Guanabana in Camden

I got there late so only got sides I thought it would be easier. I should have got a main dish instead. I got jerk wings, they were too drowned in the sauce which was a bit sweet. The garlic and cheese fries were just like oven chips with some shaved cheese so I was disappointed. My other friends like their food maybe I just ordered wrong things.

Food was delicious and portion sizes were big! Everything we ordered tasted superb and will definitely be recommending to others.

We had a restless toddler and the staff were very accommodating. They assisted us by moving us to a table closer to the exit and extended our booking by an hour and fifteen minutes to allow us settle him and eat.To top it, the food was excellent! Thank you to the staff. My friend and I truly appreciate the excellent service we received. We will be back

This is a popular Caribbean restaurant in Camden Town. We had the full platter. The food was good. However, there is too much sauce on it, and I expected more quantity of chicken, beef, and fewer fries and rice. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly.

Excellent place to go and have a lovely meal 🍴

Went there with my friends and I had a very good time, the food was halal and delicious I would recommend to anyone to visit there

Pretty good Caribbean restaurant but you do need a reservation as it gets busy. Service is okay but definitely needs a host on staff.

Had to pre-book, arrive 5 mins before time and was seated with in 10mins. This was on a very busy Sunday evening. Staff not so attentive, so my advice is to order all you need at once. Food came within 30 minutes of ordering, drinks in 10 mins. The food was well seasoned and good portions. Beef roast Jerk chicken roast Macaroni and cheese Homeslaw There is limited roadside parking, so if you can avoid driving. Good value for money, would go again.

The food was delicious. Great portions. Looking forward to going back

very nice food but a bit pricey for what it is. Definitely recommend a boneless chicken each, cactus fries (unique) and if there’s minimum 4 of you then a Beef Short Rib on top for the variety. Will come to about £35pp.

The food is nice, however don’t if you are more than 15 min late they will cancel and take your cancellation fee, and if you cancel they will take a cancellation fee… The food was nice though.

Fantastic, Delicious 😋 Tender, Melting in the mouth. Place must come and go!!! Beautiful relaxed atmosphere with a touch of garden on the decor at the back.

I recently dined at Guanabana and had a generally enjoyable experience, though there are areas that could use some attention. Food: I ordered the half jerk chicken, which was a generous portion. I even had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The flavors were rich and well-seasoned, just as you’d hope for. However, the presentation was a bit overwhelming; the plate was quite busy, with plantain, cabbage, and potatoes stacked under the chicken, creating a mountain of food. Additionally, there was an excess of gravy. I would recommend serving the gravy on the side and using larger plates to allow diners to control the amount and better appreciate each component. My partner had the sea bass, which came with two well-seasoned fillets a generous portion. While the seasoning on top was flavorful, it seemed more surface-level. Marinating the fish could help the flavors penetrate deeper. Despite this, the taste was delicious. Dessert: I tried the sponge cake, which was a bit disappointing. The cake was dry and only became somewhat spongy when torn apart. The custard did help to moisten it, but it resembled more of a school dinner sponge cake than a traditional Caribbean one. Hopefully, the dessert offerings will improve over time. Ambiance and Service: The seating is a bit cozy; you’re quite close to your neighbors, which can make conversations less private. However, the atmosphere is charming, making it suitable for both date nights and group gatherings. The toilets were clean, and I appreciated the visible kitchen area as you head downstairs, which also appeared well-maintained. The staff were helpful and attentive which I appreciated. Additional Notes: BYOB Policy: They don’t serve alcohol, but you can bring your own. Be aware there’s a charge—£3 for a small can and £15 for a bottle, with other prices in between. Parking: Parking can be challenging. The single yellow lines directly outside are often occupied, and unless you’re visiting on a Sunday, the area is mostly permit holders only. Planning ahead is advisable, as you might need to walk a bit. Overall: A lovely experience with flavorful dishes and a warm atmosphere. I look forward to returning to try the boneless jerk chicken, as we were both torn between that and the roast. With a few tweaks, particularly regarding presentation and dessert quality, Guanabana could elevate the dining experience even further.

