Roger's Kitchen — Restaurant in London

So good to find a Caribbean food spot where the flavours are on point. Once again a great indicator of a good authentic food spot is seeing the people's of that food spot frequent the place. I was happy to see that my people's were turning up to the spot like bees to honey. It was a conveyor belt of beautiful melanin packaged in joyous friends and families connecting over good food. We was with a big party of about 30 and while we was waiting, I noticed that all the plates returning to the kitchen were completely empty. Another good sign. I was situated next to the kitchen and smells that were proceeding were tantalisingly good. The last good sign before we had the food.

My only critique was the the waiting time before orders were taken took a bit long but as soon as they were taken they were very efficient in getting the food out to everyone.

When the food arrived it did not disappoint. We chose from the set menu but me and Wifey are too nuff so we added a few more starters to the party. We had the Ebony Wings, Tiger Prawns, Ribs and Calamari. Flavour of the Wings and Ribs were banging, the Prawns and the Calamari were cooked delightfully but needed a bit more punch for me.

Next I had Curry Goat and Wifey had Seabass in coconut milk. Both dishes were amazing! Goat was seasoned well and succulent and the Seabass was cooked perfectly and delicately seasoned. TT! The dishes were accompanied with steamed veg, fluffy basmati white rice and coconut infused rice and peas. Beautiful!

To finish of the meal I first ordered the Caribbean fruit cake and cream. I cheekily sent this back as it was not to my preference. I like my black cake to be more dense, packed with fruit and rich in alcohol. Their style was more fluffy and light which many of the other guests eagerly demolished. I reordered the sticky toffee pudding and ice-cream which was delicious. Wifey enjoyed the same.

Throughout the night the music was pumping and the drinks were flowing. I enjoyed a kicking rum punch and wifey sipped on a creamy thick pinacolada. They were both good.

Some would say that the experience was a bit pricey but I would disagree as I understand that you are not paying for ingredients alone but you are paying for a skilled team lead by a visionary chef who has bare overheads to meet before he gets what he deserves. So if you want some amazing food, good cocktails in a decent atmosphere, check out Roger's Kitchen. The best Caribbean Restaurant that I have...

I was visiting London from Florida. Roger's Kitchen stands as a beacon of culinary Caribbean excellence, offering a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. The ambiance at Roger's Kitchen strikes a harmonious balance between sophisticated elegance and a warm, cozy atmosphere. The decor is thoughtfully curated. It’s a setting that feels both special enough for a celebration and relaxed enough for a casual evening out. The warm greeting upon arrival, along with the attentive yet unobtrusive care throughout the meal, exemplifies the staff's professionalism and genuine hospitality. Our servers were knowledgeable and patient. The level of service significantly elevates the overall dining experience, making you feel truly valued as a guest. Roger's Kitchen boasts a menu that celebrates fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavors, well presented. I had the Saltfish Fritters for starters, which were moist, not dry, not greasy, but just right. They were bursting with the savory essence of perfectly seasoned saltfish, encased in a delicate, golden-crisp exterior. They were light and flavorful. Next was Roger's Kitchen Seafood Platter. The seafood platter is a true testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality. A magnificent array of fresh, succulent seafood was artfully arranged, featuring everything from Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Prawns, and Scallops. Each component was cooked to perfection, retaining its natural sweetness and texture. For dessert, I had the Exquisite Sticky Toffee Pudding with Ice Cream. The sticky toffee pudding is a dessert that will linger in your memory long after the last spoonful. This classic British dessert is elevated to an art form at Roger's Kitchen. It was neither too sweet nor too heavy. Paired with a scoop of perfectly chilled, creamy vanilla ice cream, the contrasting temperatures and textures created a truly exquisite finale. With its inviting ambiance, impeccable service, and a menu that delivers on every promise of flavor and quality, it stands out as a true gem. A memorable and thoroughly enjoyable visit whilst out in London with friends. Thank you, Mr. Roger himself and your awesome staff. Visited:...

I first went here in October 2023 for a birthday booking. Whilst the food was exceptional and the drinks, tasty and strong, the service was slightly slow and staggered. This was partly down to the fact that at the same time as my party of 10 there was also another party of 25+, so it’s understandable as there as a lot to manage. It took long for drinks to get to us – at this booking the food came out in a timely manner, so no complaints in that regard. On to the food : everything from the starter to the main to the dessert was beautiful. Everything was cooked to perfection (because we were a party of 10, we ate off the set menu and there is still an excellent choice off of this so we were very happy). We could not fault this food whatsoever, everyone enjoyed what they had. The drinks were really really nice and the owner Roger is a lovely man. My grandmother enjoyed it so much that she asked if I could book for her birthday in November (this was yesterday). In just four short weeks, the service has improved tenfold – not that it was particularly bad to begin with, but there was definitely obvious improvements to make it level with the quality and taste of the food. This time round, the staff were able to manage all the tables so much better – mind you all the tables were full. The drinks came out much faster which was great, they were as strong as ever & so tasty, and once again the food was brilliant. This is definitely a new family favourite restaurant and as it was my grandmother’s 93rd birthday, Roger himself gave her a bottle to take home which she was extremely pleased about. We will always come back here because we can rely on beautifully cooked and tasty food, delicious drinks and an amazing atmosphere, and now...
