Food came out hot, generous portions, and just perfect. The inside is lit like a late night spot but it was still great for a family dinner. We could hear ourselves even with the music, and they sat five of us at a table. The owner was really great too as was the cook/chef. The meat was cut in small portions that sometimes it wasn't obvious if it was meat or amala. After dining here, we ordered delivery from here (jollof, etc) and it was also delicious. Will eat here again when in London.

It's more of a takeaway spot, but plenty of sitting areas are next to the venue. The food was excellent and you are given these Tupperware like containers that allowed you to carry and store anything leftover from your meal. 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.

The vegetarian meal of the day is freshly made daily and marked on a blackboard in the restaurant. Foods I like here: Curries: Jerk Chicken, Mutton - usually served with your choice of salad, or rice or chips (aka fries). About 8 quid. Patties: I like their chicken, lamb and vegetable patties they are usually served with chips- 4 quid Burgers: Jerk Chicken (very flavourful), the bean burge ris pretty decent too as is the "Maryland" which is a chiken burger, however I really like the "new Zealander" which is a lamb burger and the mint mayo sauce is delish! All usually servued with salad or chips - 6 quid Dessert : their banana and carrot cake is pretty good, sometimes i like it with warm custard and sometimes with ice cream. -3 quid They also have a kid meal - chicken nuggets , burgers. The ambience is .. well eclectic in my opinion. Good food with good service.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much was put on my plate and probably more horrified at the amount i managed to devour...the rice was so good. The menu has a range of traditional west indies dishes, most of which i would stay well clear of, fried chicken feet, no thanks. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you're anything like me and crave jerk chicken then i recommend trying it if you live in the area.