Experience not too bad. Staff friendly and helpful. Food portions good size

Great food, fab customer service, the food is affordable too. I would 100% recommend and will be back again.

The restaurant was lovely but unfortunately we were moved half way through eating due to them needing a table for 8 people which hadn't arrived. Nevereless the jerk prawns were really nice and tasty !

Feeling rushed my the staff at some point but otherwise great place

I went here today and the lunch was really underwhelming. I got the beef roast (there was 2 thin slices of beef - barely anything), the flavour was missing yet there was spice? I also got the Kington carrot juice and it was not nice. The vibe was great, music was great, food was flavourless and disappointing and over priced in my opinion. There’s better Caribbean style roasts out there. I wouldn’t waste your time in my opinion.

All the menu is simply dope. I would defo recommend the ribs or roast. Be patient because serving time can be quite long if it's busy. A must if you're in London. And it's all Halal 😆

I will definitely be here again: real soul food , good portions , great vibe and friendly staff. I think they need to redo the toilets, I always take two marks away from my scoring of restaurants if I feel the toilets are not on point.7 out of 10, if the paint the toilets and clean it up this place will be 9 out of 10

I came across this place on Instagram after seeing really great reviews about its Sunday brunch/roast. We are running slightly late, but when we try to notify the restaurant, it was very difficult to get hold of them via phone. So we had to email them but they do respond by very promptly. It’s a very cool space and the layout is really spacious. There was just incredibly loud music and so everyone had to speak very loudly which made it very difficult to just sit down and enjoy the meal and have a proper conversation with someone across you. In terms of the food, it did not take very long to arrive so that was great. My partner got the beef Sunday roast and I’ve got the chicken Sunday roast. I have to say the amount of gravy they give is so good. Most places are quite stingy with the amount of gravy their gift but not this place and I really really love that. The portions are really big, so it was quite a struggle to try to finish it. The Mac and cheese next to us looked really good. It’s a shame we did not order that, but most definitely will be getting it next time.

Great Halal Caribbean spot in Kentish Town, their barbecue ribs are amazing, tried their short ribs platter (£40) and plantains (£6) which were slightly sweet and caramelised on the outside. Would definitely recommend and will be going back to try more. Also got the Parmesan and garlic fries (£7) these were standard but would probably prefer something else alongside the platter. Very good price and filling for two people.

Had the Sunday roast slappeddd!!

Disappointed & Unwell After Dining Here I was really looking forward to my meal at Guanabana Restaurant, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Shortly after dining here, I suffered from food poisoning, which completely ruined my day. While the atmosphere and service might have been decent, food safety and hygiene should be a top priority for any restaurant. Getting sick from a meal is unacceptable, and I strongly urge the management to take this issue seriously. I won’t be returning and hope they make necessary improvements to prevent this from happening else.

Ivy was SO nice & helpful! She attended to everything we needed. She was so lovely & had a big smile on her face.

Ivy was an amazing waiter, she made sure we were well looked after and was very attentive to our needs.

This restaurant is amazing! The food was fabulous, the portions were massive and cooked to perfection! The chef Stephan is a wizard can’t rate him enough! The service here was wonderful can’t fault it at all. The boneless jerk is beautiful and the platter meat melts in the mouth and is super tasty! Can’t wait to come back and try the roast! Highly recommend this place one of the best Caribbean restaurants in london hands down!

Sunday roast was amazing, got the beef (pink) and it was really good and well cooked. Also got the mac & cheese and it was 10/10, best mac & cheese I’ve had at any restaurant. Only slight downside was the service but may have been because it was very busy.

For £34 pounds for a meal and drink, I was expecting a lot more. I ordered the Sunday Roast and despite it looking amazing I was quite disappointed - the chicken was dry and over-charred with not enough gravy to overcome the dryness, I wasn't given any plantain, the potatoes weren't great, a lot of cabbage and carrots. Big portion but not enough quality in each component of the roast. Over-hyped.

The food was delicious and our server, Ivy, was very attentive, friendly and extremely helpful. 10/10 and we will be returning again soon 😊

Chef Stefan threw it down! The beef rib and jerk chicken platters were delicious; well seasoned, authentic flavours and generous portion sizes. The Mac n cheese was also incredible. Excellent service (shout out Mya), atmosphere and overall experience. This was our first time trying this place but we’ll definitely be back!

