7even Caribbean Restaurant and bar in Barking and Dagenham

Beautiful display but I think was my problem order the meat,,, sweet meat with spicy,,but all was lovely and beautiful

The food was melted in a container from were they had overheated it in the container in the microwave looks like burnt rubber wouldn't recommend macaroni cheese other than that the oxtail was okay not enough sauce

I will be definitely returning to this restaurant the food and the service was excellent. This is the best stem fish I’ve had at a Caribbean restaurant, I was left wanting more. My cocktail was the perfect drink to complement my experience. The manager was very friendly, knowledgable and pleasant, she made the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Great job you are winning thank you for making my day.

Honesty one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while. Food was cooked to perfection and service was lovely. Portions are big and we even had to take it home because we couldn’t finish. Definitely a hot spot for the family now. We’re coming back for sure.

Great food, great vibes. Will be back often!

Went to 7even for dinner tonight with hubby we both had the curry goat. Was absolutely amazing! The lady owner was lovely. Will definitely be coming back again 😊

Order arrived incorrect record another order

Very bad foods and the rice is not good

Stunning curry goat, the best we ever had!! The portions are enormous, too, and the owner is so lovely. I am coming back very soon!! Love the steamed vegetables 🤤 Thank you

The restaurant owner is a lovely lady. I am not usually a fan of Caribbean food, however the food at this restaurant was amazing. I even asked to take my leftovers home. Nice vibe! I would highly recommend this restaurant!!

The food was outstanding. I ordered oxtail with rice and been. Man it was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Both pots spilt in the bag so everything was covered in sauce

Mac and cheese is horrible and burnt

Great food and value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful! brown stewed chicken is delicious lovely atmosphere will most definitely be back again soon.

I have never had a bad service like this restaurant. One lady was there don’t know what happened with might she was so rude , she told me to wait 10 mins and after 10 mins when I went there to collect the food she said another 20 mins minimum or cancel the order .. unbelievable service .. very bad and rude she was .. I won’t recommend to anyone to go there ..

I came to 7even with a few of my friends after church and it was really nice. The ginger and lemon mocktails were good! I ordered two! I ordered the rice and peas and curry chicken with coleslaw. it was all banging! I even had to take some for takeaway cause I was full! great value for my money - will definitely be back again!

7even is a great spot, food is delicious, fresh and tasty, with a great vibe and amazing service. Would 100000% recommend.

The best West Indian restaurant around , unbelievable food ! Warm family friendly atmosphere… becoming a regular

Rice a bit undercooked but I appreciate the Mac and cheese

Best lady and the best Caribbean restaurant 😇

I wish there was zero star because even 1 star is too much for this dirty restaurant. Uncooked food.dirty dishes. Horrible customer service It was unimaginable experience. I won’t recommend this if you wanna have good time and good food don’t go there You immediately regret. It’s wast of money

Drinks didn’t arrive with my food £6 for 2 drinks and couldn’t even add them

Oh dear, what happened? Very salty and oily and ignored my notes. I didn't enjoy it. Not a patch on what they used to be last year - have they changed chef?

My favourite place to order. Food is always amazing and there’s never any problems with my food. Fast delivery as well

Delicious food I wish they were open more often

Had to wait a while for a driver to be assigned then the driver went to the wrong house. No fault of the restaurant. Food was amazing & great portion sizes

They usually have good food and I have been a customer since they opened. However, there were a couple of times they sent unusually bad food. When I called the restaurant, before this woman who picked the call could hear me out, she became very aggressive and tried to gaslight me for expressing saying that I wasn’t happy about the food that day. The food was all soggy (probably a different cook those days). To my surprise, whenever I try to make an order they reject the order. Ma’am if you read this comment, it is okay not to serve people you don’t wish to sell your food too. But you need to be professional and not extremely sensitive about constructive criticism. It is a lot of money to waste because I had to throw away the food and I wasn’t asking you for a refund. I will not be ordering again or recommend your restaurant.

Cold ox tail rice cold planting hard and nothing in with the ok tail

Raised with the bar set high by my Caribbean-cooking expert mom, I approached 7Even Caribbean restaurant and bar with discerning taste. To my delight, 🙃😄the food was not only amazing but went beyond my already high expectations. The welcoming service added to the experience, and I can't wait to recommend this gem to all my friends.

