Ma Petite Jamaica in Camden

Came with my friends this morning got lovely bottomless the food was banging and the staff act like they known you for ages and they on point you have to use your own brain 100/10 coming back for sureee!!

The atmosphere. The music. The food. The service. Everything was a 10/10

Great food and great service always. I recommend the brown stew chicken!

The best bar staff in the world

I've had mixed experiences dining here. The first time I got the most delicious crispy friend dumpling but sadly, it has been soft on the outside on subsequent visits. However, I've visited a few times now and appreciate the 10% off for deal at lunchtimes. The cocktails are lovely and I've enjoyed the her chicken and fried plantain.

Such a cute little spot right in the bustling Camden town area. I only stopped in to get out of the rain, but I'm glad I did. Loved the music and cultural decor. Would definitely come back. Everyone was friendly.

Food was delicious, very friendly staff and really good vibes!

Best service ever. Thank you Jaysean for making my experience special

This was a great experience! We enjoyed the food, drinks and service. The bartender was phenomenal 😊 Would highly recommend.

Went for lunch to Ma Petite Jamaica and the flavours were there! The drinks were exotic, sweet really worth it!!! We totally recommend it! Music made the environment more vibrant and fun! Naj, Romeo and Jay served us, and so lovely!

Me and my pals had such a great start to our evening here. Brilliant, lively atmosphere with so fantastic drinks. I have to recommend the black river ice tea which was DEVINE. Shan was an absolute pleasure to have as a server and she kindly offered me a free birthday shot. Loved every minute and will be back again!

Top notch flavours, lovely cocktails, great service and wonderful ambience! We look forward to our next visit. :-)

Great vibes? Good time, lovely service

The decor, the vibe & the food are all 💯. Truly like you have transported to Jamaica, and the servers are quite friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back!

Atmosphere was great, amazing music and vibes. Food was good as well

Food was so good! Music was so good + the decorations. It was a vibe. Def recommend to come! Shout out Jaysean!

Great food, atmosphere and the best service! Thank you!

Lovely place, perfect atmosphere, lovely food! The staff is very friendly and amazing!!! The music was so good, love it 🩷

Great colleagues, great drinks, great food, great environment and atmosphere, definitely recommend the rum punches

Best place in Camden, great staff, great food, great drinks great everything no word of a lie would very much recommend, Used to not like drinking until I came here 😍5 Stars all day long

We love coming to Ma petite, good music, good food and atmosphere. Jay Sean served us and was lovely and attentive.

Went here for my anniversary meal.Very nice staff and food, highly recommend!!! The cocktails are also amazing, especially the jamaican mule

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, we even were given a free shot for our anniversary! Food was also delicious and cocktails great too. Would definitely recommend

Lovely experience & the greatest food from Ma Petite! Amazing service from JaySean!

Always a good time and best food when we visit Mapetite! Jaysean was our server and couldn’t have been more helpful, thank you so much!

Walked in, ordered the jerk chicken and asked if the rice could be replaced with plantain. The waitress said that was fine and took the order. An hour later, no sign of the food. Everyone else around us who had arrived later had already been served. Eventually, I see the waitress look through the order receipts and realise she’s lost ours. An hour and 45 later we are given our food and I am served jerk chicken with rice. After explaining that I requested plantain, she said the kitchen didn’t do this. This was fine but no apology was given at all for the extremely long wait and instead she handled our table over to the female bartender who gave us our check and was a lot more polite, but again, no apology. Food itself was quite good but not worth the extremely long wait and impolite waitress

The atmosphere and service was nice,I ordered the mix grill and mac and cheese balls starter the food was not up to Jamaican standard then I saw it owner was Polish, worst bit was I never checked the hygiene rating which l always normally do which is only a 2, wouldn't go back.

Jaysean gave us such a fantastic service. Will definitely come again. Jaysean and Romeo took great care of us, much thanks to you both!

Made sure to get there in time for happy hour and the cocktails were the absolute best!!!! Also had a portion of jerk wings and they were so flavourful 😍! The service was impeccable, Jay Sean and Romeo were so professional and friendly!

Great service and great ambiance.....big up urself

The food was so so good, had the chicken stew and it fell off the bone! The waiters Jay Sean and Romeo were so lovely and took great best care of us. Would for sure come back

jayshen and romeo were so nice and foods were so yum!!!

