Sashas yah suh nice Caribbean kitchen in Barking and Dagenham

Giving every restaurant who fails to deliver every item that I paid for a review so that I remember never to order from them again. I ordered 4 items but only received 2, not for the first time!!!

Quality Taste! I will defo be ordering again!

It was a sunday and it was recommended through tiktok which i went with my sisters to try it. We wanted nice food and good music as it was shown on tiktok. However, when booking a deposit was put down £30 but didnt get any confirmation. I thought ill wait until the next day but nothing. I then had to call a day before my reservation to confirm and that is when I finally got my confirmation and Receipt. The day we went in the decoration was outstanding, very well put together the layout was amazing. But!!! There was no one! Only three people eating and was about to leave. The music was played low but the olympics was on loud. I honestly couldn’t believe it on a sunday around 8:30pm not worth it. The lady who was serving us she was really sweet had a nice smile and was great doing her job. But!!! Again the food came I couldn’t believe, jollef rice was not jollef at all, used with basmati rice?! suya beef was okay not amazing and the curry goat had no flavour. I was thinking at the time are this food even fresh. At this point i was irritated and we decided to hurry and leave so we took away our food (so my partner can try it at home) we paid the bill and left. Come to find out the next day that £30 was not deducted from the bill, i emailed and message still waiting for my response. My sister who ate her curry goat for a bit had been going toilet the whole night feeling sick, that curry goat food that we took away and stored it in the fridge, please explain to me the next day why it went off. That is all

The food was excellent and the service A1 👌🏽 The vibes were flowing with a good playlist going.

The food is amazing, the ambiance was chill yet fun. Prices are affordable. Overall this place can definitely become a new favourite.

Food was nice, aesthetic interior, service was good, our waitress Eugene was so kind and friendly, and ready to help.

Lovely we enjoyed every second of our time it was amazing I will recommend this place 100% and more ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕🎉🎉🎉💋💋💋💋

Hey we just found a Gem in Dagenham!!! Awesome environment and atmosphere. Food is fusion of Afro Caribbean and some West African cuisine. Really banging buonissimo

Delicious food, efficient service and great atmosphere! Will be back again.

Great atmosphere and great food.

The best birthday!! Had a party of 10 it was aaaaamazing...service was GREAT! FOOD WAS WONDERFUL!! LOOOOOVED IT HERE! WASny second time here and won't be my last thank you soooouch foraging my bday special 🎉🎊🎉🎊🥳

Such a beautiful place. The staff were amazing polite and very friendly, and sasha the owner was top tier. We were almost an hour late for our booking and she still the upmost to cater to us and make sure we were good. Food was amazing the vibe was amazing truly a beautiful place and will defo visit again. The portion of food was massive and great value for money. Thanks again for making our evening one to remember

Unfortunately very disappointing, evening at the Sasha Restaurant. Restaurant firstly needs some serious maintenance work, and a make-over. Ladies toilet doors had no locks, on both toilet doors. Both were broken. No privacy, and very dirty with no toilet paper. 15 of us seated, and only 1 waitress to assist, 15 guest. So there was delays after delays. Up to a total of 1 hour an half, to 2 hours to receive their food, bare in mind this food had been pre-orded 3 weeks or more, prior to event. Some did not receive, a full meal, with somethings missing on the plate, from the menu. Which led to more waiting, half an hour later to an hour later, to be precise. Ultimately had to be sent back. Drinking glasses were stained, very old and cutlery was scarce. Terrible customer services, although the waitress did do the best she could. Manager, on the day was not helpful with condescending, attitude. Food was tasteless, cold and poorly displayed. Spoke to manager, on the phone as she was not, present on the day. The owner's response, none other than she was not available to help. And was happy for an urgent, on the phone which I declined. Telling us what happened, when she was not even there. Absolutely harendous, experience. Reuined my friends HEN nights. Will never return.

