"Decided to head to Brixton for dinner after a busy day working as I was keen to take my little brother who is visiting from Scotland for some West Indian/Caribbean food! I was devastated to discover Brixton Village wasn't open (should've been wiser and checked ahead, rookie error! But one that paid off. Zomato to the rescue to find somewhere for dinner, a mere 4 minute walk from the tube station Bamboula offered up a taste of the Caribbean perfect for a novice to the cuisine. The service was warm and friendly and the portions are massive! I definitely recommend the home made ginger beer (my brother ordered it and I had serious drink envy, plus they can spike I with a 50ml shot of rum; yes please! I often opt for fish when eating out as I rarely cook it myself at home and so decided to go for the Jerk Snapper, this was served up with corn, slaw, seasoned fries and a sweet tangy sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked and had for me just the right amount of spice. Bamboula was clearly a popular choice even on a Monday night, service was super friendly and as efficient as possible, though if you're in a hurry on a week Bamboula might not be the best for you, after all good food needs loving care and time! Overall I was really impressed and would definitely head back for another try, mainly as I need to give the Ginger Beer and Rum a go! My brother raved about his Jerk lamb and how tender the meat was! Definitely worth checking out in Brixton."
