Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the curry goat and jerk chicken, which several name as their favourite mains, with the goat curry also taken away by visiting friends. Close behind are the fried fish with plantain, the grilled prawns and the Sunday roast. Hench Boxes get credit for generous portions, a mac and cheese add-on is called cheese-tastic, and the Chocolate Festival cornmeal dumplings are a dessert favourite. Diners also mention the rum punch, a bottomless brunch with nice pitchers, and gluten free options. Portions are described as so large that some took leftovers home. Service draws repeated praise, with the manager and a very sweet server described as welcoming, lovely and attentive, and one reviewer says the staff made them feel at home. The only complaint is small: one reviewer hoped to try the spiced Jamaican ginger brownie but says it never seems to be available. One mentions the terrace is dog friendly. Several say they plan to return, and one tried a cocktail the server was testing out and thought it deserved its own menu.

“The food was unreal and the service from Grace was really good! We also had the rum punch and that was really nice too. We had a variety of the mains and the jerk chicken and goat curry were our favourite two!”

“It was my first time visiting yesterday and walked in. The service was 10/10 from the start. We were able to order drinks immediately while we waited for our food and was served initially by the owner and then at our table by the manager Syed. The food was incredible! I will definitely be recommending to my friends and I will be back!”

“Had an amazing experience here yesterday, it was a Sunday so all 3 of us went with the Sunday roast. The food was cooked and presented perfectly and was absolutely delicious. It was so good that my friends that were visiting from London also got a curry goat to take back with them! Syed was very attentive and made sure we were okay - amazing service! Will definitely be back.”
