With locations in both Walthamstow (E17) and Westfield Stratford (E20), it brings the spirit of Jamaica to East London’s bustling food scene.

🍽️ Cuisine & Atmosphere

The menu features vibrant Caribbean classics with true depth of flavour:

• Curry Goat – Tender slow-cooked goat in a rich, spiced curry sauce, often served with rice and plantain. Praised for being a standout dish.
• Braised Oxtail – Slow-braised with butter beans and served alongside rice & peas, orange-coloured dumplings, and mac & cheese—a richly satisfying comfort dish.
• Jerk Chicken & Pork – Marinated for over 24 hours in homemade spice rubs, then chargrilled to achieve that signature smokiness—available in wings, quarters, and pitchers.
• Coconut Peppered Prawns – Fresh prawns cooked in spicy coconut-pepper sauce, often paired with mini dumplings or rice.
• Vegetarian Rundown – A coconut-based vegetable medley with yam, sweet potato, callaloo, and sweet peppers, providing a hearty option for plant-based diners.

Cocktails and rum are central to the experience, from signature drinks like the Rum Punch and Mango Daiquiri to a curated menu featuring over 100 rums, making this a top destination for both food and drink lovers.

The atmosphere is vibrant and communal, set within food courts or open kitchen spaces, with reggae soundtracks, buzzing service, and friendly staff.
