Grill Shack & Tiki Bar London in Ealing

A charming, cozy spot with amazing , thoughtfully made food and strong cocktails. I tried the Boss Combo with mushroom rice, a generous portion that easily satisfied with its variety of flavors all on one plate. The Zombie cocktail was both strong and delicious. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, adding to the welcoming vibe. Overall, it’s a perfect place for great atmosphere, lively music, and memorable dining.

Already recommended it to my friends and family. Will absolutely return for drinks! Fantastic value for money which is a rarity in London nowadays! Lovely hosts and an intimate, relaxed atmosphere

What a magnificent meal! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, no better way to spend your Friday night than sinking your teeth into a Boss and Seafood Bass combo! 😋 Wilford and the rest of the Staff provided World Class service as well, and we will definitely visit again very soon!! Highly recommend!!!

We booked days in advance due to a social media post. Understandably it has become popular, but our reservation was not even in their books and we were asked to wait about 20 minutes to be told that we weren’t being served and a member of the team came to apologise and offered take away but due to us waiting we politely turned the offer down and left. We would have liked to enjoy the service but I think what would have helped to have is a more robust system that stops them from over booking. We were a little gutted as we travelled far to try Haitian food for the first time.

Authentic Haitian restaurant. Cozy local place with friendly staff. The food was really delicious and flavourful. I will be back on my next London trip!

Delicious food, great cocktails and great music!

The food was excellent! I enjoyed every single meal I ordered due to the flavour and the right amount of spice. The food did take some time to arrive, but it was worth it, and the staff was lovely.

A must-visit. You will not be disappointed.

Tiki Bar offers a truly unique and authentic experience that transports diners to a small slice of Haiti. From the moment you enter, the ambiance envelops you in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfectly complemented by exceptional music. The musical selection, predominantly Haitian, is not only very good but absolutely outstanding. It sets the mood and plays a crucial role in creating an immersive cultural experience. The food, the heart of the restaurant, is simply delicious. The flavors are spectacular, with the perfect amount of spice to enhance each dish without overwhelming it. The portions are just right, leaving you satisfied without excess. Personally, the flavors transported me back to my childhood, evoking memories of large family meals. It is evident that great care is taken in the preparation of each dish, achieving an authenticity that is hard to find. One of the few objections I have is the lack of clarity on the menu regarding the type of meat used in some dishes. It would be beneficial to specify whether the ribs, for example, are pork, beef, or another meat, as this could prevent confusion, especially for those who avoid certain types of meat for religious or personal reasons. In addition to the food, another standout aspect of the restaurant is the owner's attention. His dedication to ensuring that every customer feels at home makes a significant difference. His hospitality and attention to detail truly contribute to making the experience unforgettable and encourage customers to return. In summary, Tiki Bar is an exceptional place with a cozy ambiance, wonderful music, and delicious food that transports you to Haiti. Apart from the small suggestion regarding menu clarity, everything else is impeccable.

food Is 10/10 rice snd peas are the best. just wish the fried goat was less lean and more fatty gives it more flavour.

The curry road exceeded my expectations! It was packed with flavour, a great portion size of meat included as well. The rice was fluffy and soft! They also gave a side salad. I’m honestly so impressed. I will 100% be back and try more dishes.

10/10 staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I ate traditional Haitian food and it was amazing. Drinks alone are good. Can get pricey in there when U start including drinks but it's worth it

One of the best curry goat I ever had! Would recommend!

I really enjoyed coming here with my family, the staff were very friendly and funny they also brought us the plate of best food 10/10 would go again.

Had an amazing time here again. The host is lovely and the food and cocktails are wonderful. Thank you for making my day special ⭐️

I dined in food was soooo good and the cocktail 🍸 was strong and nice . Would go again very soon

After having read all the positive reviews, we could only hope for the best from this Haitian restaurant. However, most of the experience was regrettable at best. We waited for almost two hours for our food, only to be served with the wrong food twice, both of which being served vehemently by the cook. The food was dry, especially the fritay which was definitely not worth the £24.5 it was sold for. The only up sides of this meal were the ambiance, which was pretty warm and welcoming, and the french waitress who was lovely dealing with the problems at hand. We hope other customers have a better experience than us, however we will not be returning to Tiki bar.

