I've been coming to negril for a few years so I'm a bit late to write a review. However last nights meal was exceptional! Everything was on point. We had no booking, got a table 10mins before the kitchen shut yet the food was so fresh and delicious and came out very quickly! I love negrils laid back vibe and great authentic Jamaican cuisine and I always receive the best customer service. Love this place it's just fantastic! Oh and the rum punch ���
Been here a few times and the food fails to disappoint. I went there last night with a large group, and despite not having booked in advance, was accommodated warmly. The staff are lovely and the vibes are friendly. Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away from the crowds at Brixton village
Always the default place to take my guests when having distant family around, for breakfast, lunch or a dinner! Lovely food and great atmosphere with friendly staff.

Food to die for. From the best jerk ribs ever to the fantastic platters. Don't get me started on the rum punch let's just say when you have 1 you will want them to keep on coming.

The customer service was amazing- I went for my birthday with a large party and we all felt so accommodated and welcomed. The food was so delicious and as a vegan I was so happy to see all the choice available that was still so full of flavour - 100% going back.
Best Authentic Jamaican (Caribbean) diner by far. Both host's was so nice we wanted to eat twice. Definitely we highly recommend Negril!
best restaurant south of the thames... accidentally discovered it about a year ago. go for the platter, it never disappoints. book ahead asevery time i go it's packed out
Always incredible food, lovely staff, highly recommend!
Great food and decor to complement the scorching sunday weather!...
Brixton has amazing Jamaican food. This place was great. I recommend trying it if your in the area. It’s quite relaxed on a week day evening. Can get busy on the weekend.
Excellent Caribbean food - more than just jerk chicken. First time trying ackee & saltfish and callaloo and I was not disappointed. Would definitely go back again.
It's always good when you have good simple food in a garden terrace. I tried the jerk beef and curry chicken which just felt like some grandma had made them in the kitchen. One of those places where you just feel that you're loved as the food just tastes so good!!
The place and the people working there have a fantastic informal calm vibe — a nice break from the city's stresses and rush if you ask me!
With increasing demand for venues in which to eat out cheaply, Negril ticks the boxes not only serving tasty reasonably priced food, but also being BYOB. Located on Brixton Hill, I regularly run past this place on my way home and it is pretty much always full, testament to its popularity. It was good to finally be one of the insiders instead of jealously passing by, trying to ignore the inviting smell!
FANTASTIC. What a brilliant find! The food was fantastic: great variety, packed with flavour, and more than we could eat. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with a great staff dynamic and the final bill was an absolute bargain.
We will definitely be going back again and again!
Tasty food great chilli.... Tasty food - not 100% authentic=not hot enough but great chilli sauce. Try the festival. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing
Amazing. I devoured my main like there was no tomorrow. Jerk chicken was lush, helped down nicely with rice and peas and some amazing plantains. Top notch stuff.
I love that restaurant! Best Jerk chicken and amazing Carrot cake!!! Nice staff
After two exemplary crawls around New Cross and Peckham I was somewhat nervous about hosting a guided tour of Brixton's best places to eat. The main problem is that Brixton is blessed with profusion of cafes, bars, restaurants and markets that all need to
I highly recommend this place. It would be nice to come here to celebrate the Caribbean dishes. They have a policy to allow guests to carry their own alcoholic beverages, and the atmosphere is really nice and relaxed, so it is a very good thing to have a nice night outside. The prices are also quite reasonable, so I really recommend it.
To begin with, the staff is very welcoming, attentive and amicable. The service is prompt and pleasing. Though they have a tendency to get over friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and nice. Coming to food, the dishes are fresh and flavorsome. It is delicious. I would definitely recommended. Do visit!
According to me the restaurant serves one of the best west Indian dishes after the Bickley's of Brixton in london. With no doubt i love the food here, but always avoid coming to the place myself since the service here is no good.
I always incline more to the plan of getting it home delivered instead.