My cousins Hen night which 15 guest were so looking forward to coming to this restaurant when we arrived we to wait quite a long time for guest whom ordered starters and then guests who ordered main had to wait a very long time myself did not receive my jerk chicken and white rice until 8pm considering that we arrived just after 6pm. Also when the food was served we asked for salt and pepper which we were told they don't have any this is the first restaurant that I have been to where this is not on the table. The nice young lady that served our table was so good as the food being served late was not her fault but she was amazing . But there should have been more than one person serving a table of 15 guest. I definitely won't be going back to this restaurant. And the owner of the restaurant could have come out to resolve the issues that we had.

Great food and good service. Of course I have to give a special shout out to the amazing music

The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Will definitely be back for more stew chicken and rice. Absolutely loved the cocktails!!

Great customer services, friendly staff members, lovely food and the music will have you bubbling in your chair. Also try the chilli wings ( delicious ).

I heard about this restaurant as my daughter went their soon after they opened. I purchased the oxtail meal (which was recommended by a staff member) and a portion of jerk chicken. Whilst the food was edible, I was very disappointed. The quantity I received was Laughable considering I paid £18 for the oxtail meal and by the way, was told I couldn't have steamed veg unless eating in, but I could have coleslaw at an extra cost. The coleslaw was way too creamy and i couldn't eat it. The jerk chicken and coleslaw came to £12, there were 3 pieces of chicken. Firstly, this is not value for money and being of Jamaican decent, I can honestly say the taste was not what i would have expected. Sadly I can't recommend this restaurant because there are other restaurants near by where you will get a much better experience. Taste of Jamaica being one. Sorry to give this review but if you are claiming to serve authentic Caribbean food, then much improvement is needed.

The atmosphere is truly beautiful. Everything was amazing down to the service and food. We ordered the mixed meat platter and it was definitely enough for 2 people plus it was delicious! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves food full of flavour and tastiness. Thank you guys!

Wish I rate 1star, but I unfortunately cannot. 15 guests, 1 waitress. The other waitress stood by the door, not helping her colleague! Service was very slow due to the one waitress working on her own. Food was served eventually with items missing from plates. Up to 2 hours waiting. Drinks were served one at a time, which took forever to arrive at the table. Some foods were inedible and had to be sent back to the kitchen. Would never return to this establishment. Not sure if because the manager was not there, service and food was so poor - If that be the case, her staff will close her business closed down. We pre-ordered in May and visited on July!!!!

I never leave food reviews but this place deserves it. This is my 3rd or 4th order and I am completely obsessed with the food and they have by far the best cocktails. Amazing and exceptional customer service and help during my order process every time.

Very nice food, would recommend.

Amazing food and fantastic atmosphere - A must visit

Great atmosphere, nice authentic meal and great drinks from Ola

The carvery goat meat was horrible with thick jelly layers mostly fat on me would never come here again would not recommend it here

We had a booking of 30 people but Sasha dealt with this with so much ease. I’m sure it could not have been easy but it certainly didn’t show. Everything was well planned and organised so no one had to wait long before they received their food! It was a great night, good food, good music and good vibes!

Food tasted amazing, big portions had to take some home. Reasonable price Nice Interior, good vibes including dj at the weekends Good service Definitely go again

My wife and I visited this venue today and had a nice experience. I'll start with the food. The food was delicious. We had jerk chicken, jollof rice and coleslaw. Peppered prawns, plantain and coleslaw. Fried dumplings and Mac n cheese. The only concern was the coleslaw not being cold enough. This had been already mentioned in a few of the one star posts we've seen since. This needs serious consideration because of the assumed egg content in the mayonnaise. The drinks were really good. We had a fruit punch and a strawberry daiquiri, both alcoholic and not watered down like other places we've been. Next, the service. We originally booked for a few days prior and although their policy stated if you cancel or no show without 24hours notice they may still hold your deposit. They were kind enough to move it to today as it was 2 days. A massive bonus in my view. The guest podium is to the right slightly out of view, so if you don't see a staff member straight away you're kind of left not knowing if you wait to be seated or not. A simple fix by moving the podium where it can't be missed walking in would save the guests awkwardly guessing what to do. Overall the staff were friendly, polite and competent. Slightly inexperienced but, nothing time won't fix. The drinks and food took a while but we're still quicker than we anticipated with the few staff we saw. Finally, the venue itself and atmosphere. All round good vibes. The background music during our time was afro beats and basement. A bit on the loud side but we were right next to a speaker and could have a conversation just fine. The venue wasn't packed but I feel like this venue gets to capacity later in the evening/night. Where we were seated there was a plastic plant that impeded the seating area slightly but again I'm sure it could have been moved if we had asked. In conclusion, while the Instagram presents the venue in a more flattering light than it was when we attended, I can see the potential for it to be just like the gram on certain occasions. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill at around £35 per head. All in all, worth the trip. And we'd definitely come back again!

