Jerkmaica review: A Caribbean street feast in funky laid back ...

Review analysis
food   value  

Emma Youle visits Jerkmaica for generous and succulent chicken and tender goat curry Set your taste buds ablaze with the spicy heat of Caribbean cooking served up in hipster surroundings at Jerkmaica.

This fun and funky restaurant in Crouch End is founded on a simple idea: Caribbean street food as a hearty alternative to weekend takeaways or a sandwich lunch.

At the centre of menu is a small but well thought-out list of famous staples - rotis, jerk chicken and pork, goat curry, plantain, rice and peas - and it’s priced so you can order a couple of main dishes and sides.

The rice and peas laced with subtle parsley and the fennel in the side salad sets off the jerk spices deliciously.

Jerkmaica serves two cocktails for £10 before 8pm, great value for Crouch End, and the rum punch was a cool refreshing accompaniment to the jerk sauce, while the red cabernet sauvignon was robust enough to handle the spice.

Make Eat Repeat: VEGAN CARIBBEAN ROTI AT JERKMAICA

Review analysis

Well growing up in West London where there is a sizeable Caribbean community I have sampled lots of jerk chicken but roti is a dish which people really take pride in cooking, serving and critiquing .

Although the name suggests that it's a specialist of Jamaica’s most famous food, jerk chicken, Jerkmaica actually pays homage to Gary’s ‘happy dish’ – the roti.

In the Caribbean the Roti is a popular dish which is mostly eaten by hand as the Roti is stuffed with a delicious traditional filling such as a spiced meat and / or vegetable curry.

I enjoyed my time at Jerkmaica, it is a gem hidden in North London and this West Londoner will definitely make the time to visit this warm and vegan friendly restaurant in the near future.

Everyone needs to try the delicious food available at Jerkmaica and if you live in North London don’t forget that you also can order Jerkmaica’s delicious food.

Restaurant Review: Jerkmaica, Finsbury Park

Review analysis
food   desserts  

Although I’m a particular fan of the cuisine – no stranger to jerk chicken and plantain chips are one of my favourite snacks – I am by no means a connoisseur of Caribbean food.

Originally opened in 2004 as a sit-in restaurant by self-proclaimed ‘lifelong foodie’ and second generation West Indian, Gary Bailey, Jerkmaica’s original Crouch End site and two additional locations (launched only recently) have been reimagined as ‘fast food outlets’.

Gary’s mission is not only to bring the Jamaican flavours of his childhood to London’s food scene, but to position the food of his heritage as a viable quick lunch or dinner option.

Despite its name, Jerkmaica focuses primarily on roti: a hearty flatbread traditionally served with combinations of goat, chickpea chana, slow cooked pork shoulder, jerk chicken (obviously) and more.

Gary, who is proudly manning the kitchen and its real fire grill when we enter, even recently launched London’s first chocolate roti.