The food here is very refreshing and innovative. It also happens to hit the right spots on your taste buds and makes you keep coming back for more. The staff is prompt, efficient and very attentive along with being very warm to get along with. The items on the menu are very reasonably priced. There is nothing more you can ask for at this place with a very relaxing atmosphere. Definitely recommended.
An authentic Caribbean restaurant in the neighborhood. The food was delicious. We had tried the salt fish fritters and the short ribs which were both cooked to perfection. the meat was savory. the main course is also sumptuous and is served with roti . The staff is efficient and friendly. the atmosphere is very cool and relaxed.
This was the first time i ordered takeaway from Negril and I was highly impressed. I ordered Jerk Chicken and Plantain Wedges along with the rice and peas, which were amazing. The delivery was on time as promised and it was very well packed too. It's one of the most efficient takeaway food joints.
We were in a large group of friends and we decided this place to spent a laid back evening. The service was not really quick but we did not mind and spent quite a few hours over drink and chatting. We ordered chicken platter to share and it was delectable and a great accompaniment along with our drinks!
I had a really enjoyable experience here. The plantain I ordered was served with a really sour and incredible mayo dip. We also had the rice and peas, which were also delicious. The curry was nice and tangy, and a little mild. My friend ordered the beans and vegetable curry which I really liked. Overall, the food was nice. The service was too rushed for my taste, though. They were inept and very impolite. We were asked to clear our table withing forty five minutes only. I would come again for the food, though.
The restaurant serves authentic Jamaican food. I went ahead with ordering jerk chicken, a side of plantain, rice and peas and a homemade style lemonade. The food is exceptionally good and the best in the region, with respect to the cuisine. The ambience of the restaurant is alluring and very pleasing. The mouth-watering aromas from the kitchen makes the entire experience of having a meal at this restaurant even more appetising. The staff at the restaurant is also very welcoming and friendly. A must visit if you are in that part of town.
I have been falling head over heals over this place. Everything about Nergil excites me and impresses me. The staff is very well spoken and very well coordinated, also, the service is perfectly efficient. The staff members carry a very pleasing personality and smile on their faces all the time which is very pleasing in it's own way. The food was supper delicious and they possess a wide range of options to choose from. The decor is pretty high standard. Also, the ambiance is quite exotic and exquisite. I have been a regular to this place and would strongly recommend it.
I came to this place after reading some amazing reviews. I had a very fond memory of this place, and we decided to revisit. The restaurant has a very nice and inviting quality. Upon arrival, the only wait-staff took us to our table and seated us. In spite of the paucity, the staff was quick and attentive. We ordered the Negril platter, and it was amazing. The price was reasonable and the platter was large and amazing. The different dishes on the menu were all lovely and delightful. It was a sumptuous fare. The atmosphere was also brilliant, and relaxed. The food was priced a little high, and it would be nice of them to reconsider.
I had a wonderful time at this restaurant that serves Jamaican cuisine. The food was extremely delicious and delectable and we enjoyed each and every dish thoroughly. The service was exceptionally good. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and will visit it again soon.
I think this will be my most preferred restaurant in the entire city after my last time here, which will surely make me return here multiple times. The atmosphere inside is very warm and welcoming. The portions of the food are humongous, make sure you are very hungry. The chicken was a refreshing change and was cooked perfectly. All the other dishes were equally delightful, even the desserts. We had a lovely time here and will be returning with more people. Highly recommended!
I, along with my cousin, visited this place recently and found the atmosphere quite pleasing. We were comfortably seated and the menus were provided to us immediately upon our arrival. There was no rushing from the staff and they catered to us well. I had ackee & salt fish with fried dumplings and a side of sausage. It was delicious. My cousin had chicken, plantain, rice and peas and found all of it to be very tasty. I also ordered coconut water and it was fresh. Definitely going to this place again. Also, I would recommend all of you to visit this restaurant when you are around.
If you are looking to celebrate a birthday or have a special meal, this is the place!
Although the location is not the most convenient, and doesn't have the best service I still go there often. Its a nice place to hangout and have a relaxed meal as the food is quite good.
I absolutely love the place and would give it full marks! I have tried both the take away and the dine in option and can safely say that the quality of service is very good , with an efficient staff.
