Harden's says
First bricks-and-mortar spot for this family-owned Caribbean vegan outfit that was born in 2020 during the pandemic; the Islington restaurant and cocktail bar is the flagship of their new venture.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Super-creative and super-tasty Caribbean food is served in a cool and buzzy setting” at siblings Jordan & Chyna Johnson’s neighbourhood restaurant and cocktail bar north of Islington’s Chapel Market. The surprise is that it’s vegan! with intriguing plant-based substitutes in dishes such as ‘saltfish’ sushi; Bajan fried ‘fish’ tacos; and ‘Oxtail’ chow mein.
Summary
“Deserving all the plaudits and great value too” – siblings Jordan & Chyna Johnson graduated from residencies and pop-ups to this bricks-and-mortar perma-home in 2022: a hard-to-define, good-times restaurant and cocktail bar in Islington, with a “super soundtrack and slightly bonkers decor”. What makes it particularly of interest is the “quirky-in-a-good-way” Caribbean cuisine that’s not only hearty for meat-free cooking – and with “an unexpected range of flavours” – but also absolutely bangin’. Add in “lovely staff” and it’s “a real find”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
