Chaconia in Lewisham

The chicken curry with pilau rice was probably the worst I have ever eaten. Rice under cooked, the chicken over cooked and the blandest spicing I have ever experienced. My partner had the same issue s, Roti had a very small amount of dahl in it. I really would not recommend this establishment for a takeaway.

I love it. Food fantastic. Great atmosphere

Top quality flavours and also consistent! Truly authentic. A weekly, even twice a week must have. Peace & Love!

THIS IS NOT TRINIDADIAN FOOD, horrible quality and representation of trini food.

Highly recommend! Lovely owner cooks homemade and fresh food. The vegetarian curry roti was amazing!

Great vegetarian roti, the hot pepper sauce she puts in them is pretty amazing ( and hot!). You can't sit inside but the bar across the street lets you bring your food (and decently priced pints). She's always very attentive and will put an extra something in the roti, my last time there it was a green mango sauce. The blackcurrant cake is also a must, she'll heat it up for you ❤️

Gorgeous veg curries in a warm, soft roti with tamarind and kuchela. Waited for a few minutes while this was all made fresh and brought out to me. The value is incredible and the food is clearly made with so much love. Will definitely be a regular! Only note is that it would be great to eat in there one day, currently it's takeaway only :)

delicious roti! Will be ordering again

3/5 items missing from order, attempted to contact restaurant and they didn’t answer. Appalling first impression.

GOOD thing I ordered more rice because what came with the curry goat was not enough.Saying I did not get enough goat either

Roti was very delicious. Macaroni pie was too cheesy for me but if your a lover of strong cheese, you will love it.

Omggggggg! This was one of the best meals I have ever had. I’ve wanted to try this place for so long, so I ordered today on just eat and I’m so glad I did. It came quickly and was piping hot when it arrived. I just want to personally thank whoever cooked the chicken curry and roti because it was sooooo tasty! The fried bake and salt fish was one of my favourite things I’ve ever had, and the value for money is so good! I can’t wait to eat here again!

Eating the food now. Roti very dry some hard. Saltfish Accra very oily. Tasted like it was made a few days before. Channa ok. First time the takeaway came up. Maybe new so not many customers so good old. Very disappointed

The first 2 times I ordered from chaconia the food was really nice.I have ordered it a couple more times since then ,and I see the effort is lacking .The love seems to have gone

Great quality food cooked with great care

The goaty roti was really nice, thank you

This is the second time ordering from Chaconia and it wont be the last .My son told me about chaconia and he was right ,its delicious.😋😋😋👍🏼

WONDERFUL restaurant, wonderful woman ,wonderful food

The lady at restaurant called me about not having a few items I ordered and if I'd like to order a substitute which was a pleasant surprise. Thank you! Food was ok 👍🏾

Really tasty. Would be much improved with less bones...

Soft dhalpuri, hot curried chicken. Will buy again.

Lovely fresh goat roti .Very tasty .Highly recommend😋

Amazing food - authentic, delicious, big portions to fill you up - don’t miss out! It’s the real deal!

Have ordered from here for a few years now, but quality of food has decreased and my last two orders the food has been pretty stale, very disappointing

I had a friend round and told them about this place. I ordered and they ordered, they delivered my option but left my friends out, when I called they said I can come and get it, no apology. It defeats the objective of having a delivery, I was disappointed and my friend was disappointed.

