Slice of Meat

I have been here many times with my family and the customer service is brilliant every single time. They are buggy friendly which helps with a newborn. The food quality is without a doubt the most delicious food and outstanding quality in meat. The owners have worked in Guanabana before and definitely have knowledge in their cooking. Their deserts and mojitos are so moreish you will always feel the urge to go back! Literally, everything tastes yum - yet to find a fault.

Amazing Halal Caribbean cuisine. Food Quality was amazing. Very friendly service and very hospitable. The jerk prawns was amazing as a starter and jerk Mixed grill was lovely We got complementary dessert which was really nice. All round amazing food

The quality of food at Slice of Meat is unmatched. You can taste the fresh ingredients and the attention to detail given to the flavours. It was very unique.

The lamb chops were tender and the doner was well balanced in flavour and not at all overpowering.
The mojito was refreshing and really went well with our meal.

The customer service here is amazing too. They make you feel at home and they are really helpful with recommendations. You can tell that they are not trying to sell, they are just passionate about their food and want to share that with everybody.

I would highly, highly recommend everyone to give Slice of Meat a try, you will not have any regrets, except that you didn’t go sooner!

The smell, the flavours and taste. All great and has a Bengali twist on authentic Caribbean dishes. No extra sauces are needed because the marinade is just that good. I had to ask for extra bread to mop up that beautiful sauce its served with.

Amazing halal food! Great mix of spice and flavours. Portion sizes are generous. Their pulled beef was on point. Bilog ice cream for dessert was really good. On top of that, customer service was amazing, staff were amazing. Will be coming again to try their ribs and for brunch too.

Rudie's Jerk Shack (Mercato Metropolitano, Elephant & Castle))

Ordered goat curry and rice and peas for delivery. It was the worst I've ever had. The sauce was like Water and when i tipped it out onto my plate you could see curry powder all in the bottom of container it tasted like they put boiling water on curry powder. I couldn't even eat it as it was that bad. If I lived near the restaurant i would have taken it straight back.

Chicken was super dry and no fresh. Looked like it had been cooked hours earlier and left to dry out before being served. Very disappointed.

Uniquely bad food (spoiled rice) and bumbling service (botched a simple order).

Avoid avoid avoid at all cost! Driest tasteless rice and beans and cabbage in slaw fermented so it smelled awful. Dreadful place never again!

Decent food, but unfortunately won’t be coming back due to an unpleasant interaction with one of their staff.

Rudie's Jerk Shack

Rudie's Jerk Shack (Canary Wharf)

I had the jerk chicken box with rice and jerk fries (see image attached - I already started eating before taking the picture).

Everything was great - there were no bones with my chicken, it was charred on the grill and still juicy. The gravy that accompanied them was flavourful and enhanced the whole box.

The most surprising part of the meal was actually the (cherry?) tomato which was in the gravy; it was bursting full of flavour from the gravy. It doesn't always come with the gravy as I didn't see any in the orders before mine, but they should consider adding it to each box.

Would recommend and will be back

The seller didn't say a word while he was taking my order, which I interpret as being rude.

The food was so-so. Jerk chicken inconveniently comes with a bone, the slaw is too fatty. The fried plantain was nice though, thus +1 star.

Overall too fatty, too much liquid gravy. The meal items don't play together well.

Won't come again. Definitely not a £10 service.

0 stars.Food is prepared by another company and simply put on the grill, it's overpriced take away food.Many get food poisoning, including myself.Hygiene rates are very low, your food is transported in cabs after being cooked to each site and then sits for hours.Food is kept all together in a disorganised way and in the open where you could literally step on it.Chefs re-use dirty dishes from day to day leaving black pieces in food in the small shacks.Staff DO NOT get service charge, don't pay it!!Pays employees unfairly on different rates. Staff are underpaid.Food is unauthentic and the owners have said they make it for white people who have never had Caribbean food. The boss is extremely rude and bullies his employees. Holistically, this business is a joke and Matin Miah is a FRAUD. Proceed at your own very high risk :)

The owner didn’t say anything to acknowledge he had accepted our order which I found extremely rude. The plantain was swimming in oil and all I could taste in the salt fish fritters was flour and scotch bonnet.

Received awesome service, the guy was very talkative, funny and gave an overall great experience. Food was very delicious, totally recommended to grab some curry goat!!

Rudie's Jerk Shack (Boxpark Shoreditch)

Boxpark is a cool spot, and Rudie’s is in a nice corner of it, with their own bar and lots of open plan seating. The prices might be a little on the high side, but sure you could say that about nearly everywhere around here, there’s a gift shop downstairs that has fridge magnets for £16! Anyway I digress, we had the jerked up lunch boxes, and while they were tasty, they were not nearly spicy enough. For me jerk has to hit you like a spicy flavour juggernaut and this was quite mild.
Top tip, ask them to spice it up for you, and not give you tourist jerk!!

An okay price for a decent portion of amazing food. I'm a bit torn about Rudie's - the flavour of everything was really good (though a little mild?) however there were lots of small chunks of bone left in the curry goat and the jerk chicken also had a tonne of gristle and broken bones. It's alright if you eat with your hands but if you're shovelling in mouthfuls on a fork you could easily be caught out especially with the goat.
The flavours were so good though - the fried dumplings were the best I've ever had and the goat was really well seasoned. I was expecting it to be much hotter though.
The customer service was just okay - not good or bad.

After a long journey on the tube and the DLR this place hit the spot. The jerk wrap was tasty. The curry goat seasoned perfectly. The jerk was cool as well.  I can't complain.

I had the "Jerk it up" box - marinated jerk chicken with molasses sauce, and fried plantain. Chicken was very well made, and sooo juicy. Plantain was the perfect accompaniment. Freshly made and delicious! Also had a small pot of the "nuff scotch" sauce (not pictured). It wasn't as hot as I thought it might be, but it lingered a bit!

