Troy Bar

"This little Caribbean bar does one of London’s best lunchtime deals: jerk chicken or curry goat with rice and peas, plantain, and coleslaw for £7.50. Bear in mind that this is primarily a bar—with jazz and funk nights throughout the week—and at lunch it’s takeaway-only. You can still get food to go in the evening, but it costs a little more after 2:30pm." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager

"Maybe, probably, definitely, the best thing in Shoreditch these days is Troy Bar. This little Caribbean bar does London’s best lunchtime deal: £7 for jerk chicken or curry goat with rice and peas, plantain, and coleslaw. Bear in mind that this is primarily a bar, so the lunchtime feel is very much functional: chairs, tables, and just enough natural light. But if you’re more likely to take it to go, then it’s worth knowing that you can pick up a box for a couple of quid more in the evening." - team infatuation

"Working in Shoreditch is something of an endurance test, but through various short-lived periods of employment it’s Troy Bar that’s been our lunchtime light. The Caribbean jazz bar is right in the mix of things with live music on most nights of the week, but during the day it’s a dimly-lit room making delicious jerk chicken, rice and peas, coleslaw and plantain for just over a fiver. Head over earlyish, grab a seat, and decompress." - jake missing
