The restaurant has an amazing decoration and vibe. I spent hours chatting with a friend there. The food is very good. Very well located just few minutes away from Camden Tube station. I will very probably come back!
The staff and service was really good. Unfortunately the food was a bit disappointing. The jerk chicken and ribs were both a bit dry and were covered in a BBQ sauce.
The food took a while to get to us but when it did it was nice and autehtnic. The portions aren’t too but their lunch menu is great value. Would recommend to someone who is looking to try Jamaican food for the first time. Great location too.
Ma Petite Jamaica is London’s newest Caribbean diner – a Jerk Pit and Reggae Bar. Just a couple of minutes from Camden Town tube, Inverness Street is a thus little-known part of the infamous Camden now peppered with several new restaurants, catering for tourists and Londoners alike.I was invited along for a review for Love Food Love Drink * on a quiet yet blustery Tuesday evening. We were seated in the centre in what felt like a spotlight, other quieter cosier tables scattered around under bamboo canopies, with colourful art and furniture brightening up a dull November.The staff were lovely, young and friendly, and we could see the chefs at work in the kitchen at the back of the restaurant.Nothing like starting with a cocktail to warm the, err, cockles. Many rum-based favourites like Cuba Libre and the might Mojito, but we opted for a Spanish Town Rumgria – basically, yes, a sangria made with 7 year old Havana rum, but MUCH more potent! – and a Bird of Paradise, a fruity colourful number, also extremely potent. Totally tropical, mon.To start, we greedily ordered three plates between two of us: Pumpkin and chickpea curry with stuffed roti – creamy and full of warmth; Jerk chicken skewers, served with a peanut sauce – this was a huge portion, lacking in spice I found, until about halfway through, when the chilli hit me (maybe I was numb from the rum!); Salt fish fritters with a mango chutney – crispy and a little dry, but full of flavour. You can choose from a range of small plates and larger platters to share, tapas stylee, to get a flavour for all the traditional Jamaican dishes – patties, ackee dumplings and barbecued ribs.Not quite stuffed enough, and continuing on the warming theme, we then opted for curried goat – of course! Served with rice and peas (obviously) and crispy fried plantain, this dish was the highlight of the evening. Tender (it had been slow cooked over 24 hours), rich, and just the right amount of spice. The only downside was the bones, but that was indicative of the length of cooking. Also, the red snapper, a meaty white fish, served with a barbecue jerk sauce – sumptuous.As the evening wore on, the reggae played and the wine magically disappeared, we felt chilled, and warmed at the same time. A great little find in Camden town, for great food, tropical tastes and a totally relaxed vibe. Them belly full. anniethingforfood.co.uk