Service from the restauraunt cannot be faulted. I placed a big order on Sunday 15th May for food to the value in excess of £50 for delivery. This food freshly made on the day. The order was accepted by the restaurant and the food being prepared. Just Eat despatched a moped rider as would be expected to collect & deliver the food. When the moped rider arrived to pick up the order, they were told by the owner the order was not quite ready and would be a few minutes late. The moped rider cancelled the order & according to Just Eat chat, cancelled the order on the basis that the restaurant was CLOSED. How is it closed when the owner spoke to the rider. I then receive a tect message to say the order is cancelled followed by an email a while later saying the order was cancelled & money being refunded. All this while the restaurant is completing the order for delivery. The order was supposed to be delivered approx 3:35pm. I contacted Just Eat on chat to find out what was going on to be told I cancelled the order when in fact I had not, I was waiting for the delivery so family & friends could enjoy excellent west indian food. Just eat then told me I would need to place the order again, when I tried, Just eat put up the banner that the restaurant is not taking orders so I could not re-order for a while until the banner had been removed. I eventually got through placing the order again & another moped rider was despatched. I had friends at home waithing to eat & by the time the food eventually arrived at almost 5:20pm it was cold. This is the 2nd bad experience I must add not with the restaurant but with just eat. What sort of compensatio nam I entitled to from just eat?

Please bring back doubles! Chicken curry was delicious and would be even better boneless, Will definitely order again

Lovely food, the goat curry is amazing

Delicious and really good value, saltfish/goat/chicken curry all excellent. Happy I ordered and will definitely do so again.

I phoned ahead of placing my order due to food allergies. Was greeted by a very polite lady who explained which foods I could safely order. I had the channa/aloe roti which was delish. My granddaughter had the chicken roti which she thoroughly enjoyed. We also had the currant roll which was also delicious. Will certainly be ordering again 😊

The roti was dry and obviously not fresh. More bone than chicken in the roti and no taste. The special vegetables were ordinary mixed vegetables while menu illustrated different vegetables ie, squash . This was misleading. Finally the saltfish Accra was oily. In sum, I was extremely disappointed with the food and even with the discount was not worth it. I would not purchase food from this restaurant again.

Good traditional tasting food. Enjoyed food will eat from again. Keep it up chaconia

The best Roti’s in town!!! The lovely chef goes over and beyond 👏🏾

Food portion ridiculously small, more bones than anything. Won't be ordering from here again very disappointed.

Ordered here several times and always a great experience. You can taste it's homemade and the roti reminds me of the Surinamese cuisine. If something is not in stock she'll give you a call and is happy to replace it for something equally as good.

Should have a boneless roti option looks like the cook with scraps , won't order from there again

I ordered the chicken curry with plain rice. There was more bones then chicken I was really disappointed. China and potato Roti was good.

Friendly staff at Chaconia. Great tasting authentic Trini food in SE London. Delivered promptly & on time by just eat.

First time user of Chaconia. Real Trini food. Chicken, curry goat & vegetable Roti. Great food. Great taste just as if made in T & T. Definitely will use again. Great service by just eat, Thanks Yula.

Food was lovely, but could give a bit more meat in the portions

Amazing food really nice helpful delivery guy

Food was tasty as always but forgot the Tamarind sauce which is needed with such a spicy dish as Roti. Give thanks.

glorious curry wrapped up in fresh roti... it warms the soul! thank you for the food, i will be back again! the saltfish bake is a must try as well!

This is literally just mixed frozen veg. Not sure why this is even an option not worth the price at all. Very disappointing.

Loved the food and good prices! Will order again

The food was absolutely delicious

The restaurant could not get hold of a delivery driver and called me a few times to let me know. However i feel it is unacceptable that just eat did not resolve the problem more quickly, allowing my food to be so late. Unfortunately, on top of this the £3 hot sauce bottle was also missing from the delivery! I would like a full refund for the major inconvenience that this situation has caused.

Excellent service from the driver. I paid for 2 Coxa Colas and received 1. I asked not to wrap the roti. It was wrapped.

Delivered in good time for Christmas eve. Food was warm and tasty as usual.

ordered at 5pm order received just before 7pm. Not impressed expect some refund

Delicious home cooked food, carefully prepared and full of wonderful flavours. Will be ordering again.

Chicken wrap roti just like home! 🇹🇹 Beautiful customer service too. Would absolutely go again.

Beautiful customer service, warm and delicious food! I’d be proud to bring my non Trini friends here for a true taste of home. Thank you to the lovely lady who made this chicken wrap roti for me and wrapped it up so well with foil so that it was still warm by the time I got back to my hotel. Loved every minute of it - a heartwarming meal for this homesick soul!

