Chaconia in Lewisham

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!

The goaty roti was really nice, thank you

WONDERFUL restaurant, wonderful woman ,wonderful food

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

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.

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.

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!

The food was absolutely delicious

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!

Would recommend this place for their vegetarian roti.

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

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 :)

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 :)

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

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.

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!

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

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 :)

I had just had the best veggie roti. My tastebuds have been blessed by the food and my being has been blessed by the lovely lady who served me. Spinach, chickpea and potato and a tasty hot sauce. All fresh. Not reheating. 😋 You can tell their food was prepared, cooked and presented with love.

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.

If you are looking for Authentic homemade food, Chaconia is the place to go. The food is made by an amazing woman that puts love in her work (food). She has a passion for cooking and it shows in her food. It’s a one woman show, she cooks, serves and will tell you stories, this lady is a superwoman! Trust me, go visit her restaurant and you will recommend it to all your friends. Good job! Keep making people smile with your food!

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.

Delicious and the lady was very sweet! Had chicken curry and rice

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

Delicious goat curry and stew in roti! Hot pepper sauce is very hot - beware! The fried bake is defo a must eat. Everything was amazing and can’t wait to come back!

I'd lived in the area for fifteen years before a friend from New York said I absolutely had to try this roti place she'd read so much about. The decor is plain white and modest, so I hadn't spotted it, but the food turned out to be AMAZING and it's one of my favourite places to eat now. The owner makes the roti herself (it's a bit like a tortilla or chapatti, only nicer), and the filling I order most often is a combination of goat, pumpkin and spinach, with a tiny dash of her wonderful homemade scotch bonnet hot sauce (treat with extreme caution!), and a big glass of her spiced sorrel juice. You can get vegetarian fillings, too. The owner's friendly and chatty and I've learned a lot about the area from her. There are two tables with four chairs at each. Don't go too near to closing time or she might have run out of food by then: it's all fresh and made right there. SO good.

The best and most authentic Trini food in London. Not a Jerk in sight!

Best ever!! Love it! Been going for years and I travel from Thamesmead for it!!

Proper home cooked Trinidadian food, really like the aloo pie, accra, and any of the rotis. Go easy on the pepper sauce

Food is great & Love the lady that works there, so friendly :)

Was missing my beloved Trinidad and the food here filled that void. Great service and food for most dietary requirements! Everything is home made and the owner is an absolute gem. I couldn't thank her enough!

I discovered this place about 3 years ago and the food is just as good today as it was then. The price is great and ofcouse the 'Governess' herself who runs it, is such a lovely lady. She is a wealth of knowledge and always gives great advice. Her food is flavourful and you can request to have it more spicy if you want. Her hot pepper sauce is the real deal! I always order the vegetarian option and it's still as great and tasty today as it was when I first tried it 3 years ago. FYI she doesn't open on Mondays, however If you want to try great Caribbean food cooked with love, then Chaconia is a must!

Whenever I have stepped foot into that restaurant, I have been embraced by the mouth watering smells and greeted with a warm hello by the lady owner. Her food is prepared fresh daily and so lovingly. I have treated myself to home food from the store every Friday since I moved to Deptford. I highly recommend the goat curry and chicken stew, with rice or roti, all washed down with beautiful sorrel drink. oh try the veggie dishes too, the spinach and cabbage are such great accompaniments to any dish!

You have to try it. The food is absolutely delicious and home made with love, I could feel the excellent quality of the ingredients and how fresh they are. I specially recommend the Roti, chicken Stew, my favorite. The lady in the shop is absolutely adorable, devoted to her cooking and in love with her culture. I'm in Paris at the moment and even here I'm thinking of her Roti, I would go all the way back just for that delight.

Amazing flavors, amazing service, warm and welcoming environment - can't wait to go back!

Delicious chicken stew w rice and peas. Plus super friendly proprietor. First visit of many!

Since Roti hut in shepards bush hardly opens any more, I've been searching for a shop selling proper Caribbean Roti as shops such as Roti joupa, Umana yana and bajan spice are not up to scratch. This shop was recommended to me by a friend who lives in the area and I will be going there on a regular basis. Lovely smell when you walk in, surrounded by cleanliness. Items in the shop decently priced and tasty. As soon as I left the shop I regretted not buying more. I ordered a mini curry goat Roti with potato and pepper sauce.... The pepper sauce has lots of pepper so be careful lol. Also there are vegetarian or vegan options to explore. The lady that owns the shop is absolutely lovely. You can also call to pre order Roti skins without the filling. You can't collect them without ordering the day before though because a limited amount is made each day. Also if you want to get your Roti wrap, try and get there before 3pm because they tend to run out quickly

Brilliant Trinidadian rotis, all freshly cooked. Go on a Friday to try the chickpea doubles. Excellent food and really reasonable prices. If you like spicy food then definitely try the homemade hot sauce!

I attended this restaurant for the first time and the service was amazing, I had some lovely doubles, actually the best I’ve tasted in the city as I’ve been to a number of Trini restaurants, such as the Shepard’s bush and one in Clapham north and none of them compare, I will be attending again to buy a full meal for me my family.

My partner and I are Vegan so always get the veggie roti. It never fails. Delicious and full of spice!

Great food really affordable and very good service Recommended!

Tenía un llevar comida de Chaconia y era realmente bueno y sabroso

Really excellent freshly made Trinidadian food - think Jamaican meets Indian. Go easy on the hot sauce

A really small Caribbean take-away/cafe tucked into the depths of Deptford. It's run by a super lovely lady who cooks all the dishes (curries, rotis and much more) fresh every day. We had the chicken curry with rice and peas (and she even added some delicious extras for free such as pumpkin, spinach and cabbage). It's super reasonable too at £4.50 for a large plate of food. It's even on tastecard (who knows why but it was so super cheap that we didn't want to use it!). We'll be back for the goat curry!
