Mama Rita's Kitchen in Plymouth

First I need to say I have visited the market stall and the restaurant on many occasion and I love the food here. I have tried a fair few dishes and sides and they never disappoint. I think the owners are Lovely, always really friendly...

As the title says, the food was great, but there was all sorts of swearing and stuff coming from the kitchen and the waitress wasn't the most friendly. We ordered drinks and the waitress went out of the restuarant and brought them from around the...

Few of us came here as we wanted to eat out for lunch somewhere different, and this place was definitely the right choice! All the food was freshly prepared with good portions of food to which it tasted very nice! The service was very friendly...

Great value. Food cooked to order from scratch so piping hot and seasoned to suit. Good tasty dishes. Really nice place. Friendly staff. Recommend a visit

Amazing food! Very friendly, good value. My new fav place in Plymouth! A bit hard to review as theres actually two locations: 1) Little kitchen unit in the market hall where one end is open to the public so you can sit at the counter...

Great chilled out atmosphere, delicious food and lovely friendly service. I had the goat curry, cooked beautifully - opted for medium spiciness and it still decked me, but I sweat over a korma. It's brilliant home style cooking / street food and well worth a...

Great food, great hosts. Keep trying to try every dish on the menu, half way there and have not been dissatisfied once. Amazing flavours and nice spice.

I have only just got home and am already wanting to tell everyone about this amazing place! A friend brought the 6 of us to this place after her great experience and I could not be happier! Beautiful succulent dishes at such incredible value, I...

Picked up a late lunch here. Wasn't eating as I was not hungry but was tempted by the menu. Three of us ordered three different dishes and all of us were happy! All you could want from a market stall meal. Fish & sweet potato...

The food we ordered was cooked to perfection. My fish was pan fried, with crispy skin, delicious vegetables and was perfectly spiced. The chef will ask you how hot you want your food. I asked for mine not too be too hot with spice and...

Visited my daughter in Plymouth and came upon this gem, wonderful Caribbean food...thank you so much I will be back

Had wanted to visit for ages, as the smell around the market was so inviting, but had always found the stall packed. Yesterday I went a bit later and was able to get a seat and wasn't disappointed, the curry was perfectly spiced and cooked...

Waited an hour for an average chicken wrap, soggy sweet potato fries. Staff were rude, gave our drinks away to people ordering after us. Didn't have any jerk chicken but waited 45minutes to tell us. Won't be going back, wouldn't recommend.

If you need spicy and tasty food this is the best place in Plymouth. The food is fresh and delicious.

I stumbled across this little Gem on a business trip to Plymouth spent the evening eating very well cooked prawns and mutton curry finished off with a few overproof vodkas. Which i would also recommend. Although i was the only one in the restaurant i...

A table of five early in the evening pushed the timings a little and the ordering was a little chaotic but the food was really good, we ordered all of the starters to share and all had a different main. Lots of flavour and spice...

I've been looking forward to try this place as I love being adventurous with my food. I just needed something to grab n go so decided on the jerk chicken wrap. I was a little apprehensive when I'd seen my chicken was being nuked in...

Delicious Caribbean food, served up home style. Surpassed my expectations. I had the goat curry (pictured) which was really tasty and something new for me. My husband had the Caribbean chicken curry which was equally delicious! We wanted to try the salt fish starter but...

Visited tonight after finding on Google. We are huge fans of curry mutton/goat and was so good we're going back tomorrow

Went there last night. Table for 4 and the meal was absolutely scrumptious. So reasonable and friendly owner

Having read the reports we were visiting our son in Plymouth and decided to give it a try. We arrived on time for our pre booked table. On admission of the staff the tables are big and not a lot of room between guests. We...

Only popped in for a quick lunch! Stunning flavours, taste and service. Really friendly staff. A must visit when in Plymouth. Mutton and goat curry is amazing! Really large menu so can suit all tastes!

Nice atmosphere; friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh, vibrant and full of flavour. Plenty of character to boot! Will definitely be coming back again and again.

A real spicy treat!!! Sunshine food on a rainy day. We enjoyed salt fish ackee and a tofu special with rice and peas. Excellent food as always with plenty of flavour. Thank you we will be back!!!😀🌴☀️🍍👙

We came into the Afro Carribbean Pot, after walking past a few times, and looking at Trip Advisor reviews.We came to Plymouth on our holidays, and we will be back again, to try out this little gem. I ordered the jerk chicken, without bones and...

I've eaten here three times in two days it's that good. I had the brown stew chicken for the first time and it was excellent. It's a gem of a place!!