Not complaints. Some of best jerk I’ve had. Jerk chicken sandwich was good. Tasty sauce. Spicy but not too spicy. Rice was kinda dry tbh though. But good service. Alcohol drink they had was very

Rudie's Jerk Shack (Brixton Village)

Expected quite more from this place but unfortunately it was just average. I got the jerk chicken platter, very fairly priced, but the chicken meat was pretty tough and it didn't taste that great. The "salad" it's served with is just chopped iceberg I think? The side of fries and the wings were good, but nothing special.

Some pros: The prices are really decent. Friendly staff too. It is quite small but it's nicely decorated.

It's not a bad place, but I don't think I'd come back.

The best place to experience true authentic Jamaican cuisines! We had the Chicken Jerk and steamed fish! Fantastic service accompanied by great music! What an experience! Highly recommend! Rum is a must too  🇯🇲 ONE LOVE

My daughter took me here for my Mother’s Day dinner (after a mani pedi). We were met by a nice young gentleman who seated us, Gabrielle, then looked after throughout by Tia. She was lovely. I loved the way she was true to herself and didn’t code switch because she was at work.

We had starters of ackee and Saltfish for one and chicken wings for the other. We chose the sweet glaze on the wings and it was divine. Starters were closely followed by a rum punch and my cocktail - Jamaica Nice, it definitely was.

Our main was shrimp rundown and I had curry goat and rice with a side of plantain. My portion was enough to take some home for a snack before bed.

The ambiance was great, the music just the right volume and I had a great time swinging to soul hits from back in the day. If you are looking for a sit down meal that’s not too formal I would highly recommend this place.

The food is excellent, with the service to match. Started with the rum punch (of course), definitely recommend, but also be sure to sample the rest of the cocktail menu. To eat, I had the Boston wings, Curry goat and the Rum cake. EVERYTHING tasted GOOD. Shout out to Dionne for being a great host.

Food was nice and there was a fair amount, the price is really good too. The only thing I have to say is that the plates we were given to eat out of was simply too small, literally like a saucer so it was difficult to cut food without it going all over the table. Think staff serving us could have been a bit more friendlier, one waitress never smiled once. Apart from that, not a bad place to visit if you're in the area

Ayannas London

We had an excellent evening. We went to celebrate Jamaican Independence, however what had been advertised for the event did not materialize and unfortunately the restaurant did not in itself display anything to outwardly celebrate  such an important occasion. However, that being said, I can say personally that the meal superceded any meal that I have ever had in a Caribbean restaurant, even without the pomp and ceremony.The presentation of every plate was superb. The staff, all of them were pleasant, engaging, just a real joy. Compliments to everyone that made the dining experience so memorable. Highly recommended

Caribbean fine dining freshly cooked food on the menu and good cocktails. Ok service and ambiance, sweet reggae music in the background. Grand piano played on Saturday's which will resume again for Valentine's.

If you drive parking is an issue limited spaces pay and display only. Double yellow lines and prohibited areas in operation. Engaging transport or use cab services would be a better choice.

We didn't book ahead but as we showed up early they let us in first. We really enjoyed the tasty food, friendly service, and Carribbean vibes. The foods presentation was excellent adding to it's visual appeal, and the rum punch was an amazing drink to accompany it all. There is no physical menu at the restaurant, either look it up online or scan the QR code.

If you're on the fence about visiting Ayannas, get off it. You'll walk into an intimate space reminiscent of my now 2nd favourite London restaurant: Sparrow. Ayannas takes the top spot from the quality of this focused menu to the well-balanced cocktails and overall presentation.

Flawless guest service, food, and drink. It was a quiet night - we were the first guests to arrive for dinner at 7pm - and the owner took this as an opportunity to get us checked in at a comfortable pace. She was even gracious enough to push back our booking time as we were having delays in transit.

We enjoyed the boneless curry goat and braised oxtail with rice & peas, alongside freshly made coleslaw and a rich mac & cheese. Very satisfying meal, both in terms of portion size and taste. We didn't have room for dessert but will definitely return to try the chocolate and rum cakes.

All in all, Ayannas menu is a true love letter to Jamaican cuisine - highly recommend.

Amazing food, the best cocktails in town. From the second we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a host who made us feel very welcome. Great atmosphere. 11 out of 10 service. They treat you like family when you walk through the door. Money well spent!

Cottons Camden

Loved this place :)

We booked the bottomless brunch (3 courses with either prosecco or rum punch). The staff were very friendly and happy to keep refilling our glasses. The food was delicious and it had a very chilled atmosphere, a great little place. I'd happily come back to try more food :)

Nice Carebbean place in Chalk Farm.
Went there to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday for brunch at 1 pm.
I chose the bottomless brunch option (prepaid through the website).
Delicious food.
The only negative thing probably was I went to early and the restaurant was quite empty so not much lively as I hoped for a birthday. Next time I will visit it in a different time of the day, dinner time maybe.

Small Caribbean restaurant in Camden. Very casual. The staff are all nice, welcoming and accommodating.

The food: the oxtail was tastyy....the jerk - needs more jerk though..... even though I can't tolerate spicy, I was able to have it and I think my other half was a bit disappointed as he was looking forward to the "kick".

The fried cake starters were tasty....more the prawns than the saltfish. The saltfish was a bit salty .... and overall both cakes had a bit too much flour. So Mr. Chef...heavy on the protein next time please.

All in all the atmosphere was very caribbean....the DJ on Friday 22nd was properly turnt! My friends and I enjoyed the little after party!

FYI: it lives up to the name "rum bar" .... 7/8 of the cocktail drinks have a rum ingredient! I am more of a light liquor girl and I was looking for Ciroc.....lol.....none. I eventually settled on Dissarono and sprite.

