G.O.A.T’s BBQ — Restaurant in London

I don't ever leave bad reviews, however I do not want people to experience what we did. Unfortunately this was the worst Caribbean food my partner and I have ever tasted. We ordered on Uber Eats. The food came before the expected delivery time. However the food was inedible. The Mac and cheese had no taste at all and was stringy cheese in texture just horrible. The curry goat with rice and peas comes in one container, and had a foul smell to it, was a cross between sweet and fishy tasting, which no curry goat should taste or smell like. We took one bite and threw the food - which has never happened to us. When we called the restaurant, we were told 'it is cooked fresh from morning' I ordered at 6.30pm. The restaurant were not sorry at all and lacked good customer service, their response was that they are not Caribbean, and ultimately said it's down to taste preference, which if 3 people took one bite and had to spit it out, that's no longer preference but poor quality food. The restaurant did say if we wanted something for free they would give this to us, but unfortunatrly the food was that bad I would not ever go back there even for free food. The worst experience I have...

I’ve been to G.O.A.T’s a few times now and every visit has been fantastic. Where to start….! The inside is quite small, but it’s very cool inside. All the staff are lovely and friendly, Curtis the owner and chef is usually about, he usually says hello and keen to know what you think about the food. Love that he wants everything super fresh and doesn’t keep things overnight. It does mean your food may be a little slower than other places, but remember that wait means your food is going to be quality as it’s all cooked up freshly. The food itself is amazing, I’ve had the shark, kingfish, lamb chops, roti, chow and the battered ice cream. The photo I’ve attached is the dutty wine lamb chops, couldn’t believe the taste when I had these! Highly recommend the lamb and the chow. Drinks are great too, they have wines unique to the restaurant that you can’t buy in the supermarket, they always have a rum punch on which is excellent and there’s beers + soft drinks.

I cannot recommend it enough and you’ve not tried Caribbean food before you’re...

It's great to have a West Indian takeaway close to work. This Tridadian restaurant is wonderfully colourful, serving Guiness and Rum punches but because its not Jamaican, don't expect Jerk chicken or rice and peas. Or rather the rice and peas have a different twist to it, prepared the Tridadian way. Highly recommended are the shark bake (best for lunch because its quite light) and their coleslaw. Will come back to try their curries properly, although they tasted good when I sampled some off my friend. The only reason for 4 stars is that you can never get through to them on the phone, opening times are unpredictable ( we came twice on Monday lunch hour to find it closed, shutters down, despite the opening times on website). We have given them a feedback on this, but, to no avail! Not sure if they are perpetually short-staffed but, could do better with...
