"Curry Mutton Few things are as satisfying as sitting down with a box bursting with rice and peas, and a couple of ladles of gently stewed mutton in a warmingly spiced curry sauce. It’s what you should expect when you go to Jay Dees, as the Notting Hill Caribbean takeaway is an expert in generous cooking and flavours that you can’t help but dig into when you’re right outside or around the corner. Curry chicken and mutton are go-tos, but it’s the latter—with slowly simmered, gently stewed pink strands of meat that fall from the bone—we find ourselves ordering out loud before our brain has realised what’s going on." - rianne shlebak, jake missing
"In between Westbourne Park and Ladbroke Grove tube stations is Jay Dees—a Caribbean spot you should know about. For around a tenner you can get a takeaway box packed to the brim with charred jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, beans, and carrots, 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. If the weather’s right, walk up the road to Tavistock Gardens, find yourself a spot, and get stuck in." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"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
"So your mates are all off for a weekend of wild swimming, sleeping in luxury yurts, and eating salad under the stars. While you can’t erect a full-on safari tent in your local park, you can surround yourself with food stalls and eat on the grass. Take yourself off to Jay Dees, a Caribbean spot right around the corner from Portobello Market. A box of their takeaway charred jerk chicken in a spicy, fruity sauce is best enjoyed in nearby Tavistock Gardens, or wandering around sampling food from other stalls.
