London’s Best Caribbean Food | Trinidadian Roti Restaurants in London | Eater London

"Though Guyana has a long history of British rule, its diaspora in Britain is much smaller than the Caribbean islands with which it has a deep cultural connection. With this, Umana Yana exists as one of the very few of Guyanese takeout spots in the entire country, let alone London. Here, Guyanese specialities such as slow-simmering sweet pepperpot stew, the classic okra-chicken combo, and curried meat and fish are all on display. The sweet pastry offering which is part and parcel of Indo-Caribbean trade don’t disappoint, with the likes of cassava pone — a cassava sweet potato cake — eddoe balls — formed from root vegetable dasheen — and the vividly coloured salara coconut swirl cake." - Riaz Phillips

The food was okay. We went for the boneless chicken roti. I would have loved some kind of coleslaw or something to go with the the wrap. Even if they put some grated carrots and cabbage in to give it a lift. I would definitely go again to support and maybe try the curry goat. Also the food is halal which is great.

This is a nice and cosy place. However, I think a takeaway would be more appropriate to eat at home comfortably than to eat in. The food is delicious and very tasty 😋! Nevertheless, there is too much traffic with people passing by, and the cars being too close to enjoy the food fully. The diversity of the food and drink is very nicely laid out with so many choices on display. However, before ordering, make sure that they have the main dish available. The staff was very friendly and nice.

I can only really rate this on the food and the service as I’ve only bought food to take away. The roti is amazing, the flavours in their curries is very authentic Guyanese food. The only thing I would suggest, is if you want something specific to call up and check if they have it before you make the journey. I do believe they have GF options but this would need to be checked. The restaurant is on a road that has permits so it driving it’s a hop in and hop out situation!

Love the food here. The owner is a lovely woman and very passionate about the service she provides. Never had beef curry before but it didn't disappoint.

Very affordable and great portion sizes. Lovely vegan and gluten free options. I drove an hour to try her food out after seeing her videos on Tiktok. I was not disappointed at all. Very pleasant and lovely lady selling authentic Guyanese food, 10/10. Full of love and flavour. Everything tasted fresh and nice. I look forward to coming back here soon. My new fav roti spot! Hands down the best! You must try for yourself. Delicious!

This shop has gone downhill massively. I used to think the food was decent but after my recent experience I won’t be coming here any longer. It’s such a shame as we don’t have many Guyanese restaurants in London. We paid £14 for one roti & curry, the meat from the curry was very dry and hardly had much taste. The roti must’ve been old as it was extremely tough and difficult to chew. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant as it is not authentic Guyanese food. The customer service skills also need working on; they are extremely slow and seem to think that because of the issue with the boxes outside and celebrity endorsements this allows them to produce less than mediocre food. Don’t waste your time & hard-earned money at this establishment, it’s not worth it.

The owner is lovely and the food is delicious! I got two of their vegan roti wraps and they were amazing, the sorrel they have is proper sorrel not the water down stuff you find in other places.

Amazing! Friendly service, amazing food. Second visit and it was an equally tasty vegan meal. Would definitely recommend, great value.

This delicious honest food, made with love. The rotis are amazing, particularly the vegetarian option.

Umana Yana is the best local take-away on quality and price. Debbie is always so warm and friendly too. A five pound box of chana curry with rice and peas (the best, moistest I have ever tasted) can with a bit of salad make two very healthy meals. The chicken, goat and other varieties are great too. Debbie's fresh chilli sauce has an amazing depth of flavour and kicks like a South American mule. You must try this place!
