Absolutely fantastic food, lovely range of flavours and dishes. The restaurant was about 60% full and we had quite a lot of issues with service. I didn’t get my first drink until the starters arrived. The kitchen also couldn’t accommodate to a request to swap out an ingredient. Had to remind staff that we ordered drinks and hadn’t received them yet Other than that, lovely staff I think maybe just some more training is required or maybe it was just a tough day, we all go through them!

One of my favourite cuisines is Mexican food, I’ve tried all the new franchises in Norwich now but I’ve been meaning to try Jive Kitchen. I went with my family a couple of weeks ago and it is fantastic. I couldn’t believe the portion sizes. It a great little spot with a beautiful view overlooking the gentleman’s walk. We got the chopped cheese burritos, Og fried chicken burritos, Chicken thigh tacos, Loaded fries and the Pork nachos. I would definitely recommend sharing one burrito between two! An amazing combination of flavours. Everything is so fresh! My favourite thing we got were the pork nachos and of course the burritos! I 100% recommend! I can’t wait to go again to try some other things on the menu.

The Chicken Doughnut burger is absolutely incredible! If only this was on the menu all the time. Never had anything like it- perfection! Lovely staff, great service & obviously incredibly talented kitchen chefs! A unique & exceptional dining experience in Norwich- GO!

We stopped here for lunch whilst visiting Norwich. The design of this place is quite quirky but the space is limited. The food was absolutely delicious, we had spicy wings to start and burritos for main. We didn't manage to finish everything as the portions were very generous. The only let down was the service. Everything was so slow, we had to ask the waiter to take our order, to bring the cutlery and napkins, to take our empty glasses...it wasn't just happening naturally. Not sure why, the place did not look full of customers. They don't have a kids menu but it wasn't a problem for us, our little one just had fries and a home made lemonade. All in all, we really enjoyed our food and will be happy to give it another go when in Norwich.

Jive is up there as one of my favourite eateries. They can make amazing tastes from the simplest ingredients. The cabbage plate was sensational. But I have to admit my all time favourite is the OG CHICKEN BURRITO. It’s an exquisite balance of flavour and naughtiness. It certainly fills a hole. But if you do have room for more make sure you get the corn dip if it’s in season. There are still many more exciting meals to try. Looking forward to them

Excellent experience. Was able to book a table online and was immediately seated on arrival. The location is very well maintained and clean. The food came in a reasonable time and dietary accommodations where no issue for the team. All the dishes where high quality and well presented. Will definitely be back.

After some stressful and challenging days, it was my day off, finally. I decided to treat myself by going on my own for a proper meal. I put on my airy summer dress and got out of the house without makeup or having a specific destination - I like to live dangerously, I know. The weather took me mentally back at home, Greece. Walking alongside riverside with the sun showering my now milk-white skin (no tan for greek girls in the UK), I was getting reminded once again, how rich and beautiful this city's architecture is. Wondering what restaurant to pick for my special day, I realized I would fancy some nice and well made burrito, so, as every self respected consumer I opened my google maps, typed "burrito" and filtered my list to the top rated ones. Jive was just 5 minutes away, which was quite convenient for my hungry belly. I had passed 1 million times from their door but never noticed it. You need to be looking for their floor standing sign. Walked up the stairs and ended up in an extremely atmospheric well lit room, with vintagely ruined plaster, exposed subflooring and industrial furniture. The windows were wide open, welcoming every bit of the summer weather and revealing an inspiring angle of everything that was going on outside, in the heart of Norwich, the fine city. The tables are few, for which I'm not complaining about. After all I'm getting more and more anti socially british as the time goes by. You don't know me but I'm one of those individuals who love to sit in crowded places and watch the strangers around them guessing their stories based on details. Regarding people enjoying the Jive food there, there was a big group of friends, an old couple, a new couple (probably on one of their first dates) and two men probably on an unofficial business meeting. The food was just amazing. Prices are not the best but then again, it was expected considering the position and the dine in feature. Loved every aspect of my visit. Honorable mention? The polite and helpful service.

Casual, great service and brilliantly crafted Mexican food. The fish tacos are not to be missed, nor the loaded fries. Glad to see Mosaic pale ale on draught too

Great vegan Mexican options with a Korean twist. Really enjoyed the crusted sesame tofu and the oyster mushroom tacos. Also the handmade corn tortillas were perfect - I’ve not found anywhere else in Norfolk which does them. Finally the beetroot mezcal sour was amazing!
