   Being of Caribbean ancestry I know what great authentic Caribbean cuisine is and this place delivers and then some. I dined with a born and raised American and he was as impressed as I was. My Saltfish fritters were perfect the dominant ingredient was incorporated immaculately into a dish that was full of gorgeous flavours yet light and the perfect way to begin our meal. My friend skipped a starter and went for the Jerk Chicken with a side of Roti. I ordered Curry Goat also with a side of Roti. We did not have to wait long post my starter, and the mains arrived in good time. When we began eating any conversation was paused as we were totally taken by the beautiful main dishes. This is the best Curry Goat I have ever eaten. Perfectly spiced not too hot at all yet maintained the integrity of the dish. This is just as well as I am sensitive to overly spiced food. Our Roti was cooked to perfection and as a Trinidadian by descent I was really impressed at how deliciously authentic it tasted, though I thought £6 for one was a bit pricey so it was just as well it was great. My friend absolutely loved his Jerk Chicken which he has enjoyed elsewhere but thought was exceptional this time round. The meat in my dish was so tender and contained no bones at all. A common complaint about Curry Goat is that it can be 'bony' I am happy to say not at Roger's Kitchen. I finished off my meal with a dessert, Caribbean Rum Cake with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream to round off what was a fantastic night in a lovely setting. The service was great, polite, genuine, warm, informative and efficient so I happily tipped my waiter in cash on top of the service charge. In conclusion I will say Roger's Kitchen is PRECISELY where 'sit down' Caribbean Restaurants need to be in the 21st Century. Our cuisine is as great as anyone's and deserves to be enjoyed by the world in superlative environments like this. Long live this place, I think I just might return again in just over a week. I love it!

   16/11/2024 Had an amazing experience at Rogers kitchen. The food was made with love, passion and from the heart. Carrabean flavours tasted amazing. Could have eaten 3 portions of the salt fish fritters..so tasty. Loved all 3 courses, from the jerk chicken in coconut curry sauce to the Jamaican fruit cake with rum and raisin ice cream, and not forgetting the seafood bisque stew with fluffy roti to suck up all the flavoursome sauce..it was all so deeelish and memorable. Roger is a real gent who takes the time to walk around and greet his customers, considering he's not only the owner, but the chef too. Had the pleasure of chatting to him and learning about his background.His wife Jo is so lovely too and was so happy that she explained the menu to us. The music brought back so many memories for me, old school reggae and some soul tunes suited the food and ambience of the restaurant. A fab experience and loved it all. I urge you to go and experience the true flavours of the carribean at Rogers kitchen. Thank you again.. X

   The food was excellent - a creative take on some traditional Caribbean food - absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was great - good music - a thoroughly enjoyable night.

   The food was lovely. BBQ ribs starter and Curry Goat, coleslaw with Rice n peas with a few drinks. My partner had the fritters, jerk chicken, plantain with rice n peas The decor is nice, with a selection of artwork on the walls for sale. The Service was wonderful and Roger checked that all of his customer’s were enjoying themselves. There was a lovely mix of people dining (young, mature, couples, groups of friends, black, white, asian etc) all enjoying their evening. There’s a clear view of the kitchen (which is a nice touch). The bill for 2 was £125. I would definitely recommend it. Book a table as it got busy.

   Fresh, zesty, marvellous Caribbean flavours. The food was cooked perfectly and the portion sizes were generous. This meal was a highlight of our visit to London

   Delicious West Indian dishes, beautifully presented. Excellent service. Even though there was a large group celebrating an 80th we were served promptly. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Roger even took the time to check on us. Great ambiance with great music. Can’t wait to return.

    The Service was brilliant and we received our meals quickly but never felt rushed. The food was excellent with the goats curry a stand out dish, but the ribs and fish were also great. A fantastic atmosphere and a definite hidden gem in Camden
