"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."

"Don't be fooled by the outside appearance. It's an old inn. This restaurant was recommended by Ladyvale Barn cottage rental and it exceeded our expectations. We have had the pleasure this evening of having sampled some of the finest cuisine using the best of local produce you could get. We hadn't made a reservation but would recommend you do, we visited slightly outside the main tourist time so we're very lucky to get in at the beginning of service. From the welcome at the bar, to the explanation of the menu we were impressed. My wife is a seafood and I'm red meat so apologies to vegans etc. Will, our host looked after us so well, friendly but not intrusive chat kept the experience special for us. We've never tasted such amazing mussels as a starter, locally sourced of course. How do Cornish restaurants do such amazing chips, I'll just leave that there."

"We have always enjoyed the food here. And the decor has always been welcoming. However, we were disappointed at our latest visit. It seems dark and uninviting, more a place for drinkers that to sit and have a pleasant meal. The fact that there are fewer tables, and more standing room says it most. We were met by the overpowering smell of last night's beer, and a distinct lack of service. We Sat and waited, while a young lady wandered by a couple of times, then disappeared. I went to the bar, and stood, while the lone barman sauntered past and outside to collect glasses I knew this by the fact that he returned with several, some couple of minutes later). I ordered our food and drink and waited...and waited. It was not worth the wait. I will be giving here a miss for a while. Probably a great place for a drink, but they obviously feel no need to temp people in for food."

"We use your takeaway delivery service about twice a year, normally our experience is 5 star all the way, however last night we found the food below the normal standard, the Chicken tasted old and re-heated, and the Korma sauce/Gravy was watery and lacking taste, rice however was good, and delivery driver friendly, I hope this is just a one off bad night, food was always delightful from here, makes me wonder if the restaurant has new owners? Service: Take out"

"tasty eating especially the rice with beans and it seemed like a fairly healthy alternative to most vegan junk food options in inverness. Unfortunately, vegan options are not marked, so we looked at the vegetarian menu, guess what could be vegan then checked with the waitress when she arrived. the portions were generous and eating was good not too oily, as Jamaican may sometimes be. I saw some other people saying that they had to wait a long time, we went around 17 o'clock and waited a normal time."

"What a fabulous little gem this place is! Hidden in the deepest, darkest backstreets of Digbeth (well, that might be an exaggeration but it is away from the main drag , this little Tapas joint only came to my attention via Twitter. After hearing some of the Birmingham Twitterati talk about a hot new venue, I knew we had to be one of the first people to go and try it! Firstly, let's talk booking. I had messed up with the night I had originally planned to take the guys and had put the event down as a Tuesday night (when they aren't open . Erica G. had handily spotted my mistake and spurred me into action booking the venue. I messaged them via their Facebook page and got a response almost instantaneously. Although they weren't open the night I had specified, they offered to open up as a private party for us (which is available to anyone , but I figured the minimum spend of £200 might be a tad unachievable for the amount of people that wanted to come along. After a new date was decided, I got in contact and booked for 10 people. Over the next week or so, that quickly became 12 people, which became 14... On the day itself I had to change the booking for 19 people; but they were fantastic and accommodating throughout the whole process and insisted that I wasn't being a pain (which I was! . The table was booked for 7:30, but I decided it would be prudent to get down a little earlier to ensure everyone knew we were there. We were greeted warmly and shown to our large table put together to fit the majority of our group. The venue is BYOB and we were given glasses and our bottles were opened whilst we waited for everyone to arrive. The venue isn't the Ritz. It has a lovely warm charm (like sitting in someones kitchen and the mismatched furniture, pictures on the walls and large hand drawn chalkboard really make you feel at home. The service matches the decor... Friendly, helpful and chirpy throughout; I did feel like I'd been invited around for dinner at a friends house. When we were all ready to order, our choices were very prudently noted down next to our names and the whole process was done quickly and efficiently. Their are other options on offer, but with the Tapas being 3 dishes for £10, it's a great way to try lots of things off the menu without breaking the bank. I went for quail, gambas and meatballs and waited excitedly for the food to be bought out! The menu offers lots of meat and vegetarian choice. As we had a vegetarian dining with us, this was greatly appreciated. Whilst we were waiting we were treated to some warm bread from the kitchen... This was a lovely touch and went down a storm. Everyone's food came out fairly swiftly (no mean feat when catering for such a large group . All of my choices ended up being divine. The Quail was a WHOLE QUAIL and all of the dishes were served in delicious sauces with just the right amount of spice. I couldn't fit a dessert in at the end... I was just too stuffed. So, as a summary... The booking; easy as pie. The service; warm and friendly. The venue; welcoming and homely and the food.... Simply divine. My bill came to £10 (as described and I would expect a meal like that would cost you at least double (if not triple elsewhere. The restaurant is planning to open on more evenings and get a license to serve drinks. My advice is to book and try it now before it becomes impossible to get a table."

"Went for a take away last night here, I was greeted by a man with a baseball cap and in normal clothes? Considering this is a restaurant he didn't look very professional and neither was his attitude!! I found him extremely rude and not welcoming what so ever. The main reason why I visited here was I fancied something a little different only to find the curry I had was extremely bland with taste very little flavour I was bitterly disappointed. So not only was the welcome poor so was the food safe to say I won't be returning here. This is my opinion it maybe for some but definitely not for me."

