Great Jamaican food. For the most authentic Jamaican jerk go to Jeff the Chef (also has some vegetarian options). Please note he’s more of a food truck-type operation. But his jerk is the best.

If you want a sit down Jamaican dinner for a larger group, you can go to ‘Turtle Bay’, also nearby in Brixton. It may be a ‘likkle bit’ (Jamaican for ‘little bit’) of a chain restaurant vibe but the food is still tasty.