The food that i have tasted were incredible, i recommend trying the fish fritters and the jerk chicken.Both are super yummy.
Faultless , in my opinion.
Went for my friend's farewell party to Negril and was pleasantly surprised. The main aspect over which I value any restaurant, that is it's food, was awesome. I loved my mango sorbet and the chicken burger which was rather big but made sure that I was able to stuff it inside. Besides this, the service was very good, the staff being nice and friendly. This one is a must go and I would love to stop by again.
I have never ever written a review before and this is the first time that I am doing so after having an amazing experience at this place. I, along with my friends, went there and we all had chicken and barbecue ribs. The quality of food was top notch. The spicy sauce we had complimented the entire meal pretty well. We also had a variety of juices which were quite refreshing. The service was also a pretty standard one and we all had the time of our lives.
To begin with they have an interesting and intriguing menu offering varied selections to chose from. The food is uplifted with wonderfully blended flavors and huge portion sizes. Complete Value for money. Another upside is very welcoming, attentive and accommodating staff! They do allow bargain over final billing, how often do you come across that? Definitely returning!
I always have a good experience at this place and like coming here for a meal. The food here is delectable and one of my favorites is the free-range jerk chicken. The place has a bring-your-own-booze system, which is quite enjoyable. They also cater to large group of people or large parties, when service can be a bit slow.
I devoured my main like there was no tomorrow. Jerk chicken was lush, helped down nicely with rice and peas and some mouth watering plantains. All in all the food was impressive and I had several things that ranked among the best I've had or close to. It was truly Top notch!
I recently visited this place and was quite impressed with it. The food is fabulous but not the typical authentic cuisine types. The service was pretty efficient with the staff being warm and attentive. The ambience was pretty decent and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried it yet and would love to come back here again.
I loved the staff here, it was very friendly and helpful. We shared a Negril platter which was very appetizing and definitely value for the money we paid. The platter is also an appropriate choice if you're unsure of what you want as you get to try little bowls of everything.
The jerk chicken, salt fish and plantain were my favourite out of all the dishes I tried. The restaurant also offers amazing desserts.
I am quite a regular to this restaurant and will be going back again considering the delicious food that this restaurant has on offer. However, I must warn you to make reservation before going there as the place is really crowded at times and you may have to wait for a long time before finding the table.
This place is a brilliant gastronomical experience. I absolutely love the Negril platter which is served with a coleslaw on a bed of other spicy condiments. I have always been impressed by the robust flavours used in the variety of dishes this place has to offer. I would highly recommend the weekend breakfast as it is a treat to the tummy!
Another local institution, Negril is almost a makeshift restaurant with only a curtain to separate the kitchen, but there is nothing makeshift or thrown together about the food. So often, the fare doesn't match up to the rave reviews of word of salivating mouth, but these chefs really know how to prepare good, flavoursome Jamaican cuisine.
I love how they add a caribbean twist to your traditional English breakfast (jerk sausage, callalo and fried plantain, anyone?) blending the two together cleverly and effectively.
It's also so affordable it would be rude not to visit when you're in the area. Just...just go.
I'm not going to lie, this restaurant was one of the prime suspects in my fall from vegetarianism, when I chose to blindly ignore that the gravy I was pinching from my dining pal's meal was clearly 100% delicious and 100% meat based.
Anyway, my second visit was decidedly more successful: I was a card carrying meat eater again. I shared the Negril platter with a friend which was more than enough food for two. Caribbean classics like salt fish fritters, meltingly good jerk chicken and rice and peas are all served in a relaxed environment. The BYO option makes this a very reasonable (but potentially very boozy) night out.
Went here last night as a group of 10 and had a great feed. We were kept waiting a long time for food but the relaxed atmosphere and BYO policy meant we didn't mind. Although a little cramped, the setting was and lively and the food was great when it arrived. We opted for the platters which were more than enough and offered a great range of flavours. They contained, fall-off-the-bone jerk chicken, rice and peas, fish fritters, plantains, chips, coleslaw and came with sides of gravy and chilli sauce with a real kick. With the options of outdoor seating in warmer weather and breakfast served award winning jerk sausages this is a real Caribbean treat that I'll be returning to.