We love independent restaurants and this one is a little gem ..,will be back for sure The food is freshly cooked.tasty and good . The atmosphere is lovely and the price is really good. Afro Caribbean cuisine food in Plymouth we are enjoying your flavours...

A must for anyone visiting Plymouth & loves food, their food is amazing. Fist visited them in the Market back in January & couldn't wait to try out there new restaurant. All staff are friendly & nothing is ever too much trouble. My favourites are...

I wasn't aware there was a change of venue for the ACP - had visited the market stall once before. I thought the cafe lacked some of the buzzing atmosphere of the market and it did feel a little like a private party, although it...

Well priced, good honest food which tastes amazing, only slight criticism is that since moving from the market setting to a shop outside the price has increased and some of the relaxed atmosphere of the "street food" feel has been lost

This new café/restaurant has a very limited menu which concentrates on the jerk meats and some spicy fish dishes. Seating around 20 persons its very small and quite basic, café like. The staff are pleasant and service is quick, at least on the night I...

Unfortunately, unlike the other reviewers, I found this place to be fairly average. We went on a Thursday evening to the cafe (not the market stall). Unfortunately they do not serve alcohol, which was not clear upon entering the restaurant, and I still am not...

Asked if the goat curry was gluten free.They didn't have any goat curry so I had the mutton curry with fried plantain. Very helpful with finding out what I could eat. As someone who cant tolerate gluten, this will be a place I will keep...

Weve tried the new shop and the quality and flavours are just as good as the market with the added bonus that it's opened much later. It was closed this week as the owners were on holiday so we went to the market stall as...

Heard about this eatery and decided to give it a try for lunch , was very impressed with the very friendly greeting /service and the food was delicious. Never had this type of food before but was wowed and will definitely be back again. Will...

Walked around Plymouth looking for the restaurant. When we found it was closed we popped into the market to avoid disappointment. Curried fish and sweet potato lived up to its amazing reputation. You can request the heat of your dish and the teenagers were happy...

Be aware that the new Market Avenue cafe is closed just for this week but that all the food is still available during the daytime from the original food stall in nearby Plymouth Pannier Market.

Having read the fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor, this was top of our list for places to eat whilst on holiday.Let's get the negatives out the way first - I had expected a restaurant and it was a cafe, so we decided to take away as...

Enjoyed Kofi and Efua's food before in both the Market and at a previous Flavour Fest, when they had a stall selling curry goat and a few other things. It's good to see that they now have a restaurant, albeit a bit small, so can...

Walking through the market food looked good pulled up a chair had a jerk chicken salad best food I've tasted for a very long time 10/10 friendly staff too a must for everyone to try this little jem

Wow what a great little place.food was amazing great rice and peas. Took us back to our wonderful holidays in the Caribbean nice bit of music well with a visit

I went to this restaurant with my husband after seeking something new to try. If you like a bit of spice you will not be disappointed! We shared the chicken pieces to start and then had the Caribbean curry followed by rum chocolate brownies and...

First time I'd eaten goat curry; I've always wanted to try it and wasn't disappointed. Loved it and will be back to try the rest of the interesting menu. So great to have a new place to try with out-of-the-ordinary food. Fantastically friendly staff who...

Very nice authentic afro-caribbean food. Gorgeous flavours. Great portion sizes. Lovely friendly service. We will be back soon. You must eat here, faultless in my opinion !!!

We took a gamble after looking at Tripadvisor, not our normal choice of menu, Wow so glad we did, what a super little place, fantastic food, fantastic couple running the show. Lovely to see the pride in food and a family owned and run restaurant....

The Afro-Carribean Pot now has an eateries a stones throw from its stall in the market with the added bonus that it's open later and with the same delicious food. We gave a fabulous Jerk Chicken with rice there. Well done !

It's just what plymouth needed something new and fresh. They deliver every time with creative and traditional dishes. Also the people are really great kind and put a lot of passion into there food

I tried this place out of curiosity based on my love of international cuisine and its standing as number 1 restaurant in Plymouth. On arrival, the staff were very friendly and continued to be so throughout. My friend and I went for the Ghanaian stew...

I hope neither suffers as a result of the other. The very small restaurant is really good and and we have been one evening. But we discovered the snack bar last year in amongst the very lacklustre market and we liked the character of that....

Best food in Plymouth by a mile. We went there after work on a Saturday they had run out of a few things but that's to be expected during the first few weeks. Staff were friendly and I recommend the fish and sweet potato curry...

