Ma Petite Jamaica in Camden

Absolute delicious food! The oxtail was the best I've ever had! The ribs also were 10/10 the dumplings were also delicious! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Cant wait to visit again :)

Mis amigos y yo hacemos un almuerzo mensual sin fondo. Esto fue lo peor en lo que hemos estado. Nos fuimos sobrios. En primer lugar, soy celiaca y tengo alergia a los frutos secos. No tuvieron ninguna opción para alimentarme debido a que se me acabó la ensalada... El ponche de ron estaba en una gran jarra de la que iban por ahí vertiendo. Sin embargo, el servicio fue horrendo. Tuvimos unos 3 golpes cada uno. Mis amigos dijeron que su comida era seca y de mala calidad. Además, llegamos a tiempo, 2 : 45 pero no obtuvimos nuestra primera bebida hasta las 3 : 15 . Dejaron de recargarnos a las 4: 15 lo que significaba que el sin fondo era solo una hora. Tuvimos que pedir cada recarga. Entendemos que estos lugares están tratando de ganar dinero, sin embargo, era muy obvio las esquinas que estaban cortando. Calidad barata, cara y no alegre.

Excellent food and attentive (if relaxed) service. The fish and eggplant curry was fantastic - one of my top curry dishes ever, with more than enough rice and bonus fried plantains. The jerk chicken wings were a perfect balance of flavor and juiciness - dip the fried plantains in the sauce for an extra treat. The ackee and saltfish appetizer was also great - the dumplings on the side were solid but very tasty. We also managed to get here for happy hour, where we got 2 for 1 birds of paradise, which were also delicious. Hard to go wrong with this small but lively restaurant tucked into Camden - so many options with such promise.

My friend and I went here to try a new cuisine. I ordered the chicken stew with rice and plantains as a side but my friend unfortunately could only have Cassava fries due to the lack of allergen options. I was sad that in the end I was the only one to eat. The waitress was very nice but I have to admit that I was very sad because in other restaurants the chefs once they know the allergies wash the pot thoroughly and prepare a separate dish for my friend if he is not too busy and this restaurant was not when we arrived.

Tlhe food was lovely as always, especially the rice and peas. The jerk chicken was spicy as hell, just how I like it, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart. They had a good selection of dishes on the menu. Oh, and we got a free drink for writing an honest review. The music was on point, but the decor could use an update. Overall, it was a great vibe.

My first time here and trying Caribbean food , I was blown away I’ve never had a stew or dumplings like it ! Our waitress Ebony was a leech balance of friendly and professional - the bartender made the most amazing pina colada it’s a must try ! I work in hospitality myself and this was exactly the kind of place I look for on a night out , the atmosphere was so nice and relaxing all staff smiling , I will be recommending to everyone , thank you for a lovely meal . See you soon !

The food was really good the staff where so nice made it a really good experience first time going there and I am definitely going back .

We were welcomed by Ebony, she was very friendly, she was the only waitress there and ran the restaurant seamlessly. Romeo was the bar tender, he mixed gorgeous cocktails. He helped Ebony on the restaurant floor in between mixing. I can't thank them both enough for making our night so enjoyable. The food was delicious, with lots of choice. I can't wait to go back and try something different.

I had a great time , Romeo and JaySean were very on point , they customer service was immaculate , drinks were flowing . Vibes immaculate

Amazing food so tasty and well presented first time visiting but will definitely not be my last. Staff were so friendly and couldn't make you feel more welcome and the atmosphere is great with the music bringing back memories and the decor could make you think you were at a beach bar eating

Charming waitresses, Great service and great food. Definitely would recommend.

Can't reccomend enough. Fantastic curry and rice & peas in a great atmosphere. Server was Miki who was very energetic and friendly.

Although we didn’t book the table we got seated , Kemar provided us with a good service , tasty food , nice mocktail good atmosphere a busy restaurant I will advise to book a table I will definitely come back.

Gran comida y servicio ha sido antes y todavía tan bueno como siempre, sin duda volveré de nuevo espero con interés mi regreso pronto

If you want authentic Caribbean food and drinks then Ma Petite Jamaica is the place to visit. The ambience and decor makes you feel like you are in the Caribbean. Excellent service from Ebony too.

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

Mi visita aquí fue la mejor! sin duda volveré. Romeo, Mickey, Jaysean, Ebony y Eshe ¡me alegraron la noche! El servicio al cliente estaba en su punto y cada uno de ustedes compró algo diferente a mi experiencia. Para no olvidar al chef... la comida era increíble. ¡La cola de buey era casi tan buena como la de mamá! Volverá Defo. Visita a la gente, no te arrepentirás!

Increíble comida y servicio al cliente. Tuve la comida de salmón que era tan sabroso y bien condimentado. La comida de este restaurante es auténtica cocina caribeña y los cócteles son insuperables. Agradecimiento especial al chef Romeo, Mickey, Jaysean, Ebony y Eshe. Has hecho nuestra velada tan especial. El personal es educado, amable y acogedor Las vibraciones siempre son buenas en Ma Petite Jamaica!

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

The best bar staff in the world

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.

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.

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. :-)

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!

Great vibes? Good time, lovely service

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

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

El mejor lugar en Camden, gran personal, buena comida, grandes bebidas, todo genial, ninguna palabra de mentira recomendaría mucho, Antes no me gustaba beber hasta que vine aquí 😍 5 Estrellas todo el día

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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🔥🥂

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 ✨

very nice food and very friendly service by romeo and jaysean

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

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

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

Perfect place to enjoy music with a cocktail !

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 💝

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.
