Customer Review Summary
Jerk chicken with rice and peas draws the most attention, with several diners calling the portions huge and the flavor among the best Caribbean food they've had in London, and one regular praising the chicken and rice and beans as spot on after ordering online. Close behind, servers are repeatedly singled out as friendly and talkative, with one lady's customer service called 10/10. But complaints recur just as often: reviewers describe poor quality and poorly prepared food, one calling a chicken soup mostly bones and vegetables with barely any chicken, another calling their jerk chicken not freshly made and served in a flimsy takeaway box with plastic cutlery that couldn't cut it. One reviewer also reports suspecting the chicken was off before cooking and describes falling ill, raising food safety concerns, though this is a single account. Several dissatisfied customers say they wouldn't recommend it or return, even as satisfied ones say they'll definitely be back.

“AHH this local restaurant never ceases to disappoint on the quality of meat, portion sizes, cost, flavor and haphazard service. Today was the last time I will order from this place. Save your money,learn how to cook west Indian food yourself !”

“First thing is first I live local an i tend to support my local businesses, so at 2200 I went to "Kingston Jerk Hut London" an i got charged £8 for the soup ok fair enough. I ordered a large chicken soup an i basically got dumplings, onions,cabbage carrots. Oh yeah the best bit is they basically gave me bones for chicken to the point I looked at it an just couldn't stomach to eat it. An being served by people of your own heritage an he looked in the mirror looked in the pot an thought hmm him nah go know till him reach home. How would you serve me this? If I could post the video I actually would ive never felt so angry as I suffer with health issues so I dont tend to really eat out an for this to happen im taking it back to the shop tomorrow an im looking to get my money back or im reporting it. Im livid cause now im starving an there is nowhere really for me to get food to eat.”

“After being away for two years, this place still rocks! Ordered online just before the closing time. The worker called me to make sure to correct my mistake in the order, and most importantly, the chicken and rice and beans are still the very best quality you can get in London. Spot on, and I will definitely come back, already this week.”

“I wouldn’t recommend eating here. The food is of a poor standard - it tastes bad & seems to have been prepared poorly too. You can see how the food was advertised vs. how I received my food. This is a violation to Kingston. This is not Kingston! If you want some good jerk chicken in London, go to Lulu’s in Stroud Green/Finsbury Park. This is not it. The service wasn’t bad, though it wasn’t great. It’s typical of a Caribbean restaurant in London. The atmosphere has potential, though it’s not a vibe to dine in. The wall art is peeling off & it just doesn’t have the dine-in vibe.”
