A food reviewer from Manchester said he is "buzzing" after he found an authentic Jamaican takeaway which delivers from its home kitchen in Oldham.

Liam Peet, who goes by the name Peetyscranz on TikTok, has posted dozens of food reviews from restaurants and takeaways across Greater Manchester, amassing thousands of views at a time. 

While Liam and his partner, Leah, have visited Oldham several times to try out the food, including a trip to Frangos, Sizzle and Stir, Toby Carvery, Hustle Burgers, Georgia Fried Chicken, Lucky's Diner, The Kebab House, Friends Kebab House, Ozaks Smokehouse, Mother Hubbards, and, more recently, Khau Galli, he had high praise for the new Caribbean Kitchen Oldham.

The Jamaican restaurant, whose chef also cooks at Yaardies in Manchester, only recently announced it was "back" in the town and can deliver all across the borough.

Residents similarly celebrated the takeaway's return recently, calling it "fantastic news" and "happy days".

In his thorough review of Caribbean Kitchen Oldham, Liam told his viewers he had "an absolute treat" to share and revealed the Oldham-based restaurant delivered to him in Denton.

He ordered a £20 build-your-own 'munch'box and opted for jerk chicken, curry goat, sweet chilli chicken bites, garlic and herb fries and rice and peas which he also said came with two "proper" Caribbean dumplings and a "beautiful" homemade jerk gravy.

Peetyscranz said the meal looked "absolutely fantastic" and was reminiscent of the food he had in Jamaica.

He continued: "It smells amazing and the guy who delivered it was an absolute G, a proper Jamaican guy.

"The box is absolutely stacked. You could easily share this between two."

Tucking into his box meal, he said he was blown away by the flavour and authenticity of each dish, and said the takeaway gives generously "massive" portions.

Liam added: "It's got a nice kick to it. It's cooked to perfection. It's well nice.

"I've not seen a dumpling like this outside of Jamaica for a long time - it looks top notch and how a dumpling should be.

"Chips, banging. Rice and peas are done proper. That jerk gravy has got a kick to it."

Liam was clearly enjoying the curried goat as he could only muster a "wow" when tucking into it and described the dumplings as "sensational" while the sweet chilli bites were "more-ish".

He added: "Anyone looking for authentic Caribbean food, cooked by an actual Caribbean man, born and raised in Jamaica, we've found it for you.

"I've not even tried the jerk chicken yet and look how much I'm buzzing.

"That jerk gravy is doing bits for me."

He similarly said the jerk chicken was "proper" with a laugh, adding: "Too many places are just getting their jerk seasoning from Morrisons, rubbing it on the chicken and saying it's jerk chicken when it's not.

"That is proper jerk chicken, you can tell it's been marinated, seasoned correctly, and that jerk gravy again is a winner.

"This is mega, what a shout."

The foodie fanatic, who always raves about a five-star hygiene rating in his videos, also complimented Oldham Caribbean Kitchen for the top accolade and pointed out the restaurant also cooks its food halal.

He continued: "Just a note for my Muslim brothers, the menu says it is 100 per cent halal, so if you fancy some Caribbean food, get to this place because you will not regret it.

"My lips have throbbed up because it's got a bit of spice but it's all round my mouth and shows that I enjoyed it a lot.

"And I've got some leftovers tomorrow to take to work with me tomorrow for my dinner as well.

"So that's a winner winner, what a scran that was."