The food was presented very badly and for that cost I am very disappointed with it. If there was a way of attaching pictures you would see exactly what I mean. The bag was dripping with brown fluid and the packing of the food is unacceptable. There definitely needs to be a big improvement or stop doing takeout altogether.

The food was excellent! Great portion size, was hot and very tasty. I have ordered from 7even several times and the food is always delicious

I was sold undercooked curry lamb that was pink in colour and no curry. I’m certain it wasn’t prepared by a Jamaican chef. I wasted my money.

Tried this restaurant for the first time when ordering on uber eats. The food to me was average, it wasn't bad. But it wasn't good enough for me to order again. Felt like the food lacked love, passion and zest. There could have been a lot more flavour.

Demi made us feel welcomed. She was friendly and attentive. She went out of her way to ensure that everything was done to ensure our 1st experience was pleasurable. The Curry Chicken was really tasty. Even though I was full, I couldn't stop eating. Portion sizes are great. Curry goat, brown stew chicken, and fried chicken were all cooked to perfection. I had an autistic child with me, who was winging and wanted to run around. She quickly put something on the tv to entertain him. He was so happy, he kept on cuddling her and she showed him warmth too. We also really enjoyed the festivals. I would recommend this restaurant and I wish them every success with their business.

Definitely order from this restaurant! Very tasty food and responsibly priced with very good portions. Stewed chicken is my go to so to have the option of 2 sides is a HUGE bonus that no other carribbean restaurant offer. Plantain is moist and tasty (not dry or unripe like others in the area) I am a repeat customer and will definitely keep returning! Thank you for authentic carribbean food 🙏🏼♥️ God Bless

Food was exceptional. Couldn't of asked for any better. The hostess was extra friendly.

Great food, a very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere 👌. Definitely will be a visiting again the next time I'm in the area.

Not enough yam, potatoes, chicken in soup.l got small piece of chicken and very little vegetable

Bought a chicken soup, it was terrible. watery with allot of skin floating at the top. It consisted of carrots and the worst tasting dumplings ever with boiled tasting chicken. First and last time.

I ordered soup but did not get it and l was charged for it

Dunno what happened to my coleslaw and peppered steak it’s missing

Food was lovely will order again

Ordered stew chicken, curry chicken and a side of Mac cheese (£5). The food itself was flavourful. It’s such a shame as the curry’s themselves were 90% bones. The chicken must’ve been cut poorly as every spoonful had a piece of bone fragment in it. Quite frustrating as the food itself was nice. I ended up chocking on a small bit of chicken rib fragment which put me off the food entirely. The mac cheese was horrible; it was bitter. We think expired ingredients were used as it tasted like off milk. Also, £5 for that tiny portion? We couldn’t eat it anyways so.. £5 wasted. I hope the restaurant reads this as the food was so tasty but the bone fragments were disgusting and a safety issue. There was probably 10g of chicken in that whole meal. Perhaps consider offering boneless chicken?

The jerk sauce is bangin, w jerk chicken

I had takeaway from here which I collected. Staff were friendly, and food was fabulous. We both had jerk chicken with plantain and macaroni cheese. Delicious and very tasty. The portions are good and price is fair for the portion size. I'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work as you now have Caribbean eateries either side of you so please don't disappoint.

The chicken and the planteine tastes very nice, but I forgot to take pictures at the beginning. Otherwise food taste nice

Nice restaurant but no atmosphere and the food wasn't as tasty as I like quiet bland... £30.00 for a bottle of red...

Very nice staff Big portions for the price Nice calm music and LEDs Good comfortable place to be in

Restaurant is in good location, staff is warm and welcoming. The food was top tier, very nice, served promptly nice and hot.

Lovely food but unfortunately I found a lot of hair strand in my hair food.

Food is very authentic! I loved everything about my meal especially the jerk wings. My meal was very satisfying and I will definitely be ordering again! Thank you again

We visited on a Friday evening, the service was friendly and welcoming and the food delicious. We had brown stew chicken, oxtail, rice & peas, plantain and coleslaw and the portions were a decent size. They had a DJ on site playing some great music; he's there the last Friday of the month. We will definitely return.