The service was poor, our waiter commented on my friends weight as she only ordered a starter. Stating “that is why you are so lean” and touched her arm, very unprofessional. The food was not the greatest, as we walked in there was a bucket on beans left out some of which was rotten and there was a bad smell with flys around it. Hence why I did not get rice and peas. A lot of the things we wanted were not available from food to cocktails and shisha which was disappointing as we went there for the shisha. The coleslaw was room temperature and tasted funny, the rice also tasted stale. I would not recommend and feel they need a food hygiene inspection.

I ordered chips and they came with 2 chilli seeds, not sure if this is on purpose? Coleslaw was warm and woman commented on my weight, very strange!

Very strange place in the middle of nowhere. Its not Caribbean with Jamaican chefs its African. Slow service, sub par food. Expensive for what you get. Just no. Edit: the owner is weird.

The vibe was great!!! Music was on point and the food 😍 had to the lamp chops and they were amazing. A big thank you to Beyoncé who was our waitress who was amazing.

Ordered takeout in person after seeing good reviews. We ordered the jerk chicken and oxtail but after waiting for 20min I was told the jerk chicken was finished. This was disappointing and they didn’t have enough oxtail for two or any fried chicken meaning options were few. Hopefully it’ll be there next time as I would still like to try it. Other than that I ended up having oxtail with jollof rice and the flavours were good. I’d give it a 6/10. Service is okay but a bit slower than what I’d prefer.

Great vibes and great food 👌🏽 They even provided a blanket and pillow for my one year old niece who was asleep when we arrived.

It was not all that to be honest. It took over an hour for the food to come and I am still waiting for my £20 refund 3 weeks later because it is not taken out of the final bill. I called couple of weeks ago and was told I would receive, I still have not. The food was underwhelming but the atmosphere was good, there was parking on the street and the drinks were very nice. I husband had lamb chops which was not your regular grilled ones, we missed this point on the menu and it was not pointed out, it is actually the jerky lamb chops which was unexpected and wasn’t great. I had oxtail which was decent but not wow. For the food, I won’t come again but for the drinks Yes. The girls working there were also very nice and pleasant and kept apologizing for the delay. We did not stay for dessert.

Considering there were more staff than customers, the service was poor. The staff were not attentive or observant. The initial service was slow. We were not asked if we wanted a second drink or dessert. They were more concerned with the music playing which got louder & louder. So loud we were shouting to hear each other over it. The mac cheese had more cheese than maccaroni but no flavour. The oxtail although cooked very well and a decent portion, lacked depth of flavour The Plantain was not ripe enough. Easy to find and parking available. I would have been tempted to go again and try something different if the service & atmosphere had been better.

Real authentic African and Caribbean fusion cuisine very tasty and full of flavour. I had the lamb chops with jallof rice and beef soya and I was very pleased with what I received, It was so nice my son tried it for the first time and loved it. I will definitely be ordering again!

Last minute decision to eat on a Sunday well worth it. Great food. Great flavours. Very friendly staff. Music and vibes. Definitely come again. 10/10

Nice atmosphere, Pleasant Staff our waiter was Beyonce thank you for being attentive, good portion sizes and strong drinks. I ordered mixed meats plantain

The service could have been faster but the food was definitely worth the wait. The staff were very polite and friendly.

