First, the…read morerestaurant usually isn't open on Tuesdays for dining in and they were kind enough to open their doors for us so we went innnn! We ordered Rice and peas, brown stew chicken, jerk chicken, curry goat, curry chickpeas and potatoes, and a fresh vegetable salad. I tried it all! Everything was perfectly seasoned, and authentically Jamaican! My belly was singing! The service from the chef, the bartender, and the owner was exceptional! The food and drinks were amazing! I had the rock steady cocktail....fantastic!! The place was clean and beautifully decorated as well. While we chowed down take away orders were coming in and out the door. Don't walk by this place without giving it a try anymore. I'm a regular now!! Can't wait for my next visit!!

A small unique Caribbean resturant which you could easily walk past if you didn't know it was…read morethere. It is not set up like some of the big brand Caribbean themed restaurants. This is a small independent resturant run by the owner with a small staff group, from what I could see. The interior is quirky lots of good photos from a time gone by. The furniture is an crazy mix from a church bench to standard tables and chairs. The bar is available for,just a drink or you can sit at the bar and eat. The menu is as you would expect, jerk chicken, curry goat, fritters, home made deserts, including ice cream. Service, potentially, could be a little slow as they had a 50th birthday party in, but in actual,fact that did not slow anything down. The owner was friendly and happy to engage. The food was flavoursome, a good spicy kick was served with my jerk chicken wings for starters. I did expect a little more heat from my curry goat, but the meat was so tender I wouldn't grumble to much about that. I will return here, I liked the ambience, there was music but you did not need to shout to have a conversation.

Been on the hunt for Jamaican food since we moved to London; it's not enough to get it once a year…read moreat family parties or carnival! Used Yelp to search for carribean places and found this gem :-) Authentic Jamaican home cooked food; great taste and warm friendly smile and service. There was an inside and outside seating area; but we didn't stay as we took the food to go; but there were quite a few people sitting and they all complimented the food when they came in to pay. Sunday's they do a buffet from 1pm, so we will def be back to try that. Seems u need to get there quick tho, cause when we got there at 5pm it was all gone and cleared up already :-)

HOWEVER There's a young girl working there and she wears a bonet with her edges out?! i really suggest they sort this matter out as her hair could still end up in the food.

Rice and peas, plain rice, stued chicken, curried goat, salt fish and ackee and there wicked festivals, which are like a fried dumpling but sweet. The flavours that come out of the Caribbean, they seem to have got it spot on. Still miss mums cooking, but this can work. The staff are very friendly, so that always helps. I would have loved for them to have made and served some Caribbean drinks. Punches such as pineapple punch or peanut punch. I could go on for ages, but I can't spell em so I won't. On a level though, the food is great. At first I was a bit dubious because of the clean factor that go with these road food vans. Take my word, they are clean clean clean. They let me go up in the van and have a look, which I thought was wicked. Just showed that they had nothing to hide where cleanliness is concerned. If your looking for something quick and different on the move. Then this is it‼

Will be top of my list of local recommendations, take aways and home catering (have added their number to my mobile, was so fantastic). The depth of flavour of their lovingly-prepared jerk chicken, goat curry and fish curry (unlike you have ever tasted before - seriously moreish!) will seriously surprise newcomers. The sypmphony of flavours of the fish with chilli and scotch bonnet pepper sauce was SoooOOooo unique, asked to buy a batch of the sauce to take home!!! They really ought to bottle that sauce! 5 stars as a new local restaurant with the courage to try a new concept. Keep up the outstanding efforts!!! It was highly recommended to us through word of mouth. Absolutely worth a meal here!!!! It will be unlike anything you have experienced for quite some time. African passion on a plate.

You must try their jollof rice and jerk chicken! What really surprised us was the value for money. Because they accept 'Taste Card' (50% off) the 'Bill Shock' you normally get when a restaurant slaps the bill on the table was more like, 'I can't in good conscience pay that little!' Highly recommend .. A must before you leave Hastings!

My favorite spot in the world in the past year for Caribbean food. Found this place by chance…read moreduring my first visit to London coming from the nearby underground train station and walking up Wembley High Road Street. So far, I have judged all Caribbean restaurants I've eaten at since my first visit at Hotspice precisely against Hotspice in taste and presentation of dishes and so far there is no match. My biggest regret is I live a whole continent and ocean away from this tiny restaurant that churns out amazing food. Along with my lady, we sat down inside the restaurant and ordered the Jerk Chicken and Ox Tail plates. Probably two of the best dishes I've ever eaten. I spend most of my days telling people how great it is to live in California, which It is, until you get the taste for Caribbean food and the best place you ever eaten It, you need a plane ticket to reach. A cruel fact, which will haunt my mind until the next time, Hotspice and I meet again.
