Eighty's Kitchen — Restaurant in London

I was in town to pick up some medicine, but my phone died and I couldn’t access the info I needed. It was around lunchtime, hungry and stuck, I found a small African restaurant that looked decent and decided to step in.

I asked the only staff member (a tall African guy) if I could charge my phone for just two minutes due to an emergency. He told me he was using the charger. I explained the situation, but he just repeated that he was using it. As I was leaving, I noticed another charger by the dining area and asked again. He replied, “Buy something first.”

From a place that’s meant to reflect African culture, the cold attitude felt far from the warm, generous and welcoming culture it’s supposed to represent. This didn’t feel like that at all!

My intention was to dine while my phone charged, but the dismissive attitude and lack of empathy left a sour taste in my mouth. I simply couldn't bring myself to patronise a place where customer service and basic human decency seem to be in short supply.

While I cannot comment on the food, I can confidently say that this is not a place where you'll find good customer service or a...

food wouldn't be cooked or not be on the menu. The staff that I've encountered always have a attitude, mainly being the younger staff. The portion sizes they give are rubbish. The rice is always hard and the curry goat is just bone, ain't no meat. When I asked for a salad, which is a side not even part of the meal, the salad was dry no flavour, just leafs no sauce. It was a disappointment, like am I a rubbit. To be fair though the taste of the food is really enjoyable but the price is too much for the portions that I'm getting. When I do enter the shop it's mainly just filled with the staffs friends and you'll have to wait for them to see you to get served and when you do get served they take long to give you your food. I don't really recommend anyone to eat there, the food portions is small and overpriced and the...

Was walking around and was like oh Caribbean food, I need to try this. Walked in and honestly didn’t know I was suppose to hit the bell to order so I was just standing around for a bit until another customer told me. So while placing my order the cashier couldn’t really hear me and I couldn’t hear him cause the music was a little loud but I love that type of music so waiting for my platter was a good vibe. Ordered rice and peas with chicken stew but got white rice with the stew and honestly… they did me well. That stew was probably one of the best things I’ve had in all of London! I’m not even joking super flavorful, had great flavor and spice to the stew. Only thing wrong with the dish was that there were a lot of bones in it. Flavor wise tho 10/10. Definitely a must if you’re...
