Good Life Jerk Centre — Restaurant in London

I stopped in to get take-away after my daughter and I had a hard day, craving some home-cooked, comfort food.

The service was excellent - friendly, happy, and nothing was too much trouble. It had a relaxed but professional family vibe.

I noticed how everyone working was wearing hair nets, and the place looked clean.

I ordered a whole heap of food - jerk bbq wings, pepper steak, both with rice and peas, mac & cheese, festivals and dumplings (oh yes - it was that kinda day!), and coleslaw. All of the meat was well seasoned and tender. Good sized wings, seasoned well underneath a good bbq sauce. None of the steak was fatty, fell apart under the fork. Rice and peas perfectly seasoned and cooked. Mac & cheese was a good comfort side. Coleslaw was a good balance. Festivals were just the right amount of sweet, and dumplings had risen just the right amount. Neither were too greasy. Portions were generous, especially considering the quality of the food and the reasonable price.

To top it off they have frozen slushies - we had tropical, which was something we'd never usually have but it was a long hot day and they went down good!

They're doing...

I felt like someone played a joke on me. Such good reviews, I was expecting more. I was craving some good home cooked Jamaican soup so went to Good Life for the first time to order some chicken soup to take away. Always treated myself to a couple of festivals.

The in-house experience was good. The guys behind the counter and in the kitchen were all good. They ended up giving me the soup someone else had ordered and not turned up for (I was skeptical as didn’t want any stale, gone cold, leftover soup) but the guy behind the counter reassured me it had only been there for a couple of minutes.

Got home, really excited about my food but got festivals that were crazy oily and so rock hard I couldn’t even finish eating them and soup that had hardly any food in. Not one dumpling! Where were my potatoes? Yam? I was soooo disappointed but it was too late to do anything about it.

I’m new to the area, and was hoping I’d found my new local Jamaican spot for some good home cooked food but unfortunately, this was such a disappointing experience that the search...

If I could give 0 stars I would. These people are very impolite, they got mine and my partners order wrong then tried to blame it on us even called me rude for being upset. If I had sworn or cussed her out I could understand, at that point I just wanted a refund for the inconvenience and the attitude. I have severe anxiety which I take a high dose of citlopram for, I don’t like confrontation so I handed the phone over to my partner for him to rectify the situation but the woman on the other end was so sarcastic and disrespectful it gave me a panic attack. in the end I told her we’ll go directly through Ubereats, I’d already sent them a message with pictures for evidence and I recorded the full conversation with the horrible manager for good measure. Will NOT be back, we didn’t even bother eating what was delivered, took one bite of the oily ackee...
