Customer Review Summary
Dumplings draw the most attention, but rarely for the right reasons: reviewers repeatedly describe them as mushy, rock solid, or tiny and cold on arrival. Oxtail comes up almost as often, with several finding it oily, gloopy, or jellied, with a gravy some call granular and inedible. Plantain and a mutton soup that never arrived draw further complaints, and one reviewer felt the price paid for a salmon and prawn dish was not worth the money. A few disagree entirely, saying the food is full of flavour and calling it one of the best Caribbean spots around, with repeat orders mentioned. One reviewer reports finding a hair in their rice and peas. Refund attempts for the missing soup order were unsuccessful through the delivery platform.

“Ordered Oxtail which wasnt great at all. Plantains was not nice and the mutton soup didn't even arrive. Tried to get refund for the soup but was unable to via ubereats.”

“If I could give this zero stars I would. Food was absolutely appalling. Oily, gloopy oxtail with dumplings that were rock solid. Food is not fresh and looks like it was made days ago. Kitchen Co should be ashamed that they are serving food like this at this price point. To top it off a hair found in the rice & peas. Save yourself the time and DO NOT order from here!”
- Olivia Reid
“The food is nice but way too over priced £45 for this one salmon and 4 prawns and veg and is crazy. Not worth the money at all”
