I had popcorn chicken and curry goat with rice and peas. It was absolutely delicious 😋
The banana rum with ginger beer was also lovely. 👌🏽
Booked in at Nanny’s for Mother’s Day dinner. Smooth and easy process. Arrived to friendly smiles and got us seated with a high chair for our son. Complimentary drink for Mother’s Day was a nice touch, we ordered the half jerk chicken with fries and slaw and the Rasta pasta and added beef (a must! the beef was so delicious) as well as the pasta! Good things take time so grab a drink and enjoy your company while you wait for your meal to come out! Def recommended :) thanks team!
P.s the cocktails are amazing too
Updated review, June 2023:
As someone who has visited Jamaica for 3 months, I can tell you that the food here is impeccable and can rival the food you eat in Jamaica. The Jerk has a nice, softer texture and the Goat Curry is really well flavoured. The sides are great. Worth the money. The vibe is good too, with the Jamaican reggae playing in the restaurant. JP is funny and the rest of the staff are all good too
Fantastic taste of Jamaica, before going there! Texture was spot on, I could really taste the grilled flavor and the meat was juicy! Sauce tasted good as well! Shared much similarity in taste to Peking Duck, but is more smoky and easier to eat!
Booked a table for 4 for my son's birthday at 7pm. Ordered a Mojito and Purple Kush for cocktails, and a couple of soft drinks. Fried Pork Spare Ribs for starters was.yum and prompt. The rest took awhile- Jerk Chicken, Pork Belly and Jamaican Oxtail with Fries, Green Salad, Rice, Mac N Cheese. They ran out of the Slaw after taking our order so we switched to more green salad. They were all delicious.
The experience was nothing short of amazing, with fantastic service and food that blew me away. The staff were all welcoming and attentive, making sure that our every need was met throughout the evening.
The highlight of the night was definitely the drink we ordered - the spicy Maria. I have never tasted a cocktail quite like it, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness. It was the perfect complement to the incredible food that was served.
Really delicious food, first time here and the experience did not disappoint.
Efficient, friendly service and a great vibe.
The jerk pork belly was tender and smoky, and the fries were SO delicious.
Will be back!
Never tried Jamaican food in my life, I’ve been missing out this entire time.. this was such a standout in all the food I’ve ever tried, this was something to remember! We got the Oxtail, with a side of rice n peas and slaw, we also got the jerk chicken too. Everything was so good, if you aren’t too good with spice get extra slaw it helps! But I will be coming back to try their jerk pork belly which I’ve heard great things about, highly recommend this place! Perfect for any occasion, but I would recommend booking as it fills up quick!
Super friendly and really good food!
Oxtail tastes just like the Caribbean takeaway shops back in London. Mac n cheese super creamy and delicious. Fries crunchy and well seasoned. Spicy jerk chicken was juicy and smoky. Popcorn chicken was crispy and flavourful (tasted kinda like Korean fried chicken) and banana dessert was unexpectedly a warm, crisp crepe with melted chocolate and banana inside. Yum!! So so good, will definitely be back
The food is fantastic, the staff is fantastic, John is a real character!! The atmosphere is like nothing we have experienced before. You will not go home hungry. Will be coming back every month!! Thanks for a great time and real good food.
I loved the energy in this place, the staff is so friendly and instantly makes you feel welcome. They gave us recommendations on what to order and even explained some items of the menu.
The jalapeño poppers were SO good, they made us try a sauce with it and it was even better.
The jerk pork belly was amazing, so flavourful, I really enjoyed it and will be coming back.
