"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
"A Guyanese takeaway that reads as a cultural crossroads: shelves with homemade patties and bottles of mauby give way to roti meals presented like unwrapped gifts. Fillings include goat curry, chicken with aubergine, and tiny curried prawns, all scoopable with thin roti skins that are translucent with oil. The write-up highlights the cuisine’s layered origins (Indian roti, Dutch-imported rice, Chinese noodles), a lively local debate about Trini vs Guyanese roti freshness, and plans to add Guyanese chow mein-style dishes marrying thyme with scotch bonnet chilli." - Shekha Vyas
