“I ate at Jenny's funeral yesterday and the food was absolutely disgusting. The jerk chicken and curry was too salty and extremely dry. Peas were not Caribbean and guests were all complaining to each other. I can't comment on the food in the restaurant but I would not recommend them for a catering event, they have no quality control.”

“I paid £20 for two small portions of rice and lamb curry, which felt overpriced for what we received. The lamb curry did have some flavour, but overall the experience was more soul-destroying than soul food. I was really looking forward to some proper Caribbean goodness and left pretty disappointed.”

Customer Review Summary
Jerk chicken draws the most praise, with one reviewer from Barbados saying no other takeaway does it the way this stall does and calling it a brilliant call home. Chicken curry and rice also gets a mention for chicken that melted in the mouth and a sauce that was not too hot and not too mild. Others call the food always bang on and the customer service outstanding, and describe feeling welcomed. The picture is not uniform. One reviewer who had the business cater a funeral found the jerk chicken and curry too salty and extremely dry, said the peas were not Caribbean, and reported guests complaining. Another found two small portions of rice and lamb curry overpriced, though the lamb did have some flavour. One reviewer claims the food is prepared at home and that no food rating is displayed. Even so, a newer meal box of rice and peas, jerk chicken, dumpling and a drink is called a bargain and tasty by a reviewer planning to return the following week.