We popped into the market today for lunch to try this place, you do have a little wait as the food is prepared fresh to order . We ordered the Jerk chicken and Jollof rice meal, very interesting tasty flavours to the rice and the...

We visited here after seeing it was the top eatery in Plymouth. Boyfriend had the curry and loved it, I had a jerk chicken wrap and some sweet potato fries. The wrap was delicious and not too spicy. The sweet potato fries took a while...

I have always enjoyed using the food bar in the pannier market. They have now opened a small but very good restaurant just outside and down the road. First rate flavoured dishes produced fresh in what looks like an impossibly small narrow kitchen. Friendly staff...

This little pop up gem has the tastiest food I have ever eaten. It deserves every possible praise. The staff are friendly and engaging, the menu is simple and inclusive but most of all the food is wonderful , a concentrated flavorful delight . Rita...

Wife eats hear every time she is in Plymouth and told me to try the curry dish as I love currys so I poped in as I was in Plymouth my self and had the Ganha curry I ask for it to be spicie and...

Great food and friendly and helpful staff.Great value for money and excellent service,the day I went there was people queuing for a seat to become vacant.Would definitely return.

Now set up in the defunct premises of a defunct beef chilli caff between the chip shop and motor accessories shop. ACP are obviously doing well. Adjacent market stall holders believe that the restaurant will be extra rather than replace the stall. I hope that...

The Chilli Shack (once on Tripadvisor but now closed) occupied the stall in the Pannier Market which has since been a spectacular venue for the Afro Carribean Pot. The Chilli Shack moved to Market Avenue where sadly it only survived for a few months. Now...

Brilliant atmosphere and brilliant food, what more can I say..... Will definetly return when next in the area

Best food I have eaten in Plymouth! The staff are hard workers and are extremely polite and helpful. Being so close to the kitchen provides an intimate relationship between chef and customer. The only downside is the size, sadly disallowing all of the walking by...

A fantastic restaurant, which freshly prepare a variety of amazing tasting dishes. The staff are very friendly and welcoming - would recommend to anyone and everyone.

I had the prawn curry and my partner had the jerk chicken - so fresh and tasty cannot recommend it enough. really want this as an evening takeaway!

Amazing food!!!! Can see why this is number 1 so quickly. Really fresh, good prices and nice staff. Only thing that would make it better is if they opened later for evening take away. So tasty 😋

Great place to go for a bite to eat on your lunch. Great selection of food, and very friendly staff. The jerk chicken is awesome

First and foremost the best, if not the only Caribbean food available in the area cooked to excellent quality with generous portion sizes and value for money second to none. The service is fantastic and very accommodating. My mothers birthday was coming up and she...

Myself and a friend came here, they sponsor an athlete that I know. I'd probably normally walk past a stand in a market, but as he'd said it was good, we thought we'd give it a go. I was a chef for ten years, my...

Amazing food and really friendly staff. Came here and had a king prawn curry, when I ordered I was asked how hot I wanted it which was nice. Definitely will be coming back here in the future.

I adore this place, virtually every aspect of it. My only criticism is the unannounced addition of a sad little ramekin of janner coleslaw added to the side of my otherwise idyllic plateful. Please get rid of it or flag up plenty of warnings. I...

There is only 1 bad thing about this place and that is that I spend so much money here now ha! Food is amazing, service is great without a doubt my favourite place to eat in the city.. I find it amazing that even though...

Excellent market authentic eatery lovely fresh tasty food prepared in front of you by pleasant smily people. Great value well worth trying. This is the future for plymouth pannier market. Without trip advisor we would never have visited this place or the market. The quicker...

Eaten here a few times, and the standard is just top drawer. What makes this all the more satisfying is that the standard is maintained with no real competition. Ackee, saltfish and rice and pea is as good as any I have eaten... and better...

Walking through the market with my boyfriend and not expecting to eat there (me being a little snobby at times) but the smell of the spices were so enticing, we had to take a look . . . . The menu looked good and the...

Went here with my boyfriend after noticing it wondering around Plymouth market. Having never had carribean food l, naturally i was intrigued. I had the fried chicken and fried rice with coleslaw, it was cooked to perfection- i barely stopped to breathe. My boyfriend had...

A small cafe with a big heart. Stools around the outside of the stall to enable you to eat there. I had Carribean fish curry, my husband had goat curry. I was asked how hot I wanted it when I ordered. I chose medium heat....

