(Note: Nando's was the pinnacle...until now!) This place. It's like a sweet Caribbean sea breeze blew into this sleepy sea village and kicked it's butt to wake TF up!! Great thin yet fluffy barra, great flavor on the Trini doubles (enjoyed the accent of coconut on the top) and curried goat was both tender and flavorful (again scooped up with a side of barra) The cocktails can be a bit sweet and light on booze but then...I'm American...it's just not how they do here in most UK places. All in all: Outstanding job!!

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.

The food is delicious the only problem is the parking and the new clean air zone, chef is awesomeread more

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!!

Availability of items on their menu is the first problem. A trip to the restaurant itself was hampered by almost all their sides - some of the best parts of Caribbean cuisine - being out of stock. And their takeaway didn't fare a whole lot better on that front, several sides once again not all available. Things got much worse here, sadly, delivery taking almost two hours from ordering. Which would be almost excusable if the food that turned up wasn't almost entirely lukewarm - the rice and peas the worst culprit, practically stone cold - while the jerk chicken was lacking hotness in both senses, hardly a tang emanating from beneath leathery charred skin. Although they did grudgingly give an small partial refund when asked, there was little or no apology, which all adds up to pretty much the worst takeaway service in Cardiff. That's some going and even more disappointing having really wanted to like this place.

I had been…read morewanting to check it out for a while, so with an empty stomach and all meetings finished for the day, I decided to finally check it out for a late lunch. As I walked passed this afternoon there was 6-7 old Jamaican guys inside hanging out, eating and listening to some chilled reggae music. It looked really cool! So I walked in - and stopped all conversation! I don't think they get many 30 years old caucasian guys with macbooks asking for a curry goat and the wifi password! That's the impression I got, anyway! After they realised I wasn't going to ask for directions, they were all really helpful and really funny. "Sure man, take a seat brotha" I was told when I ordered the curry and can of diet coke. The food came out 5 minutes later in a polystyrene container and plastic fork in a napkin. I was expecting a plate, but I didn't mind, It looked great. And it was! Really good actually! As always the meat had a lot of bones, but the flavour was really powerful. Not spicy, just a taste that lasted for ages. The rice and peas was also really good. Not the best I've had, but it wasn't all clumpy like some can be. The weird thing was, that when I walked in, it there was a couple of tables of people chatting and chilled reggae playing, but within less than 10 minutes there was nobody. No staff. Nobody! And the music had gone from reggae to POUNDING jump up/jungle. It was bonkers, but really funny! I had no idea what was going on.

I usually come to the one near the atrium hotel since the parking is easier and it's usually less crowded. The one on front street in Philipsburg is usually way busier especially when the cruise ships are in. The service is good. The food is good. On their burger they put this seasoned onion that is grilled and it really makes the burger pop. Their French onion soup is also delicious. Their drinks are good and strong and if you dine in you get a nice large glass times two. Bathroom is decently clean for an outdoor place. It's also nice to see the pool for the atrium guests, it keeps the air cool and is good for people watching. The front street location has a great view of the ocean and has validated parking pretty close by. The menu is the same and the servers are great.
