"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."

I greatly enjoyed the fried snapper, as well as the cured goat and fried chicken dishes. All the food was fantastic, and the relaxed atmosphere with reggae tunes added to the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My group of four from the USA thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried at this restaurant. I highly recommend the wings and cod fritters as appetizers. The brown stew chicken, curry chicken, and oxtail stew were all delicious! View menu

Bamboula is a simple, relaxed little Caribbean place with a good atmosphere and mixed crowd, great reggae beats and soulful food . El G, The Man From Snowy River and I went along on Friday but was very sad to hear that they'd run out of Jerk Chicken by 9.

great first impression. I had a great time for my first visit at the bamboula caribbean restaurant. I had a curry. the food was great (I was a bit disappointed about the amount of rice). the music set the mood and the waitress/waxsin was very friendly. Whenever I am in london, I will visit the bamboula caribbean restaurant.

don't go there. we went to bamboula on Friday night to eat a meal. halfway through our meal the dame came to our table to ask us to hurry because they have another booking. we had not even begun our meal times. that really upset us and after that I didn't eat another mouth full. I went straight from my lunch, I won't be back. View menu

Mediocre service. I must say that the starters at Bamboula were very good (particularly the plantain ring). The main meal on the other hand was mediocre as was the service. Unfortunately, I do not think I will go again. The restaurant closes at 11 and at around 10 to 11 they were already cleaning up and assembling the tables, none of the people in my party felt comfortable, they were basically kicking us out. In fact, at around 11:02 the manager came to tell us that they were closed (she effectively shouted this at us). In addition, the restaurant was understaffed with only one waitress who had clearly had a bad day, not only was she rude, she also served us the mains with no cutlery and...r...
