London's original Caribbean diner serving up fiery jerk classics, generous stews, and tropical rum punches in a lively, reggae-soundtracked setting.
Ordering Strategy
Main course portions are exceptionally generous, so consider sharing a few 'little dishes' to start before tackling the hearty, bone-in stews or jerk mains.
What to order
Jerk Chicken
A true Camden classic since 1985, this dish delivers a rich, smoky aroma and a fiery punch with a dark, aromatic jerk sauce that reviewers describe as having a serious kick.
Jerk chicken filled roti
A traditional and hearty meal under £10, this wrap provides a substantial and comforting way to enjoy their signature spiced chicken.
Brown Stew Chicken
Called a 'hidden gem,' this chicken is slow-cooked on the bone until it is 'falling apart effortlessly' in a rich, slightly sweeter sauce that provides a great alternative for those avoiding intense spice.
Plantain
Commonly described as 'absolute heaven,' these are perfectly sautéed to be crispy on the outside while remaining 'beautifully soft and caramelised inside.'

Good to know
The dining room is long and narrow, meaning it can feel delightfully cramped and bustling. Take advantage of their daily 5pm-7pm happy hour, and check out their adjacent Rum & Reggae bar for post-dinner drinks.