Food was incredible and hearty, would definitely recommend the all day roast with jerk chicken, Oxtail stew with rice & peas, and the mac and cheese!!

Really good vibe and really good food. Would definitely recommend!

Great decor and atmosphere, and the food was very good.

Food came quickly. Polite staff. Amazing flavours. Nice decor, clean toilets , welcoming head chef very warm

I recently visited your restaurant and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience due to the lack of adequate heating during my visit. We were seated near the front, where every opening of the door let in freezing air, making it very uncomfortable. I noticed that many diners around us were wearing their outdoor coats, which isn’t ideal for enjoying a meal. I requested a move to a warmer area, especially since we had young children with us, but was informed that priority was given to advance reservations. Even when a table became available, we were denied the option to move, despite arriving earlier than the reservation for that table. This lack of flexibility made the experience even more frustrating. Spending over £100, I would have expected a more accommodating and comfortable environment. I strongly recommend that your team consider adding additional heating during colder months or revisiting seating policies to ensure all guests can enjoy their meals in comfort.

Very mediocre food and service. Was really expecting a lot more but left underwhelmed. Jerk chicken was overcooked where chicken was a little drier than hoped. Gravy was bland .. Customer service could be improved on with attentiveness

Whilst there are plenty of top Jamaican takeaways in London, sit down restaurants are a lot harder to come by, and Guanabana do a great job at this. Tried the oxtail, jerk chicken, mac and cheese. Everything was top quality with very healthy portion sizes. Quick and friendly service. Would note that they have a minimum spend of £30 per person

Service and atmosphere was so lovely. Although you could bring your own alcohol, it would have been lovely to have some caribbean flavour cocktails. Food was good. Will return.

Super busy but good service, great food, good music 👌🏽

Fantastic customer service from James! He was welcoming, funny and overall made our stay enjoyable. The food was delicious and portion sizes were very generous.

First time at guanabara lovely atmosphere, Music was good. Food large portions so go with an empty stomach.

After seeing so many TikToks saying how amazing the food here is, I was incredibly underwhelmed and disappointed by my experience. I ordered the roast & calamari. Calamari was very dry and the roast was ok. Literally just ok, not good or great or even nice, and certainly not worth the price. The best thing I ordered was a side of rice and peas. That was perfect, but my friend and I were both disappointed by everything else and certainly did not think this was worth the money. (Came up to just under £50 each with drinks). We didn’t complain as food was not bad, just not what we were expecting from all the hype online. Also the place is quite narrow, so not very accessible for push chairs. We also were not offered a high chair, but I saw they gave one to another customer later in the evening.

Acabo de pedir un pollo medio idiota, plátano, ensalada, arroz y guisantes. SIN SABOR, salsa acuosa. pollo seco, plátano duro. “Homeslaw” se parece a lo que obtienes de un paquete en Islandia. 30 libras por una comida de basura. no VAYAS AQUÍ

Absolutely stunning beef roast with plantain, carrots, roast potatoes and jerk gravy! Large portion too. Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Will be returning next time I am down south.

The food was good, the dishes plentiful! Too bad the card doesn't match the Instagram account, I would have liked the beef but it was non-existent. The rice was a bit spicy for little kids. There was a very nice atmosphere and the waitresses were friendly! I recommend

I don't normally leave bad reviews but this meal really took the biscuit. The jerk chicken island roast was horrible. Half my plate was left uneaten, that's 2 large chicken legs and thighs basically half a chicken. It was dry and hard I'm sure I could've broken a tooth with chicken. On top of this it had no flavour there were seasok in the chicken. Not even basic salt and pepper. Well I couldn't taste it. And the plaintain, how do you get this wrong you simply cut and fry requires no seasoning. My lord, that was somehow flavour and dry too. Maybe it was stale and made earlier in the day not sure how they accomplish this. The worst part is the price tag, god have mercy £55 for the roast, which is extortionate but if the food was good I wouldn't even have minded. Never going back and highly recommend you spend your money elsewhere. if you go, go at your own peril. 2 positives the staff were lovely and welcoming and atmosphere is nice too but the key thing in a restuarant is food and this was a massive let down.

