It was a bit quiet for 8.30pm on a Saturday night. Just one other couple eating when we arrived…read more The waiter was quick to seat us, friendly and helpful. Although as the place filled up later on the service did slow down somewhat. We ate ackee & saltfish (£6.50) with plantain (£1.50) and rice & peas (£1.50). All of which was cooked to perfection. Followed by rum & raisin cheesecake with ice cream (£4). The decor was uninspired and the huge tv on the wall absolutely unnecessary. But I believe they turn it into a bar/club later in the evening. The buffet looked to be very good value and we look forward to trying it at a future date.

With both Pepper and Spices closing down in the area (Stoke Newington Church Street and Kingsland…read moreRoad soon to be demolished to make way for the new train line) there is a serious lack of good, quick Caribbean food in the area. Kimo's opened two weeks ago at the top of Stoke Newington High Street, just opposite the Church Street cross street and offers ok Caribbean food in the form of a cheap buffet. It is £5 per plate or £7.50 for all you can eat and you can choose between traditional dishes such as ackee, saltfish, stewed chicken, curried goat and barbeque chicken with rice and peas as an accompaniment. It is a really strange venue, reminiscent of a 1980s nightclub with HUGE flat screen televisions showing music videos. They don't seem to have put any stamp on the decor since they have taken over it, as it was previously a wine bar, but it is still early days.

First of all if could give 0 star or -1 I would I booked for mothers day at cost of £20 per table…read morein totally cost me £100 I am yet to receive a refund and it has now been 3 days which adds to dispointing view of which should have a happy event. So remember as a recall the events am not a party of one, am going to spill the tea. I booked ahead and took the measure of calling +3hrs before my booking to check my party could sit together spoke to Rehina I believe in length at no point did anyone tell me my PARTY OF 10 booking had been cancelled we travel over 30mins to arrive and to be told we no booking to was in state of disbelief remember it's mothers day all my party are standing in a door way face a table at back of the restaurant that seats 8 with 2 guest seated and two other smaller tables free. I work in customer service I was approached by Male staff who wispers like he didn't want a sence and first told me I had no booking, get ready then I hadn't been charged, then no took my call to confirm then there nothing no the system the money had been refunded. Then the person i spoke to made a mistake. Then last oh the money will refused 2 days.... which I wasn't.. So my point is this you will take someone money not correct your mistake by having 10 people arrive stand for 10mins in a doorway all the while you don't try to fix your mistakes and have the front to keep someone's money. I really wanted to support this business but I had the most dispointing experience. JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH DONT WASTE YOUR TIME