Will definitely go back and bring new friends with me.

Ps. Book a table to avoid disappointment!

Attended the brunch here, you have a choice of 3 options Rum Punch, Non-alcoholic Rum Punch and Processco (not allowed to mix) Rum Punch tasted very watered down.

The food was mediocre, very average. For starter I had the pumpkin and sweet potato fritters very nice.

Main I had the chicken tenders and pork Ribs dry.

Dessert Salted Caramel chocolate brownie, it was so small and I couldn't taste the Salted Caramel at all.

Our waitress was absolutely lovely throughout out stay, couldn't have asked for better.

I wouldn't not recommend this place for vegetarian/vegan for brunch.

Random discovery but such a great place! Staff were very accommodating despite a busy evening and the food was plain delicious! We ordered a few starters and sides to share, for the 3 of us. Would absolutely recommend the prawns and my friends would not stop talking about how tasty the ribs were. Squid was fine, and the cinnamon mini donuts were a great finish. Will try their other locations for sure!

Cottons

Cottons Shoreditch

Lovely atmosphere, great decor, and great music! Definitely appreciate the attention to details. Food was great too, portions were quite large; and the selection of cocktails is impressive! Only negative, they are not great at keeping track of reservations (I received an email after our dinner saying we didn't show up...).

This was hitting the spot! I loved the food and it was a decent sized plate of food!! The flavours were great and a little spicy but it felt that’s what was needed. The drink I went for a mock tail but would probably try cocktails next visit. Ill definitely be back next time!! It wasn’t so busy when we visited but it can get very busy so booking is recommended. Love decor and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious and absolutely worth the trip!

The food was flavorful and very well seasoned. The servers were kind and friendly, working as a team having taken our orders and bringing our food in a timely manner.

They serve proper Caribbean food: I would know being of Haitian descent. It was such a pleasant surprise and I really look forward to coming back upon my return to London.

Best part? Excellent prices. Great value for money.

This restaurant was wonderful. Excellent staff. We were seated properly and the Food was GREAT! I wish I had taken more photos as we ordered quite a bit. We do have plans to return. Recommended foods are their Mac and cheese, rice and peas including this salmon dish. Keep up the great work Cottons!!!

I’ve seen and heard mixed reviews about this particular branch but mainly good so I thought I’d give it a go.

My partner and I came here for dinner as it was local. We were greeted by a gentleman called Alex who to begin with was very friendly and attentive.

We ordered drinks (myself a bottle of wine) and lemonade and my partner ordered a cocktail, additionally we ordered starters (salt fish fritters and hot wings)

The drinks came out quite quickly as well as the starters which was good.

The salt fish fritters were mediocre. You basically get 3 small fishy balls of dough, they definitely were not authentic Caribbean salt fish fritters and overpriced for the size and lack of quality - do not recommend.

The hot wings were nice, cooked throughout, chicken was falling off the bone very tasty but again, overpriced. 3 wings for £7.

Drinks were great, my partner ordered The Killer Duppy in which it was so nice he ended up ordering 3/4.

My wine was ok. Ordered lemonade to add it as a spritzer and half way through my lemonade it was taken by a waiter, they didn’t even ask if I had finished it they just took it which I found weird.

Now onto the main course…

I ordered the curry mutton with rice and peas & coleslaw with a side dish of Mac & cheese.

The curried mutton was very unappealing to look at initially as it looked very runny but all in all, after eating it it was very delicious, the meat was tender, the rice and peas had gungopeas instead of red kidney which is what I prefer - overall very tasty. Coleslaw was nice and the Mac and cheese was very cheesy although I must say the portion size for the Mac and cheese is a joke. Even a baby would have a bigger portion size than that.

My partner ordered the jerk pork ribs and buttermilk chicken. Which included skin-on fries, Mac and cheese and jerk sauce.

In all honesty it didn’t look appealing in the slightest, his appetite completely went when the food came out, the chips tasted like they had been reheated, he took one bite into the buttermilk chicken strips or whatever they were and felt sick. The jerk sauce literally tasted shop bought, it’s like they just poured it out of a bottle and served it - not fresh at all. He didn’t even touch the ribs as his taste buds were so scarred from the dry buttermilk strips.

My partner could not finish his food due to the poor quality of his dish and I raised this to the waiter Alex and it was as though Alex went from being friendly to being annoyed within second. I said to Alex we’re not gonna pay for this food as he’s hardly touched it and Alex argued against it and said my partner had clearly touched it and that he’s only taking 50% off. It seemed as though he was more annoyed about losing money than the well-being of the customers. I didn’t argue against it and still paid half the price but took the service charge off which is something I never do.

After that, I felt as though Alex’s attitude had changed towards us, he went from being happy to stern, it definitely changed the atmosphere and made us feel uncomfortable. I even apologised to Alex and stated that I’m not meaning to be a pain but were gonna pay for something that’s hardly been touched and Alex just shrugged it off and carried on walking.

When we asked for an extra cocktail we waited longer than usual and I feel this is because of how annoyed Alex was. We then just decided to leave and asked Alex for the bill and he took forever to print off a simple piece of paper, taking his time to walk around and converse with people sitting right next to us knowing we were waiting.

Overall this gets 3/5 stars. My meal was ok. A bit overpriced for the portion sizes but the food tasted good. It was just the poor experience with how we were treated by Alex that’s left a poor taste in my mouth.

I must admit since getting home, I’ve felt quite sickly. Would we return? No.

I ordered curry goat during the lunchtime special hours for a bargain price of £8.95. I thought it was a bold move to not provide a knife in their to-go cutlery set, but it made sense once I opened the box because the goat meat was tender enough to pick apart with a plastic fork. The goat wasn’t very spicy, but was still well seasoned and tasted excellent. The mac n cheese surprised me because of how flavourful it was, and the rice & peas was great too. The service was quick, and the family running the restaurant are really sweet. It’s a large portion for the price. Highly recommended.

