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!

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.

Rice and peas, plain rice, stued chicken, curried goat, salt fish and ackee and there wicked festivals, which are like a fried dumpling but sweet. The flavours that come out of the Caribbean, they seem to have got it spot on. Still miss mums cooking, but this can work. The staff are very friendly, so that always helps. I would have loved for them to have made and served some Caribbean drinks. Punches such as pineapple punch or peanut punch. I could go on for ages, but I can't spell em so I won't. On a level though, the food is great. At first I was a bit dubious because of the clean factor that go with these road food vans. Take my word, they are clean clean clean. They let me go up in the van and have a look, which I thought was wicked. Just showed that they had nothing to hide where cleanliness is concerned. If your looking for something quick and different on the move. Then this is it‼

Will be top of my list of local recommendations, take aways and home catering (have added their number to my mobile, was so fantastic). The depth of flavour of their lovingly-prepared jerk chicken, goat curry and fish curry (unlike you have ever tasted before - seriously moreish!) will seriously surprise newcomers. The sypmphony of flavours of the fish with chilli and scotch bonnet pepper sauce was SoooOOooo unique, asked to buy a batch of the sauce to take home!!! They really ought to bottle that sauce! 5 stars as a new local restaurant with the courage to try a new concept. Keep up the outstanding efforts!!! It was highly recommended to us through word of mouth. Absolutely worth a meal here!!!! It will be unlike anything you have experienced for quite some time. African passion on a plate.

You must try their jollof rice and jerk chicken! What really surprised us was the value for money.

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!