A must visit every time I’m in London! The food, service and ambiance is top notch. Made me fall in love w Haitian food (and Kompa music) 💛

I saw this restaurant on tiktok where the food looked amazing! This restaurant is not far from my home so I decided to give it a go with one of my girlfriends. We were not disappointed at all. The service was impeccable and personable, the food was divine and the drinks were strong! Amazing combo. I would recommend the boss combo and the Fritay so you get to to sample loads of different dishes on a smaller scale. The mushroom rice was amazing, but the curry mutton stole the show. My friend and I are both from Jamaica families and we can safely say that this Haitian curry mutton is better than our jamaican curry. There was something special about it! The restaurant is intimate and made us feel like we were in a restaurant on an island somewhere warm! Will 100% be returning with my family for Sunday dinner. Love love love!!! Thank you so much Tiki Bar!

Had the time of my life, the food is too sweet

Best tiki drinks in West London! Great variety of Haitian food as well

The only Haitian spot in the Uk. I enjoyed the food, I had the Caribbean tapas platter which came with dumpling, plantain, rice and peas and the Haitian delicacies. Plenty of punch too. The staff and owner are so nice. Venue is small but in summer opens up.

Try the mixed pats, it's really good. One portion is enough for two people!

Enjoyed the food and the prices are reasonable but the service was quite slow when we visited.

The best Caribbean food we've ever eaten in the whole of the UK. The Caribbean Tapas was a 10/10, and the portion was overwhelming that it was the first restaurant that I've asked for my leftovers to be packed 😆 🤣 As for the owner, he is top-notch. He is super friendly, conversational, and an extraordinarily sweet soul. We happened to meet and had a chat with a local(caucasian)who said phenomenal things about how involved and supportive the owner is in the lives of children in the community. It was so evident how some children with their parents(caucasians)from football came into the restaurant and were happily him reports of their football match(the most sweetest and friendliest interactions)😊 Lest I forget, the concept of the decor brought back so many memories of our motherland. We definitely felt so much at home, and we will be going back for the good food and the good vibes. Keep it up....all of you are awesomely awesome 👌

Second time coming back here and the service is 10/10 with a smile and very polite. Had a Tropical sharing starter to try everything , which was banging. Flavours galore! Enjoyed the meal, curry goat is succulent and soft and flavourful jerk chicken! Rum punch washed it down nicely ! Would definitely recommend and be back again. Thank you!

Unforgettable experience. Incredible food, friendly staff, and the largest selection of rums known to mankind. Would recommend to anyone. You can tell the owner is very passionate about the business, and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure customers are happy!

This is the best restaurant I've been to in a long time. The food was absolutely bursting with flavour and it had a great atmosphere. I had the seabass with rice and peas, plantain and the dumpling fritters with the exquisite jerk sauce. Will be back many times!!

What a dispointment. We arrived at the restaurant and it was closed. We had to knock the door. We sat near the radiator but it wasn't working. When the waitress came to the table to take the drinks order she got everything wrong. The restaurant doesn't cater for children. The waitress could not suggest any recommendations for the children 😕. Order starters they came slow. After waiting a while the mains arrived. However the prawns overcooked. Curry goat was majority bone and slightly salty did nit fall off the bone. The salad was limp and tasteless. Dispointmenting meal nobody enjoyed it.When the bill arrived it had extra items which we did not order had to complaintwice to rectify the bill. Hygiene in this restaurant needs to be looked at especially the toilets situation. This was a bad day 😕 for the restaurant and the recommendations did not liveup to i have read and seen. Mother's Day celebrations worse than the weather 🙃

Excellent food and excellent service from Ali

Lovely food and good atmosphere, Metin was lovely

Good burger n chips nice price franklin aas a g

Amazing yummy food great customer service from Metin and good service 👌

Excellent experience as always . Great food ,great vibe ,amazing food very reasonable prices cocktails are strong highly recommend

I’m Haitian-American and this was just as good as the Haitian food in New York. We got the tapas plate and everything was phenomenal. The vibes are amazing and the owner was very warm. Honestly a highlight of our trip to London. I’ve told everyone I know who lives in the UK or plans to visit that they need to go here. When I visit London again this will be a mandatory stop. I ate here 8 months ago and I’m writing this review now because I still regularly think about how great this restaurant is

Best Caribbean restaurant around!