One item was out of stock, but restaurant called and replaced it with a different item. Food was of excellent quality, like home made food. Really recommendable.

I ordered a chickpea roti. It had more potatoes than chick pea and the roti was a lil hard. That said I would try it again to see if that's the standard or could be improved.

Delicious. Perfect for a lunch at home with friends when I really didn't have the energy to cook!

Food was mediocre, the goat was actually beef.

Ordered 2 portions Mac n cheese only got 1.

Would recommend this place for their vegetarian roti.

Curries were just right. Lovely flavours, nice rotis. I would order again.

The food was delicious and the sorrel was really moorish, I never have really explored other carribean dishes from other islands and I'm glad I experience this. And I'm enjoying the bottle of pepper sauce. I will be ordering again and trying other dishes.

Got a delivery, was very very tasty, loved it all. Only suggestion is to start using recyclable packaging instead. Foods lit tho 🤝

Excellent. The best chicken roti ever - packed with chicken and flavour. Accras fantastic, too. The tastiest Trini food outside Trinidad 🇹🇹 .

Great Roti. Friendly staff. Quick service. Amazing place.

Perfect. Excellent. Food on time and delicious. Best roti ever.

The food is amazing the service outstanding in true trini fashion . I ate my meal and it took me back to when I was that ten year old boy in Port of Spain amazing highly recommended

Heartwarming food with deep flavours. The sauces will rattle your palate. A must-have!

Easy to order, prompt delivery and food more than met expectations. Will be ordering again

Food was full of flavour and the pepper sauce gave it a wonderful kick. Will be going back again soon.

After hunting for some good Trini food in south east London, I finally found my new spot..Absolutely delicious, so fresh & tasty! Thanks guys can’t wait to order again

On time delivery. Tasty as usual and just a right amount of spice. Yummy 😋

Fantastic as always, the best rotis. One small item unavailable but received a call to confirm this and everything else was delicious. Can't wait to visit again in person when possible. Mexican mint plant still going strong!

Had to order another one because the roti tasted too good ahaha Highly recommend the goat roti

The hot sauce is sensational. You can taste the homemade in everything. We literally travel across London for this place. I'm always inclined to eat somewhere regularly when they put their heart and soul into the food and that's exactly what Chaconia does. I wasn't even sure I liked this cuisine until I tried their food. My first ever experience was with the chicken curry and a roti. Now I would eat everything on the menu :) I especially like to stay updated with their new creations on instagram. See you soon Chaconia. My taste buds thank you :)

awful food , poor rice , small portion , never ever again

Arrived promptly and was very hot. The portion size was smaller than the other trini shop I go to but OK. The meat is on the bone which I didn’t like. It would be better if they serves roti separate if the meat is on the bone so you can bite the parcel. The fish bake and aloo pie were delicious and the hint of pepper nice.

Food was amazing!!! You forgot the plantain but it's okay because you have us 2 extra cream soda by accident. Roti knocked my toti off.

Best Roti's and Curries in town! Its home cooked food brought to your doorstep. If you dare to try their signature hot sauce, you will not be disappointed. Mind blowing! If you're cheeky like me, I put them all in my own pots and nearly convinced my guests I made it myself, until they saw the packaging. I highly recommend for quality, flavour and great value. The Mac pie is also a must try :)

Wonderful chicken Roti this side of the river

Me as a Caribbean man is highly disappointed in the quality of the food. Will not be returning. Portions are just about big enough for my 10 year old niece. Delivery time was reasonable.

Really delicious! Lovely service. Would definitely recommend

Excellent - could not recommend this restaurant highly enough. Fantastic customer service, a great menu and delicious home-cooked food!

Food was fresh and tasty, a takeaway worth ordering,

Chaconia's service was really good & so was the food, I would definitely order from them again

My favourite place to eat in Deptford. Delicious food. Friendly service. Lots of veggie options too. Can't beat a mix veg roti. Hey are you available for catering? Wanna talk to you about catering for a special event. Tried the phone number but no answer? I don't have Facebook either.

