Only been here twice (in two weeks time) but will definitely come back more often.
Nice vibe, friendly staff, amazing cocktails (they look great and taste very good). So far I have only eaten some starters, because both times I came here unexpectedly after dinner. The starters were plantain and cassava and tasted very good. I saw some other starters and main course on the menu which I want to try soon.
There are vega / vegan options too.

It's only up to 5 stars, but 10s across the board! Had a great time, the food was amazing, cocktails were fabulous, and the community was stellar. Went on Monday, and it was Open Mic Night, which was doubly amazing. My entire purchase (appetizer, cocktail, and entree were about €40).

I had chicken wrap, very tasty, the rest of my friends were also happy with their order, I tried circled chicken stew from my friend and it was melting in my mouth, I'm totally taking this next time! But the cocktails though, now that's just fantastic! The atmosphere of the bar was also very special, it was a great experience, surely to repeat.

I visited here on a Friday evening. As soon as you walk in you’re hit with amazing smells! There is a great selection of cocktails which tasted fresh, you can see a gentleman crafting the cocktails behind the bar.
Food is delicious and authentic and portions are plentiful.
I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a taste of the Caribbean!
