A resilient, DIY community hub serving home-style Caribbean food with a side of loud reggae and genuine warmth.
Ordering Strategy
Focus on the 'Ital' (vegan) section which is consistently rated higher than the meat dishes; the atmosphere is very casual, so expect a 'home-cooked' presentation.
What to order
Ital Curry
Described as 'extraordinary' and a 'scotch bonnet-laced wonder,' this vegan stew features chickpeas and sweet potato coaxed to 'compliant softness.'
Jerk Chicken
These succulent legs of chicken are noted for a 'rising swell of clove-scented heat' and a seductive savour that comes from a dousing of soy sauce.
Ginger Cake
A 'ravishingly moist' dessert that is exceptional on its own, though the rum-soaked version is famously 'drenched in enough rum to fell a horse.'
Trinidadian mac and cheese
A signature dish inspired by a personal recipe from the chef's youth, embodying the 'proper, home cooked food' vibe of the restaurant.

Good to know
The interior has a very scrappy, DIY aesthetic (chipboard, hand-painted signs) and the music is often loud.
