  • In this next installation I showcase Mamas Jerk in Canary Wharf. Mamas Jerk is a Caribbean restaurant with three locations at the time of this recording: Canary Wharf, Brixton and Deptford. Mamas Jerk story begins from the late Mama Charlotte who was referred to as Mama in her home town of Mandeville Manchester in Jamaica. Here she developed a secret bbq rub that would be passed down as a family secret. Essentially Mamas Jerk honours here memory and keeps her original recipes alive for all to enjoy.
    On this occasion I tried the Biriyadi which is a Caribbean take on the Biriyani. This came with salad, jerk chicken and fried plantain.
    Unbiased Review by Riley Serola.

      Riley Serola three little birds, buster mantis and mango room (Camden ) Come to mind. But I’ll be honest, for me Caribbean food isn’t at its best when it’s put into a fine dining menu. Same with Indian or Italian. I think it’s at its best when rustic or home cooked style. I tend to find a reliable take away run by family that’s been there for years esp where the customers are predominately from the Caribbean, that way you know it’s authentic. Not a fan of these new age themed restaurants that cater for the British pallet

      @@kenshiro6961 I agree a lot to the comments you make. That raw home grown food is authentic and the best. Having said that, there is one fine dine Indian ive been to that I was very impressed with called quilon. There was another called moti mohal that was family run but they retired. Sad because it was my very favourite

    In the Caribbean we pronounce roti as row-tea.

I have to tell you guys that when my lovely husband came home with the take away he wasn’t willing to share this with me, I had to order my OWN take away even though I had been out all day and I was starving when I came home! Don’t believe that he ‘shared’ this food with me! Sorry Riley I had to let the Serolians know

    The few times I have eaten at mama jerks I found the chicken to be cooked well and pretty succulent. I just find their take on the jerk marinade they use to not quite do it for me. I think you summed it up pretty well, not amazing, just pretty good.

      Riley Serola yh was canary , the chicken needed sauce/gravy jerk sauce, i got order from deliveroo , they don't do jerk sauce it's only BBQ , it's as if they drained the chicken and chucked the nice juice away, but the chillie dip is banging

      realtalk see that’s where I think you went wrong. I’ve had some of my favourite places reduced to mediocre or worse. In my opinion most places are not Deliveroo friendly. I would suggest dining in there instead.
