"For around a tenner you can get a takeaway box from Jay Dees, packed to the brim with charred jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, beans, and carrots, covered in a spicy and fruity sauce. This Caribbean spot is as delicious as it is generous, and if the weather’s right, grab some saltfish patties to go and walk up the road to Tavistock Gardens." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"The first time we ate Jay Dees, we sat alone, on a bench, with a box of jerk chicken and rice and peas that could quite easily feed two people. Needless to say the table (bench and knee) was laid, everything was wolfed down with haste and passion, and nothing has changed how we feel about it since. The Jamaican takeaway-only spot in Notting Hill is worth going out of your way for. For jerk, for patties, for oxtail stew, for yourself." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
"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
"The first time we ate Jay Dees, we sat alone, on a bench, with a tub of jerk and rice and peas, that could quite easily feed two people. Needless to say the table (bench and knee) was laid, everything was wolfed with a slightly concerning speed and passion, and nothing has changed how we feel about it since. The Caribbean takeaway-only spot in Notting Hill is worth going out of your way for. For jerk, for patties, for oxtail, for yourself." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"For under a tenner at Jay Dee’s, 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 takeaway Caribbean menu, from curried goat to saltfish patties. If the weather’s right, walk up the road a minute to Tavistock Gardens, find yourself a spot, and get stuck in." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
