don't remember if previous orders of the curry goat had potato, but if so, I thought it was strange to include 1 very small piece - in comparison to the portion of meat and rice

Don’t think I’ll be ordering from here again .. got oxtail n rice . May aswell have ordered plain easy cook rice with a sprinkle of stew as that’s what I got . I am starving .. after ordering a ‘large’ lol I counted about 4 pieces of tiny oxtails mostly fatty. And was also bland on top of that. One of the worst oxtails I’ve ever tried overall 3/10

Your establishment consistently exhibits significant operational shortcomings. Menu items are frequently unavailable, leading to considerable customer dissatisfaction. In 2025, it is unacceptable to display such inefficiency. The notion of "melanated time" as a justification for these delays is unprofessional. I urge you to improve your service quality.

The food was nothing but straight grease. It was full of oil/fat to the point where you can taste it with every bite. The Mac and cheese was basically Mac with oil and no cheese. With that being said you get the bare minimum of the shambles. For context: what we ordered - Mac and cheese Lamb chops Chicken stew Curry goat Only go there if you want cholesterol and clogged arteries.

Establecido hace casi 30 años en Stratford, este negocio de gestión familiar es en serio una joya oculta que recomiendo a cualquiera en la zona! No es el más glamuroso de los lugares con seguridad, sin embargo, la auténtica cocina del Caribe es morir por! Tomé el guiso de cola de buey, arroz y guisantes y una albóndiga Callaloo. ¡Fue enorme! No necesitaba comer de nuevo hasta el mediodía del día siguiente. Mi amigo (que había estado antes también me estaba presentando) tenía el pollo patán y un albóndigas. Mi amiga ha criado a su hija con herencia caribeña, por lo que conoce su comida, y ella califica Calabash muy alto! También es de gran valor. Emocionado de visitar aquí más en el invierno!

This did not taste anything like Oxtail. It was tasteless and very disappointing. Lots of fatty pieces too. I wouldn't have minded paying £10 for it, if it had been tasty but it wasn't so not value for money either. The pattie was rock hard and dried out. I could only eat the middle and threw the rest away. Overall a waste of money....have you changed the cook?

I've always liked black cat and I love what the new owners have done with the place. I will say that some of the food is nice but not as good as it used to be, for example the breakfast scrambled tofu is a little bit too mustardy. It would be cool if we could have some of the previous classics too, is it possible to purchase the recipes from the previous owners? The service and atmosphere is excellent though, wouldn't mind seeing it keep its political 'edge' too tho. Defo gonna keep coming but wanted to add some notes. This is a really nice cafe to sit at for a while and enjoy some food and drink.