Romeo and Jaysean was very helpful and friendly. The experience here was beyond great. I would recommend and will be coming back again!! THANKS AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL TIME

The absolute best spot in Camden. Service is top tier!!! Jaysean and Romeo are the best 10/10

JaySean was absolutely amazing! Great host and made our lunch/dinner a fantastic experience! Many thanks also to Romeo too! Will definitely come back for another visit!!! Thank you Ma Petite🔥🥂

It’s an ok place, food is ok, but not amazing. Probably wouldn’t go back here unless I had no other options

OMG that mutton curry! We walked by chance just for a quiet beer and a small dish but stayed for dinner and it was well worth it! Also the saltfish & ackee is worth an honourable mention.

Great vibes in here. Right when you walk in here the music and atmosphere makes you feel like you’re not in London and in someone warm and tropical. Friendly bartenders- Jaysean & Romeo. They make a great pina colada- great presentation and not too sweet.

Naj, Romeo and Jaysean offered fantastic service with beautiful smiles and warmth. A fantastic brunch.

What a great spot to have a break in Camden, Romeo was so nice and the cocktail absolutly delicious

Awesome bar, good vibes and spicy margs is 10/10. Shoutout to Romeo & Jason ✨

Service was amazing, very welcoming, we were served by Romeo and Jaysean. Food and drinks also amazing. Jerk spring rolls !!!!! Highly recommend.

thanks to everyone including Naj Romeo and Jayseam lovely people accommodating a lovely afternoon

Naj and Romeo and jaysean are the best. Get on it.

very nice food and very friendly service by romeo and jaysean

Perfect place to enjoy music with a cocktail !

Très bon repas, bien assaisonné ! Nous avons très bien mangé. Les cocktails étaient également très bons et équilibrés. Je recommande

I always love coming here to eat. I have gone to both the location in Camden and Shoreditch and have enjoyed the food and drinks at both

Food was mid at best and we got spiked so that was fun

Absolute shambles ! Arrived and informed I had a table booking- server acknowledged this and never returned so left standing at reception area so eventually helped myself to a seat at the bar. Once seated to eat, attempted to stop different members of staff to order, they either blatantly ignored you or were rushing around not really doing anything. Ate starters which were flavourless, had to beg for the menu again to order mains, ordered food - waited, waited, waited, tried to get staff attention, ignored, ignored, ignored managed to get the bartenders attention to order food only to then wait again and waited and waited. Eventually stopped black female server to advise that we had been waiting for about 45 mins only to get a rude attitude informing ‘yeah well that the order wasn’t made with me and the kitchen is closed so they’re not taking orders’, no apology or service with a smile - young girl looked old enough to be my daughter and baby girl if you dont like your job, go find another ! Your attitude was so poor - that alone minus the crap food and service was enough to make me not want to return ! Most senior staff member then laughably offered to take the price of the meal that hadn’t been received off of the bill ? Erm yeah, you have to - we didn’t get it. Then had to basically plead/beg and make the young man see the sense that he needed to offer a gesture of good will, to then get a further 15% off the bill due to rubbish service and rudeness. Actually an embarrassment to our culture and definitely WONT be returning.

An incredible place, vibe and cuisine 🇯🇲😮‍💨💜

We only had light bites but very tasty the staff are lovely and friendly.

Exceptional food and amazing service!! Will recommend to everyone for sure!!! A great experience Thank you

Delicious dishes and cocktails in a nice atmosphere with good music and top service. I loved it!

Food, cocktails and service are on point. I was most impressed.

Nice customer service lovely cocktails 🍸 👌 👍🏼

Very nice food good music and service

Great cocktails, delicious food, fair prices & friendly service! :)

Delicious jerk chicken, great Cocktails!

Excellent tidy restaurant! Really delicious food and very nice ambiente!

Food was generally satisfactory. I was expecting more flavour, although found the food to be either dry or very saucy. The service was OK. Although very slow. The atmosphere was just loud, not really enjoyable. Unlikely to return here. I appreciate things tend to cost more in London. Although this was just ridiculously priced for the portion and the quality in my opinion.

Food was okay but it is over-priced for what you get. The staff were friendly but the service was poor. E.g. got my drink order wrong and had to wait a very long time for drinks, the bill, and the waiter to bring over the card machine. The vibe isn't great either. Too noisy inside so sat outside. Probably won't go back given the price and the fact there are so many other restaurants to try in Camden/London.

A below average place ..food is average..there are a number of smaller places and pop up food stalls in London that serves significantly better curries..drinks are sub-standard ...poor service ; staff rushes you and in no mood to give time to finish eating.. atmosphere nothing special..overall poor.

