Half jerk chicken, proper festival, and a mac and cheese that people come back for specifically.
JFB Jerk Grill is a Caribbean restaurant on the Lower Clapton end of things, and it's become a regular stop for people who know their jerk from their just-okay. The chicken is done properly — smoky, seasoned through, not just surface-level. It's a small place run by people who care what lands on your plate.
Really good spot for Jamaican food. The aesthetics of the shop is really nice, I especially like the outline of Jamaica with different writing inside of it using the Jamaican colours.
Honestly I don’t really go to small or family restaurants but this place might have made me rethink. Service was amazing, prices were ok but the food was AMAZING. Best mac and cheese ever.
Been a few times now. Usually just get the dumpling with chicken and plantain which always bangs (also in my opinion has to be a contender for best value lunch in london). Branched out and tried a few other things last time and everything was delicious.
We really enjoyed your cooking. Really good food. I have never in my life had jerk chicken pasta and it was banging.The crunchy red peppers! And pasta not overcook. Festival crunchy outside and fluffy inside. Jerk chicken on point.
The food, the room, the people. This is what a good night here looks like.
