Curry goat decent , got takeaway. The sauce bit on the runny side but portion was a decent size

The food here is absolutely divine! I’ve been searching for a Caribbean takeaway for a while now and I’m so glad I’ve found this one. Id recommend the mac and cheese and curry chicken. The fish fritters were also lovely! We ordered 2 portions of the curry chicken however after the order was made we were quickly contacted to be told they only had one portion but gave us other options, it was dealt with great. We will definitely be returning!! Thank you for the wonderful food!

Didn't know this place existed till an hr or so ago. It was only a take away, and it was 17:30. There wasn't going to be an atmosphere in most restaurants in dunstable at that time. It was very pleasant and friendly though but the 3 stars reflect only that as I've never been there to eat in when busy. The food was so good though. I ordered ackee and saltfish with rice and the curry goat sauce. The dish was cooked in my opinion exactly how ackee and saltfish should be done. Nor far off how I do mine. There's is better. I also had the mac&cheese. The issue I have with lots of places is just how easy a dish this is. So many ruin something so simple, and it ends up dry and tasteless. This however was on point. The mac was cooked to perfection, it fused with the cheese easily as it should and was moist when eaten. The cheese on top was melted perfectly giving it exactly what it needed to give it that extra I'd eat that again touch to it. I also had a lamb patty which was rammed with filling stuffed inside the patty that had a wonderful texture to it. Not one dry mouthful and even better when dipped in the sauce. Business seemed to be slow, so if this type of food is your thing then help them do better. One last thing. The portions are huge. Value for money is off the chart. Cheers guys

I simply love the delicious food from this take away. The service is great and delivery is always on time. Authentic Caribbean cuisine, fresh ingredients and tasty. I highly recommend this place.

Didn't realise this has been open for 2 years! Not many Jamaican food spots open on a Sunday. Decent size portions, good value, and typical Jamaican flavours Nicely decorated and they take party bookings.

Incredible. How have you been in Dunstable for 2yrs and I only found you today?! Absolutely incredible. I wasn’t joking when I asked if you’ll adopt me! See you again soon.