Thank you so much for the amazing food and service. Everything was so nice and the twist on the flavours and the way you uniquely cook traditional options is fantastic! You have a regular customer in me.P.s. Jasmine the manager is the sweetest!

Great halal Caribbean restaurant

Chef Stefan - this was the best Jerk chicken I have ever had! Mashallah I will deffo be coming back ❤️

Love the atmosphere and their oak smoked jerk wings and beef island roast. Bit pricy though.

Went to Guanabana the other day and it’s the best and cleanest Caribbean food around. Felt like home cooked food. I had the Boneless Jerk Chicken - delicious! The service was great. Shout out to Ivi! She served me and my friend and was nothing but kind and understanding. Our food came out in very good time. I’d 100% recommend it to anyone who loves Caribbean!

No contento con el personal, muy grosero y poco profesional con el cliente y con sus propios trabajadores. Estamos muy decepcionados, especialmente viniendo de un personal superior - Jasmine.

On a dreary Sunday afternoon, Guanabana gave a deceitful first impression. Set in a fairly uneventful area of Camden, with 40mph winds whipping around to add to the already miserable grey day, I got outside the restaurant, and it looked neat, but without a whole lot of character, and the front section of the restaurant looking empty. When entering, my spirits lifted, with the upbeat reggae music playing through a Bluetooth speaker in the middle of the restaurant, and as I walked to the back of the restaurant, everything came to life. The loud and vibrant music combined with the energy of conversation from the people around me made me feel like i had walked into a family get-together. I had 2 courses off the roast set menu for £50 (it would have only been an extra £5 for a third course, but I didn't feel like having 3 courses). When going somewhere new, and the food is expensive, I worry that the food might be too refined, and you end up with an excellent meal, but none of your appetite satisfied, I'm glad to say that wasn't the case here. I had the jerk roasted beef for my main, which was truly incredible. The beef was tender and had an amazing flavour from the jerk marinade. The roasted potatoes and yorkshire pudding were nice, and the roasted carrots and fried plantain added a nice subtle sweetness to the dish. But the best part of the dish was the jerk gravy, it had a nice warmth without blowing your head off and had so much flavour, it changed the cabbage and sprouts from a mostly lifeless ingredient of the meal, to a vessel to carry the flavour from the gravy. After maybe half an hour passed, I had the mango crumble and ice cream. Usually, I'd say that this would be too long a wait, but given the portion of the roast, it was definitely needed! The ice cream was great quality, and the mango crumble had a nice warmth and wasn't too sweet. For my meal, a coke, and the service charge, the meal came to about £62, which is a lot per person, but i couldn't say it wasn't worth every penny. If you have the money and are curious, you should definitely come and check this place out.

If you want good food, I can’t fault them my main curry lamb shank was nice and generous portion size would recommend. However God forbid a member of your party isn’t able to come no matter the circumstance you will be charged full price for their booking plus service charge for the absent person which to me I don’t get how that’s justified as service charge is based on the service how can someone who isn’t in attendance pay for a service… I got the cost of living and making ends meet but this is extreme Management weren’t really flexible or even open to finding out why certain parties couldn’t attend so on that basis I wouldn’t come back or suggest this for a booking, a walk in yes but book at your own risk.

Sunday Roast Absolutely Yes Please!! spicy, gravy was saucy and the beef was delicious! Do not hesitate to come here if you like a spicy Sunday roast. Loved everything on the plate cooked to perfection. Would most definitely return. Very loud buzzing atmosphere couldn’t hear myself think which I don’t mind on occasion and I love the open light and airy conservatory top of the ceiling and the nicely balanced mix of plants all around. The mango crumble is recommended 😍🫡. I will be back to repeat, even the drinks I loved it tasted like sherbets and was the right type of refreshing to go with the meal so we got a jug!