Amazing food and service definitely coming back

Really nice ambience, the food and service was amazing! A lovely gem.

The food was so delicious and atmosphere amazing. Drinks excellent and staff very attentive. Definitely will be coming back!

Great place, the drinks are strong. Food had amazing flavour. More then enough food for one person. Beyonce was lovely, good customer service. Would come back again.

The food was nice but it took a while to come

We came with a large group and was served very well by Beyonce. She was able to keep up with the order and provide exceptional hosting experience. I would definitely come back again

excellent hot tasty food thank you for complementary coleslaw

over priced crappie food and items missing don't bother waste your money

First time coming to Sasha Kitchen all I can say is wow 10/10🔥. Customer service was good and quick, if your looking for proper Caribbean food this is the spot the atmosphere and music topped it of.

This is really a hidden gem. Good Afro beats playing excellent vibe and the curry goat and brown stew chicken are to die for. I will definitely be coming back

Travelled from Nottingham to come to Sasha, the food was absolutely amazing , Sasha and all her staff were absolutely amazing she was so accommodating and made she we were all okay. The food was definitely a 10/10 we will definitely be coming back here with a few more of our friends and family . Thank you Sasha and team for being so welcoming and amazing ..

Run don’t walk - Authentic as it comes 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent from start to finish Food was just like mama makes Music was a bit loud for conversation Ruth was the perfect host All power to you ao

Flavourful food, great vibe and amazing customer service. This is a regular spot for us now! Highly reccomend the Jerk Chicken too, excellent portion, can't fault Sashas at all.

Delicious food and lovely cocktails! Friendly service

Food here is delicious! Generous portion sizes served piping hot and packed with flavour. Service is always attentive with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. I’ve been here several times now and look forward to many more visits

The place very cute and pretty but we waited nearly an hour for a drink st the start and had to ask them few times for how long it be. By the time food come we wasn't even that hungry.

I don’t know why people here are lying. The food is awful, service is extremely slow and the men who work here are rude and unprofessional. This is why some black peoples business won’t prosper because this is the foolishness I wasted my money on. Travelling from outside of London 2 hours to Romford for this restaurant and was so excited had high expectations but it was truly disappointing. It took 1hr and a half for someone to talk our order. The drinks came first then he came back to take our food order at which they had pretty much nothing on the menu but peppered prawns curry goat and jerk chicken. I didn’t want any of those but the desired dish I wanted wasn’t available. I love prawns but I can’t eat spicy food I just had stomach surgery and can’t eat spicy foods or it can burn my insides and cause serious damage. I kept on saying the the guy who took my order that I can’t eat spicy food are you sure the prawns isn’t spicy. At that point I didn’t even want their food but he insisted it wasn’t spicy and I was hungry already had been there about 2.5 hours at this point so I asked one last time I’m not Nigerian I don’t eat extremely spicy food like there people do. He said it’s pepper but not spicy so I said okay I’ll get that. It finally came out and I tasted it before I tasted it my friend who didn’t want there food said wow she can already smell the spice I said let me not be an annoying customer even tho it’s my money I’m spending. Had the smallest bit and it literally burned my whole mouth and insides I wanted to cry. After him basically making me feel pressured to just get something he basically lied because anyone with a mouth can taste how hot those prawns were I was so upset. Then after when we told him he said he can’t change the dish or take it off the bill because I touch it already my friend tried to argue that that’s just ridiculous but I just left it he brought the bill and multiple times did he try to over charge us then he left the bill after we paid and we worked it out our selves with the receipt and realised he overcharged us by £8 but instead of coming out like a man and apologise to two young females. He sends his nice colleague out to deal with the issue even tho she wasn’t present when he messed up in the first place but she explained his mistake and apologised on his behalf I told her it’s not her fault but thank you. They took the nasty food away and we left. Never coming here again and that waiter needs to be trained how you treat unhappy customers. I’ve been a manger in many restaurants and this isn’t how you handle criticism. Please don’t come here for food as they probably won’t have anything anyway. The drinks were 10/10 I’m going to be honest the food and his behaviour wasn’t good but the drinks were genuinely nice.

