Ayannas London Review - Canary Wharf - London - The Infatuation

"Canary Wharf isn’t known for its comforting, familial atmosphere but Ayannas goes some way to change that. The modern Caribbean restaurant is located on the corner of an A-road, and inside you’ll find white tablecloths, a grand piano, and curry goat served in filo pastry crowns. Despite these fancy affectations, what stands out about Ayannas is how relaxed everyone in the room is. Regulars are greeted like family, birthdays are celebrated with vibrant pink cocktails, and iron-y callaloo spring rolls are happily munched. The boneless curry goat is popular, even if it is missing a slap of scotch bonnet, and the weekend-only rum cake is a favourite among regulars." - Jake Missing

London’s Best Caribbean Food and Restaurants | Eater London

"In the shadows of east London’s Canary Wharf exists a rare opportunity for elegantly dressed curry goat and rice ‘n‘ peas accompanied by piano and swooning live music. The family here has endeavoured to introduce a level of silver service not commonly found in the cuisine; for afters, the indulgent homemade rum cake is not to be missed." - Riaz Phillips

Honestly Ayannas is amazing. It’s perfect if you’re looking for an elegant and flavourful Caribbean fine dining experience. The staff are so friendly without being encroaching and the cocktails are strong yet still well balanced with taste. Definitely worth a try. Perfect for a date or girls lunch.

I took my partner here for his birthday and we were amazed by the food and service. The restaurant is stunning for starters - a beautiful location and spot for a cute date night. The food was phenomenal - I got the oxtail whilst my partner got fish but we both loved our meals. I've sadly forgotten her name but our waitress was so lovely - she served with a smile and had so much charisma. They gave my partner a complimentary mocktail for his birthday which was a very sweet gesture. The only negative from my experience was the coleslaw wasn't great but besides that, it's all positive.

The food and aesthetics was absolutely amazing. Being a Jamaican, I felt so proud being there knowing that the food and service was 10/10. The food was so flavoursome, the right level of seasonings and sauce. The oxtail melted in my mouth and the chill prawns, wow! So succulent and full of flavour. the food is reasonably priced and the cocktails were extremely strong. I cannot wait to go back! Ayannas was 10/10 would defo recommend

We visited for a birthday dinner. I saw talks of AYANNAS from TikTok and decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised especially as the reviews on TikTok weren’t great. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived; I believe we were the second seating in there at the time; which is why I think it wasn’t so bad we were late for our booking lol one staff that manned the front desk, took orders, made the drinks and brought out the meals; KUDOS to her! We didn’t have to wait long before starters and mains and drinks filled the gap. The rum punch is not for the weak, might I add lol. As Jamaicans we don’t tend to go to restaurants that serve our food but I will definitely recommend AYANNAS.

Something different for date night. We were greeted with a kind and warm waiter. The food was tasty. The flavours in the meat are so pungent and fresh. The sweet chilli prawns were overly sweet but were cooked to perfection. I don’t think the portion sizes of the food was worth the price we paid.

Every time I'm in London, it is a necessity that I make a booking at Ayannas. The food is consistently wonderful, but Ayanna remembers me every time and is so warm and welcoming. The whole experience of being in her space and in her presence is always one of my highlights. I can't wait for my next visit.

This was my second visit to this restaurant and I'm disappointed to say that the second experience was even worse than the first! Came here for a family members birthday and we had all pre booked and pre paid for our meals. You either had the option of paying £40 for a two course meal or £45 for a three course meal. So imagine going with a partner, excluding your drinks, you've very easily found yourself racking up a £90 bill. By the time drinks are added you've very easily gone into the ££ Hundreds! With the meal being more on the pricey end, and for a restaurant to claim they are "fine dining" without a doubt I am expecting the experience to be worth the money. However, the restaurant was heavily short staffed to the point that the bartender was in between two roles of bartending and waitressing. The entire time spent at the restaurant there were only 4 different members of staff visible in the restaurant,who had to shift between roles. Of course, this had a dramatic effect in the quality of customer service which was consequently offered. Despite having already pre ordered our meals, we were left waiting 90 minutes before starters began coming out of the kitchen. I ordered the "cheesy lobster" which was dressed up nicely on a fancy plate but as a Bon vivant, it was simply cheddar cheese melted over lobster dressed up to be more than it was. After starters were eaten, it took almost another 40 mins for our "pre ordered" meals to come out. The rice which accompanied the main meals did not bring back the familiar and warm flavours you would typically get with a Jamaican curry/ jerk chicken. It was bland, had very little flavour to the point where the taste was almost gentrified. It lacked the authenticity and rich taste of Jamaican flavours. The jerk chicken was overly glazed in a sweet sauce and was not "jerked" enough. It had more of a zesty after taste. Contributing to the whole experience was the lack of air conditioning, in a restaurant which supposedly offers a fine dining experience, to have guests sweat whilst attempting to enjoy a nice meal is quite a disgrace. Amidst the grandness of the decoration, a modern air conditioning would have easily fitted onto the roof, making he experience just that more bearable. I think the concept of pre ordering meals was lost to Ayanna's. Even after guests chose their meals in advance, to have to wait over an hour to eat is shambolic. If only the same urgency was applied as it was when requesting that each guest pay first. If I was to bring my own friends for an authentic and rich experience trying out Jamaican food, Ayanna's would unfortunately not be a contender.

I haven't been to Ayanna's to eat in yet but I order deliveries from here regularly and I haven't had a bad experience with the food yet. The delivery time can vary but I know Caribbean food isn't something you can cook quickly so I don't mind the wait because I know it'll be worth it. Highly recommend