Apareció después de notar la Trinidad? bandera en la ventana . . que hallazgo!

Una’s Fresh & Tasty Trini food is absolutely delicious. She makes everything herself from the roti skins to sorrel. But the greatest find for me is her sensational homemade channa. It’s worth traveling any distance just for the spicy channa alone...plus all the other wonderful treats. Go!

Ever so often, one craves that hearty, honest meal and for me, that’s Chaconia, a Trinidadian restaurant at the heart of Deptford. The simple and clean store front veils the rich and exciting flavours that belie. I ordered the chicken curry and rice and was persuasively nudged by a fellow diner to try the goat curry instead; fortunately, the most generous proprietress indulged my gustatory fancies and offered me a small side of that. It was a plate of absolute joy - both curries had distinct flavours and the meats were perfectly stewed, retaining their structure while being succulent to the bite. The rice was well flavoured and was the perfect accompaniment to those rich curries. At £5, this was an absolute steal. I’ll be back.

The lady who cooks and owns the shop is so lovely. Her food is just as good. Whenever I'm in the area I always have to pick up a Curry Goat Roti :)

Acababa de tener el mejor roti de verduras. Mis papilas gustativas han sido bendecidas por la comida y mi ser ha sido bendecido por la encantadora dama que me sirvió. Espinacas, garbanzos y patatas y una sabrosa salsa picante. Todo fresco. No recalentar. ? Se puede decir que su comida fue preparada, cocinada y presentada con amor.

Wir haben ein paar Nächte im benachbarten Stadtteil Greenwich verbracht und auf der Suche nach karibischen Essen (in Deutschland ja fast gar nicht zu bekommen) sind wir im Chaconia gelandet. Da wir wenig Ahnung hatten, wurde uns etwas von allem in unserem Roti-Brot serviert. Es war sehr lecker und wir haben einiges über diese Küche gelernt. Nach dem essen gab es noch ein nettes Gespräch mit unser Gastgeberin. Dieser Laden ist nur zu empfehlen, wenn ihr mal in der Nähe von Deptfort seid.

We were out shopping wanted something to eat., A lady recommend the shop Chaconia. The lady in the shop was really nice and she explained what the items was on the menu. We ordered 1 Stew chicken Roti and 1 Curry Chicken Roti.....Which was just out of this world.

Food was delicious and the lady was very friendly. Def a good spot for a quick lunch on Deptford high Street.

Nice curry and rice! The lady who works here is so lovely, we were chatting for over half an hour about Trinidad and the plants in her restaurant

brilliant, cheap, filling. hot sauce is very hot

Completely delicious. We ate here on the advice of a friend for whom we were house sitting, and it's so good we seriously considered moving to Deptford permanently just for the roti. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended.

Si buscas comida casera auténtica, Chaconia es el lugar para ir. La comida es hecha por una mujer increíble que pone amor en su trabajo (comida). Ella tiene una pasión por la cocina y se nota en su comida. Es un espectáculo de una sola mujer, ella cocina, sirve y te contará historias. ¡Esta dama es una súper mujer! Confía en mí, ve a visitar su restaurante y lo recomendarás a todos tus amigos. ¡Buen trabajo! ¡Sigue haciendo sonreír a la gente con tu comida!

went here on a whim 1 because i cant find hardly any West Indian takeaways in East London and 2 because the Minute i saw a Trini takeaway (being half Trini myself) i had to go! The Women who owns the story was amazing, great conversation at a human and friendly level and the Roti and Meat i had was just like back home in Trini, definitely homemade and not just a statement. 9/10 im definitely going back !

Very delicious food cooked by lovely owner herself. Good value. Only downside is that this is a takeaway place, so only very limited seating for eating there.

Come here for authentic Caribbean cuisine at a great price. I would recommend the curry chicken with rice.