I should start with the good. The chicken was amazing I've never had jerk chicken done this way before so 👏🏾👏🏾. Now a few things  disappointed me and my guest. First the menu and prices had been changed(no notice was given on arrival). On the old menu that I saw on a review the jerk chicken meal came with some sides and was £8.95but when we orderd it £10.95 and as you can see in the pick just some  🥬,🥒 and 🍅. The food was warm but what disappointed the most was the attitude of the young waitress. The other staff were lovely but she needs to be trained on customer service!.  The aura she gave off was I don't want to be here, she was polite but did not have any warmth to her at all it was not welcoming. So disappointed won't be going back.

Very warm and welcoming place. Beautiful people and so friendly. The food was really tasty and the service was excellent. Not rushed just chilled, I will definitely be going back there with friends and family.... Remember I'm coming back for that ginger drink!

Went there a month ago. I must say dreadful food. Worst carribean food ever. Honestly don't understand why people are giving good ratings. The price seemed reasonable went in for jerk chicken Sunday special. Was told they didn't have vegetables. Fair enough but once they served the Sunday special they were missing mash, roast potatoes etc.They apologised and said they ran out of vegetables, mash and roast potatoes. I felt rude to decline the food as they've gone through the effort to plate the food. So I ordered chip's and prawns as extra. The prawns tastes fresh and delicious however I would of preferred without shells but that's my personal preference. Now for the main...total disappointment. The jerk chicken was dry and chewy, the mac and a cheese had no flavour. The chip's were also dry and hard. Upon paying the Bill we gave honest feedback about the chicken, Fair enough the manager said they would of not served the chicken like that; they don't usually serve the jerk chicken after 4pm as they cook it earlier. Yet they should of told us this before ordering the food. Would of expected a discount due to  missing vegetables, roast potatoes and mash on the special. Yet they didnt have the courtesy to offer a discount they charged full price even the chip's. The can of coke also cost £3 each. The manager gave the wrong amount of change he was short of 15p but my partner didn't seem to fuss about it but I found it rude atleast acknowledge it and apologise he would of said keep the change anyway. I see where they make they're money. On the other hand I like the waitress she seemed friendly. despite my partner bumping in to her using the gents toilet !

Lovely staff I was there at around 7.30pm yesterday evening. Wanting to get some Nice Curry Goat with Rice  salad, plantains as a taste of home for me old  Jamaican mum .The portions were large,the food was lovely. It did not dissapoint. The staff who took my  order were a lovely young couple. I will be back next month. Cheers Paul the big man in the blue shirt From Hainault/Chigwell👍🤘👌👏

Everything on our menu is vegan or halal.

Chicken Kitchen

First time visiting this place.
Had high expectations due to the hype on social media.

My order consisted of the fully loaded burger (jerked), Mac n Cheese and the Fruit Punch.

I highly advise to not get the mac n cheese as it’s cold and straight from the microwave.
The burger was dry and had no jerk chicken flavour.

I do recommend the fruit punch drink which was full of flavour.

💰£5.95 Fried Dumpling Jerk Burger (plantain extra £1.95)

💰£2.95 sweet potato chips

💰£2.95 Caribbean punch

Wow where to start guys after @centralcee gave it the 10/10 I had to get in there see what the hype is about and boy I wasn’t disappointed full of flavours and maybe first place to achieve a bun made out of fried dumpling wow what a bun a big turn from ur usual brioche bun and i gotta say this ones a heavy hitter once smothered with toppings and sauce 😋😋😋 the dough for the dumplings were perfect even the flavours in jerk chicken really authentic how you want jerk to taste with the plantain and sauces this ones a special one 🔥🔥🔥 the Caribbean punch is a sweeeettt one but really refreshing at the same time 🔥🔥🔥 they also do mains and other goodies my foodies so deffo check it out deffo a celebs fave spot!

Definitely one of the most overhyped places I've ever had. I ordered the dumpling chicken burger with jerk wings and fruit punch. I'm not a fan of the dumpling bread and the chicken/bread ratio was pretty bad. The chicken was half the size of the dumpling. The jerk wings were horrible, do not even bother. The only good thing was the fruit punch which was super sweet although it is quite pricey for a small bottle. Overall the food was below average and the prices are not worth it. Would not recommend to visit.

Absolutely Delicious BBQ Chicken is finger licking and the Rice and Peas Aaah what can I say 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋 Chicken Kitchen is 10/10

Great choise for fast food.
BBQ chicken grilled with jerk wrap was very filling and good combination with coleslaw.
Avokado would've been great extra for it but was sold out.
Recommend to test out. Thank you.

Jerky's

Lovely food, always a great stuff to eat, but service is a disappointment. Why advertise your open at 12pm then when I come at 13:24 your not even up, same thing with closing time. They lack of service deters customer who would otherwise stay with the business

Caribbean let down.

Confusing over complicated menu. Lady walked off before I finished my order, nothing was in stock, lady came back my order was still unresolved so she walked off again. Spent more time singing then talking.

I left and didn't order anything and went to the chicken and chip shop next door and got served with a smile.

Common courtesy and customer service skills costs nothing.

The customer service is none existent! But the food is ok, your rice was the best rice any Jamaican takeaway used but why have you changed it to this broken rice? It’s like bulgar wheat, PLEASE go back to the old rice you used

If I could give 0 stars I would. Ordered a curry goat and Mac and cheese and I got Mac and cheese and bone instead with a side helping of goat. Out of order! don’t order online also they won’t answer the phone. Poor service

The lady was rude, ignorant and arrogant. And the food was cold on the inside. The meat portion was also quite small.
Definitely will not go back.

