    The food, staff & service were great. Authentic Caribbean at it's best. Highly recommend.

    i think this restaurant has a real potential but : our starters came in the meantime of mains; food was not so good even we can notice that they were putting efforts on that for example, on the jerk salmon there was still the skin and plantain banana were not cooked properly; also, no desert but we were on Friday night and not late; also fee other customers were having issues and we saw that the restaurant team was not really nice with them.

    Nice spot with a great vibe, and super friendly service. The mutton curry was delightful, and a solid portion (deceitfully big)

    The food portions were fantastic and service was prompt, salmon were a bit on the small side, but lovely evening and would definitely do this again.

    Tender dark-glazed ribs garnished with green onions and orange zest, served with crispy golden fries, alongside fried appetizers and a colorful medley of sautéed vegetables.

    The restaurant was very quiet at 6pm and told we couldn’t sit at booth as for four but eventually they agreeed ! Barman greets you with a stern face never smiles. I wanted a selection of starters and sides but told if I wanted a main had to be ordered at same time and cannot be added later !!! The food average very greasy dumplings, the Mac cheese was tasteless and didn’t know it was deep fried ! We booked through Fork app but they said they didn’t know and offer is old one but the Fork automatically notifies the restaurant when booking is made ! Eventually sorted out the bill where a 12.5% service charge added !

    Service was good, the staff were very friendly although sometimes difficult to get their attention. Food was not great, very salty and definitely not made fresh or served hot. Second time there. But will only go again for drinks not food.

    Dark-braised beef in glossy sauce served with rice and red beans, alongside crispy fried dumplings and a colorful vegetable medley with scrambled eggs and peppers.
    Tender braised beef in a rich dark sauce, accompanied by golden fried plantains for a sweet contrast.
    Golden-brown baked dessert with a flaky crust and a sweet fruit or custard filling, accompanied by a side of savory collard greens.

    So good! such amazing flavours and great service! the jerk pork was a favourite! 100% will be back!

    Lively restaurant interior with colorful decor, string lights, and a warm atmosphere, ideal for casual dining and social gatherings.
    Braised meat in a rich dark sauce served with fluffy white rice and a side of earthy beans, complemented by a chilled glass of beer.

    everything ok, everybody kind. Only I would suggest more Jamaican Roots music than Ragamuffin' 😊

    Two golden, fluffy fried pastries served with a savory filling of chopped vegetables, herbs, and spices, featuring a hint of heat from a red chili pepper.
    Curry with tender meat and vibrant garnishes, served with seasoned rice, creamy coleslaw, and a golden cornbread muffin, alongside a savory braised meat dish with vegetables.

    Had a fantastic early dinner arriving in time for Happy Hour from 5-7pm where a selection of cocktails are £6. Had a delicious Bird of Paradise Cocktail with rum, fruit juice and banana liquid. This was followed by a starter of Ackee and Saltfish with dumplings which were lovely and light . My main was curry mutton with rice and peas and coleslaw. The curry was some of the best I have ever eaten. The meat was tender and the curry was flavoursome with the right amount of heat. Really enjoyed my meal. Didn't have any space for dessert. The service was great. The young ladies were attentive and friendly. I will certainly be returning and spreading the word to friends. All the tables around us everyone appeared to be enjoying their food and cocktails.

    Trendy, hidden gem of a restaurant tucked away in a Camden side street close to Camden Town tube station. Delicious, authentic tasting caribbean dishes, friendly and attentive staff. The curry goat was off the scale scrumptious! The reggae background music was a bit loud at times but this did not spoil the experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

    It was a great restaurant delicious food and cocktails... It would have been better if the waitresses had not been quite so obvious about ignoring customers, preferring to flirt with the security guard - the barman had to tell them to come over to us.

    Great decor. Palm shades and wall art. Entrance has a montage to Robert Nesta Marley. Food reasonably priced and presented. Romeo DiCaprio was our excellent, chilled server. He has a working sense of humour and knows how to engage on conversation.. Ribs starter was a decent portion and very yummy morish, so were the fried dumplings. Mains of Curried Goat rice n peas delicious. The Brown Stew Chicken highly recommended. Bottle of House red, Merlot. And a passion fruit Daiquiri went down smoothly. Had the pleasure of meeting Chef Shane too. Lovely place. Music varied from reggae to dance hall. Recommended.

    Reviews prior to visiting were mixed, I found the experience of both staff and service brisk but courteous, food excellent, price considering 10 people had quite a few cocktails in addition to our meals, reasonable. All in all I’d do it again easily.

    The food was very nice, but the small plates pack in the Jamaican flavour significantly more than the Ital or chicken curry