My opinion of this restaurant is not the best nor the worst. It's pretty average. It's located at a strategic location, which is right at the traffic lights junction, so most people will notice it. Be warned though, there is no parking as a result of that location so you will have to find parking elsewhere. The waitress was nice and warm, which made a difference. The restaurant had better ambience though than some others I've visited. It's just quite small. I noticed there was just one waitress and one chef. That could put a damper on things if the restaurant got full. Even though it wasn't full, it still took more than 25 minutes to get our dishes because the chef had to prepare dishes for a couple who came in to order takeaway. It meant we had to wait longer, which was annoying, but the waitress was nice, so I couldn't complain. Now when the food arrived, a few things to note. My dish of goat curry was really watery. Some corn flour to thicken the sauce would have been nice, but then again, I have noticed Carribean curry is always watery. My partners oxtail was a bit watery too. The waitress also didn't provide all the complete cutlery, so we had to keep calling for spoon and this and that which again was annoying. The meat in each curry was cooked to perfection I must say but the sauces, just too watery. I ordered a tropical punch and what the waitress showed me was readymade bottles of cocktails that she poured into a glass and added ice. I didnt even taste the alcohol yet this was supposed to costing almost £10. Their cocktails are really expensive, by the way. The cheapest is £9.75. I've been wanting to visit this restaurant. Been there now and that's it. Next.

Amazing Chicken Stew with rice and peas. The meal was just out of this world, take a step into 7Even and I guarantee you that you will love the food. You will not be disappointed, it was simply delicious.

I ordered curry goat and rice and peas no gravy dry meat.i also order jerk chicken. No jerk seasoning on chicken just a pot of sauce to pour over it.. this is the poorest yard food I have ever had..coming like a Jamie Oliver meal ..I am not one to leave reviews but £31 really

Fresh and hot Caribbean cuisine. Very tasty jerk and stew chicken.

My friends and I enjoyed a lovely meal at 7even Restaurant on Friday. The service was great, the food was delicious at a good price and lovely music was played to entertain us. We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you to the waitress and the chef.

Wonderful food, excellent service. I didn't catch out waitresses name but she was very attentive. 100% coming again.

If you are looking for real authentic Caribbean food this is the place for you. I went there for the first time almost a year ago and since then have been coming back every week. Friendly, polite staff and the interior restaurant looks amazing!! My personal favourite dish is the Jerk chicken however the oxtails is scrumptious too!! Would recommend to everyone!!

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and very attentive staff. Will be returning!

The coconut rice and peas and oxtail was great. The fried chicken was ok but not to the same level.

This restaurant should have 5 star status!! ☆☆☆☆☆ Food is amazing. Staff are wonderful. Venue has a welcoming environment. Highly recommend for dine in, take out & private events. Food is cooked to perfection & reasonably priced too.

Horrible restaurant. Found a hair in my food, when I told her, the chef denied it and tried to blame it on me, saying she was wearing a hair net. She later deducts it from my order (after I showed her the hair on a napkin) and I don't get served for another 20 minutes, until we ask them if the food is coming. My friends were done eating by the time I got my food again. Servers were equally rude and have no costumer service skills. Portions were small for the price paid. Will never return there again, as I have never been so rudely treated in a restaurant before.

Recommend by friend, glad I visited, great warm service and authentic food. Will go again

We went here on a whim after shopping so didn’t really have an expectation but I was incredibly surprised with how the food was cooked to such a high standard. I ordered the escovitch fish which was cooked to order and it was so large and crispy yet moist. Mum had the brown stew chicken and loved how they did not skimp on the sauce. My sister and son had fried chicken and my son ate the whole lot (and he’s a fussy eater). The flavour of everything was top notch, every element fresh and tasty. Keisha is such friendly server, treating every guest so mannerly. A lot of the Caribbean restaurants in the area have dropped the years so it’s nice to have one that raises the bar again. We’ll be back again :)

Great service. Authentic food. Best in the area

Pleasant,helpful and cooperative staff. Food was good except for the macaroni cheese and the mint in my Mojito could have been fresher.

Had fish meal with rice and peas, Mac and cheese on the side. Fab meal was really really impress. Im not very particular to buy jamaican food as most time the food dosent taste right.But having this meal exceed my expectation. Would recommend 100%.The portion was huge had to take away the left overs. Order jerk on a separate occasion the taste was just right, well season to bone.one of the best jerk.

