ABSOLUTELY Lovely brown stew chicken with rice and peas (chicken fell off the bone) Large portion was more than I could handle but they gave me a take away box. Curry goat was also amazing. Definitely mainly a take out place but eating in is available. Auntie needs to smile abit more and seem like she wants the customers but warmed up to us while we were there. Other than that lovely place and will go back when in the area.

The gentleman behind the counter was professional and friendly. He took my order and ensured it was served in time. The atmosphere was calm and I enjoyed my rice and peas with stew chicken so well. I would highly recommend

Excellent service. Ackee and salt fish with rice n peas close second to my Jamaican mum's. A tasty, fresh salad accompanied my dish. Good, large portion as I was famished. Served on nice dinnerware and cutlery if eating in. Atmosphere- Sunday reggae vibes like being home. Definitely recommend if in the area and will come again.

Oxtail plate was perfection. So soft and savory. Generous portions. Great friendly service. Right off the tube so super convenient for those on the go. Excellent to recharge after a big swim in West reservoir.

Food portions are good for the price, rather then those who state what the say but the portions are so small. Worth it for a treat
