For a tiny Caribbean cafe it's packed full of flavour. Located on Smithdown Road If you can't be…read morebothered to cook, forget the usual take-away suspects that line this student part of town and get down to Raggas because both price and taste wise, you will not regret it. With a range of unusual mains from Fried Snapper to Curried Goat it is well worth a visit and much better for you than a pizza! All mains are traditionally served with rice and peas, (whopping portions of rice!) and to take out a 1/2 portion, which is more than enough really unless you are really craving some comfort, is only £2.50 and for a full portion most are £5.00 with only the Oxtail and Ackee n Saltfish at £3.00/ £6.00. Seriously, this is some good eating so if you fancy some homemade Caribbean cuisine, this is the place. I'd recommend splashing out a little extra for the saltfish, it is melt-in-your-mouth gorgeous. It's probably best to get the food to take-out as although it's friendly enough inside it is rather cramped and there isn't much seating. They do a free local delivery service on orders of over £6.00.

I love carribean restaurants and takeaways because of the fun and the passion which goes into the…read morefood and you definitely get that sense when you enter this establishment. As soon as you enter you sense the community feel, the place is always full of people chatting, eating and enjoying themselves and it is a real feelgood place. As well as the atmosphere this place has the food, it is excellent and they really know what they are doing. I have to admit I am not an expert on this type of food but it does not take an expert to taste the quality of flava at d'flava. The place is run by a Jamaican and you can tell by the authenticity of the food.It sounds obvious but try the jerk chicken with some rice and a nice refreshing drink and you will feel as though your soaking up the sun in the west indies which is exactly what you want to feel with this type of food. I like my restaurants to be friendly and have good food so for me d'flava is heaven and I like the name.

I have been looking forward to stopping by this place for some time as West Indian food is not as…read morereadily available around here unlike London or Birmingham. I was therefore upset at my experience despite the promising set up of the place and the tantalising offers. I get the impression that D'Flava is more of an evening place - at least I hope so as it was empty when I arrived - as the decks near the bar and liquor behind the bar hint at a lively evening set up. However when I made my order, the young girl behind the counter clearly spoke no English and instantly set my alarm bells about my order but it gave me time to look over the menu and the specials board - I really want to know to what sexy juice is but I thought now was not the time and place to try this or the Guiness punch! Just as I anticipated the order was completely wrong nonetheless I was heading towards town and the melting pot area of Wavertree/Kennsington now that my craving for Jamaican food had been ignited...

Mama Flo's is a nice little neighbourhood restaurant serving Jamaican cuisine. I've been meaning to…read morepop in for a while because I'm missing my regular jerk chicken fix at Buzzrocks. There's only a few tables to dine in but it's open till 9.30pm which is great. There are some (inadvertently) hilarious thank you letters from school children on the wall: my personal favourite says "Your beef batty is tasty." I tried a saltfish fritter for the first time which had a perfect mix of crispy batter and soft filling, would recommend it. The jerk chicken was very different from what I am used to at Buzzrocks. The sauce at Buzzrocks is very thick and in fact solidifies when you put it in the fridge (i.e. the secret to its deliciousness is that it's basically just fat). At Mama Flo's the sauce is thin liquid. It's got a good spicy favour but I miss the indulgent richness. Also although it's more expensive there was less chicken, it was a little dry and the rice and peas were a bit overcooked (fluffy). Unfortunately for me they were out of plaintain so I'll have to pop to try it and maybe sample one of the other dishes - at Buzzrocks I was never very adventurous about trying to the curry or fried chicken etc because the jerk sauce was so addictive but here I will keep sampling the full menu! Carrot cake was ok but a bit dry and was not the best icing.

Amazing place this. Food is plentiful and well priced. Service is a genuine joy. Will certainly be…read morecalling in again.