Amazing Service. Took my Aunt who was visiting from Canada to my fav spot. I literally cannot fault the service. What am Experience. The Strawberry Darkary was too die for. My meal was second to none. My Aunt could not stop raving about the foot, she even suggested the owner move to Canada to open a new Resturant as she would hit it big time.(LOL) This is my regular spot but each time it’s a new vibes. I recommend the spot to everyone and talk about reasonably prices for good authentic Caribbean food. We even took our left over home and it was just so much food. 5 star for a great afternoon out.

I don't usually write reviews but I feel this is important because it feels like we have experienced daylight robbery. Tonight, I thought it would be a good idea to get some Caribbean food for the household where everybody was up for it. I went to my regular place where I would place an order but sadly did not go through as soon as I ordered they were stopped taking orders. As we all still what did Caribbean food by pursued to find another restaurant which is when I found 7even Caribbean Restaurant. To start with, everything that I wanted to order the price was already twice as much compared to what I was going to pay at the other restaurant. I was expecting it to be better because of this but when it had arrived it was a whole different story. My peppered prawns did not come, the jerk chicken did not have any flavour and was burned to a crisp on one side, the rice and peas was dry and had a really distinct coconut taste to it, the macaroni cheese for what I paid was a awful portion as it hardly fit the container and the coleslaw was not coleslaw. I must give credit where credit is due and say that plantain and the jerk chicken wings wasn't too bad and was acceptable. It’s a shame however that the rest of the order was a total disappointment. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again as prices are not matching of the same standard. I have eaten from the other Caribbean restaurant I was going to order from and their food is much cheaper and should be charging what this restaurant is doing.

DECIDED TO GIVE 7EVEN RESTAURANT A TRY LAST WEEK AND ITS NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOOD SPOT. I FELT AS IF I WAS SITTING COMFORTABLY IN MY OWN KITCHEN BEING GIVEN GREAT SERVICE AND FOOD. THEIR STAFF IS EXCELLENT... WISH I COULD GIVE THE FOOD A 100 STARS. WELL DONE TO YOU LOT.

The food was amazing, out of this world! The steamed fish was delicious and special orders also available upon request which was appreciated. Amazing atmosphere. Great bar area with a wide selection of cocktails. Staff brilliant with kids and catered for all our needs.

Took my husband here for his 40th birthday meal. We were not disappointed! Absolutely fabulous food, we had jerk chicken and oxtail, and sides of rice and peas plantain, steamed veg, macaroni cheese and Coleslaw. The macaroni cheese was amazing 🤩. The staff Shanice and Keisha were so lovely and welcoming and the cocktails were to die for and not for the faint hearted 🤣. Wonderful experience will definitely be going back.

Lovely friendly Restaurant .food was Amazing. Very good portion sizes.Will definitely be coming back

I absolutely hate to leave a negative review… but sadly have to in the hope the management see this and improve… I called up for Mother’s Day, on the day and they said they had availability… great… we all turn up… no real welcome, after waiting a while we ready to order drinks, they are not serving alcohol today, I was lied to and told I had received a call back telling me this… obviously untrue… when ready to order, the kids ordered burgers off the limited menu… to be told they don’t have any burgers, finally offered a Childrens menu… after waiting another 10mins we decide to leave… not the greatest of experience… much love to the people, but you have got to do better x

A really cool/chilled place to eat, great/friendly service and a fine selection of alcohol to go with the traditional jamaican food that will leave your tastebuds satisfied. They also have a dj that plays once a month on a Friday which helps set the tone for any celebration

Just received your food, ordered on Uber eats. Extremely poor quality, what a waste of time and money. Dried old chicken wings. Tasteless jerk chicken. Dry and flavourless Mac n cheese. Stew chicken tasted like it was 3 weeks old. 5 miserably cooked prawns with no taste.

Absolutely delicious, amazing service, will be coming back!

Absolutely lovely food, friendly atmosphere and nice decor. Will most definitely be returning.

Staff were friendly, food fresh and tasty. Will definitely eat there again.

Great staff Great food We will be going again 😋

Went a few weeks back and will definitely return. Great food and service. Very clean restaurant. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because what I wanted to order had finished. Great ambiance inside you feel like you are in the carribean.

