"One bite of Kaieteur Kitchen’s pepper pot is all you need to be hooked. Maybe it’s the carefully stewed oxtail that melts in your mouth. Maybe it’s the aromatic sauce where whiffs of cassava, cinnamon, and cloves travel up your nose before spooning your heart. Either way, the attentive and nurturing service of Faye Gomes (the owner of this wonderful Guyanese spot in Elephant and Castle) will make you want to come back weekly. Kaieteur Kitchen isn’t the most decked-out of restaurants—it’s got a handful of small tables on one side and a takeaway counter on the other—but it’s undoubtedly one of the most flavour-packed." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