Superb Guanabana in Camden is a great spot, my recent visit was made even better thanks to Ivi’s exceptional service. I arrived late to meet a friend, feeling flustered from the rain, but Ivi’s warm smile and chilled demeanour instantly put me at ease. She went above and beyond to ensure our evening went smoothly, taking care of all the little details that truly made a difference. Her energy and hospitality really stood out, transforming the experience into something far more enjoyable. The food was fantastic, but it was Ivi’s service that made the evening unforgettable. She’s an absolute gem—welcoming, professional, and simply a delight to be around. If you’re visiting Guanabana, I hope you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Ivi. She’ll make your experience that much more special. 10/10 Superb

Great place and BYOB welcome. The ribs - which are not always available unless you order in advance are worth the visit alone.

The food was amazing, felt like home and the portion size hit the spot. The options on the menu were very vast and perfect for different kinds of customers. The ambiance was great loved the music, I would highly recommend and come back again. Also the custermer service was very warm and friendly.

Such good food! Absolutely loved everything and the mango crumble for afters was possible the best crumble I have had ever. Just the best of vibes and the loveliest staff. Will definitely be back!

La comida es buena punto y final. Nada por lo que gritar y gritar. Una cosa que diré es que mi comida llegó a temperatura ambiente. Probablemente por la cantidad de gente con la que estuve (como vi a otros recive pipping comida caliente) Recién exprimen su jugo de manzana para que no esté frío. Podrían/deberían poner más hielo en él Los tamaños de las porciones son buenos, sin embargo, ya que un montón de personas terminan llevando parte de su comida a casa Fue un domingo para cenar y estaba muy ocupado El servicio es rápido cuando se trata de sacar la comida, pero lento cuando se trata de aclarar. Valor - es una buena relación calidad-precio ya que las porciones son grandes. Aprox. £ 19 por cordero al curry con arroz y plátano de guisantes y ensalada. Así que sí en general 3

The food (Oxtail & Jerk chicken) was alright - not the most flavourful though. If you are in the area and craving Caribbean food - check it out. At the same time, it’s not a place I would recommend solely travelling (a long way) for.

Food was great in flavour and presentation. Portion sizes were good, but then they'd have to be with the prices as high as they were. Anime art was a nice touch 👌🏾

I've been to this place twice now and can't fault the food. You get a large plate of delicious food. First time I had the jerk chicken roast, with all the trimmings. 2nd visit I had their vegetarian dish which was so nice. Will continue to visit and try other items on the menu. Pity they don't do jerk pork. My only criticism is they put a time limit on your time there. Puts pressure on eating your food quickly.

Food wise great, but the customer service have to improve. It is seriously damaging your reputation.If someone books for a particular slot then they should not wait too long or should be treated properly. We were told to wait outside in the cold and it was not in a nice way. Also, just once someone finishes the food, one should not be rushed to pay the bill. Food is great but the rudeness of service staff was deeply disappointing. Please improve on this aspect, you do serve great food."

Great food, service a bit slow but understandable as it was very busy. Quite hard to have a conversation without shouting

I would like to start of with saying I will definitely come back to Guanabana Restaurant again and again, after visiting with my friend today. I highly recommend this restaurant, everyone should try it out if you are in Camden. The restaurant is clean both from outside and inside. All the staff are very kind, attentive and provide excellent customer service throughout, they check on you to see if you are ok which was nice. I ordered Jerked Roast Beef (well done, my choice) and a glass of orange juice, I'm very satisfied with my meal, it was 10/10, the Jerked Roast Beef was flavourful, you can tell they cook everything from scratch it does not taste stale, it taste fresh and homely! The portions are huge, it is sufficient to fill you up for the day and worth the price. The orange juice was nice and fresh too, again you can tell they actually squeezed the oranges rather than give you the ordinary orange juice. When paying the bill they gave us sweets that was thoughtful. Lastly I knew it was going to be a great experience they were playing good music, my favourite songs was played so that's a bonus! Thank you all!

Food tasted great, good atmosphere, nice and friendly staff too.

Really delicious Sunday Roast and service was speedy and friendly! I will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu!

Overall it was a very good experience shared with friends. The beef island roast was spot on and the jerk gravy had a humming kick, just delicious. The waiting staff could be friendlier, show a degree of enthusiasm and should welcome diners with a smile. It felt like a transactional service rather than enhancing the diner experience.