Came with a large group of friends for a birthday dinner in June 2024. We arrived early but were kept waiting to be seated even though the restaurant was not busy. The service was poor on the day (Saturday). They could not seat us all on one table although it wouldn’t have taken much to rearrange the tables for the 12 of us. The service was slow, the food was cold on arrival and the portion sizes were disappointing (curry goat and 1 roti dish). Also they had run out of all the fish options. There was one female server who was excellent although rushed off her feet. The other young woman behind the bar was rude and foul mouthed. She was arguing with a disgruntled customer and was extremely unprofessional in her response. Not appreciated as we had children in our party. We tried to make the best of it for the birthday girl but I for one will never return. Over priced, cold food. Extremely disappointed as we had heard good things about it.

It's a a very nice place. Clean, good food and the staff make you feel like you're at you're at a family member's home. I will go back.

It was an okay experience. I expect more considering it was a Jamaican restaurant.

I have to say it was the best Jamaican food I have tasted for 20 years not only were they friendly? They were also very clean. Thank you very much for a fantastic dining experience. Five stars all the way 💝

Fish and aubergine curry with rice and plantains, absolutely delicious. Served by friendly, chill waiters. You can sit inside, outside, or in between and watch the Inverness Street crowds pass by.

Nice restaurant. Didn't eat there, but had a great cocktail.

Was once really good but has just gone down hill when I went back

Very good food. Sooooo many tender pieces of meat in the mutton curry. Jerk chicken spring rolls were decent. Plantain was nice. Not cheap but it’s Camden so 🤷‍♂️. Would definitely recommend.

Oh wow, what a gem of a restaurant! I visited Ma Petite Jamaica on a whim with my son last Monday before attending a gig at Koko's, and I'm so glad we did as the food and cocktails were delicious! We had a variety of starters and a couple of cocktails each and every single one of them was extremely good. I'll be bringing my partner here in a couple of weeks.

If had closed my eyes, I literally could have been in Jamaica! It was so authentic and a fabulous meal.

This place isn't bad, but it's not the best West Indian restaurant. I was overly impressed with food. Staff was lovely and very accommodating

Food hygiene rating for this place is 0!!!!! Avoid this disgusting place

Great restaurant, food, drinks and service fully deserve the 5* atmosphere was great. Will definitely return

Authentic food and amazing service! Came for a family dinner with my nan and the host went out of his way especially to accommodate her needs and even bought some honey for her mint tea from the shop across the road!

Really cool place. Good drinks and food and really well priced.

Everything was good. I had mac n cheese white rice and callallo with a mocktail. The food came out fast it was hot and fresh. The music was good and wasnt vulgar proper vibes.

My friends and I, recently dined at Ma Petite in Shoreditch and were thoroughly impressed by both the gorgeous cuisine and the impeccable service via Sugar Dumpling (apologies can't remember his name) as well as the Manager and the gentleman taking care of the Bar. The menu showcased a variety of innovative dishes, blending bold flavors and beautiful presentation. The ambience (reggae music from all eras in the background) to the attentive and knowledgeable staff who ensured that our meal was a memorable one, ensuring our satisfaction was brilliant. Oh & the 'Doppi Drink' can floor you. I can’t recommend Ma Petite enough for a fantastic dining experience.” Thank you... L👍 Keep going, You're doing gr8💞

Great tasty food and service. Happy hour cocktails were flavoursome. Lots of food and drink menu choices (no separate children's menu). All dishes however, were reasonably priced and portion sizes were filling. Staff were welcoming, and background music was an added authentic bonus.

Yes Yes and Yes again! Happy hour was perfection. The cocktails were so good (the Rumpolitan and Black River Iced Tea were my faves)! 3 of us then had our meal and baby… yes lawd! Hit the spot and we were so greedy we couldn’t finish the food but took some home! One small ting to note, ah curry chicken not chicken curry! Ma Petite Guyana or wa? Lol but seriously thanks to everyone for an amazing experience xxx

OMG! First of all, this is the best food I've ever tasted in my whole life (no exaggeration) I came here with my partner a few weeks ago and I'm still dreaming about the meal I had. It was a wait to get seated (about 20 mins) because we had no reservation so we sat outside and enjoyed a drink from their joint bar right next door, the staff are very welcoming and extremely hardworking. Once inside the place it's like instantly being transported from busy London into Jamaica, eating at a chilled, good vibes all around relaxed environment. I've never enjoyed a restaurant more, the chefs deserve endless recognition, the flavours and perfectly cooked, fall off the bone meat..DAMN it's amazing!! The rice and peas are flavorful and fresh, no stale rice or dried up beans, just absolute perfection! I cannot boast about this place enough, it's just incredible.

