Chew & Taste

Tucked away in the heart of London, Chew & Taste brings the vibrant, sun-drenched flavours of the Caribbean to the capital. This lively takeaway has earned its reputation with a solid Food Hygiene Rating and a loyal following who return time and again for that authentic island warmth. The team here know their way around a jerk pit and a curry pot, turning out dishes that taste like they've been lifted straight from a Kingston kitchen. It's the kind of place where the aroma hits you before you've even opened the door.

You'll find all the classics done right: tender, smoky jerk chicken with that perfect char and a kick of scotch bonnet heat, rich and fragrant curry goat that falls apart on the fork, and fluffy rice and peas cooked in creamy coconut milk. The fried plantain is sweet and caramelised, while the patties are flaky and packed with spiced beef. Whether you're after a hearty lunch or a weekend feast, this spot delivers big, bold Caribbean soul food. Order ahead to skip the queue – this one's a local treasure.
