  “⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A long-standing customer – constructive feedback I hadn’t visited New Tings in person for a couple of years, although I’ve enjoyed their food many times over the years, including deliveries around Brixton. I recently recommended New Tings to a business acquaintance and her family, and brought them along because I knew the variety of food would impress them. As usual, the place was BUSY – always a good sign! There was a fantastic selection on display, and we were genuinely looking forward to ordering several meals and sides. My guests had travelled from Wembley and were particularly excited by the prawns, chow mein, noodles, BBQ chicken, hard food, salads and all the other choices. The owners were still as pleasant and helpful as I remember them, which was lovely to see. Unfortunately, our experience with the tall female member of staff serving behind the counter that evening was very disappointing. When I asked perfectly ordinary questions about the food, I found her tone unnecessarily rude and dismissive. At one point, she deliberately looked away while I was speaking to her. My guests noticed the interaction, stood back and ultimately decided not to order anything, despite arriving excited to try the food. I had already ordered and, when the owner kindly asked whether I still needed serving, I ordered another dish. I had the jerk chicken with rice & peas and peppered steak with rice & peas. Both were enjoyable; personally, I think the peppered steak would be even better with a little more gravy. This experience will not stop me being a New Tings customer. I’ve been coming here over the years since they opened, and this review isn't intended as a negative reflection on the owners, the food or the business as a whole. It's constructive feedback regarding one interaction with one member of staff. When customers travel across London because someone has recommended your food, the welcome and service should be just as good as the food. New Tings has a great selection and clearly remains very popular. I hope this feedback is taken in the spirit intended, because I would like to continue recommending them. ❤️ Atmosphere: 3/5 — Busy and lively, but there was nowhere to sit because of the limited space/stools being stored up. Service: 2/5 — The owners were pleasant and helpful, but the server’s attitude was poor enough that your guests decided not to buy anything. That materially affected the experience. Food: 4/5 — Enjoyed both meals; only the peppered steak needed a little more gravy. Great selection too.”

  “I am probably late to the party, don’t @ me. Seriously what a venue! What a menu! And the staff, all uniformed all polite and happy to make your visit very pleasurable. This helps me to always buy more than I intended. So let me tell you. If I said I have experienced better Caribbean (Jamaican cuisine) food in London anywhere else, I’d be lying. It’s lucky I don’t live closer else I’d be there every day. Five Stars for service, menu and the good energy in the place.”

  “The jerk chicken was cooked nicely, but it was very sweet , not really to my taste. The rice and peas , slaw and cabbage were all acceptable but don’t think I would visit again due to the overly sweet flavour. Big portions and all well cooked.”

  “Lovely food and service always. Bit on the pricey side BUT they don't scrimp on portion sizes and are always welcoming which is a very welcomed change.”

  “Great soul food, there is always a queue there. Wonderful atmosphere that matches the quality of the food The takeaway didn't make it home- my kids pressured me to eat it on the street, just around the corner!”

  “Delicious food and excellent selection. Always busy, most staff attentive. Seem to take a age to warm my 2 meat only dishes in the microwave, she seem to get distracted doing other things. Still charged the same price as meal despite having no sides. Jerk sauce a bit to sweet for my liking. Lovely lamb and chicken wings”

  “New Tings!! This is my favourite Caribbean food shop to go to. So many great food options, Absolutely love everything here. Food is cooked very well with true Caribbean flavours. I’ve never had anything from here that has not tasted delicious and flavourful. As soon as you walk in the shop and see all the amazing food options and you can just see that all the food has been cooked fresh and seasoned well. I always wish I could buy everything in there. Would definitely recommend checking them out, food is absolutely delicious.”

  “Regarding my initial visit to New Tings on July 1, 2025, I observed a high volume of customer traffic. Despite the presence of a queue, the wait time was efficiently managed. The food displays were visually appealing, and the establishment maintained a clean and well-stocked environment. The menu offered a diverse selection of Caribbean dishes. The food has far to much pepper not everyone can eat it like that. My order included fish fritters, lobster tail, salmon, rice, and cabbage. I consumed the fish fritters and lobster tail, both of which were palatable. However, within a few hours, I experienced severe gastrointestinal distress, including vomiting. Given that I had not consumed any other food for at least 24 hours prior, I attribute the illness to the meal. While I cannot definitively identify the specific cause, all consumed items were regurgitated. Based on this experience, I suspect food poisoning. Therefore, I cannot recommend a return visit. The establishment is wheelchair accessible, and off-street parking is available with metered payment options.”

  “The food was absolutely delicious and totally worth the wait for their late reopening after the holidays. The food on display looked amazing, as we all know we judge food by its appearance first. The shop was spotless inside, and the staff really take pride in keeping it clean.”

  “I love your food and it's the best Caribbean around hands down but jeeeez man can you update when you're not open instead of wasting people's time travelling for no reason. A few times I've driven over 1 hour to Brixton for New Tings and online has said open but when you get there shutters down and you don't answer phones so I'm slightly put off I can't lie.”
