7even Caribbean Restaurant and bar — Restaurant in London

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience at 7even Caribbean Restaurant & Bar!

From the very first bite to the last sip, everything about my evening here screamed island vibes done right.

Food:

Jerk Chicken – expertly smoked with a perfect balance of heat and sweetness; the meat fell off the bone.

Curry Goat – tender, richly spiced and slow‑cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with fluffy rice and peas.

Mac ‘n’ Cheese & Fried Plantain – the ultimate comfort‑food combo: creamy, cheesy goodness next to caramelised plantain slices that tasted like sunshine. Portions were generous, plating was vibrant, and you could tell every dish was prepared with pride.

Service: The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely passionate about the menu. From guiding us through spice levels to checking in at just the right moments, they made us feel like VIPs without hovering. Special shout‑out to Jamal behind the bar for recommending the rum punch – dangerously delicious!

Atmosphere: Think laid‑back Caribbean beach bar meets modern London lounge: colourful murals, reggae and soca tunes at a conversation‑friendly volume, and fairy‑light touches that make the space feel cosy yet lively. A great spot for date night or a catch‑up with friends.

Extras we loved:

Creative cocktail list (try the Mango Mojito)

Vegan options clearly marked

Reasonably priced for the quality and portion size

Easy walk from Romford station

Verdict: 7even Caribbean isn’t just another restaurant—it’s a mini tropical getaway right in Romford. If you’re craving authentic Caribbean flavours, top‑notch service and an atmosphere that lifts your mood the moment you walk in, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back for the Sunday reggae brunch!

My opinion of this restaurant is not the best nor the worst. It's pretty average. It's located at a strategic location, which is right at the traffic lights junction, so most people will notice it. Be warned though, there is no parking as a result of that location so you will have to find parking elsewhere. The waitress was nice and warm, which made a difference. The restaurant had better ambience though than some others I've visited. It's just quite small. I noticed there was just one waitress and one chef. That could put a damper on things if the restaurant got full. Even though it wasn't full, it still took more than 25 minutes to get our dishes because the chef had to prepare dishes for a couple who came in to order takeaway. It meant we had to wait longer, which was annoying, but the waitress was nice, so I couldn't complain. Now when the food arrived, a few things to note. My dish of goat curry was really watery. Some corn flour to thicken the sauce would have been nice, but then again, I have noticed Carribean curry is always watery. My partners oxtail was a bit watery too. The waitress also didn't provide all the complete cutlery, so we had to keep calling for spoon and this and that which again was annoying. The meat in each curry was cooked to perfection I must say but the sauces, just too watery. I ordered a tropical punch and what the waitress showed me was readymade bottles of cocktails that she poured into a glass and added ice. I didnt even taste the alcohol yet this was supposed to costing almost £10. Their cocktails are really expensive, by the way. The cheapest is £9.75. I've been wanting to visit this restaurant. Been there now and...

I don't usually write reviews but I feel this is important because it feels like we have experienced daylight robbery. Tonight, I thought it would be a good idea to get some Caribbean food for the household where everybody was up for it. I went to my regular place where I would place an order but sadly did not go through as soon as I ordered they were stopped taking orders. As we all still what did Caribbean food by pursued to find another restaurant which is when I found 7even Caribbean Restaurant.

To start with, everything that I wanted to order the price was already twice as much compared to what I was going to pay at the other restaurant. I was expecting it to be better because of this but when it had arrived it was a whole different story. My peppered prawns did not come, the jerk chicken did not have any flavour and was burned to a crisp on one side, the rice and peas was dry and had a really distinct coconut taste to it, the macaroni cheese for what I paid was a awful portion as it hardly fit the container and the coleslaw was not coleslaw.

I must give credit where credit is due and say that plantain and the jerk chicken wings wasn't too bad and was acceptable. It’s a shame however that the rest of the order was a total disappointment.

I will not be ordering from this restaurant again as prices are not matching of the same standard. I have eaten from the other Caribbean restaurant I was going to order from and their food is much cheaper and should be charging what this...
