Excellent authentic tasting caribbean food. Every meal I've tried tasted the business!  Ideal for non-pepper eating folk but you can just ask for more pepper if that's your fancy. (Try the coleslaw, it's the best).

This place feels like where the locals gathered in mealtime and have good chats about everything or the politics on their TV. Nice vibe. Chef Kevin is friendly so as his customers. Food feels homemade. I like the jerk chicken, and the spicy carrots that was cooked with bonnet pepper. My friend liked their curry goat.

Experience the true essence of Jamaican cuisine! Indulge in the delightful flavors of traditional hard food such as boiled dumplings, boiled green banana, yam, and plantain, perfectly complemented by the succulent curry goat that is an absolute showstopper. And let's not overlook the delectable oxtail that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Each dish you try is simply perfection, promising a treat you won't forget. This place is a bustling haven, attracting a constant flow of satisfied customers and serving as a local community hub during the evenings. Regulars gather here for dinner, engaging in lively discussions about the day's news, politics, films, and more. As a result, I have found myself dining here and even making new friends. The heart and soul of this establishment is none other than the attentive owner, Daddy Shine! He goes above and beyond, taking the time to remember your name and preferred culinary delights, adding personal touches that truly make the experience unforgettable. For an unparalleled Jamaican food adventure, look no further. This is the place to immerse yourself in authentic flavors and create lasting memories.

Absolutely incredible! Likely to be my "go to" spot in South London for Caribbean food. Can eat-in or takeaway. As other commenters noted, the portions are large and the menu prices are small. Please note that the menu prices in the photos shown are not up-to-date but it's just a 50p price difference. We had the goat curry with rice and peas, stew chicken with hard food, and then lamb and chicken patties. Curry and stew had tons of meat, patties did as well. Perhaps the best part of visiting this place was the proprietor. We forgot to get his name but he's the kindest guy ever and today service-oriented. He cooks himself and the restaurant and kitchen area are clean. It was comfortable to eat in here and it definitely had a positive neighborhood vibe. We will definitely be back!!! Tastes better than some food we had on vacation in Jamaica over a decade ago. Totally deserves all the positive reviews!

Nice food. Staff were very friendly when my partner and I visited there for the first time. We sat down in pleasant surroundings. The only knock back was that we found a part of a bottle lid in the food. The manager (I m not sure) came over and I believe would have replaced the meal but partner said it was ok. So from that I do think they are professional in how they address issues raised by their customers. I recommend the fruit drink very scrumptious.

Island Favourite is a homely welcoming environment with good food and friendly staff and customers. It has been my regular take away/dine in or just chill out ends for years. A nice slice of Jamaica 🇯🇲. The shop attracts a mix of customers from all walks of life and always has a good vibe.