Ola was extremely welcoming and helpful with our continuous fussy demands. The food was absolutely delicious and finger licking. I assured Ola the supervisor that he’ll be seeing me frequently. P.s. make sure you try the lamb chops, dem sweet taya

Had an amazing time! Ruth was so hospitable and so lovely! The food was wholesome and amazing vibes!

It all started when I was trying to book a reservation for the 27/3/24 I call and book over the phone because the booking wasn't going through online my booking was taken over the phone and, was told I will soon get an email to confirm the email did not come I had to call back twice asking for confirmation ,so I ended up just booking over the phone i paid £40 as deposit it was not taking of my bill at the end ,I was informed the £40 will be refunded it back in my account. today is the 8/5/24 and I am still waiting for my deposit after numerous calls to the restaurant I wanted to support this restaurant but there customer service made it really hard I will never never go back to this restaurant it's not worth the hassle

I ordered curried chicken that should have come with rice or rice n pea came with neither so I got just the chicken curry delivered I tried to call the driver as soon as he left no answer I messaged no reply not impressed with the curry tbh please be careful when ordering and check order is complete before letting the driver leave !!!!

The food was absolutely delicious! Full of flavour and the portions did not disappoint. We had amazing service from Beyoncé she was super friendly and made sure we wanted for nothing! Will definitely go back!

I went in to grab some good Jerk chicken after the gym to take away and it was straight fire. Mac and cheese was unbelievably tasty too and staff were very nice. Will be back soon, worth every penny.

We had such a lovely time at Sasha’s Kitchen. The food was delicious and the portions so worth the price. The music was perfect and the service outstanding. I definitely recommend and will be back soon!

We had a good moment. The vibes was good. Only one word… Go !!!

Food was lovely, although a little on the spicy side for stew chicken. Would definitely order again, the only disappointing thing was that my order was missing a drink.

This is a real hidden gem !!! “Can be hard to find” But worth the search. Having a chance to speak to the owner and understanding the inspiration behind cooking was amazing. Everything had her unique twist on, was absolutely banging !!! Hands down 10/10.

Amazing Experience Excellent Vibes Food On point for my first time trying it Staff are amazing. Service to customers is defo 5 star.

the oxtail is DELICIOUS i’ve ordered multiple times and the oxtail is cooked well, butter beans are nice and buttery. the rice and peas is nice even on its own. however the food here is always way too spicy. i like spice but i find the spiciness goes a touch overboard at sasha’s. there was chili flakes even in my rice which i think the oxtail is so spicy already it was unnecessary

Lovely food, lovely service, lovely vybe.

Food was really nice, customer service 10/10 especially from Ruth and Beyoncé they are excellent staff

Amazing food and presentation! Thank you!

Not even sure where to start i was so disappointed with this restaurant from start to finish. The people that have given good reviews must be friends, family and or paid promo because this place was a complete joke. We had booked our table paid a deposit and pre ordered our food, can I say that was a complete waste of time, Because we had to give our orders again. Everything we ordered was more than a twenty minute wait. We waited so long for drinks we had to cancel our drinks in the end. The food was terrible the spice took over from the flavours of the food. The coleslaw was warm the list goes on. The price of the food is ridiculous the oxtail was £18.50!!! With that price you would think they caught the ox themselves absolutely ridiculous. The music was very loud if you’re neurodivergent this restaurant wouldn’t be great for you at all. we were literally shouting to hear each other. The owner herself cleared our table every single person had a full plate of food left over and not once did she ask what was wrong with our food. She has no interest in the customer experience she’s clearly more bothered about the money and the fake internet hype. I also say this because instead of bringing the food directly to the table, they would put the food on the bar take videos and photos of the food and then bring the food to the table. The most unprofessional things ever. The toilet floor was flooded with water, there was no soap or toilet paper in the toilet . That takes me on to my next question are staff even washing their hands with soap after using the toilet???!!! I highly doubt it. I wouldn’t advice anyone to visit this restaurant and please don’t be fooled by the well presented videos and pictures on their socials. The food don’t taste how it looks the Caribbean dishes don’t taste like Caribbean food. Hopefully the owner will read this and take this onboard but by her attitude towards our table I don’t think believe she thinks she has any improvements to make and that’s a shame. One good thing I will say is the young girl that is serving is a sweetie and I actually felt so sorry for.

