Unfortunately, I did not experience the food. On arrival we were told that the chef had not arrived and an estimated time of arrival could not be given. This was not a good sign so we left.

Food was mostly very nice, though we found the curried goat slightly over salted. Cocktails were delicious.

If you're in London and want to experience delicious and authentic Caribbean food, you MUST come here. It's a small but mighty place. I came here with a few friends who were visiting me in London. The food was absolutely fantastic and the chef was so nice! He even brought us a few free items to try. I live down the street and can't wait to come back.