Patty Palace Thornton Heath

I have tried many Jamaican take aways in London and Patty Palace is tied with one of the longest running for the top spot. The oxtail and jerk chicken never disappoints but the stand out here are their baked goods. The patty reminds me of home with each bite staying true to its roots. However while the patty is great the one thing no other restaurant even comes close to creating is the COCO BREAD (yes I had to shout...it is that good) this soft buttery bread is the perfect acompanyment to a patty or loaded with chicken and vegetables. If you have never tried a meal from patty Palace  you need to.

If I could give 10 stars I would

Patty crunchy on the outside, meaty inside. Food is delicious. No faults. 15% off for NHS staff.

I used JUST Eat website to order from Patty Palace and everytime I'm  ordering which was 3 times so far are they never had any patties available. It always says item unavailable so I have to order something else. The food is great delivery is really fast but I'm giving it 2 stars because often what they say is on the menu is not available. Maybe the restaurant can look at that to make it better for customers. Thank you

Annoying because their patties are always ‘sold out’ then when I do manage to order when they have patties available they never ever send the correct amount I ordered. Their patties are so nice but it’s such a let down that they rarely have it in stock. MAJOR DISSAPOINTMENT.

These patties were terrible and everything tasted like old fish oil

Patty Palace

Jerk Off BBQ

This spot knows how to please their customers. Always with a kind mindset. The food is conveniently priced, regularly yummy and clean.

I accidentally found this delicious spot in Depford during the time of visiting Depford X festival Event. It was super hot yesterday and thanks for the amazing food I felt completely alive. The Jerk Chicken Box is amazing!! Will definitely come back again.

I told my friends about this place with my highest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are yummy and the stuff is very friendly and cooperative. always when we visit this place we pass a lovely evening.  highly recommended.

Great Jerk food, vegan options (Channa box), and the nicest service! The Deptford venue is really nice also and can get drinks from neighbouring stall. Top covid-safe evening out when we're allowed!

Delicious food, generous portions and lovely service! Cool little place to hang out too.

Grill Shack & Tiki Bar London

Very friendly owner. Mostly Haitian (Creole) menu and all food is on point. Good sized portions and value for money. A good drink menu with cocktail selection. Also broad range of rums at the bar. The venue is small with a rear dining area in addition to the main area around the bar as you enter. Beautifully decorated with a Tiki/Caribbean theme. They can accommodate private hire for a fee and will accommodate a DJ with their own sound system, or the venue can provide one. However times to play loud music is limited because there are residents living close by. The only downside was the toilet set up which is unisex. You walk through one main door with a lock, there is a urinal for gents as you enter then walk ahead there is a single toilet cubicle on the right, but without a door. There is one single hand basin with mirror, again for unisex usage. The space literally should accommodate one person at a time unless you know anyone well! So this creates a queue outside the door which filters to the space where diners are seated at the rear. Overall a pleasing visit and would definitely return.

I spent a portion of my life in Miami so I'm not unaware of Haitian food but I'm certainly not well versed enough in it to judge this menu. But I can certainly hold the opinion that this is simply excellent food. A simple menu, a relatively small but representative rum selection, all at humble prices. We've lived in Acton for nearly a decade and I did not know this little gem was hidden away. It's not a secret anymore and you will likely have trouble finding a table. But if you do you are in for an excellent evening. Good food by good people, there is little more to ask for in life.

Top tier restaurant. I came for the Haitian food and was very impressed by the authenticity. Everything was very flavorful and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance was nice, prices were fair and the service was really pleasant. Will return whenever I’m in London.

Excellent tasty food, staff very friendly and accommodating.  It got a bit crowded  later in the evening which indicated to me it's a popular place to eat.  Would definitely go back because I like tasty food 👍

The food used to be amazing but tonight was honestly the worst and it was my birthday. The service was way too slow. The restaurant was packed and only had 1 waitress. Our starters took 45 mins and some mains came out before my other guests starters. Also the sea bass I ordered was half a fish. Not even the whole sea bass or even a fillet. The portion was super small compared to 2 months ago when I last visited. So unimpressed with this I definitely will not be returning here again. Just ruined my birthday completely.

Karibbean Kitchen

Walked by and was literally was thinking about curry goat during my entire yoga class. The owner let me have it in even though it was 10 mins to closing! Such amazing food, the curry goat was great and the coleslaw was literally the best I’ve ever had. I didn’t even know coleslaw could be that tasty!? Came with a free drink as well so thanks so much 😍

I just finished to eat my carry goat and fried dumpling... I have to say this is the first Caribbean place that I have been served with smile and good vibes... Generous portion and not all filled with rise as most of the restourant do, but lots of meat as well... Test beautiful... I will definitely come back.

Really good service. Not rude and unfriendly, like what the other carribean restaurants can be like at times. Good value too

I found this little gem by chance as I was working in the area. Delicious Caribbean food at a fair price, and a lovely friendly lady serving at the till.... What more could you ask for? It was my first visit but definitely not my last. I ordered the curry goat with rice and peas and it was made to perfection. Well done Karibbean Kitchen, keep up the great work 👌🏽

My lamb neck soup was absolutely delicious. The service was on point and the staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend!!!

Palm Bay Caribbean

This place is absolutely amazing,  their food is out of this world. Once you try it you'll always go back, it's that good 👍 keep up the delicious work. Truly Appreciate your establishment 🙏

Been going here regularly for around 3 years now and have to say the food is very very consistent.

Jerk is always on point, brown stew chicken and curry goat always cooked to perfection.

Great portions and price for the amount of food.

Real authentic flavours.

Rum punch is always a hit also

I’ve always been a fan of Jamaican food really takes me back to my youth. The server I had was short and had brown hair brought my food really quickly and made me feel really good. The smoke in the jerk chicken was absolutely to die for and I can’t begin to fathom the tenderness of the chicken. The rice and beans really cleansed the pallet and just made me feel like I was home again.