Great food, great value. Franklin was great all night

Took forever to serve food, no one particularly friendly, tired decor. Portions on small side. The pork pieces were dried out and tough to eat ( friend ate those) I had the sea bass which was lukewarm at best and a little pink and slimy in places but I wasn’t ill but then again didn’t eat those bits. We were starving by the time it came. The soup was tasty but no meat in it. When I googled the soup it said it included meat. Portion average.

The food is so delicious we keep coming back!! I'm sure we've tried everything on the menu now and it never disappoints! Huge favourites are the goat curry and the dumplings ❤️ Super friendly staff and great cocktails!

Delicious food and nice place- great way to cheer up a grey December day!

Not too bad. But quite a small place.

At the very least come for one rum punch and see what happens. Everything here is top notch as you can see from all the other reviews. But the rum punch 🤤

my friend and I randomly wanted to try haitian food, we were lucky that the only Haitian restaurant in London was this GEM. we got the Caribbean platter to try a bit of everything and the prawns a l’haitienne, legumes and bannann peze. everything was full of flavour and great quality. friendly staff and casual atmosphere but the star of the show was the shrimp. highly recommend visiting them!

Just as tastes as eating in the restaurant

I searched all of London for my people and they didn’t disappoint! Grill Shack has great staff and amazing food. The soup joumou warned me up on the inside in the cold rain, while the legume gave me the nutrient filled vegetables I needed. I had to finish my dinner off with a sip from their fully stocked bar. I will certainly return for another meal on my next trip to the UK. 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 Haiti cherie

I come here regularly but today it wasn’t enjoyable we waited over an hour for the food to be served, my starter came out at the same time as my main and the dumpling fritter isn’t a dumpling in the traditional sense more like a tasteless flatbread Overall a disappointing experience

I am from Martinique, a small island in the Caribbean. It was my first time going to an Haitian restaurant. I had a great time with my friend there. The restaurant reminded me a bit of home. A warm welcome with friendly people. The owner is friendly, and he makes you feel at home. The staff is helpful, professional and friendly. The food is delicious. The atmosphere reminded me the restaurants in the Caribbean, it's authentic. I had a great time and the food was sooo good. Strongly recommend this place.

Genuine Caribbean experience for Islanders AND locals. Amazing jerk (in fact ALL the food). Lovely people, great selection of rum and always an interesting crowd! Loathe to recommend it as want to kerp it secret! Acton's crown jewel.

Now this is a proper restaurant that doesn't make you're food in a microwave.. Never have I taken a friend and they have not liked it and most of them are from the Caribbean..!

I ordered the Carribbean tapas absolutely great tasting chicken ribs wings and the curried goat is to die for not to mention the tiki fries great music and we met the chef lovely place and great staff

Grill Shack and Tiki Bar, is my Essential go to restaurant in London; they serve the feel good food, nurturing the body and soul... As a Caribbean girl flavoursome dishes are very important, and when presented within a tropical decor, it just adds to the experience, allowing me to reconnect with my tribe. I will indeed recommend Grill Shack and Tiki Bar London to anyone looking for a real taste of Haitian Culinary Heritage on a plate😋 👌

My new favorite restaurant in London! Amazing drinks (I got the rum punch) and everything on my plate was very tasty. I got the ribs and chicken plate with a side of plantains and legumes (veggies).

A taste of home away from home 🇭🇹

Grill Shack is so good! We can't stay away. Delicious, delicious Haitian food, wonderful staff and owners. We just love it there.

