I was really looking forward to Levi Roots... Being Jamaican by origin, plus seeing him on Dragon's…read moreDen so many years ago. I guess my expections were way too high. The motiff of the place is very nice, very islandy. I really expected more traditional dishes served... Everything was over priced ( 1 patty for £5.10 ) of course I tried it and it was ok... Oh and no standard beef patty.. lamb or chicken. So everything on the menu i would consider some kind of 'fusion' - definitely not what I expected. Here's what we ordered, a chicken patty (great crust but mushy inside) , jerk chicken (decent) , festival (horrible, was like a churro filled with cinnamon) , fried plantains (great), rice n peas (ok) - when we were done, twice I told the lady I wanted to have dessert but I was brought the bill instead. Unfortunately, I cannot give Levi more than a 2 star.

Levi Roots Carribean Smokehouse, Westfield Stratford City - Apart from the three major food courts…read moreinside Westfield Stratford City, there are plenty of restaurants outside of the shopping complex. Most are chain restaurants - Jamie's Italian, Shake Shack, Busaba Eathai, Ping Pong - so, first impression of Levi Roots Carribean Smokehouse was, just another chain restaurant nestled in the shopping bazaar of Westfield Stratford. Why? Because of Levi Roots. Firstly, it was his musical background, followed by his Levi Reggae sauces and now, a Carribean eatery. Not knowing much about him, I assumed that it was just a stardom restaurant. Until, we had a chat, dinner and photo! But, tonight we are here to judge the food. We each had a three course meal (I felt that two course meal would have been plenty) - a starter of street foods, mains of stews, barbecue and rasta food and dessert. The difficulty was to choose just one dish for each of the courses. The menu had a good selection of meat and fish dishes, crowd pleaser favourites under the "Beach Shack Bickle" section carry a twist of the Carribean flavours and a great kids menu. The menu was quite daunting but much easier to handle once it was explained to us. The rasta food, I am not familiar with this, sounded more of a challenge to the chef. In short it was described as vegan food without the seasoning. I was intrigued and wanted to try but could not resist their short ribs (£13.50). beef short rib 2 bone in Smokehouse jerk sauce £13.50 - cut open the blackened meat with a glistening sauce gives the a succulent pink meat. It was nice but quite fatty. On the drinks menu, their cocktails were curated by Ian Barrell, UK Rum Ambassador. My Jamaican Mule (£6.90) wasn't as gingery as described and could do with being colder. Others loved their Reggae Rum Punch (£7.90). ackee and saltfish £5.50 - a generous portion of Jamaica's national dish. The flavours were very light and clean, taste were very well balanced with the tangy, salt and pepper and a light hint of chilli. Makes a substantial salad, but what I did not like was that the salted fish stuck between my teeth as I chew. levi's fried chicken £5.50 - those chicken strips looked like it has been dried out from frying but I bite into the most tender piece of chicken. The crunchy batter on the outside holds the Asian sweet sticky chilli sauce which I thought would have been better served with their own Levi Root sauce. bajan fish cakes £5.50 - the fish cakes had a proportion of more flour batter to the fish. Still, it gave a very light taste. curry goat £13.50 - a plate of creamy coconut sauce with chunks of succulent meat. It was not a huge portion but had lots of that creamy coconut sauce for the rice and roti! carribean ice-cream of rum and raisin, mango and soursop £4.90 - rum and raisin tasted more milky and creamy than of rum. Mango and soursop was not too sweet but the taste was quite obvious from a packet.

I am a fan of this place and have eaten here on several occasions…read more They have homestyle Caribbean food but they also cater to vegetarians. The vegetarian meal of the day is freshly made daily and marked on a blackboard in the restaurant. Foods I like here: Curries: Jerk Chicken, Mutton - usually served with your choice of salad, or rice or chips (aka fries). About 8 quid. Patties: I like their chicken, lamb and vegetable patties they are usually served with chips- 4 quid Burgers: Jerk Chicken (very flavourful), the bean burge ris pretty decent too as is the "Maryland" which is a chiken burger, however I really like the "new Zealander" which is a lamb burger and the mint mayo sauce is delish! All usually servued with salad or chips - 6 quid Dessert : their banana and carrot cake is pretty good, sometimes i like it with warm custard and sometimes with ice cream. -3 quid They also have a kid meal - chicken nuggets , burgers. The ambience is .. well eclectic in my opinion. Good food with good service.

Clean like the home of someone with OCD and bright. There were only three small tables and six chairs I believe. The girl at the counter was quite friendly. She chatted easily, smiled like the moon was made of cheese and that was the most excellent news since Bill and Ted and was very helpful in recommending what to eat. We settled on goat curry with rice and beans (called peas I think) along with a fish patty and a vegetable patty. The food, though maybe not a vegetarian's delight nor a health freak's idea of fun, was scrumptious. The patties were flaky as an ex-hippy who can't give up their flower child days and perfectly spicy. The curry was flavorful. I've never eaten goat and even though goats eat everything, they've never eaten me, but I'd eat goat again even though I haven't given goat a fair chance to chomp at my fingers. The rice had a hint of coconut which transported you across the oceans to a sunnier place with blue ocean and sandy beaches (otherwise known as Slovakia). The meal filled us right up like a car at a petrol station and stuck to our bones like your tongue to a frozen pole when you try to lick it.

I have never eaten in but the staff are friendly and I reckon it would be a pretty sound experience.
