We loved the ambient atmosphere. The wall water fountain is beautiful and their signage on the wall is beautiful.The food is absolutely delicious. My friend loved the peanut punch. I absolutely loved my escoveitch fish and my husband loved his jerk chicken. The portions are large and can be shared if you are not a large eater.This restaurant is a hidden gem in Newcastle and well worth the drive :)TIP: Food is made from scratch, so recommend you order online and it will be ready when you arrive for eating.

The 45-minute drive was worth it. Ordered take out for party of 8 people, no issues! The staff is very accommodating. Try the curry goat; oxtail; chicken roti; veggie dishes..all excellent quality. Edward/

The food at Da Taste is absolutely amazing!!! You can ask any Caribbean person and they will say it taste like home.The vibe is great. They have live music on Saturdays that is fun and lively. Definitely a location that is a must experience. Da Taste is my new favourite spot!!Vegetarian options: They have this amazdish called Vegetable Delight. I must say is a favourite of mine! That and rice and peas and you good to go.Dietary restrictions: They are willing to work with any dietary restrictions you may have.Parking: They have free Parking within the plaza

A fantastic local spot! Robin is so gracious and welcoming, and the food is A+! The jerk chicken isn't too spicy but full of flavour, and the goat curry is excellent with a side of rice and peas. We recommend splitting a pineapple smoothie! Generous portions, great people, definitely worth a stop ? P.S. treat yourself to a side of plantains, they're the best!

Food here is incredible! Robyn is amazing and so kind. Attentive to your needs. Definitely will be back again. Thank you for a lovely evening!
Truly a great experience! Robin our server was the most gracious and attentive person I've met in a long time. Food, atmosphere and of course service was second to none. You have to experience Jerk pork and you will be back every day.THANKS ROBIN AND THE STAFF AT DA TASTE!

Do you know what heroin feels like? Neither do I. But, the euphoria that I feel when I take a bite into anything out of the Da Taste kitchen must be pretty damn close. The Ox tail is to die for. Do not hesitate. Look no further. The undisputed, uncontested jerk spot in the Durham region.

We have been coming here for years but thought I should update my original review. My wife and I came on February 8th, 2024. Robyn greated us with a very lovely smile and gave us a nice booth to sit in. We came about 40 minutes before closing and weren't rushed out at alll.Everyone that works here is lovely! The food here is consistently good, and we have not ever had a bad meal. Their hot sauce is the best around. I recommend the curry chicken roti, rice & peas, and a side of coleslaw!Thank you Robyn for your excellent service and genuine kindness! We will see you again soon!Ian & KimParking: Large parking lot here.
