Cindy's Caribbean Streetfood

Galashiels has a genuine gem in Cindy's Caribbean Streetfood, a takeaway that brings the bold flavours of the islands to the Scottish Borders. With a stellar 4.7/5 from 54 reviews and a clean Food Hygiene Rating of Pass from July 2025, this spot has quickly earned a loyal following. It's the kind of place where locals roll up for a serious flavour hit — no frills, just proper, punchy cooking that makes you feel like you've been invited to a family kitchen.

The menu leans into classic streetfood territory, with jerk chicken that's beautifully charred and smoky, fluffy rice and peas, and fried plantains that hit that perfect sweet-savoury note. Everything comes with a real attention to seasoning — think Scotch bonnet heat balanced by allspice and thyme. It's takeaway-only, so you can grab a box and head home or find a quiet spot nearby. If you're after Caribbean cooking that doesn't mess about, Cindy's delivers every time.
