• "I ordered jerk chicken and pork mix but only received the pork which was full of fat."
• "The curry chicken (x2) was skin and gravy ... with some bones."
• "Ordered a takeaway meal and was very disappointed. The ackee and saltfish was way too spicy."
• "Ordered from Deliveroo and the food tasted like it had just been warmed up."
• "Ordered delivery...the worst oxtail I’ve ever had. Only a small amount of meat that was dry and flavorless floating in 2inches of oil."

• "Service was ok too. For starters I ordered Fried Squid. It was a 5/10. I found it a little overcooked."

• "The staff is nice but they can be not as polite/friendly or helpful as you'd wish."
