Lovely little place, i was a little aprehensive at first as this is beyond my typical simplistic tastes but the food was delicious (I had jerked pork with rice) and not overly spicy. They have good vegan options too, my sister is vegan and had no trouble finding food and said it was lovely! Our server was very friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience much better and the prices are very reasonable. I would recommend you give this place a try if you're looking for something different. They also offer take-away if you want to eat at home!

Booked a table for a Friday night as it was close to our apartment. Wasn't necessary as fairly quiet all night. Shared corn fritters with cumin and lime yoghurt to start. They were OK but the lime and cumin didn't come through. I had ordered a tamarind chicken dish off the specials board but was later told it had sold out. Had to ask to see the menu again. Both enjoyed our main courses : jerk pork with rice and peas and curried goat with pumpkin rice. With a bottle of wine the bill came to just over £50. Would return to try other dishes.

Went here today and ordered the goat curry with pumpkin rice. Very delicious food, the curry was spiced wonderfully and the meat was very tender. The rice was perfectly cooked and flavourful. The staff were also very nice and the service was very quick - I am used to waiting 25-50 minutes for restaurant food yet it was ready in under 15. Overall I am very impressed and I would say this is one of the best restaurants in the area.

Visited on a Saturday evening, but booked that day as walked past a few times and always people in. Nicely decorated vibrant place, friendly staff and excellent food. We sat in the rear of the restaurant, would of preferred the front but was full so understandable. We had the curried goat, with rice and peas and the jerk chicken with sweet potato fries. Both were really tasty and good size portions. Good range of drinks available at reasonable prices. We had cider and lager, but wine is also available. Would definitely visit again as there's lots more we want to try from the menu. Would recommend a visit.

I had high hopes when I found this restaurant in Aberystwyth. But, sadly I found it average. I did not feel very welcome when I arrived and the service was not encouraging. The food was not especially good. I had goat curry which was okay but nothing special. I was then told there was no rice and peas ….in a CARIBBEAN restaurant / so I had plain boiled rice. At £28 ( including a beer) I expected better.

Popped in for Lunch; had my 1st experience of Caribbean food. Lovely Plant based and meat based options so ordered both opions. Fantastic, welcoming, helpful, friendly informal service from Charlie. Had to say thank you to the chef. Food so good I ordered a goat curry to takeaway which did not disappoint. Great lunch experience, perfect mood music in an artistic setting. Definitely recommend pushing your comfort zone. This is a charming family feel restaurant.

Had a brilliant meal here during our holiday. The staff work so flippin hard as it got very busy so they are a credit to you :-) I had THE best goat curry of my life and I've had it many times. This was spot on heat wise too. My husband had the chips which are homemade and we were fighting over ha! My only little comment would be on the beer/cider options. I 100% expect to see Jamaican lager/stout etc but maybe something local would be nice too. Club Tropicana by Tiny Rebel would go very well will the spicy food. On the cider front it really does make me a bit sad ordering a Magners so would recommend stuff from Gwynt y Ddraig, Black Dragon is a fav in the area :-) Really brilliant little place so very glad you are doing so well.