A diamond in the rough. A very intimate setting but great place to socialise with friends. Waited a little while to be served , but the food was well worth the wait as it was all fresh and made with love. I'll definitely be back to try more authentic haitian food

Fabulous food very tasty and very good atmosphere..cocktails were amazing. Brilliant service. I will be going again

100 out of 10, the space is super clean,food is fresh,the cocktail Voodoo one of the bests I’ve tried in my life,the music is according with the space,the prices are very cheap for the quality of the food/customer service,the owner/staff make you feel like you are at home(comfy),I will come back to this place more times without a shadow of doubt!

Love the food, drinks, people, atmosphere. Such lovely staff. The spicy tomatoe prawns are amazing. 25/10

Delicious good quality food and nice atmosphere

Super !! Cuisine Haïtienne de qualité !

The atmosphere was nice, the cocktails lovely, however I've had better and more authentic Haitian food

Fantastic place and superb host - food was amazing. Definitely coming back

Great service, strong cocktails and yum food

Excellent Caribbean food, perfectly made and sauce flavours just made it even better. Also the staff is great, even though our food was late, they are very nice and seem to take care of each of their customers. Fully recommend.

If looking for the best strong cocktail in the whole London and bouremouth,this is the place to be,the rum punch is a must absolutely amazing,the food the goat curry and rice and the tiki spiced chips 🍟 unique chips 10/10 and then the atmosphere delightful ,was there last month in July going again this week in August

Repas bien préparé, cuisine haïtienne 100%. Personnel accueillant et très agréable.

Amazing food, amazing hospitality. Would highly recommend.

Hidden gem. I had the Veggie Legim with the Diri Djon Djon rice. Everything was really delicious - amazing flavours also very friendly service. I now want to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Chose the mutton with rap x2... Really disappointed with the amount of bone in the mutton... Now wether this was a one off I'm not sure as I've ordered from this restaurant before multiple times and have always been extremely happy... Although they offered to replace the meal I have to make arrangements to collect and as i don't drive not sure how this is going to happen...

Tasty food and the staff were always cheerful and patient with assisting our order. Loved it all, make sure you visit. Also very good prices too. Can’t go wrong

Felt like I was at my aunties house. The food is amazing and the drinks are even better! I can not fault the staff, super friendly and welcoming. I love it here!!!

Found this place from a TikTok video. Reached out to the owner via their IG account and he was super accommodating. Got there and had the griot, diri djon djon, plantains and side salad. Paired that with some Cremas and a Rum Punch. Both were fantastic. The food here is rich in flavor and the customer service is top tier. Will definitely come back again!

Haitian food at its finest!!! My husband and I had dinner there yesterday and the food was incredibly delicious. The cocktails were moreish and lovely. Lovely comfy cosy place with really lovely staff and owners. Have to go back, WILL be going back.

Had a great meal here, lovely hospitality, amazing food and delicious cocktails. Recommend the goat curry.

Good tasty food. Packaged well. Good variety and next to where I live.

We came here for dinner and cocktails. The food is hearty and tasty: the best sticky ribs I've ever tasted, goat curry, fried plantain, sea bass... And the rum-based cocktails are de-lish. It's a friendly, unpretentious place; it was full on a Thursday night, so I'd recommend booking in advance.

I’ve eaten here before So lovely, first time ordering online. Will do it again definitely

The food is amazing I love it I love it I love it 🥰

Amazing food thank u very much

Great food and lovely friendly staff. We had a lovely birthday dinner here.

Perfect food, perfect vibes, the best customer service. Very accommodating.

First time trying Haitian food and we’re hooked! The drinks were great and our favourite dish, jerk chicken, melted in our mouths. Lovely date night experience and we’ll be back to try the seafood dishes

Great food and service. Was there for a friend's birthday and was blown away by how good the food was. The chicken had me coming back for more.

Had a great time. Went for a friend birthday nice and cosy. Staff very nice.

Authentic with a positive vibe!

10/10 one of our favourite places

We had our surprise engagement on the 26th November 2022. The first engagement party to be held at the Tiki Bar which was an honour. Wilford and his team were amazing and the food was excellent. The food was packed with flavour and spice.. especially the prawns!! We had a buffet for our event and had a bit of everything from the menu. Food was flavoursome with a Haitian twist!! Cocktails were nice and packed with a punch. Try and get a least 2 drinks from the cocktail menu and make sure your not driving... lol. Wilford and his team accommodated our every request and were welcoming and friendly. We had 30 guest for our sit down down dinner including babies. We had exclusive hire of the venue and transformed the bar with balloons, garlands and banners. We would definitely recommend this venue for any occasion and will be back!!!

