Henrys Takeaway

Henry’s is right by my flat and I occasionally pop in for some fried chicken. However, last weekend I decided finally to be brave and to stop only ordering fried or jerk chicken and opted for the ackee and saltfish, which I have since learnt is considered Jamaica’s national dish.
Obviously I have nothing to compare it too but I liked that it’s so unusual — I also hadn’t realised ackee is a fruit and has a very soft texture when cooked. The saltfish certainly is very salty and overall the dish is a little too fishy for me but I’m really glad I tried it finally! It’s a very generous portion and reasonable for the price (£6.50).
Anyway, if you’re ever in Hulme pop by for some authentic fare. Henry is also extremely nice and friendly.
