£13 for a hefty serving of jerk chicken, rice, and plantain that two people can share. Incredible hot sauce, and what a smokey chicken, as its name says. Clean place to dine in, but not quite spacious. Friendly service, the lovely lady gave us the additional hot sauce whenever we asked. There’s a lunch set menu for only £5 or 6 if I’m not mistaken.

£13 for a large box of mixed grilled meat, got the grilled lamb and pork. Really nice smokey flavor to the meats, the pork skin in particular had lovely crackling. Rice and peas were delicious. The jerk sauce elevated the dish, the chilli was garlicky with a light kick. Price is a little high, there were also some really tough bits of meat which is a little unfortunate.

Omg the food here is absolutely bang on especially the jerk lamb and chicken!! Portion size is huge for the money and the sauce they put on it is amazing.. Home made I think. Either mild or spicy!! Lovely!! 😋 I dont live anywhere near this place but I'd travel an hour just to have it. Best carribbean food I've ever had!! 5 star + 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ordered curried goat, ackee and saltfish with dumplings for takeaway and didn’t have to wait too long. Dumplings were fresh and soft, goat was tender & spicy and the fish was perfect. Portions were generous and delicious.

Born and bred in New Cross but left for the sunny climate of Camberwell. Always make an effort to some back as it's better than any Camberwell place. The jerk pork is immense. Here's the thing. Got there and was told the jerk pork wasnt ready. Respect that and appreciate the honestly. If it's not ready - it's not ready. Quick pint opposite and back for the most perfect brilliant jerk pork ever. Mention to the lovely front of house lady with the baby. Fantastic place. New Cross is lucky to have you guys. Thanks again.

Best jerk in SE London by far - and despite a lot of competition. The queue should tell you enough, but the wait is worth it. Big portions, fresh out the BBQ, with salad/peppers loaded on, all foil wrapped because the box is overflowing. The food is packed with taste, not tired, re-heated and dried out like some other places. Don't expect anything much in the shop, all the magic seems to happen out the back. The only bad bit is it's closed some days and ends up finishing early even when it is open. Food is the best though.

Food was great! Portions were larger than large as you can see, the jerk sauce offered is a nice combo with the food too

Typical Caribbean shop service in terms of preparing time. BUT the food is incredible and it really puts me into food coma!!! The owner is really nice too.

The interior is minimal, and I don't mean in that Scandinavian way. It's a fuss free takeaway. I've heard rave reviews about the jerk lamb and I ordered it with the worry that they'd be out of it. Some places are like that, but I was in luck as the friendly lady smiled in recognition on my eagerness. I noticed they do a mixed meat combo, why not go for the jerk chicken as well I thought. I changed my order halfway through preparation and still she was most accommodating. I wonder why there are reviews where people moan about the lack of customer service at Caribbean eateries. I think it's a cultural perspective. A deep filled hot to touch foil container arrived on the counter with the choice of jerk sauce and pepper sauce. The lamb had layers of smokey flavour with each chewy mouthful. It was a winner and dare I say even out did the ever popular jerk chicken. The chunks of meat sat on bed of rice and peas with a salad tucked in the corner. The shreds of lettuce and wedge of both cucumber and tomato didn't add anything to the meal, instead I would have preferred coleslaw but I don't believe that had it. Price wise it was marginally dearer compared to other local places, however the food was great and so was the service. Don't miss that yellow pepper sauce!

The bark on their jerk is intense... tend to run out of stuff towards the end of the day and sometimes close early because of it. Update 2020, still best jerk for miles