Sashas place is lovely. It has good vibes. My stomach was full to the brim when I left. Good presentation also.

Delightful food. Great atmosphere. Lovely hosts.

Staff were amazing, the vibe was nice, food had so much flavour and the portion size was generous. Definitely recommend to try!

Absolutely disappointed with this restaurant. First time I came here was spot on 2nd time which was yesterday I took my family from Cambridge the food took about 2 hours to get to us the waitress was good the manager or the restaurant owner when we are explaining to her what was wrong she simply looked like she didn’t care. Our food wasn’t not even eaten 2 whole Mac n cheese was still on table maybe 1 bite. tasted like it was from tinned mac and cheese. My mother ordered lamb chops looked like a whole bottle of brownin was put into it. All the food was not even cooked properly my aunty had thrown up after. Everyone had a bad belly.She did not offer anything apart from ‘il take it on board’ absolutely disgusted with this place never would return again!!

The food, drinks and vibe was amazing here and great that’s it’s local so will be back ! Xx

This bajan birthday gal left really happy 🤪. The food was authentic and vibes were lit! Can’t wait to go back again!! Cheers 🥂 🥳🇧🇧

A very welcoming soul food restaurant, the menu was very versed and the customer service was absolutely incredible. Our lovely waitress Ruth took great care of the table and was sure to communicate with us at every stage of the dinning experience. Will definitely be back! :)

Great food. Would come again definitely

Such a nice environment, lovely food & service was wonderful. Would recommend highly

Had really nice time here for my friends 25th birthday, staff was nice, atmosphere really good, great music and amazing food !! Will be coming back again

Recently discovered this secret gem!! The food is wicked!, real authentic Jamaican and African fusion food!! So tasty and the portions are very good, the staff are top notch and the atmosphere is 100% (good music). I highly recommend this place 1000% you will walk out with a full belly :)))

Food was honestly out of this world. Travelled 45 minutes to get there and it didn't disappoint. They went out of their way to buy some dates for us and decorate it with chocolate sauce once they found out we were fasting. The calamari starters came with a sauce which was amazing and this is coming from a guy that doesn’t like squid at all. I was very happy that my friends decided to order it cos I now got a new found love for calamari. The prawn starters were also nice and covered in sauce and it was worth the challenge of getting the shells off 🤣 I ordered the lamb chops with mash and they serve it with coleslaw and jerk sauce, I also got Mac n cheese which I would dip into either the calamari sauce or the jerk sauce with each bite which is the best thing I could’ve done. The meat on the lamb chops reminded me of ribs the way the meat was sliding off. The coleslaw had a sweet taste to it and the mash was of very high quality. My friends got jerk chicken and Jollof rice alongside rice and peas and with the way it looked, I couldn’t help take a bite off their plate. It was proper food and the flavours and spices had my mouth tingling Flavours would be the only suitable word to describe this gem and it’s a shame that it’s abit of a drive for me to get there. It’s also a shame that I didn’t take pictures as im not really a picture sort of guy. Vibes are good and honestly, the staff are really kind and helpful and made us feel welcome. I couldn’t find a single fault with this place.

Amazing suculent food I ordered the lamb chops with rice and peas you can’t go wrong with that the most flavoursome Jamaican food around

Best Caribbean, African food.Good vibes,great music, beautiful atmosphere.

Ola was amazing! He was very attentive and brought us loads of cocktails. Food was amazing and plentiful. I had to take some home. Nice vibe and music. Would definitely recommend
