Jive Kitchen & Bar in Norwich

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

I've been missing Mexican food since moving to thr UK and this was exactly what I wanted! The bork belly burrito was fantastic! I can't wait to try the tacos. Margaritas were a little overpriced but I'd totally come again and stick to a beer.

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!

Beautiful, relaxed and delicious! Just three words I would use to describe our dining experience at Jive Kitchen. The Fish taco by far the best thing (for me) on the menu....not forgetting the loaded fries! 😘👌you won't be disappointed.

We ordered one burrito each (2 people) which were very wholesome, great for a quick lunch option. Service was prompt and attentive whilst being fairly busy at the time. Would like to come again and sample other parts of the menu, although prices being on the high side is worth noting.

Banging food, great selection, good variations for meat eaters and vegans alike. The same Mexican dishes that we all know and love with some modern twists. Good service, beers and mezcal. The fish taco and chicken wings are an absolute Must. Best chicken wings in Norwich!

The food was tasty but the descriptions were poor. I ordered a chicken burrito not thinking it was spicy as there was no indication. It should have chilli's next to the spicy things. This is also not a child friendly menu. The staff were nice though and they did deduct some money from the bill for the inconvenience (unasked).

I went for the chicken burrito and had some nachos to start. Nothing wrong with the meal but there wasn’t a lot of flavour to it. Fairly pricey for what you get but nice restaurant, staff were good. Probably wouldn’t return but all in all an enjoyable experience but food could be improved

Great venue, staff were friendly and efficient.Cocktails were great although the selection of tequila and mezcal was lacking considering it’s a Mexican place. Food was amazing!! don’t be fooled, the portions are generous with each taco and three is enough per person, you can order more if you’re hungry after but I doubt you will…. Great value for money, will be back.
