Quick info
About Egi's Restaurant & Takeaway
On Queen's Rd in London, Egi's Restaurant & Takeaway is a Jamaican restaurant where the owner works as both chef and server, so the person cooking your meal is also the one serving it. The kitchen grills chicken and pork ribs, and the ribs come with a whiskey sauce. Rice and peas sit alongside the grilled meats on the Caribbean menu. A lamb chops meal gives another main to choose from. Garlic bread is also on the menu.

“Was sworn at and shouted at by the restaurant, for asking why my food took over 2hours to arrive. Disgusting service and people”
- Portia Parker

“Not gonna lie food is okay he does over charge most of the time so make sure you know the price yourself… also he charges extra for his “whiskey sauce” even tho you don’t ask for it rumours that he scratches his parts while cooking but not sure”
- Roy Orbison
“The best pork ribs in London bar none! Really lovely food in generous portions - south London meets the southern U.S via the Caribbean. Prawns, Lamb, chicken are all superb, I love the coleslaw and the garlic bread rules! An absolute gem that I can't recommend too highly”
- Flo Cheska
“I love egi’s. I been getting food from there for a while, I normally get it online so I haven’t been instore. The food is amazing the sauce is great and they always listen to special requests. I can only imagine the friendly staff that work there. The only thing is the online price is way above what it is instore x”

Customer Review Summary
Pork ribs are the dish reviewers return to most, with one calling them the best in London and another pairing them with grilled chicken and rice and peas. Close behind are generous portions of lamb, prawns and chicken, plus chips that one longtime customer prefers to rice, and the coleslaw and garlic bread. Several describe the owner, who both cooks and serves, as humble and polite, and one says special requests are always listened to. Pricing is the recurring complaint. One says the online price runs well above the in-store price, and another says the owner overcharges and adds a whiskey sauce that was never requested, advising customers to know the price themselves. A former regular says the lamb chops have become thin while the price has nearly doubled, and one reports a very late delivery. Another reviewer, previously let down by Caribbean food, says their phone order was handed over almost as soon as they arrived.
