I am not one to leave reviews but... don't walk, run to this restaurant. The food there is AMAZING!…read moreGenuinely the best I I've tasted and I've tasted a lot. People!! the juiciest oxtail, you will be shamelessly sucking the bone to get that rest of the flavour, the rice and peas tastes so good you could eat it on its own (this is ). The chicken wings... the fried dumplings oh my days. I start dancing everytime!!

Finally a Caribbean restaurant in Chadwell Heath - well - past Ilford full stop is impressive! It's…read morebeen open for a little under a year now and I only had the pleasure of trying it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I like the food so much in the last month I've had takeaway twice, eaten in once and recommended them to cater for a friends party! The food is amazing. Sharona is very friendly and the atmosphere is what you might expect for a Caribbean takeaway location. Yes you might have the good old banter of "have you got - - - -?" "no", "have you got - - - -?" "no" etc. but that's a standard character of West Indian food places, isn't it? Once you do get fed you will be feasting on beautiful stew chicken, flavoursome ackee and saltfish, heavenly escovitch fish, wholesome callaloo and more. When you're done - wash it down with a nice glass of Guinness Punch. Beautiful.

Been on the hunt for Jamaican food since we moved to London; it's not enough to get it once a year…read moreat family parties or carnival! Used Yelp to search for carribean places and found this gem :-) Authentic Jamaican home cooked food; great taste and warm friendly smile and service. There was an inside and outside seating area; but we didn't stay as we took the food to go; but there were quite a few people sitting and they all complimented the food when they came in to pay. Sunday's they do a buffet from 1pm, so we will def be back to try that. Seems u need to get there quick tho, cause when we got there at 5pm it was all gone and cleared up already :-)

Husband and his father had jerk chicken and both loved it. The owner and chefs were pretty talkative and friendly and kept offering us different rums haha. Very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Only bad thing was that the young waitress took my plate away when I was taking a break from eating. I was pretty mad about it. It was delicious and she stole my food.

I make it a point to hit up a Jamaican restaurant wherever I go, be it the US or international and I do not lie when I say the rice and peas is the best I have ever had--a veritable flavor explosion in your mouth and the texture is so delicate. A wonderful culinary experience!

A Caribbean restaurant that specialises in Jerk chicken and pork. Honestly, the food here is…read moreamazing, fresh and authentic. There are a lot of Caribbean takeaways out there, most offering a wide range of food including jerk chicken but this place is a step above the rest because they actually Jerk the meat over a coal fire. Their menu is simple but tasty, offering a range of accompaniments to your meal like rice & peas, sweet potato chips, and festivals. Their coleslaw is also delicious - I had to order an extra portion! It's a family run establishment and the staff are super friendly. The restaurant are currently applying for their liquor license so they don't sell alcohol at the moment but they are quite happy for you to bring your own booze to enjoy with your meal. So, if your in the South London-Sydenham area I would definitely recommend you try this place out!
