My go-to order is half Jerk half bbq chicken, rice and peas with extra oxtail gravy, coleslaw and pepper sauce and callaloo with with a Ting

  • Buunni Coffee (Inwood)

    Run by three sisters, this family restaurant serves Caribbean classics and Cajun cuisine that you’ve got to try. I love the creativity they infuse into the menu with fun twists on Caribbean flavours and the beautiful art along the walls. If you want to catch a vibe, this is the spot to be! Check out their Sugarkane nights for fun dj sets and delicious bites! My favourites include their jerk corn, uncle ben’s saltfish fritters and the sugarkane sundae with grilled pineapple and rum spongecake!
