I live in Brighton but I'm coming back!I needed a snack rather than a meal. Had 1/4 fried chicken, Mac and Cheese and a mango punch.Huge piece of chicken with lovely crunchy coating and a side of gravy. You could taste the cheese in the Mac and Cheese unlike many places.Bliss.

OH MY GOD!! This is the BEST restaurant in Eastbourne hands down. First of all, the chicken wings were juicy and crispy - one of the best wings I’ve ever had. The curry’s and all the sides were delicious. And the staff were super friendly and kind.The oxtail and goat curry was tender and full of flavour. Will come again for sure. You MUST come and try!!

The meal I selected was 100%! Curried goat with rice, plantine coleslaw and salad. Honestly the best Caribbean food I've eaten in ages, and that's speaking as a Caribbean women. Keep it up guys... definitely gonna visit again, once back in the area. I can confirm you made my trip to Eastbourne memorable

Beautiful restaurant so happy we got to go . Definitely be one of our spots when we are back down this side please check it out.I had the jerk lamb with sweet potato fries. Mr decided to have oxtail with rice and peas with quarter fried chicken. We did have starters which were spicy chicken wings and temper Prawns. Excellent starters. Jerk sauce fabulous