Interesting place. I'll get the negatives out of the way first:- They don't serve alcohol. You have to bring your own alcohol instead (for which you are charged) and then pay for the serving glasses. This wouldn't be a big deal in the normal grand scheme of things but it is a crushing blow when alcohol means the world to a diner. The enticing tiktoks and vibrant website made no reference to this no alcohol rule. Next there was a slight mess on the floor that the serving staff didn't pick up on. Next the decor disappointed me. The wooden benches and sparce pillows didn't warrant a £14 starter price. Next the platters were swimming in coleslaw. It was visually off-putting. But please please don't get me wrong, there were certainly positives to this place:- It was beautifully warm and cosy inside the place. Next the side breads were the best Ive ever tasted in my life. Lastly the food itself tasted pleasant. It was all OK.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, can't wait to come back

Walked past on a Saturday night and found this really cozy restaurant. The staff were so lovely and the food was fantastic! Well worth the price and would highly recommend for vegetarians as the menu is still pretty big without meat. Would recommend to anyone in Camden/Kentish Town way

Such great good. such a good experience & lovely staff. Went for a birthday dinner and the best menus was delicious. Special mention to Jasmine for organising everything so well.

AMAZING 👏!!! The welcome from Jasmine, James, Stephan, Nicardo and the rest of the team was absolutely phenomenal!! The natural and authentic kindness was heartwarming! Let's talk about the food.... Mac and Cheese....bap bap Jerk Chicken was Jerking... The plantains were the perfect ripeness, the jerk shrimp..shrimped!!! The vibe was soooo right! We felt like family... After traveling from another country and snacking along the travel we needed this soul food. Irie

A group of us (4) had dinner this past Tuesday and everything was top tier. My wife said the 'Oxtail Butter Bean Stew' may be "the best oxtail I've ever had". I opted for the 'Half Jerk Chicken On The Bone' and was not disappointed -- if it was brought out on a slice wheat bread and wrapped in foil, I would've thought I pulled up on a jerk pit in JA. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the BYOB option, but will ABSOLUTELY be back to take full advantage.

Banging! Good portions, tastes authentic. Can bring the kids , caters for all

One of the best Sunday roasts around. Great atmosphere and staff cater to every need. Would definitely recommend

I've ordered prawn for started and it was delicious with the sweet bread on the side verry yummy but the let down for me was the jerk chicken Alfredo , I really wanted to try something new and I was really disappointed the chicken was very dry,hard and cold the creamy pasta on his own were OK. Did not make a fuss to the chef as it was kind of busy. The music was good and staff were very attentive so that's a bonus but this little thing made me not to order other things that I wanted to try and thats a shame.

Food was okay, not my fav. mac and cheese was the highlight, though! staff were lovely service was quick. They play great music so the atmosphere was nice

Iv got to say this place is amazing!!!!. Foot fabulously tasting, value for money ey & staff are friendly & lovely. It's going to be my "kitchen away from home'!

Opted for the Island roast which was the half jerk chicken. Very very nice and spicy. The only criticism I have is that I would have liked the gravy to be served on the side, as my meal came with more gravy on my plate than I would have liked.

The staff were extremely friendly and the service was great. The portions were big and it was really good value for money. Cannot fault it at all, will definitely be going again. We need a branch closer to home in South London please 😉

Can't find any faults, the Jerk Chicken is very good.

Very disappointed by the overall experience. I found the restaurant on IG and wanted to bring my friends. The service wasn’t great at all, and were rude to us. We ordered their roast beef dinner and wanted the beef cooked pink. The meat was way over cooked and fatty. I wouldn’t come back.

I recently visited Guanabana, and having traveled to the Caribbean, I can confidently say the food here is on par with the authentic flavors I’ve experienced. The smoky, well-seasoned boneless jerk chicken was a personal favorite, perfectly complemented by rice, peas, salad, and plantain. Every bite took me back to the islands! The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I would definitely go back and highly recommend Guanabana to anyone looking for a true taste of Caribbean cuisine.

