Guanabana Restaurant

Guanabana Restaurant has been delighting diners on Kentish Town Road since 2007 with its vibrant blend of Caribbean and Latin American dishes. This halal-certified venue is especially renowned for its signature “Island Roast”—a Caribbean-style twist on the British Sunday roast featuring oak-smoked jerk meats and hearty sides.

🍽️ Cuisine & Atmosphere

Step into a relaxed, colourful dining room where classic island recipes meet bold Latin flair:

• Oak-Smoked Jerk Chicken & Jerk Beef (Island Roast) – Generous portions of jerk-roasted meats served with roast potatoes, plantain, cabbage, baby carrots, Yorkshire pudding and spicy jerk gravy. A standout meal listed among London’s best halal roasts.
• Curry Lamb & Oxtail Stew – Spicy, slow-cooked meats in rich sauces, a comforting favourite on the menu.
• Jerk Chicken Alfredo – A creative fusion of Caribbean spice and creamy pasta, featuring jerk-flavoured chicken in an Alfredo-style sauce—commonly praised for its surprising harmony of flavours.
• Mac & Cheese & Smash Burgers – Crowd-pleasers like the indulgent mac-and-cheese side, the “Mac Daddy” burger, and other hearty comfort combos.
• Vegetarian & Gluten-Free Options – Dishes like black bean stew, grilled vegetables, callaloo, and Filipino-inspired recipes (e.g. empanadas and Pandesal buns) reflect the group’s inclusive culinary ethos.

With music, vibrant décor, and both indoor and patio seating, Guanabana radiates island-style charm fused with Camden’s laid-back vibe. It’s also BYOB-friendly, and often filled with lively groups, friends, and families.
