and from Taste Buds I find it spot on! Try it, you won't be disappointed for sure!

This was our first visit to Taste buds, and very impressed. First appearances when you enter are a bright clean looking premises. There are plenty of tables if you are eating in. The menu has a good choice of classic Caribbean dishes. The proprietors are nice genuine people and the food is tasty and well prepared. Highly recommended

Just dropped in to this shopping centre trying to find a cafe to get a takeaway coffee to visit a friend. Really friendly staff and the best coffee I've had in ages! Sadly I don't live near the area so it will be a special treat when I pass through again - btw bacon & egg savoury was divine also :-)

Tastebuds provide not just food, but an amazing gastronomical experience. I love every bite I take there, I can't wait for lockdown to be finished so I can sit down and enjoy the meals with the awesome music selection curated by the chef.
