Jerk chicken wings and oxtail stew were full of flavour and fall off the bone! Piña coladas were also great, I do wish the spring rolls serving was more than 2 rolls though but otherwise had a nice time here

Absolutely amazing food with an authentic taste, a real gem. Venue great, tastefully decorated and location good in the heart of Camden. Both our starter and main dishes were cooked to perfection - we had the prawns marinated in a chilli sauce and deep fried battered squid (very tasty), then jerk salmon and escoveich fish (both very lovely dishes), and I would recommend a visit. However, whilst the staff were all attentive to our needs, the inappropriate choice of x rated bashment music was out of character for the atmosphere and feel of this restaurant and spoilt what would have been an all round 5 star experience. Overall, I will return as the food was soooo good. Thumbs up 👍🏾 to the chef.

Return visit to this intimate restaurant in the heart of Camden. Lover's Rock pumping out of the sound system, setting the atmosphere. Spacious seating area outside. Friendly staff quickly seated our party of 5 indoors, as it had cooled down a bit and once ordered, food was served quickly. Rum cocktails and Brownstew and rice, Saltfish Fritters, Jerk Mixed Grill, Oxtail Stew, Rice n Peas, and the thoroughly recommended Curried Mutton with Rice n Peas is a firm favourite 😍 Ma Petite Jamaica has become our go to yard food restaurant in Camden and have learned they've now got a restaurant in Shoreditch! Try it, you won't be disappointed 🖤💚💛

what happened to service with a smile! I suppose because it’s a £6.00 and change cover charge you don’t have to bother. Food was not as flavourful as I would have thought and over priced especially as they use chicken boiler chickens for their no curry curry!

Rollos de primavera de pollo idiota era agradable, pero no tenía sacudidas en ellos. Las alas estaban recalentadas y duras. La cola de buey y salmón estaba cubierto en la salsa marrón no es agradable en general la comida no era agradable. Lo mejor fue el ponche de ron. No volvería.

We made reservations at Ma Petite Jamaica, a charming restaurant nestled in a vibrant neighborhood of London, just a short stroll from our hotel. The area is bustling with life, featuring an array of quaint cafés, diverse dining options, and unique shops that invite exploration. Upon arriving, we found the atmosphere warm and inviting, though the service was noticeably slower than expected, despite the place not being particularly crowded. However, this minor drawback was easily overshadowed by the delightful flavors of the dishes we sampled. The cocktail menu was equally impressive, featuring expertly crafted drinks that perfectly complemented our meal. Overall, it was a satisfying culinary experience amidst the lively charms of the neighborhood.

This was way oversold on TikTok. We were first sent to the wrong venue which we could not stay at as they wouldnt move the booking. So we trekked over to the other venue losing 30 mins of our bottomless timer. The food was tasty but the starter was just 2x chicken wings and the main was 2x small chicken tenders and 2x mini ribs which were mostly bone and cartilage. You had to pick between rum punch or prosecco and weren’t allowed to change once you began. You weren’t allowed to take your drinks into the smoking area which was a big let down and warning to smokers. I personally would not return or recommend as there are many better bottomless options available elsewhere.

Came here in March. I did not enjoy my experience at all. The host was impatient, very very passive aggressive with his comments towards us. I felt rushed to order and rushed to eat my food by the host, even though we had booked and were not there for very long. The meat I recieved was cold to the touch as if it were refrigerated and then heated up! I didnt even feel comfortable telling the staff this... :( The host was screaming at 2 ladies to leave who had walzed in for a table, causing an uncompfortable scene on my arrival. The food was basic and bland and didnt have that recognizable carribean flare. The staff looked so miserable and unbothered. I left the restaurant feeling really dissapointed and underwhelmed and I will not be going here again. I dont reccomend visiting either.

The bartender must have seen that we were foreign and ripped us off. We ordered 3 Stella's and the barman handed the machine to my friend to pay but hiding the price a little, and I saw £20.00 indicated but it was too late my friend had already paid. It's not possible that it's that price because it's not a multiple of 3 even though we ordered 3 beers. Also, I saw another customer ordered a Stella and he paid £5.50. Be careful!!!

My mum is really fussy when it comes to Jamaican cuisine. We booked it for her 70th and she (an amazing chefe herself who normally cusses off everone else's carib food) complimented the two chefs in person. She loved it there, as did the whole extended family. You will not regret eating here.