"Went to island takeaway for my first time, there isn’t a lot of Caribbean shops in Brighton so I had high hopes. The store gave off authentic Jamaican vibes, however that was the only thing authentic about this shop. I originally tried to order a oxtail and was told they didn’t have any (no real surprise tbh). Then I asked what do you have and was told “you tell me what you want and I’ll let you know” which was just not helpful as they didn’t have what I wanted. The only ended up having 5/9 mains available. I got the large curry goat and rice peas for £15 which isn’t a horrendous price if the large was actually large but it wasn’t. When I tried to foot the rice was over cooked with the peas being cooked to the point they were dry and the rice was very hard. The curry goat was pink which definitely threw me off. Plus the meat was cleaned properly as there was a lot of gore and guts in the bones which completely ruined it. However, the flavour of the food was good but I would certainly of skipped out on this meal if I had the choice."

"Quite a friendly welcome, pleasant garden overlooking the Atlantic, pretty flowers and shrubs. A pub dog called Pablo (I think) who wanders around quite happily! But the top, top thing here is the food. We came in for a drink and ended up eating lunch in the garden: excellent game pie, really good filling, a mound of chips and vegetables. Kashmiri lamb curry with a lot of rice, a couple of pieces of naan And a selection of three sauces. Absolutely stuffed, we need to go and have a lie down! This is not the first time we’ve eaten here, we will definitely come again"

"A little hide away that has a lovely outside are,paved over with plenty of seating and a play area for kids. There is also a coveted outside area with 4 or 5 tables. There is a decent sized free car park. The pub itself is an old style building with low ceilings giving it a cosy feel. They offer food which is pretty standard pub fayre but what I saw come out looked good and portion sizes were good too. Outside is dog friendly which is great as the pub is situated on the North Downs Way so there are dog walkers as well as cyclists too. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays"

"We ate here for the first time and will definitely return. Lots of dishes to choose from. This is not your run if the mill curry house. It has many dishes that you don't often see, as it has a proud Nepalese heritage. The food was absolutely amazing, lovely spices, great taste. The staff are very attentive. I didn't know a lot of the dishes on the menu, but the staff took time to explain. A great variety of beers and wine, too. The venue is well spaced out, light and airy with fantastic Himalayan pictures, etc. It is a stand-alone building off the A22 and has plenty of parking. Everything is on one level for the restaurant, so it should be great for people of all physical abilities. Highly recommended."

"Had a special family celebration for our mothers 90th birthday today at the pilgrim hotel . Outstanding views of the Herefordshire countryside . While the staff seemed to try their best , we couldn’t locate the staff when we needed something . Our food arrived not enough sandwiches for our party of 12 with small appetites . And we had to ask for tea coffee which arrived after the food . The quality and standard of the selection of cakes were poor . And the room was lacking in atmosphere for a special ladies birthday . We felt quite disappointed for her and the family that had traveled from afar . Doesn’t take much to create an atmosphere and good quality food . We asked for extra sandwiches which was met with confusion from the staff member as to why we would need them . It is sad as we felt dissaponted that we should have had to write this review ."

"This pub is known for its great drinks but also serves delicious Caribbean-inspired cuisine. In addition to their regular service, they also host events when the pub/restaurant is closed and have a spacious camping area at the back. There is a lovely garden and decking area for sunny days. The landlady who served us was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We highly recommend the Jerk chicken, ribs, vegetable curry, and goat curry. The desserts were also delicious with generous portions. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening!"

"Me and my wife visited for the first time on a Friday night for dinner, service was excellent very attentive and prompt and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Food was exceptional, I had the scallop starter which was superb, coconut sauce was great, nice bit of warming spice but not too hot. I had the rogan josh for main and my wife had the Kolapuri Murgh, both of which where exceptional. Lamb in the rogan josh was v tender and Kolapuri murgh was delicious. Naans also great, not stodgy, thin and a nice char on them. We would definitely recommend I've spent a year in India and the food here was as good as the best food on my travels. Definitely better quality than your standard Indian restaurant by a long shot, we will definitely be coming back!"

"was my first time here (after so many people recommended! and must say that the place is not disappointed! good varied menu and the quality of eating were very good. we had both veg and non veg and without any doubt this restaurant really stands in a very competitive area of london. the venue is small in comparison to some other Indian sites in the opposite, but this did not make any difference when something more added to the overall experience. the service we received from beginning to end was perfect even if we have a smaller output with the flavors of one of the dishes, this was put right immediately and without steaming! the chef himself makes a point to talk to the diners about their food, this shows only the confidence he has in the quality of his food. would definitely recommend chilli lovers! great tasting and for their top-end service levels!"

We are from Colchester so not from the area and so glad we made the journey, its such a shame there is not this type of place in our area. If you want a change from your typical Indian restaurant then this is the place we will definitely be returning once again Brohmom thanks for a great evening"

"a traditional looking stone built pub surrounded by several other decent hostels, this is a good size inside somewhat considerable from the front, including a winter garden on the back. the menu consisted of Indian street eating, and my dilli murg lucknowi made of jagged lamb curry with chicken pieces and with a boiled egg was a decent and tasty dish and I had it braided with basmati rice and a naan. the menu was a little unusual that all chicken options seemed to be on the bone instead of on the chest. the one I chose did not explicitly mention that so I hoped it wasn't on the bone, but it was. also quite unusual was the whole dilli pani puri to begin, the teig balls were filled with kartoffels and kicherbsen, on which they were poured in a mixture of tamarinden sauce and aromatic water and then ate completely. we also had some samosas to start, and these came with a very delicious curry sauce. all in all, a nice pub and decent eating."

"Without a doubt, this is the best pizza restaurant in the UK. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly; they really go the extra mile to make sure you have a great time! The pizza is perfect, and you won’t have to wait long for your food. The prices are very reasonable as well. The atmosphere of this restaurant is exceptional! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re really missing out... it's a solid 10/10 in my opinion, and so much better than Domino's! Plus, you can watch your pizza being made in the oven! As for parking, there’s plenty available just around the corner, only a minute's walk away."
