"1* (well, if I could but I have to give 2* because I was told by my server that the service charge is not fully shared amongst the staff like literally every other vegan restaurant I've ever been to in London, but is retained by the restaurant instead. You can and should ask for the legally always optional service charge to be removed and then tip your server on the card machine or in cash instead. We were given the above information by our server when I asked what happened to the service charge before we paid the bill. Our server was tremendously grateful when we offered to replace the service charge with a tip. The business has since disputed what we were both told at the time in a very aggressive reply that you can see below this review, denying what we were both told by the business at the time, and that none of the service charge is retained. I strongly encourage you to read the wording of this reply below. As for the rest of the it: Like others have said, upon arrival at our booking time we had to wait at the bar to be seated. Our drinks arrived half an hour after ordering, after our starters. Food: the bajan codfish tacos were a big win for us both. The bacon mac and cheese was spot on. The saltfish sushi was nice, though I didn't get any fishiness. The curry goat was in a tasty sauce, though the fake meat was a bit weird and the fried plantain was just two small slices. We had planned to share the curry goat, and we had asked for it to be served with the chillis on the side as my friend couldn't take much spice on the day instead, it was served with extra chillis mixed in, making it inedible to my friend. We mentioned this to our server but nothing was done to rectify it. The grilled roti was oily and disappointing. The banana cake with all the trimmings was overall enjoyable although the cake itself was a little too dense like vegan cakes from a decade ago, and my omni friend wasn't a fan of the ice cream though I enjoyed it. But the whole thing was a huge let down when I asked what happened to the service charge. And the multiple personal attacks on me since, accusing me of defamation when I had merely stated in my review what the representative of the business had told us both at the time, are frankly unnecessary and distasteful. The business had my contact details from the reservation, they could instead have calmly contacted me to discuss my grievance, and corrected the information they had previously supplied.

Super food. I had the 'fish ', scotch bonnet and rice. The texture and flavour of each was unique but worked well together.

As a vegan with Caribbean heritage, I found the food delicious and authentic (nice flavours) with the exception of Mac and cheese which appeared be void of any rue.

Amazing food! I can't wait to go back. The jerk skewers were the perfect level of spicy, the sauces and pomegranate countered the spiciness very well. The roti was flaky and flavorful

Great menu of Caribbean food. I had the Caribbean 'chicken ' which came with garlic mash, beans and the most delicious cabbage I have ever had by miles. Fantastic cocktails too. Lovely atmosphere and staff.

Loved the atmosphere, staff and most of all food. As a life long veggie vegan later I'd never had goat curry or salted cod so was a good experience as well as very tasty! My Jamacian omni friend said it was very similar and lush. I'd def go again, but order less or go hungrier as was a lot of food.

One of the best vegan restaurants I ever visited. Went there with a non vegan friend who loved the food as well. We tried several of the small plates and sides plus two of the big plates, none of them was disappointing, each of them was a culinary delight. Everything was perfect, food, atmosphere, waiter. Will definitely come back next time I’m in London

Jam Delish is a standout, fully vegan, Caribbean restaurant that impresses on multiple fronts. The wine selection is exceptional, featuring some of the best reds I've ever tasted. Their fried chicken with mash and gravy is an absolute delight, offering a rich, satisfying taste that truly stands out. The saltfish is bursting with flavour, showcasing their mastery of Caribbean cuisine. The ambience is perfect for a romantic date or a luxurious lunch with friends, making it an ideal spot for any occasion. Highly recommended for both the quality of the food and the overall dining experience.

I first visited when they were a pop-up in a pub in Soho a few years ago, so now they have their own premises I wanted to go back and see if the food was as good as I remembered. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time and couldn’t try more of the menu, because there’s so much on there that looks really appealing. Will definitely have to go back to try more dishes in the future. The dishes I did try were very well presented and full of flavour. The only negative is that when I was seated I was told that they needed the table back after an hour and 45 mins. I wasn’t planning on staying so long anyway and I really don’t like the way it has crept into being the norm to give diners a dead...
