Customer Review Summary

Diners most often single out the food at this family-run Jamaican restaurant in Canary Wharf, describing authentic Caribbean flavour that is well seasoned, beautifully presented and served in generous portions. One reviewer names the oxtail with rice and peas and macaroni cheese as tasty and cooked perfectly, while another says the mains stood out and the starter was just enough. Close behind is the service, called warm, friendly and attentive without being overbearing, with the owners and staff described as personable and welcoming. Drinks come up repeatedly as strong, including the rum punch and a fruit punch that one table says gave them a knock out punch. The setting is described as relaxed, classy and intimate, with white tablecloths, lamps, soft music and a 90s vibe. Several mention family birthdays and special occasions, and many say they will return. One reviewer was welcomed with complimentary drinks on arrival.

    “This has been my favourite Caribbean Restaurant for many years. I love the fact that is owned by a Christian black family and ultimately they treat every customer with such care and individuality. To them, you’re not just a number, you’re made to feel that you’re the only customer there, even if the restaurant is full. Service with a smile. The starter was just enough, the main was filling and every mouthful was just full of textures and flavours. I would highly recommend it. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, I don’t know what you’re waiting for? They made mention that they have live music starting in October 😊”