I loved the food it was amazing! They took a bit long to give our order but it was because we had ordered a big meal. The Mac n Cheese was fabulous Me and Daughter in laws mother had fantastic soup. My grandson said he wanted this place to be rated 5 stars I really enjoyed my stay!I would recommend it to everyone I know

Ordered takeaway. I thought I'd give this place a try seeing the previous good reviews. However, the steamed veg and rice and peas were flavourless.I received the wrong flavour of wings. The £5 mac and cheese portion was so small, it was enough for three spoonfuls.The only redeeming quality was the jerk chicken itself. I wasted £25.

At first we were not sure whether to takeaway or sit in, because it looked like the food may be a long wait. Due to the ratio of diners to one lady making and serving the meals. Eventually we ordered to eat in the restaurant, and although there was a long wait for the food. It was worth the wait! The food was hot and delicious authentic Caribbean cuisine. The waitress was friendly and welcoming. Rum punch hit the spot, will definitely be back soon. Only criticism-needs more staff front of house and in the kitchen.

Awesome restaurant and bar. Food and cocktails are top notch. Friendly service and great music too. Regularly head there

Great place to buy food and cocktails l really had a good time dinning out..

Lovely ambiance, great music selection and great food. I did want to get up and dance a few times haha. The chicken wings were so filling I couldn’t get onto my main course! And the drinks were lovely

Such lovely staff working in this restaurant. Customer service was outstanding. Food was served quickly. Portion sizes were bigger than expected for the price paid. Food tasted amazing. I will definitely be a regular customer.

The food was tasty but be ready to be disappointed by the portion. I ordered oxtail and a side of rice and peas with plantain for £17 but instead got a bowl full of rice and hardly any meat, just bones, after waiting for nearly 2 hours for delivery. Good thing I was offered a refund because I would have been so livid.

I had a beautiful afternoon great atmosphere, the food was mouth watering. Excellent food customer service 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The staff were exceptional polite and well coming. The ambience was relaxing enjoyed every moment, beautiful restaurant and food 😋

Very sumptuous food and bright decor. Will recommend it to any one that loves food and neatly place.

Poor customer service, unnecessarily mean and rude. Never have I had such a poor experience at any restaurant than this place. The first time I ordered from them they got the order wrong I informed them and they replaced it. I have ordered from them since and they didn’t get the order wrong and the food was nice but today has been a horrible experience to the point that I returned home in tears and felt compelled to leave a review to warn others. They forgot my blue cheese dressing and I pointed this out. The woman then proceeded to inform me she forgot it because I intimidate her staff and that it is my fault which was pointed out to me several times, there wasn’t even an apology for forgetting part of the order in the first place. My daughter was going to order from them for her sons birthday in two weeks but has now been put off and will order from one love instead which is nearby and has excellent customer service. Please avoid this place at all costs. They were so rude I was shocked and appalled. Never have I been spoken to like that or made to feel so small.

Food was bland I ordered pepper steak with rice & peas, the rice and peas was hard The mac & cheese was to salty We ordered jerk wings for a starter that was too tough not tatse

Amazing place to eat I’m happy to always eat there

Went to this Restaurant yesterday with my family the staff show Professionalism. I ordered Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas, Curry Goat with White Rice, Pasta Salad, we had Burgers and Chicken wings, Steam Fish the atmosphere was magnificent. The service was exceptional the place was very clean. The Manager was very friendly she speak to us in a kind friendly manner I would recommend this place to my friends and family I definitely will be going back. This is my third time going to 7even Restaurant I was there on opening night The Manager said this was all a dream it’s on her neon sign when you walk in through the first door you can take photos

Good atmosphere friendly staff 👌 food is very delicious i eat the steam fish 🐟 garlic prawns and rum and raisin ice cream and I did have couple of cocktails 🍸 I surely will be going back with my family 👪 😋

Went for the 1st time Friday night , lovely food ,great customer service well worth a visit.

Visited on the opening day! Welcoming staff and love the decor! Had the jerk chicken which was delicious and the fam loved the oxtail!

I was at the 7even restaurant opening and the atmosphere was electric, the food was tasty and the staff were extremely welcoming. I look forward to my next visit !!