Waited 15 minutes to have my order taken and during that time someone had there order taken before me. Knew from there it was going to go down hill. 40 minutes, at least, for my food to arrive when 3 other people who arrived before me (not counting people coming in to order take away) had there orders served long before. They obviously somehow misplaced our order, which I appreciate things go wrong sometimes, but we repeatedly asked and I'm baffled how the waitress can comfortably serve other people without chasing up on our order or keeping us updated.

When the food did arrive, the majority of it was missing. Only 1 of the 5 sides arrived. Also, we asked for Mayonnaise and got a small serving and told that's all they got because they ran out. There is literally a shop next door. Surely basic service, and need to stock up, would mean you simply go next door and buy another bottle or two?

Scoring 2 because of the service. The food was also luke warm, meat tough, chips overdone and not salted. Not scoring lower because I'm hoping it was just a bad day at the office.

Brilliant! The food is very tasty and filling, and they provide great customer service. I am glad to travel far to experience this great cuisine and decor. There is a reason why everyone speaks so highly of this restaurant. I recommend this place to everyone.

One Love Kitchen

Amazing food. I’ve been everyday since the first day I’ve gone there. The manager Tyrone was the most friendly, helpful and genuinely happy person I’ve met in a long time. His passion for the food and the restaurant is next to none.
Ms Lyn, Mr. Garnet, Ms. Dian and Ms. Jullette I can’t express enough how great your food is. Keep doing exactly what your doing and I’ll be back everyday from now on 10/10

I experienced really slow service despite being the only customer's in the restaurant. Judging by the amount of delivery drivers/riders coming and going while we waited for our food I put this down to them bring extremely busy with home delivery orders.

However, if you're willing to wait, the food is GREAT!
Vegan Plater is very nice!

Tip: if you are getting a large order double check everything has been packed

Don’t normally write reviews but I thought I would give you a review as the food came quick and was still hot. Amazing and tasty stew chicken rice and peas with steamed veg

One of best Caribbean takeaways I've had in all my life in London. Delicious jerk & brownstew chicken....rice n peas done perfectly, arrived piping hot.

one of the best jerk chickens i've had - the sauce is to die for!

we are in but feels more like a takeaway spot - popular takeaway spot seems like

friendly service tho!

Everything is Halal. We are served by Halal butchers.

Roti Kitchen - Caribbean Restaurant - Halal

Well worth a visit, first time my husband and I purchasing food here, (we are from the Midlands, Notts) David is a really sound! Owner. Beautiful flavoured foods, tasty and good reasonably priced food. A wide range of foods available on menu. Thoroughly recommend! Can’t wait to return when next in town! :-) Thanks Roti kitchen :-)

Great tasting food that is very filling. My favourite is the buroti which is great meal when you are out and about. 👍

David catered a self service buffet for my daughters 25th. I tried to pretend I made the food but it was too nice for me to pull off that fib :) so much tasty food at an affordable price.

Wonderful catering with the vegetarian burroti wrap during my film shoot. Thank you so much! Great restaurant and would definitely order again 

Really nice jerk chicken taste fresh juicy not dry  jerk sauce very tasty would recommend
Back soon for more

All meat and poultry on our menu is Halal.

I order some meal from the this restaurant for my elderly West Indian parents who fancy this cuisine. Overall delivery was fast and the meal were delicious and prepared very well. I would buy again and recommend.

Had goat curry and jerk chicken there this afternoon. Both were excellent. Would definitely recommend. Staff very pleasant as well.

YES, YES, YES, YES... When even the scotch bonnet pepper sauce is that authentic - YOU KNOW the food CANNOT disappoint. These guys are NOT messin' about. All day Every Day - Yes! Sweetness for days!

If you are looking for some great food which is different from the normal usual food then you must try rhythm kitchen the  service is brilliant and the portion size is perfect 👌 well done westfield for understanding the needs of local people.

Ordered food here and they said it would be 10 minutes we waited 20 and was told a further 5 minutes waited for 5 and asked again told another 5 waited again to be told 5 more minutes a 3rd time meaning we waited 35 minutes in total. We ordered 2 meals and as compensation they offered 1 free drink, when we asked for a refund they wasn’t willing to give us a refund even though we had lost our appetite through waiting. The manager finally gave us a refund after waiting for 45 minutes and being very rude and inconsiderate, wouldn’t recommend, wait till you go home and support your local Caribbean restaurant if shopping at Westfield

Rhythm Kitchen

Rhythm Kitchen E17

The food, ambience and service was so uplifting. We ordered the oxtail and dumplings, plantain and salt fish fritters, and our kind waiter recommended we have more chips too! Thank goodness she did as the food was so flavourful and moreish. It was like a hug! Another lovely surprise was that we won a raffle and got a free t shirt and silky head scarf! Regardless of whether you win the raffle, the experience was a true winner.

Food was good, nice selection of rum. Good place to have an evening meal. The reason for 4 star, the waiting.

Have been a few times now and the food is of great quality and is equally delicious. Also the staff have always been so attentive and amazing! Would highly recommend

Gorgeous food.... I had the vegan kidney bean and dumpling stew...  so yummy. Lovely service

Amazing food put it this way as soon as i ate i wanted to sleep. Food was wrapped accordingly for delivery and even my mango cocktail was delicious. Best Caribbean in Walthamstow.

All meat products from our E17 restaurant is Halal.

Cocos Bar & Kitchen

Had a great time at Coco’s last night with my cousin. We travelled from North London and it was well worth the journey! Lovely little venue, with a great vibe. We ordered the steak and chips, which was beautifully presented, tasted delicious and very filling.
The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive, and the chef even came to check everything was ok and have a friendly little chat. I would definitively come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me😊

Food was delicious with excellent presentation. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Overall very enjoyable experience, but having said that, was quite pricy. Would  definitely recommend !  :)

If travelling by tube, turn left towards the Oval when leaving the station or go right towards Kennington & you'll find Cocos half way between the two.. fine service, fab food, good sit outside facilities...However, they would attract more customers & tips if they did not charge 12.5 for service. Most people would leave more than 12.5.

