Living in London for over 40 years and eating from 50+ Carribbean restaurants/ takeaways, having a Carribbean heritage, being married to a Trinidadian and travelling to the Carribbean at least once a year, I feel I am qualified to review Jamaican Jerk's authenticity and quality.
I first ordered from Jamaican Jerk two days ago and it was so good that two days later I wanted to order again. Unfortunately it was on a Sunday and they were closed, which left me contemplating just how much I enjoyed their food, hence this review.
Portions were reasonable and the quality and taste was one of the best I've had in the UK. Using their website it's clear they are mindful of food allergies and being able to send the chef notes on any requirements is a nice bonus.

When I came back (good 15 mile drive) and had my dinner, I just felt that I was eating delicious food straight out of the kitchen and could definitely feel the love and effort they have put in the preparation of the food!
If anyone wants to look up my reviews, the last Caribbean food that I had tried was from Turtle Bay Staines and that left a lot to be desired (humble personal opinion) but this one just made my day.
Thank you for a hearty and...
