“I ordered goat curry with jollof rice and waited about half an hour for just one dish. If they’d mentioned it would take time I wouldn’t have ordered and the food was not tasty. Just waste of time and money”
- Chris MacPherson
“Basically a box of rice with 4 small cut bits of chicken and 3-4 peas for 8.99. Over charged by £1 which had to be refunded. Asked me to go to the cash machine. Just be honest with customers in what you’re selling at a market. All the other stalls around you provide a normal amount of meat. Not happy at all and I am a very reasonable person - lost a customer from today - sorry.”

“The best jerk chicken I have had. The chicken is super juicy, with lovely flavours from the ways it cooked on the bbq. Not normally a fan of plantain, but this was delicious. High recommend.”

“Excellent Curry Goat and Jollof Rice. Very friendly team, and extremely welcoming and happy to recommend dishes. Good vegan options too.”

“I had the lamb curry from momma’s Kitchen, and it was amazing very flavorful and authentic. It came with plantains and two kinds of rice, all perfectly seasoned. Momma herself was so warm and welcoming, and she even made sure my curry had the extra spice I wanted. For £10, it was an incredible meal. I’ll definitely be back!”

Customer Review Summary
Curry is the draw, especially the goat curry with jollof rice and the lamb curry, served with plantain and described as tender, flavourful and freshly made. One reviewer singles out the glazed banana, and another calls the jerk chicken juicy with lovely bbq flavour. Reviewers repeatedly call the staff friendly and welcoming, and several say the spice was adjusted to their request, including a diner with a sensitive stomach who was steered to the lamb curry. The complaints centre on portions, value and waiting. Two reviewers describe boxes that were mostly rice with a few small pieces of chicken, one finding the jerk chicken bland and mostly skin, and others note long waits for a single dish. One reviewer reports being overcharged and asked to go to a cash machine before the refund.