In full honesty I never really ate "at" the restaurant, but thanks to a take away app, I ordered a couple of meals, and Lordy, I was glad I did, tried their rice,their  beef and chicken and a scrumptious sponge cake in custard, but what stayed in mind are those chunks of heaven that is the caramelized plantain, have them and undoubtedly you will question yourself on what good deeds you did to deserved them. When i went to collect the food the place looks very modern and the open view kitchen is visually appealing, staff is friendly and polite. An extra reason to try their delights "on site"!!!!

I only gave a 4 because the place is small  lovely service cocktails could do with a little more alcohol in them and the food was nice

All Meats & Poultry supplied from COCOS  is prepared by our Halal certified butchers.

Jerk Munchies

I had the jerk chicken rice and peas with a side of coleslaw and one taste honestly felt like heaven in my mouth. The takeaway box/presentation is nice and doesn’t allow your food to leak like other takeaway spots. Overall a very satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. 👍🏾

Ordered and waited an hour before being told my order was cancelled

Update: I gave the restaurant another chance and have since ordered 2 more times! Both times the food arrived on time and was great!
Would have 5 stars if it wasn't for the initial experience.

Nice food, friendly staff and service.. The shop itself is very small, only one person at a time can place an order.

No cap this is one of the best Caribbean spot. Amazing flavour

Rustic wooden cafe serving Eclectic Latin and Caribbean dishes

"Sticky licky BBQ Beef short Ribs" / £15 from @guanabana_restaurant a fully halal restaurant in Camden .

Soft and tender BBQ Beef ribs that feel off the bone with minimal effort. The flavour was a little mild and subtle. There's not many places that do short ribs, there's Beef and Birds, Meat Co and Meat and Shake, do you know any other places? Please comment below so I can review them. .

All food is halal, no alcohol is served however customers are allowed to bring their own alcohol, which personally I find more obvious and off putting than restaurants that serve alcohol, because customers bring in loads of beer cans and wine bottles. .

I visited on Friday night, it was very busy, I was also given a few other menu items to try like the gravy train burger and the ox tail curry.. However I didn't really like the food. Really lacked flavour and authentic spice. My meal was complimentary.

@halalfoodguy's review of Guanabana Camden on Instagram

@guanabana_restaurant The Island Roast was a nice alternative to a standard Sunday Roast, the meat was a little chewy but had subtle kicks of flavour. The vegetables were definitely the highlight, super crispy and charred. However the gravy was slightly watery for our liking.

The jerk chicken would have been nice with more sauce as it was slightly dry, but we enjoyed the smokey flavour and the Mac & Cheese was perfect, super cheesy and creamy. 

Food: 7/10
Value: 7/10
Atmosphere: 6.5/10

@cravinghalal's review of Guanabana Camden on Instagram

Guanabana Restaurant

Food is lovely. Shame they only did limited takeaway order and I travelled quite far to collect the food. Also they don't seem to pick up their phones as I've been calling them for three days. Eventually I travelled to the restaurant ordered food at their counter and took it back with me. But it was worth the journey!

Food is decent, portion size is good nothing special. Price wise very expensive for the food quality and quantity. I would not recommend the nachos unless you like mince in floating oil. Would i recommend? NO. I really wanted to recommend too as it was good place but price and quality wasn't comparable. Very nice hosts

Amazing. The food was good all round from start to finish. Surroundings was very nice so felt comfortable eating here. I would definitely recommend the steaks here along with a nice chilling mojito drink. The staff are very welcoming and polite. Will be coming here again to enjoy this food.

We only went in there because Bin Tang was too busy.

Service was great.

All dishes were recommended to us by waiter, and we wasn't disappointed.

Jerk chicken with the white sauce is peng!! Highly recommend even if you don't like garlic. ;) Lovely staff who gave me a treat after finding out it was my birthday. So pleased! Thank you, moimoi. 😊😊😊😊

Moi Moi Island

Amazing food, tasted great like home made cooking. They forgot to add the meat in my dish (apparently it was a hectic day, no worries) but still it was great.

Whoever pass by should try it!!!! Had oxtail bowl, oxtail was perfectly tendered even the bone were enjoyable. Fried plantain was new to me, three is totally not enough!!! And I seldom have rice but this time I finished all they tasted so different with gravy. But I do think I should ask for more salad instead of rice.. anyway definitely will come back!!

Been here a few times loving the food, but attitude? 

I understand you don't do phone orders but me telling you my circumstance you don't want to serve me, over the phone as I'm stuck in the car opposite the road, driven over 2 miles to get takeaway ,  you have now lost my business. Good going

A great experience. The sandwiches had the right level of sauce and flavour. Perfectly wrapped and toasted. Had a kick to it that I didn’t even need to add hot sauce. The fries came with diced onions and two sorts of dips. The wings were nice and spicy too. The oxtail stew was good, salad dressing as well. Malt drinks were really good also, not the usual supermalt harshness. The customer service was great, very helpful and cheery staff. Jollof rice was great also, very important! Importantly halal as well.

Disappointed to find that this takeaway will not substitute one item on a fixed plate for a double amount of another but that they are happy to charge you the same price for a fixed plate with one item missing and not replacing it with another. Didn't consider that good customer service. I declined the service👎.

Cottons Notting Hill

Absoulty amazing. The staff were wonderful. The food was delicious, but the cocktails were better. I would go back again and again. LOVED IT

Had a great time here on Wednesday. We were warmly greeted even though we arrived 30 minutes early. The manager was so lovely, service with a smile and attended to all our needs. The food was authentic and represented the different caribbean islands. Beautiful.

