    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.

    In all honesty when you're as white as pint of Tippex and come from the foetid marshes of the land…read morethat culture forgot (Essex) then upon hearing the radio advert for Maureen's ("West Yorkshire's Headquarters for Caribbean food") you may find yourself compelled bodily to take part in its delights. Don't fight it. Give in to the pull. It's small, it's basic and it's not going to win any glamous location awards but STUFF that, the food is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Where to even begin....just do what I did when I lived nearby, go every week until you've eaten everything on the menu, even the cow's feet (I aint kidding). Wash it all down with Guiness punch and then top it off with the only reasonable thing to have after a plate of glorious, flavourful, fresh Caribbean food.........a giant slab of homemade, hot, sweet sponge pudding smothered in an orgasm of thick creamy custard. I am physically salivating at the thought........I have to go. TAXI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s if you are lucky you'll go when Maureen is singing her hymns at the top of her rich, warm voice........I wonder if she realises she's already in heaven? Spicy, filling, creamy, delicious heaven.

    This place has it all. An extensive menu, joyful friendly staff, big portions and unbelievably…read morecheap prices! It's an informal, casual style cafe with a buzzing atmosphere and the staff have that warmth that makes you feel welcome everytime. The banter with the regulars can be hilarious too providing a free soap opera style enterainment. When I got the bill the first time around my mouth was wide open & the lady asked if it was too much! Her reply was gorgeous - "Dem locals wot cum in dis place don't like no 'spensive prices lady" and she gave me a big grin. I always leave a tip but noted the regulars don't lol! Today i had akee and saltfish and in the past i've had curried goat, mutton and naturally the wonderful rice and peas or dumplings - I also love fried plantains. There are always newspapers to read and lots of smiley faces, so with the great food to fill you up for next to nothing it's a great place to meet for lunch, especially when you are on a budget. Thank you Maureens! xc
