Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mainly for the Caribbean cooking, and the jerk chicken and curried mutton are named most often, with the jerk chicken described as having the right amount of heat and the mutton as a huge portion even in medium. Close behind are the dumplings, called crispy and pillowy soft, along with homemade juices, patties and fried chicken that one reviewer plans to try next. Many describe the food as authentic, fresh and full of flavour, with big, overflowing plates. Service gets steady praise, with staff called friendly, warm and welcoming, and several call it a first visit they intend to repeat. Reviewers also mention the convenient location with a car park nearby and a bus station opposite. No recurring complaints appear. One family says the takeaway jerk chicken and curry mutton was still hot after the drive to Ipswich, and another ordered for a group of 20 and found every dish tasty.