A great little stall. They cook your meal as you wait and are always friendly and chatting. A family run place with seating for 7 and the food is as hot or mild as you want it. Afro caribbean tastes with curry goat and jerk...

It was a very nice change to try this type of food and the portion was good. I was not keen on the seating as they were high stools. People very nice and tasted very home cooked.

This is a brilliant find - lovely food, exceptionally friendly service and a great lunchtime treat :-)

Went to Afro Caribbean Pot for lunch after work and had a spicy Ghanian stew with rice n peas. The flavours added to this dish were diverse and I would say it's a good place to eat if you like street or bar food.

Plymouth Pannier a Market is a bit run down, tacky and dour. Despite effort over years to find a bright idea to bring it up to speed and recent news that there is cash for a refurb, the place just doesn't inspire or attract. Such...

Had some great food at this place in the Pannier Market. A real gem and lovely friendly people too. Try the goat curry, delish!!!

Came on a recommendation and confirmation here. Great home cooking in unfamiliar style. Lovely cook. Friendly and welcoming. Brightens the jaded market hall..

Great Afro/Caribbean food at very reasonable prices. We make it a weekly event as it is such great value. It is amazing what is created in such a tiny space. They have a huge following so expect to wait for seating. Take away is also...

It's a great little place. Tasty, cheap, friendly and quite unexpected. The lady who cooks is happy to explain some of the unusual dished and flavours.

Hidden within the covered market, this is truly one of Plymouth's gems. It's unassuming presence hides what can only be described as food which utterly puts a smile on your face. The service is polite and mellow, with a laid back attitude. The food is...

Great place to try genuine Caribbean cuisine and to chat with a couple who own the place. They are very friendly and welcoming. Food is great tasting and fool of flavour. As it's very spicy and fiery cuisine it is great thing that they always...

Heard good reports and we were not disappointed. Expected food to be pre-made but instead both of our dishes were made from fresh on full view and to your liking. I had a spicy fish and sweet potato curry which was excellent. Portions very good...

We decided to try here on the spur of the moment a couple of days ago for lunch, having been considering it for a while, and I have to say, we weren't disappointed. My husband had the jerk chicken with jollof rice, and I had...

I've eaten here on a regular basis and each time the food is cooked to order and is fresh! I thoroughly recommend the jerk chicken and also the fish curry absolutely delicious! It's beginning to become quite busy and popular! The owners are a good...

I regularly eat here and the food is excellent. For me this place is ideally suited for a quick lunchtime meal. A basic stall in the market that serves various curries , jerk chicken etc. The owners are happy to tailor the dishes to how...

Wandering round the Pannier Market of a weekend reacquainting myself with Plymouth having moved back after some time away - found this place. Definitely worth checking out - really tasty food, done the way you want it by the guys working there and some top...

Worth checking this place out. It's in the top north west corner and close to some other snack bars including the Thai counter. The friendly helpful lady chef can knock up a really tasty snack in a few minutes. There are high stools or you...

They don't seem to advertise. I came across it after a disappointing visit to the nearby fish section of the lack lustre pannier market. My curried mutton lunch was served surprisingly quickly by a welcoming personable lady and it was hearty, tasty and an old...

Found this last month while cutting through the pannier market. Would have just viewed it as a curiosity had not there been an enthusiastic throng filling the counter and stools. Picked up a quickish takeaway snack and had to find a bench outside on the...

Lovely couple running this little hot food outlet. Very eager to please offering to include or exclude ingredients as you wish. Freshly fried Sweet Potato chips... brilliant! Arrive with a smile and tasty spicy food served fresh. Perfect if you want to avoid Macdonalds!

Small scale but very well done. Friendly lady. Fresh food produced fairly quickly and very good value. Some novel and tasty even hearty dishes. A good reason to venture into the otherwise drab depressing pannier market.

I was introduced to this place recently by a friend and having been back twice I can definitely say that this place is awesome. The curried Goat, rice and peas and the jerk chicken are lovely. Having grown up with a Jamaican step father who...

Fabulous fresh food with great flavours, served by people who are passionate about the quality of their food. This was my first visit, it will not be my last. Well worth the walk to the bottom of town.

Not sure how to describe the cooking here. Certainly in the home made category and with some interesting flavours. Need to come back when we have more time. Lovely lady cooking and already a steady stream of punters. Think they need to refine the take...

This site in the Pannier Market used to be occupied by the friendly and busy Chilli Shack which moved a month or so into new bigger premises outside the market on Market Avenue. Almost within days of the unit becoming empty it was replaced by...
