"When you’re in the kind of rush that means you can’t rely on other people to get you home on time, what you need is a self service situation. Enter this Caribbean cash-only takeaway spot that you really want to know about. For £7.50 you can get a tupperware packed to the brim with charred jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, beans, and carrots, all covered in a perfectly spicy and fruity sauce. It’s as delicious as it is generous, and there’s lots more on the menu as well, from curried goat to saltfish patties. Order a bunch of stuff and walk up the road a minute to Tavistock Gardens, where you can find yourself a nice spot to eat and chat." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
