Rhythm Kitchen E17

Rhythm Kitchen E17 is a Caribbean restaurant on Hoe Street in Walthamstow, founded by Delroy Dixon and named by Thatsup as one of the best restaurants in Walthamstow. Thatsup describes it as cooking "food with love, serving up a menu of mouth-watering Caribbean food such as crunchy saltfish fritters, fragrant jackfruit curries, tangy jerk chicken and coconut-peppered prawns," with cocktails available alongside the food. The restaurant serves dishes inspired by Delroy's family recipes: jerk chicken, curry goat, braised oxtail, saltfish fritters and a Caribbean-style afternoon tea that has proven to be one of the restaurant's most distinctive offerings.

The menu celebrates the breadth of Caribbean cooking: jerk chicken (charcoal-grilled with Scotch bonnet marinade), curry goat, rice and peas, braised oxtail, plantain, ackee and saltfish, and fresh coconut-peppered prawns. Caribbean afternoon tea served by booking. A great selection of rum cocktails, tropical drinks and Wray & Nephew rum complement the food. Open daily for lunch and dinner; evening bookings recommended at weekends.
