Caribbean Cafe in Croydon

We visited a unique-looking underground establishment after receiving a recommendation. The pallet seating, while creative, was unfortunately not very comfortable. The music was good. Despite the restaurant being empty around 3 p.m. on a Friday, there was a noticeable wait to be seated, followed by another delay before someone came to take our order. From the time we entered to when our starters arrived, it took a full hour. We ordered two portions of prawns; one was mistakenly served cold . The jerk chicken was acceptable but nothing particularly noteworthy. The oxtail was disappointing. While it was close to being tender, the dish was overwhelmed by an excessively sweet, barbecue-style sauce, making it nearly inedible. For sides, we tried the plain rice, roti, and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese, in particular, was extremely underwhelming—simply boiled pasta topped with what appeared to be pre-shredded cheese. This place is apparently popular for its 2-for-1 cocktails, and the group of tipsy ladies next to us certainly seemed to be enjoying them.

Don’t understand the negative reviews, always enjoyed big mikes from the jolly farmers to boxpark. Great food, and even the frozen fruit punches are lovely too.

A great range of food available with a wicked taste. One of my favourites is the Guaca Fries!! Looking forward to coming here soon!! :)

Delicious food, wide range to choose from and large portions. The music and vibes was great and the staff were lovely and easy to talk to. I will be coming again!!!!

A very good place to eat traditional food. The food is very delicious, the space is a little small.