Foods nice, and thats where it ends unfortunately. The two asian girls that served us acted like they wanted to be anywhere else but there. One of them extremely rude during the whole service making me, a woman from Jamaica, extremely uncomfortable. She was aggressive with the way she spoke, not only to us but other people that came in and threw her hands in our face in an rude manner when told an item was not on the menu. She said in the most dehumanising manner that they do not serve it and that it’s not on the menu, but it was there written out with no note saying it was unavailable. Im not even going to get into the drinks matter other than we ordered them as soon as we sat but then after asking 3 times they didn’t arrive until a new member of staff came in, we asked him and he gave them to us. Its a shame the man turned up to work as we were leaving as he had great energy and our experience would’ve been a whole lot different if he had served us all night, probably would’ve been a 5 star review. Due to the attitude of this woman it made for an extremely uncomfortable meal and we couldn’t wait to leave. I know people have their bad days at work but I have never been so shocked at the way someone has acted towards customers. I am a Jamaican woman from London and it made me feel so angry that I could not dine in an establishment that is celebrating my culture, instead we felt like we we're unwelcome the moment we set foot in the building. I’d suggest maybe employing people who are in touch with the Caribbean culture.

After seeing generally positive reviews here we thought we'd give it a try. The Positives are that they do have a long and varied menu in terms of both food and drink. However when it came to the grills, particularly the jerk, everything was layered in the same BBQ style jerk marinade which didn't taste that moreish. I had the jerk mixed grill and all the different types of meats had the same BBQ coating over it.. it would be better to have different flavours between the meats. The worst was the lamb kofta which really shouldn't be on the menu at all. The other friends complimented the curries they ordered and my favourite was the dumpling which were perfectly sweet and crispy. Service was on the whole ok. Would I go back, maybe not, but if u are in Camden it's probably your best bet for caribbean food.

I was truly impressed with the server, Kamal, he had complete control and was organised and balanced. He controlled the whole area so well done to him. The food arrived quickly and was full of flavour, hot and spicy.. exactly as I expected it to be. I ordered curried mutton, rice and peas with coleslaw and plantain. Price was £30.38 I would definitely visit this restaurant again, they are doing a wonderful job. Curtain road seems like a very busy road, I travelled on my motorbike and managed to park it around the corner on a neighbouring road.

Atmosphere seemed ok didn't get a chance to sit and eat as customer service seemed a little haphazard... on entering the venue, the young lady was outside having a quick fag break, she eventually attended to the 2 of us, she stated no seating at the moment but could try next door... so we ventured next door stood by the bar saw there was a vacant table for 2 that we could see the person at the bar called for assistance for us but the young lady seemed very disinterested went into the main restaurant and didn't return so we left....

This was such a cute, quaint place! The food was tasty! I enjoyed the lobster Mac & cheese balls with the Jerk chicken wings. I knew the meal was going to be excellent as there were two older male Jamaican cooks in the back that look like they throw down all the time! Kisses to the cooks!!

We arrived at the restaurant and waited to be seated, it seemed like not one staff member saw us so another customer told us to stand over to the side and make ourselves seen, They took long to serve us and also left me and my partner with no drinks for more than 20mins, the food is not a reflection of Jamaican food, the stew chicken was very salty which made it unenjoyable, the roti had no chick peas in it; it was basically just bread, the server was inappropriate and told my partner twice he had something for her as it was her birthday, his words was “ I have something for you but not that” which left us confused, and by the end of the night he did nothing to celebrate for her which left us confused as to why he made such a big deal about it when we first got there. For the price of the food it did not live up to expectations, I would not recommend this place if you are looking authentic Jamaican food and a good experience, we have ate from many Jamaican restaurants and this sadly is the worst The 4.7 star rating is not a good rating for this restaurant. The whole experience was poor and we will not be visiting them again. Only good thing was the Pina colada drink.

