Most Disliked
Some diners have pointed out that while the food is exceptional, wait times can extend during peak hours, especially on weekends. As a result, it might be wise to make a reservation or plan to visit during less busy times.
A few reviews mention the seating arrangement may feel cramped during busy periods, which can detract from the overall experience. Additionally, while the menu is extensive, some guests expressed a desire for more vegetarian options beyond what's currently offered. Evaluating these suggestions could enhance future dining experiences.

Really great customer service, we got into London and needed to celebrate my son in law's birthday but not much places would have us with a baby. The staff let us have our meal together, played music of our choice and the food was good. They went above and beyond to meet our needs, which we will never forget and we will always eat there, when we are in London.

Best Jerk chicken I have had in London! And the portions are large, the value for money is fantastic. My wife had the soup which was also delicious. The guys that work there are super friendly too. We will definitely be making this a frequent place for great Carribean food!

Visited around 4 times now. All friends I have recommended this place to have loved it. Even done a big order recently of around 8 meals, everything was right and everyone enjoyed the meal. Authentic jamaican food and definitely one of the best I've been too. Patties are delicious and there mac and cheese... Man, you just gotta order it 😋. Loved everything else too(oxtail, curry goat & fried chicken)
