[[bob]] and [[martin]] had the Goat curry (£12.70) which was served in a filo pastry tube. It was certainly tasty although perhaps lacking the kick it normally has. It was also notable for being boneless, without losing any flavour. [[Northern Steve]] and Claire had the Jerk Chicken(£12.75) which was spicy. [[elvum]] had the Braised Oxtail (£12.90). Sides were about £3 and were fine. Fried dumplings were particularly good. They had run out of Spicy rice though. |

Lime cheesecake (£4.90) was quite good. A lot of lime. The chocolate terrine was less impressive though - not much chocolate flavour. |

The house red is a rather bland and inoffensive temperanillo at £13.50 a bottle. We ordered a Cotes du Rhone which they had run out of so they offered us a better Cotes du Rhone for the same price(£16.50). We were given a jug of tap water at the second time of asking. We suspect one of the staff may have been new and merely forgot. |

They had also run out of the imported Guinness, and about half of the selection of rums included on the menu. (The other 2 beers available being Budweiser and a lime flavoured lager (The brand of which I forget) which would have been good in the sun during the summer, but not for a meal midwinter.) |

Overall, [[elvum]] thought that the food was good quality but not exemplary Caribbean cooking, well-presented, but probably slightly over-priced. |

Caribbean restaurant in Croydon.
bob, elvum, Martin, Claire and Northern Steve visited on a Thursday evening. We had booked a table but this probably wasn't necessary. The restaurant can seat about 40. There is a disabled toilet. The kitchen is open.
The menu is small but cover all the interesting Caribbean food stuffs. All of the dishes are presented very well which since the restaurant describes itself as Caribbean nouvelle cuisine is to be expected. We started with 2 starter platters(£14.70) and Creole Duck Empanadas(£5.70). The empanadas were pretty good and the platter were okay. The prawns were large and succulent.