La comida estaba por debajo del estándar y no era un sabor del Caribe; sin embargo, Jamaica. Pedimos salmón porque ninguno de los otros platos de pescado estaba disponible a pesar de que solo eran las 7 pm. Teníamos el salmón. Era una mancha negra en medio de un plato frío nadando en salsa, la salsa no era idiota y en el Caribe no cubrimos nuestra comida con salsa. La comida parecía calentarse brevemente, pero no estaba caliente. El entrante, que era pescado salado y albóndigas, era ligeramente mejor, pero la harina utilizada para las albóndigas las dejaba esponjosas en lugar de las albóndigas firmes tradicionales. El personal no estaba atento, nuestro servidor no sabía lo que estaba disponible y siguió corriendo a la cocina. No preguntaron cómo estaba la comida o cómo nos va. Lo cual es básico en hospitalidad. Reservé en línea respondiendo a la pregunta de que estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños, pero ni siquiera nos ofrecieron un pedazo de pastel o un feliz cumpleaños. Nos perdimos la hora feliz por unos minutos y nos dijeron que tenemos que pagar el precio completo a pesar del hecho de que tenemos que esperar para averiguar la reserva! Cuando nos íbamos y miramos en la cocina entendimos por qué la comida era tan pobre. Los cocineros de un hombre y una mujer eran tan miserables. No estoy seguro si son compañeros pero ambos tienen caras jodidas de ira. Y eso es lo que la energía que ponen en sus alimentos. Tuvimos un entrante dos tuberías principales y 4 cócteles que no valía £ 100

Food was lovely and was suggested to get oxtail and the brown chicken which were both delicious. Cocktails were good as well. However we were rushed off our table in 50mins. As were just finishing up our plates were collected and the bill thrust upon us, the wait or said they needed the table. Completely understand that you need to free up space but we had reserved the table and was a disappointing way to end our experience.

I had this restaurant in my "want to go" list and when my friends and I were in the area we decided to stop by for dinner and check it out. We didn't have a reservation so when they recommended the spare table by the door with the cold draft we took it without complaining. Then they just abandoned us there for 20 minutes. They didn't take our order, not even for drinks. We were trying to get someone's attention but nobody was around. Eventually, we just took our jackets and walked out as it was obvious we would have starved. Overall, the service was bad and unfortunate. I would have asked politely the customers to be patient if they were that busy. The asian buffet around the corner with the low google rating welcomed us, sat us down immediately, got us drinks and it hit the spot. I would recommend that one instead!

Food was alright however the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional. We arrived 9:15, and within minutes of sitting down (whilst my girlfriend was in the toilet) I was forced to take our full order by the waiter as the kitchen was closing, however they were constantly letting new people in the door. This was the first red flag. Then when waiting for our starters to come, they decided to bring our mains at the same time. We had no time to eat our starters before the mains went cold. Also half of our food didn’t even turn up, and when mentioned to the waiters they had a rude attitude and we were met with comments like “so what?” “You didn’t even order it” etc. When bringing all of these issues to the attention of the “manager”, we were given a whole £2 off the £100+ bill. Absolutely laughable Food is decent but my god are the staff incompetent and rude. Especially the female waiters, they have an extra attitude with them. Do not go here.

Me and the misses stumbled upon this little restaurant while exploring Camden and very much enjoyed our little Jamaican date, we stumbled upon it around 5 minutes before it opened and asked if we could sit down, Jake the server told us to sit down and took our drinks order and it was brought out to us at a great speed and both cocktails were delicious , once we were ready he took our order and gave it to Shane (the cook) whom prepared an absolutely fantastic meal I had the Jamaican chicken curry which was amazing and my misses had ribs which she said the sauce and ribs was incredible. We will hopefully return to this amazing little restaurant.

Pedimos demasiada comida casi terminamos todo, tomamos cócteles y cerveza caribeña y la cuenta para 5 de nosotros era mucho menos de £ 200 incluyendo propina.

Ma Petite Jamaica in Camden offers a delightful taste of Jamaican cuisine, paired with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The service is commendable, and while the food prices are reasonable given the location, you might find yourself paying a bit more for their delightful Guinness punch. The decor stands out with its vivid Caribbean colors and artistic renditions of Bob Marley’s "Redemption Song" lyrics, creating an immersive dining experience. If you’re in Camden and craving authentic Jamaican flavors, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I'm looking forward to returning!

I had high expectations for visiting Mapetite and was let down majorly. Firstly I live in south London so it was quite the journey for me, especially when going out, which I don’t very often. The service was slow as there was only one person serving 4/5 tables. You had to wait ages to order food and drinks. This let down the experience entirely and the restaurant wasn’t even at full capacity. Secondly, as a pescatarian a few fish options were unavailable to order (Escovitch fish, peppered shrimps - which I wanted, no burgers or wraps either) another major let down, so I resulted to ordering starters. The server wasn’t informative either, didn’t ask if I had any allergies to be made aware of. Also didn’t make us aware that the restaurant had a promotion of 25% off, only saw that after we left. I had the lobster mac and cheese which had more mac and cheese than lobster/crayfish, it was dry and disappointing. There were only 2 sauces to have with my order, ketchup or mayo, again disappointing. I expect that at a fish & chip shop or chicken & chip shop, not a restaurant charging higher prices. My friends had mains but they aren’t pescatarian and they were satisfied with their meals. I ordered a lemonade and for £3 and it came in the tiniest glass tumbler - not great value for money. Therefore having to order another drink. I went to use the restroom and the first two cubicles had no toilet roll or hand wash. That’s not a great experience when you’re bursting to wee. The restrooms were clean though, so I’ll give you that. There was no where to dry your hands either. No hand paper towels or hand dryer. These things matter and shouldn’t be overlooked and checked before opening. Overall, I was displeased with my experience and will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to others.