The service here was wonderful and fast. The food was super delicious! And the atmosphere will surely put you in a good mood. I will definitely be back!!

Really enjoyed my meal here, had the salmon with mashed potatoes and it was amazing! Wasn’t a fan of the calamari but everything else was great. Also had the rum punch, which is also a must have.

Went for bottomless brunch on a Sunday and it was very good. The drinks (rum punch and prosecco) were frequently refilled without having to request it. The food was also good although it would be great if there was more than just the one meal included. Otherwise, a good experience.

Cottons Vauxhall

The cocktails here are amazing!

I visited Cottons with a group of girls and had an amazing time. The food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing.

We initial booked to sit inside but it was such a lovely evening we asked if we could sit outside, which was accommodated with ease.

The only reason I knocked one star off is that service was initially slow. No body told us that we had to use our phones to download the menu. Consequently when we were asked if we were ready to order we were a bit miffed. Once we got our drinks, food came soon after and we continued to enjoy our evening.

I'd happily recommend this restaurant and look forwards to returning.

I ordered the jerk platter for two (£29.99). Don’t get me wrong the food was tasty but it didn’t have that authentic jerk flavour that I as a Jamaican know and love the sauce tasted a lot like chutney to me but like I say the food was lovely just not authentic. I felt that even though it stated it was for two the portion of rice was very small. They plantain wow that was cooked to perfection loved em 🤤  The biggest let down was the lack of food options for children. There wasn’t even any options for them on the menu. We only knew they did burgers and chips because we saw another table with children had them. But when they came it was really bad. A dry thin piece of what looked like frozen breaded chicken breast with brunt edges. Both my sons didn’t eat them. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I didn’t use the bathroom but the restaurant itself was clean. Love the decor reminds me of being on the beach.

My husband and I stumbled on this restaurant by accident. Was very pleased about this too. Food was very tasty. Service was slow to start but once food was ordered came in good time with apologies for having to wait. Standard of food far outweighed any problem re waiting times but what do you expect on a busy Saturday evening. I would recommend and would  definitely come back next time we visit London

We ordered a salad and had a whole bite of mud when we nearly finish it. The mud sticked on my teeth, took me a long time to clean them. When we try to tell the manager (maybe?) about this, funny thing happened. He refused to accept this could happen in this restaurant, because some how they have five star standard kitchen to clean every salad. If that’s true, I deeply hope other customers won’t have similar experience like me.

Such a nice first experience visiting Cottons, there’s a few of them so this experience has definitely enticed me to try more of them
Out.

The staff here are all super friendly from entrance to finish. they created such an inviting atmosphere and provided great service throughout also.

Had the sharing starter, fried Plantain and some fries. Didn’t come on an empty stomach unfortunately which was a regret as all the food they offered sounds so tasty!

Cocktails looked pretty neat but I was boring and stuck to draft Camden pale. Plenty of choice on draft.

Facilities were very clean and well kept. Floor space in the restaurant is very spacious so no squeezing around and tables are well spaced out

Boxpark Wembley - Mama Jacq's

Very nice food. Their seasoned chips are the best chips in the Boxpark. Service is usually good but the odd time can be a bit lacking depending on who you get. But, I would recommend giving it a go!

Good food. Seasoning and really enjoyed this new cousin to my food pallete.

Really cool people behind the kitchen too

Always amazing tasting food. Love the Chickpea & potato Curry, the Salmon, the mac & cheese, the plantain... I could go on. Brilliant food and excellent service. Thank you.

I absolutely love the food and support this family run spot gives. Whenever I'm local and find myself hungry, this is where I find myself first.

Freshly made, flavorful food that warms the soul. You'll find yourself lost in the moment of great tastes... pop by, place an order and enjoy!

I came here today with a friend. I know that I speak on behalf of both of us when I say the food was absolutely AMAZING!!! It was really interesting speaking to the one of the owners and hearing the passion and inspiration behind their food. I wish them all the best with their journey and can’t wait to hear about an expansion. Well done !!! Keep up the good work 😃

All of our meat is sourced from halal suppliers. They include our mutton, goat, chicken and beef.

Mama Jacq's

Tried this place for the first time . I must say how delicious the food is . The meat was cooked very well and was not dry , it was very succulent . The flavours of the meat were intense and lip smacking! The lamb chops was the best for me. Tender and just right.  The churros were divine , couldn't get enough . Can food really taste that good ?   You have to try out this place . You won't be disappointed .
Thank you to the slice of meat for making it a wonderful meal 😋

Amazing, delicious food. We tried the wagyu steak, the ribs and the meat grill box with calamari and prawns as starters. Everything was cooked to perfection and Tasted delicious. We drove an hour to get here and it was well worth the trip. Steak was honestly one of the best I've had, the flavour and seasoning they use is unique.

So far in my life this is the best takeaway in the whole world. The delicate and tastiness of the food was so delicious i went there again and i could not leave my seat. Trust me you need to taste this amazing food.

The Best Steak Ever! Literally mouthwatering Mojitos and Churros! Good Food & Good Company are two of the life’s simplest yet greatest Pleasures!! You need to Try the delicious Slice Of Meat! ❤️

Amazing, proper quality carribean food. Everything was perfect

Lulu's Caribbean Cuisine

I take my family to this lovely spot often! This is my favorite place to pass a nice evening.  I go there at least once a month. The meals are just great, the workers are courteous and the payment is decent. I like eating in this restaurant for a rich lunch.

Ate here for the first time. I had the stew fish roti. The sides served with this were emotional.... the coconut side O M G. Will definitely be back here to eat. My only complaint was it was extremely cold, and the door was closed. So maybe put the heating a notch up. I’m coming back to try the homemade sorrel

All our food is Halal. However we do sell alcohol on site.