Excellent food taste 😋 delicious and will be going back 😋

Really really great Haitian food! The owner and his staff were very friendly and professional. This is the ideal place to visit when you are in London no matter where are you from you will enjoy the Caribbean dish.

Great food and excellent service. I will be back!

One of my favourite places to eat and celebrate with friends and family. The food is excellent and the customer service is amazing. Wilford is a legend and such a lovely person and his customer service skills are the best I’ve ever experienced. All the staff here are lovely and the food is top notch and reasonable priced. The definitely go above and beyond for you. Try it, you won’t regret it.

Absolutely loved this place, food was amazing, staff friendly and welcoming catered for 11 people even though we had not booked. Definitely a place we would recommend and be visiting again

Your number one spot for Haitian food, ambiance and community in London!!!

Absolutely Amazing service. Staff ensure you have an amazing experience.

We went there to celebrate a special occasion with family & friends. This place is truly a gem! As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed warmly by the staffs who made us feel very comfortable. After placing our orders, the waiting was reasonable. The aroma of rich spices had drawn our attention...Our meals were ready! As we savoured our starters I noticed that it had all the authenticity that you will expect of Haitian Cuisine. We ordered tiger prawns..OMG it was out of this world. It had this spicy kick and sweetness blended which made this dish exceptional. We also shared a platter of barbecue chicken wings which were truly 'finger lickin good' munch munch...and as for the mains we couldn't get enough of the grilled chicken, curry goat, spare ribs and marinated pork 'À la créole ' which was served with rice & peas and homemade coleslaw. We washed down our meals with these fabulous cocktails rum punch & zombie a must. What a feast we all had! Be prepared the portions are generous. I strongly suggest to visit this amazing place with your loved ones. I am certain that you won't not regret visiting this restaurant.

Only Haitian🇭🇹 Restaurant in London! Excellent Customer Service! Phenomenal owner who goes above and beyond what one would expect. The ambiance is very welcoming and you can tell making customers happy is 100% a priority. The food!!! WOW 🤩 absolutely filed with enticing flavours I have never had! Haitian food have won my heart ❤️ West london is fortunate to have this place but even though its 2 hours away from my home, it’s WORTH the drive,train ride, and even a Santander bike ride 😂 and if I do have the kids , they will know where to feel home because my fiancé feels home every birthday 🇭🇹

Wow what can I say the food was worth the wait we came to dine this evening 19/11/22 The food was 10/10… it wascooked with Love! We had a platter served over our two tables! Celebrating my uncles birthday! Compliments to the cook and also the waitresses where so lovely and friendly! Curry goat - soft and nice Rice and peas was so lovely Jerk chicken wow wow wow Plantain fried with love Only thing missing was salad and coleslaw and a bit of Mac and cheese would of topped it … I can’t wait to come back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The music was a tad loud but created such a lovely Caribbean atmosphere! Perhaps more staff needed on a Saturday ❤️❤️❤️

Saw this restaurant being reviewed on IG and I was curious about Haitian food, being a fellow Islander 🇯🇲😊. Took my Haitian friend who was visiting London and it was so worth the journey. everything we ordered tastes freshly seasoned and prepared. Juicy Jerk wings😋, potent cocktails👌🏽👌🏽. Had to leave earlier as they had been pre-booked for a Birthday party, would have loved to stayed longer so I'll definitely go back again.

Absolutely recommend! Ended up here because the pub down the road said the kitchen was closed and I am so glad it was… the prawns and the sauce they came in were delicious, the staff listened to my intolerance to peppers and made sure my meal was made fresh. My partner had the goat curry and also thoroughly enjoyed it! Amazing service and great ambiance, merci :D

Très bon accueil et super ambiance, les plats étaient delicieux et le haitian rhum punch était excellent. Je recommande absolument.
