Cafe Caribbean

In all honestly I wasn't expecting much from a small hole in the wall located at the back of Spitalfields Market but I was happily proved wrong! The curried mutton was to die for - the perfect balance of spice and flavour. When eaten with the perfectly cooked rice and peas (which is hard to get right) it was simply amazing! Had a side of Mac & Cheese, which also was pretty decent. Would 10/10 recommend.

World class location, as a Half Jamaican it just heaven to have a place like this in Spitafields. the food is amazing, the staff are always smiling and lovely. you get an amazing amount of food, that would fill most people up; the taste is incredible and its just amazing. if your looking for food in the Liverpool street/ shoreditch area look no futher.

I got the beef stew that was piping hot. With a side of plantains which was warmed up before being handed to me. The crew are friendly and efficient. It is a small stall but they smoothly flow through the place. The food was really good and give you the energy to walk around the rest of the market and enjoy the day

Food: Me and my friend got the Jamaican jerk chicken and the oxtail with beansand the former eclipsed the latter. The jerk chicken had an excellent amount of spice to it as well as the meat falling off the bone. It was made to perfection. The oxtail with beans were good, but unfortunately just didn't hit the heights that the jerk chicken did - that being said the oxtail was no slouch and the flavour was good albeit a bit salty. The fried chicken and plantains we ordered as well were both solid if unspectacular. Admittedly, we did get there 20 minutes after closing so seeing our food be microwaved as well as there having no sides was disappointing but very understandable from the perspective of the restaurant as we did enter after it officially closed. Service: The service was okay. Not the best but definitely not the worst. Atmosphere: hard to rank that as its part of Spitalfields Market. But the energy around the stall was good.

I had their white rice, curry mutton and fried plantain as an extra. It was very tasty...might be a bit too spicy for others but I totally enjoyed it...staff were friendly...I would recommend to those who like a spicy curry other than typical Indian cuisine...prices a bit on the higher side...but everything is these days.

TLDR; Great Service and Rice & Peas, but Jerk Chicken Falls Short. If you're looking for a place to grab a quick and easy lunch during the workday, this spot has friendly staff and a speedy ordering process that'll get you in and out in no time. The rice and peas were definitely a highlight of the meal, with the perfect texture and flavor. Unfortunately, the jerk chicken left something to be desired. While it was cooked well, it lacked the smoky flavor that comes from being cooked over a drum bbq. Overall, it's a decent spot for a quick bite, but if you're looking for standout jerk chicken, you might want to look elsewhere.