Empty when we went. Food was impressive, service was fine. Seemed to be a lot of 'bouncers' walking in and out which was a bit strange!

We tried to eat here, waited maybe 15 minutes before finally being seated by one of the surly staff. We decided on a couple of dishes, however, we were told bluntly and with disdain that the dishes weren’t available with no offer of similar suggestions. Reading the other one star ratings for this establishment we could definitely relate to similar tales of rude and dismissive service. We decided to leave and go elsewhere - somewhere that didn’t serve up sass as a side plate and spend our money elsewhere.

Super delicious. Had the beef stew with rice and fried plantains. Loved every bite. The drinks were great too. Lots of nice rum cocktails.

Food is amazing the drinks are strong and moneys worth the musick was lit had mw on ma feet

Was only here for a couple hours for some cocktails & a quick bite for a catch up with one of my girlfriends but can easily say will be coming back as it's a great vibe in this place with music during the day and cocktails were amazing. Only downfall is when the female bartender made our drinks they came very pretty with a fruit garnish & straw and when one of the guys done it that was only at the bar briefly, all the drinks seemed rushed ..had to ask for straw ,no garnish etc . Would have appreciated same service every tike we order

Usually the food is really good, and we have been a few times - but today was terrible service. We waited to be served for 20 minutes before we got served by a waitress. We waited a further 45 minutes before another server came up to us and asked what we served. It turned out our order hadn't been put through. Really disappointed because usually it's good food. The server asked if we wanted to order again, but we needed to go or we would miss the movie.

I went to Camden Town and after walking around we decided to take a food break. We bumped into Ma Petite and was caught off guard because the restaurant was completely empty. We decided to not let this sway us and tried it anyway. I visited three other European countries during my vacation and this is by far the worst food that we ate. We started with sharable ribs. The ribs were below room temperature and soaking with a barbeque sauce. It looked like barbeque sauce but didn't taste like barbeque sauce. Although we were really hungry, we didn't finish it. I had "jerk chicken" with rice and peas and my friend had "brown stew chicken" rice and peas with a side of mac and cheese. The jerk chicken was swimming in some unknown sauce. I thought jerk chicken was cooked in a pit and served dry. This chicken was horrible, but the rice and peas can pass. My friend had brown stew chicken and express that she did not like it. We both ate the mac and cheese and were pleased with it. We've been eating Jamaican food all our lives and was so disappointed with the food that Ma Petite provided. This restaurant has high reviews which leads me to the conclusion that their targeted market doesn't know anything about Jamaican food. This breaks by heart because I wanted to love it. Would I return? Absolutely NOT

Very pleasantly surprised by this Caribbean/Jamaican restaurant. Very nice interior decoration, music and atmosphere, delicious dishes. We wanted jerk chicken and we were not disappointed. Excellent sauce and lots of chicken. Delicious rice. Vegetables and fried plantain very good too. We would have liked a little more plantain, it’s so delicious. Very good value for money !

Overall the service and food was poor quality. The menu and the look of the restaurant appears to look Jamaican, but the food is far from how Jamaican food should look and taste. The menu and the look of the restaurant is very misleading. The food is not cooked like how Jamaican food should be cooked and do not taste like Jamaican food. However, the cocktails are good. If you want to taste Jamaican food I would not recommend this restaurant.

Best meal I’ve had in a long time; highly recommend the mixed grill if you like spicy. Good value for money, most of our bill consisted of cocktails, which were amazing too. We will be back for sure.

Waited Way Too Long For Us To Be Serviced Then Waited Long Time For Food To Arrrive And Wasn't Worth £18 with Service Charge

Would never guh back food is not cooked properly an de taste is horrible

Food wasnt the best, it was cooked well but not much flavour. Service was pretty much non existent, but a service charge still put onto the bill. This place is nice as a bar, not so great as a restaurant.

We stumbled upon this bar on a busy, bank holiday weekend lunch time. We were in the smaller bar on the left and ordered a couple of drinks and some food. Nachos were plentiful and well dressed, chili squid was really tasty and well prepared and the macaroni cheese had a nice crispy top. Friendly staff, good music and the food was very good.

Superb experience. I recommend this restaurant in every way. One of the best dishes I have eaten in my life (Brown Stew Chicken). The Naked Colada was also excellent. Top service, very nice waiter and very beautiful setting. Pleasant music. As a French person I am happy to find superb cuisine here in Camden.

Good venue, lovely atmosphere. Decent flavours.

Been here twice Food good good! Jerk pork sweet Oxtail falls from the bone The lobster and crab mac n cheese bites are why I came back! Rum Fun Wirth it! 🇯🇲❤️
