This restaurant offers a variety of delicious offerings, including Oxtail, Curry Goat, and Brown Stew Chicken. It is worth noting that Jerk Chicken is only available on the weekends. Definitely worth patronizing especially if you are looking for takeaway options. Also, I am of Jamaican heritage -- this food is absolutely authentic!!

I make it a point to hit up a Jamaican restaurant wherever I go, be it the US or international and I do not lie when I say the rice and peas is the best I have ever had--a veritable flavor explosion in your mouth and the texture is so delicate. A wonderful culinary experience!

If you have grown tired of fish, chips, burgers and local UK grub, give this location a try. We got the pork belly, jerk chicken (white), steak and fried chix. The meals average £20/plate. Alcoholic drinks avg £6-£7.

Today I had lunch at the fabulous Caribbean Croft located on Gloucester Road. It was the first time…read moreI'd been there and it won't be the last. The food there is phenomenal! The restaurant itself is vibrant and exciting with a friendly and lively buzz about the place. For starters we had salt-fish fish cakes and jerk chicken wings. Those fish cakes where the best fish cakes I have ever eaten. Delicately flavoured, cooked to perfection and tasted wonderful. Even though they where made from salt fish they where not overly salty. The flavours where well balanced and complimented each other beautifully. The jerk chicken came in a very moorish and very tasty jerk gravy. Now I know traditionally jerk chicken is not supposed to come in a gravy or a sauce, but this was exceptional. Every now and then a restaurant has to push the boundaries of what is the norm in its cuisine and I like that. This was definitely one of those occasions and it paid off big time. It did as expected have a kick to it but with the accompanying yoghurt and mint dip to cool things down that did take the edge off. For mains I had the curried goat and white rice. We also had the slow cooked jerk pork belly with rice and peas. To accompany the mains we had two portions of the sweet fried dumplings. The goat curry tasted wonderful. Again very well flavoured and not too overpowering. Sometimes you can get a curried goat that knocks your head off and you find yourself guzzling down glasses of mile and fresh orange juice for the next fortnight, but this was spot on. Not a single scrap was left. The pork belly was beautifully cooked and fell away at the touch of a knife. All in all this was a fantastic lunch. Not too pricey either and it is well worth making a special journey for. I'll definitely be returning and I'd gladly recommend this place to anyone who wants fantastic Caribbean home cooking.

Redbones is a smart and friendly carribean restaurant tucked away in the upper section of Haymarket…read morewalk, which is located between Broadmead and the BRI hospital. I went there for lunch today and was made very welcome, I ordered a chicken stew and a guava soda, and my colleague had a jerked pork dish. The portion sizes were generous, the food was beautifully presented and it was absolutely delicious. The food is made fresh from scratch on site and cooked while you wait, but that said we were not kept waiting long and a visit to this restaurant can easily fit within a lunch hour. I thought Redbones was very good value for money, a typical dish is currently around £5.99 with soft drinks £1.99 each. There were a range of starters and desserts on offer too. I would like to visit again on an evening and would recommend this restaurant, I thought it was better value than other Caribbean restaurants I have tried in the area. I asked about whether alcoholic drinks were available and I was advised you can bring your own, there is a Tesco very nearby and for a small corkage charge Redbones will supply glasses. This would make it excellent value to visit for an evening out.
