This was the first time I have ordered from here and boy I was not disappointed. I ordered through Uber Eats and the Jerk chicken was missing. I contacted the store and the guy I spoke to was amazing, and brought me some more Jerk personally, talk about brilliant customer service! The mutton curry melted in your mouth and everything we ordered was so fresh and tasty. This will definitely be my go to now when I’m in need of some Caribbean cuisine. Would highly recommend xx

As its just around the corner from the gone but not forgotten Finger Lickin Jerk Chickn' great things were expected. This place delivered big juicy jerk wings, tasty curried mutton and delicious rice and peas. Everything arrived hot and the portions were huge. Only thing I could fault was the pot of hot sauce was quite small and I like my jerk chicken slightly over charred with a bit more pimento smoke, but that's a personal preference. This place is excellent 100% recommended. Had a delivery takeaway so can't really score atmosphere, but I'm sure it would be good.