Had a really amazing time here! I was quite quiet when I went as it just opened up. The customer service is exceptional! The staff was lovely and the food and cocktails was delicious. I ordered the platter with curry goat and oxtail. Would deffo recommend
Negril hosted my friends hen party. Warm and friendly service and the food was unreal! The platters between 2 were amazing value for money. Best saltfish fritters I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back! Thank you
Real authentic Jamaican food. Absolutely banging. I’d eat this for the rest of my life no problem. Definitely recommend this. They are really generous with the portions.
Food and service were exceptional. Was very quiet for a Saturday night which does take away from the ambience. They do have a very nice outdoor seating area as well which if busy, adds a lot to the restaurant.
This is a nice Caribbean restaurant, great cocktails with very pleasant service.
The food was tasty, including the jerk chicken and salt fish fritters and the cocktail jugs were specifically amazing.
However, I will add that the jerk chicken wrap* was not in a roti and did not seem to be cooked in a jerk pan, so that could be improved – would stick to the more traditional menu and not this item.
The service was very friendly and attentive, thank you Sandra for hosting us.
The place was very reasonably priced for a London restaurant, we paid around £30 each with drinks.
I would recommend this place and be back again!
Came here fro my sons birthday. The portion sizes are generous. The salt fish fritters weren’t very salty and the oxtail taste nice but wasn't a rich taste. The staff were super friendly and worked hard to make the evening pleasant. Forgive the rubbish pics, we were hungry so had already started eating
Literally writing this as I'm sat at the restaurant because I have to sing its praises! Amazing AUTHENTIC food, wonderful service, lovely staff and honestly the best rum punch I've had since Jamaica. Its such a vibe for the summer as it's an open plan restaurant, get your mates and go!!!
Really great Jamaican food, we shared jerk wings & plantain, and I had the ackee saltfish with rice and peas plus festival. All really tasty and definitely didn't leave hungry. The staff were really nice and friendly as well
Food was full of flavour! I ordered the chicken curry and it was the perfect comfort meal. Staff were also welcoming and helpful.
Food was amazing, the place was busy and had a nice vibe. A bit pricey but the portions are big. Food was great quality and there was a wide variety of food on the menu.
Lovely place. The food is nicely cooked with plenty of flavour, but only comment would be a bit more of a kick in the curry would be nice. The staff are really nice and friendly, I would definitely recommend a visit.
Cosy, intimate space tucked away from the main road. Authentic Jamaican food and excellent customer service. It was tipping down with rain when I went so it was a little damp and chilly. When I complained of being cold they gave me a shot of white rum to warm me up! A real family vibe and felt safe and clean after lockdown, hand sanitizer in abundance and staff wearing masks. The food was hot and delicious, excellent value for money and I'm extremely fussy. I highly recommend and I'll definitely be going back on a sunny day.
Never judge the book by the cover , lol . With all the bushes around the buliding i thought it was shutDOWN on 1st seeing it BUT they were OPEN so went in ordered my food and im very happy i did . Food was very tasty AND i did not wait long for the food either only thing they should had put a little salad with my dinner that would had been a nice surprise with the meal. So curry goat and Brown rice hmmm nice thier jerk chicken that was nice too . Muzic in the back ground made it a nice vibes , seating outside which is cool for the summer.
Has the Terminator says, I WILL BE BACK ..LOL
Came with my family tonight by a recommendation from a friend. Food was delicious and really lovely staff/owners!
I had been searching for some good roti, festivals and dumplings for a long time and this spot did it for me. There were no dumplings but the festivals and the roti were good just like mama used to make. They even have ital dishes as well. A bit of a hike from Brixton Tube station but worth the walk
Delicious food in a chilled and open plan setting with typical friendly Carribean style service. Could eat this food everyday
Had some of the the best Caribbean food in a while… great staff and amazing food, what more could you ask for.