The service was poor, waiters seemed ill equipped, to deal with the task of serving customers, even though a waiter was given one order twice the main course didn’t arrive, no apology. Also quite a lot of the menu not available wraps, burgers or dumplings. If you needed service it felt like you were bothering the staff, rude and indifferent. Food was average, will not be visiting again.

By far my family's favorite meal from our week in London. It sits in an alley, right off Camden High St, a couple blocks from the Camden Market. It first got my attention because Jake the building is called out as a Rum Bar, and.. well, they definitely don't disappoint on that front! Lots of great rum options to choose from and walk away very happy. My family decided to stay for food, and we were just blown away by the depth and richness of flavors. My wife is of Caribbean decent (from Costa Rica, which also has a large Jamaican decent population on the Caribbean side), so we were already partial to the cuisine in general. I had the curry goat and my wife got the Oxtail Stew. The curry was definitely great, but what really blew us away was the Oxtail Stew. We'd never had anything like that. HUGE depth of flavor, buttery soft meat that just melted in our mouths, and just enough spice to wake up the palette and make the meal even more memorable. We loved it so much that I researched recipes and made a version for ourselves for thanksgiving. It took 2 days to do it. It came out great... Definitely not as good as the one from Ma Petite Jamaica, but was at least a worthy reminder. Long story short.. this food was so good, we're trying to figure out how to re-live it from 5,000 miles away. Sadly, we didn't get pictures.. we were too busy eating, drinking and enjoying!

Extremely disappointed! Service was poor! Food was unfulfilling! Serving staff were clearly irritated when asked simple questions relating to the menu. There were no fish dishes available which left my daughter with no choice of main. When asked for steam vegetables we were advised there wasn't any!! The lobster mac and cheese bites and sweet potato and pumpkin fritters were pre-cooked, stodgy and cold. The mains were microwave heated and still came out cold. My first and last experience of Ma Petite. I would not make recommendations for this restuarant.

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 !

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.

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

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.

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!

It's really worthwhile to order a selection of lighter dishes, or starters, and share them. It makes for a really good dining experience at the Giraffe. Have also tried the breakfast, and that was really very good.

Este es un lugar encantador para disfrutar de un café o una cerveza o vino, uno de los pocos bares café buena real en Londres. No es del todo un pub como tope, pero tampoco es todo como una cafetería que prim cierra a las 4:00 pm. Tiene algo de buena música, un maravilloso y relajado ambiente y algunas cervezas, dulces orgánicos. Es también independiente y algunos de sus beneficios reinvests. Sin duda un lugar especial.

This is a functional cafe, it has no charm but the tea and cake were fine. They use paper cups with plastic tops which I was not impressed with. So I would not visit again until this has changed. Staff were grumpy.

We have been loyal customers since 2007. We do not go as often as before, however it always s guarantees excellent food and service. Over the year, the restaurant changed significantly, it used to be very nice and stylish, not anymore, however in my view it is still the safest restaurant in the area, you won't have bad surprises, and ultimately it is good value for money! We went with the family

I recently visited Guanabana with some friends after hearing about their Sunday Caribbean Roast, and I’m glad I gave it a try. The atmosphere was really pleasant — I especially enjoyed the open layout of the space and how the sunlight streamed into the room, creating a warm and relaxed vibe. We were seated quickly and given menus right away, which set the tone for a smooth dining experience. I opted for the jerk chicken roast and a lychee mocktail. The roast was decent — not mind-blowing, but satisfying — while the lychee mocktail was a standout: refreshing, flavorful, and something I’d definitely order again. The real highlight of the meal, though, was dessert. The Biscoff cheesecake and tres leches cake were both absolutely delicious — perfectly balanced and a great way to end the meal. Portion sizes for the roast were generous and should leave most people full and happy. All in all, it was a nice experience and a good spot for a relaxed Sunday meal with a twist.