The staff are brilliant . Very accommodating. Although my meal (Sunday Roast) was swimming in gravy which was a bit too much for me. I would prefer the gravy on the side. If I knew this is how it is served I would have requested this. Unfortunately I eat visually, so I had to take it home. Would come back to try other parts of the menu Thank you for the birthday song😁

Went here with my girlfriends and we had a lovely time. The food was great, I had the jerk chicken roast, it was delicious and a good sized portion. For dessert I had the mango crumble, absolutely lovely. The service was good but we did feel the waiting staff could’ve been dressed a bit more professional instead of in jeans, t-shirts and crocs! The byob policy was brilliant, £6 corkage fee which works out a lot cheaper than buying a bottle of wine from any restaurant. Would recommend this restaurant 100%

Beautiful atmosphere, easy going crowd - amazing food! Best Mac n cheese and the food not overpriced! Fantastic all round. Would highly recommend. Stefan the head chef was amazing! Great guy even better food!

Apart from walking in and being told by the asian man ‘ u have till 3pm.’ We’ve reserved a table we know the policy. This was very patronising and rude. Too many stuff hovering about we want to eat in peace not staff waiting to see if we’ve finished eating so they can clear the table..and the layout of the restaurant is rubbish tables close to customers u have to yell and no privacy bcos u can hear everything. Nott to forget nearly every drink& juice NA! Secondly when we asked for a table closer to the windows which were empty the asian man said ‘theyre reserved’ - we reserved a booking too so if tables could be picked there should be details of this online. The place wasnt entirely busy bcos ppl were leaving as soon as theyve ate. Staff saw were bringing bills to tables even though customers havent asked for this but this was to clear tables. Just very rude and rushed. Food was decent. Cramped place, humid no AC. We had our hand fans out. Far better places in camden. This is from someone who visited the first time. Customer service needs work on. Crappy.

Highly recommend 10’s across the board

I was a bit weary after reading some of the reviews but I’m glad I came! The corn ribs were nice as was the lychee mocktail. I also had the jerk chicken meal and whatever sauce they put on the salad, I need more of it lol it was delish! I tried the coleslaw and Mac n cheese but they were to my liking. The staff were very attentive and polite and although the bill was a bit eye widening (lol) the portion sizes were very generous to the point I couldn’t finish my meal and took the rest home! Although I liked it (and the music) and will definitely be back

For my first Caribbean experience, it was great. The food was both tasty and filling, and the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend!

I want to start off by saying the food is great here - some nice flavours and good choice on the menu. My issue mainly lays with the service - it was fairly busy for a Sunday so would give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt but some constructive criticisms would be to train your staff to manage this a little better. We waited 15 minutes to get our drinks and in total around 50 minutes for our food to arrive. Asked the staff member how much longer we’d have to wait around 40 minutes in and they answered “I’m not sure we’re pushing out meals fort he bigger tables at the moment” We then had no other comms until about 10 minutes later when our food arrived. The food itself was great and good sized portions (which is what you’d expect when paying £25 for a roast / £20 for jerk chicken rice and peas). But the whole service and atmosphere felt very rushed - our food arrived at just passed 6 and they had requested the table back for 6.30, we felt as soon as we finished out food they wanted us to leave. Asked for the bill and there was also extras on there that we had ordered and never received. Asked for these to be taken off and bought up the time it took to receive the food and was met with an “Ah ok, no problem”. The restaurant has obviously caught a lot of hype recently and struggling to manage expectations - I used to come here 5 years ago and it felt more warm and homely, I wouldn’t rush back any time soon sadly. Toilers are in awful condition and all out of service bar 2. My advice is - If you want to charge big prices you need to brush up on simple customer services.

Popped in on an unannounced weekday. Food was lovely and the portions were on point.

Food amazing Service was amazing Told all my colleagues it was the best Sunday lunch I had in years...Definitely going to return

Great music, kind staff and INCREDIBLE food. Walk in and they managed to squeeze us in for a roast before another reservation took the table. Food came out fast, but drink selection was slim at the time. Definitely coming again!

We came here as a walk in with a pushair and this blonde lady who spoke with us was extremely rude telling us she doesn't have space for a baby puchair however would allow much larger groups of people be seated who did not have a reservation.

Great experience celebrating my husbands birthday, the service was excellent and food was good.
