Trinidadian Takeaway of Exceptional Quality - My Fave Carib Take Out In London - Trini & Tobago…read more'Caribbean' Food Rules! If you are used to the ubiquitous Caribbean Jerk Chicken and have not yet tried Trini food, go on be adventurous widen your culinary palette and get yourself down to Roti Jouper, you will not be disappointed! To describe Roti Jouper merely as a Caribbean Takeaway is so missing something that distinguishes this and The Shepherd's Bush take-out from all the other Carib Takeaways. What makes this place so special? It is an authentic Trinidadian Takeaway, the creations from this beautiful island are distinctly different from the rest of the Caribbean. That this place is always busy speaks volumes, having previously visited Trinidad & Tobago I can vouch that the delicious wide ranging menu is 100% authentic. The cheerful staff who work here from these islands serve you with a smile and help to create a 'buzz.' On the menu there is far more to explore than just the overhead displays, check out the mouth watering Mac Cheese cakes and bread. Also so much from the menu you can freeze, so well worth the effort to stock up if you have some distance to travel. Roti Jouper was actually discovered quite by accident, and one very positive outcome after my dear friend from Trinidad had been robbed of a purse ( eventually returned intact minus all the cash bar £1 ) seeking solace at a café outside Archway Tube Station, we struck up conversation after picking up a Trini accent, 'if you want authentic Trini food, do get yourselves down to Roti Jouper in Clapham and mention that Raij Paul Barrackpoor sent you' Within five minutes we were on our way, just round the corner from Clapham North on the Northern Line, or Clapham High St on the Overground, and wow we were soon transported back to Trinidad. Ordered a massive takeout, which my dear friend took back to her flat in Portslade Brighton. On 16th October I popped back for another order so heavy that the canvas bag came apart at the seams, this will soon be on its way with me back to Brighton, and thanks for the very generous 'extras.'

I am admittingly a Trini food novice so I'm rating this place based on my tastebuds. The food is…read moredelicious. I got the doubles and whilst I was surprised the filling had the texture of refried beans (rather than the whole chickpeas I had at a roti place in Stokie), it was delicious and a bit spicy. I could have devoured two of them! I also got the shrimp roti with all four of the veg fillings option. However, opening it at home, it was heavy on the chickpeas and spinach but I didn't detect pumpkin. Oh well! It still tasted fantastic (and is not as spicy as the doubles). For a total of £6.50 I had two dinners. Score. I am deducting a star bc it's cash only. C'mon guys, it's 2017, get with the program!

Sit down in the empty dining room. Wait 5min to be told (despite no other client) "we've run out of menus". So come to the desk to see what they have (and don't - like goat). Interestingly, they have a Guiness based cocktail which tastes like eggnog with more nutmeg and malt. The food: We had brown chicken stew. Nice. Nicely marinated. Presented with a cold salad. Salad is good but I am not a fan of hot and cold sitting side by side. Had fried plantain. Also v nice. Not a bad place but not one you feel like returning.

The manager was very polite . Now finally they have a bar ( I always wanted a nice cocktail with my meal). I am even thinking to do my birthday party there. As I understood they are starting to do also Breakfast ,so I will try ... Hope to not be disappointed as I wasn't until this moment. I highly recommend. Try it and you will not regret it.

But why dont we sell curry goat patties in NYC ?? I really cant complain much about this place …read more The cashier was nicer than alot of others in different places like Rum kitchen or duo , we didn't wait forever for our food and those patties were so. Damn. Good . Go there , get the curry goat patty, skip the ting (soft drink) it tastes nothing like the ones in the states or even the Caribbean.

I stopped in while perusing Covent Garden, and I'm glad I did…read more Excellent flaky, flavorful patties (Jamaican empanadas). I bought spicy beef and jerk chicken. Both meats were seasoned to perfection. The spicy beef had the perfect amount of spice--not too spicy. The crust is very flaky, so you'll have a lap full of crumbs once you're finished. I ate the spicy beef outside the shop, and I'm munching on the jerk chicken patty as I type out this review. I haven't tried the banana bread I bought, but I'm sure it'll be good. For two large patties, banana bread, and a bottle of water, I paid just a little over 11£. Yummy!

It's more of a takeaway spot, but plenty of sitting areas are next to the venue.

They also have the assortment of patties from lamb to shrimp. It's also situated in an area with a food court and swap meet like experience.

A friend who used to live in SB told me that the best jerk chicken in London is at Ochi. So a…read morecolleague and I went here and we were floored by how good the food was. I haven't had jerk chicken in London before but I'm doubtful anything can beat this place, and the price. The place itself is very small and there's only two small tables if you don't want to do takeaway. The decor is awesome... lots of pictures of Caribbean celebrities cover all the walls and even the menu sign. We ordered the large jerk chicken plate to share. It came with Caribbean fried rice with beans and one plantain. Would have been better if there were more plantains because it was absolutely delicious. The fried rice was amazing with the soft, tender, well-grilled chicken. The two sauces the dish came with was spicy so if you can't eat spicy don't get the sauce. Will definitely come back (worried I might come back too often) because we each paid 4 pounds each, so 8 total. Insane for London standards.

I am so lucky this place was just 2 seconds away from my former home. From the day we moved in,…read moreour landlord said 'you must try Ochi, it is the best' it took me a while before we actually tried it but then it became an often acquisition. It is home made Caribbean food which for me translates into latin american home made food. Huge factor of why it became so popular in my house. Very much like the Caribbean, this small take away is an island in itself, always frequented by Caribbean nationals and other non nationals alike. Their jerk Chicken is divine and it is served with cassava, rice and black beans. Take a banana cake also to complement the perfect meal, all for under a tenner. If you are on the run try the patties, veggie, chicken, beef or fish they are all lovely at £1 each. At one point they used to have all their walls covered with Caribbean artists and even Jamelia and Usher's autographs dedicated to their food, but they took them down. A good move if you ask me, they don't need celebrity endorsement, the food speaks for itself, oh! How I miss it!

Just left this place and what a truly and utterly disappointing meal I just had…read more I should've known it was going to go south when I saw Ting in a can... Let's start with the good - the salad dressing was delish,the rice and gungo peas had a good base with the coconut coming thru and the homemade ginger beer/lemonade was good. Everything else was just bad - I mean REALLY bad. Roti skin - bland Curry goat - no flavor, no spice and HOW do you manage to have watery gravy with potatoes in the pot?!?! Ugh! Curry chicken - just as bland, flavorless and again watery gravy with potatoes in the pot. To top it all off, it ended up being approx. $75USD. THIS CANNOT BE LIFE! Whomever was in the kitchen needs to return to yard for lessons because this was HORRIBLE. I'm overly disappointed as I was truly looking forward to this meal the most out of all of the foods I planned to enjoy during my London trip and this was the most disappointing. That's All...
