White Hart Lane Jerk Centre London

Incredibly disappointing. Ordered from here as was excited to have Jamaican food after being away from London so long but my normal place closed. Dry as hell tasteless jerk chicken, brown chicken also bears no resemblance to the tasty dish it should be, both completely missing the fruity explosion of flavours I was excited to have. And the plantain a few sad slices in a bag. Wish I’d ordered the reviews by date as it seems like all the good ones are from a long time ago. I’m sick and I wanted to be made to feel better but it’s just made me more sad. AVOID

Firstly I’d like to start by saying that the staff are lovely. But when it comes down to the food, I was extremely disappointed. The small portion of plantain that you get for £2 was thin and rock hard. It definitely wasn’t ripe and didn’t have the sweet taste that it should have. The Mac & cheese didn’t have an ounce of seasoning and was just stiff. I’m genuinely quite shocked that this is being sold at a Jamaican.restaurant. In terms of the jerk chicken and rice, the chicken was ok couldn’t definitely do with more gravy/sauce. The rice tasted like it was from the bottom of the pot and was stuck together. This is not my usual experience with them but hoping they can take this review on board and make some much needed improvements.

Not impressed with their food and service. They never put enough gravy on the food. The large jerk pork meal looked like it was from the day before, as the pork was so dry and when you ask for jerk pork or chicken, you expect it to come with jerk sauce. Well I got a tomato sauce, no jerk sauce. This has happened before where I had to call call them after recieving my order and I asked them where was the gravy for my rice and peas, also the jerk sauce. If you have not specifically been given instructions to not add it, then the above should of been a standard thing to do. The tiny box of green salad had 1 piece of cucumber in it and a couple pieces of red pepper. Honestly it was not a good look. The hard food was 2 boiled dumplings and 1 green banana lol 😆 the plantain was like rubber and over done. I am seriously disappointed this time round and will not be ordering from them again. They didnt even throw any coleslaw in. I think you can see my frustration with this order. 2 x jerk meals / rice (without gravy) Portion of fried chicken Portion hard food 5 pieces of rubber Plaintin. Small paper container of iceberg lettuce. Does not warrant £58 Sorry but they lost a customer for good, it was such a disappointment.

Have been here a few times. Food here is tasty and piping hot. Usually go for the Jerk chicken. Very reasonable for lunch menu. Service is broadly good, sometimes more interaction, sometimes less. Sometimes there is a wait but if there's people ahead of me or online orders that's to be expected and people are too often inpatient. Atmosphere I've not rated as I always take away and there's few people eating here when I pop in for lunch.

Proud supporter of my local jerk house. Food tastes fresh, smokey, juicy, flavoursome, delightfully spicy. Been coming here for a long time and dont intend to stop! Loves: Jerk chicken, jerk pork, fish, veggies, salad, rice and peas, apple crumble, rum cake, carrot cake, punches Mehs (its good just not my jam): Coconut cake, red bean soup These lamb ribs always sell out too fast!

2 stars for the jerk chicken That chicken was dry like it’s been sitting in a tray for 3 days and they just reheated it with some jerk seasoning to fake freshness. Nice try, but one bite told the truth. Yes, jerk is meant to be charred, but this was straight burnt and bony. Hot & spicy sauce? 10/10 Plantain portion? Solid Chicken prep? Needs serious work. The flavour’s there, but the execution flopped.

Stopped off here after a gig at the stadium as queue to station was massive. I. Did. Not. Regret. It. Best Jerk Chicken I've EVER eaten (including in Jamaica) and the Rum Punch helped it down a treat!

I came to London for Jamaican food, cause in Amsterdam I just can't find anything acceptable and was not disappointed! Chicken and the sauces are very nice. They didn't have all my favourite things so I'll guess I'll have to come back again one of these days 😁

We ordered takeaway from here while staying nearby on holiday. All of our items were top notch, especially the goat curry with rice and peas that I greatly enjoyed. Definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area for some authentic Jamaican cooking.

Been a few years since I've made it to this place so keep that in mind.. I've been to this place a handful of times over the last 7 or so years and every time left with a memory. Not only is the food here outstanding, with huge portions and huge flavour, but the owner is friendly and always has a good story. Regulars (which I am not one of) stop in and have a chat. A few times I've eaten here alone and had a great conversation with a group of strangers over a plate of rice and beans and jerk chicken. I can't recommend it enough, and I make WHL Jerk Centre a priority on any trip to North London.

The decor in this place is not that good. The menu on the wall is all dodgy too, not like some slick chain restaurant like Nandos or Chiqutos. One thing this little place does have that is better than those places is the food....which is the most important thing in a restaurant. Jerk chicken and either rice and beans or chips for only a fiver. It took ages to eat as there is loads and the taste of barbeque is in your mouth for ages. Curried goat here is proper West Indian style too, not some fake out of packet stuff cooked by people who are reading instructions off a wall or shoving stuff in microwaves. Well worth traveling to North London to visit this place. Defiantly recommended
