The food quality/taste/portion size was absolutely awesome. Will certainly go there again and enjoy some of their other dishes.
The chef in that kitchen puts a lot of line in making the food taste incredible!

If i can’t be bothered to cook then i will order red peas soup my favourite Jamaican dish. Today i ordered the soup and was surprise to see bones and no meat. It is slowly letting me down.

More like Brown Pigeon. Just witnessed terrible customer service being given, again. Customer being shouted at and embarrassed publicly for having an issue with the food. Terrible Curry Goat again. That being said the Oxtail and Stewed Chicken are delicious. Quality of some items isnt what it was. Prices are silly. £2 extra if i just want breast in my food. This is terrible top down leadership and policies. Staff aren't allowed to give a refund. I hear them say things like if they do it will come out of their wages. I don't think the owners understand basic hospitality practices like comping so don't pass it on to the staff. It sad because I would like them to suceed but its becoming silly.

The food is good but the attitude of the staff is nasty and they have this rules you cannot eat in the shop unless you’re ordering a large never heard of that yet And every time you walk into the shop you could see people leave their plates on the table and no one picks it up right away

Brown eagles used to be nice but they've gone downhills big time it's not authentic I think even an English person can cook better than them there is not one ounce of flavour in nor the meat or gravy..
Afew things are very questionable to me like 1 do they wash their meats as in my chicken I had loads of thick hairs still on them I wanted to puke just the thought of it..
2nd question when do they cook their food and how do they store it as my chicken tasted as if it was legit 5 days old and stiff as hell even my scissors was even struggling to cut through it. I refused to give my kids these to eat so ended up just cooking them dinner which I didn't plan to hence the takeaway but no way the chicken was all pink i wouldn't even feed their meat to my dogs if I had any.
Lords knows what underground their meat are being sourced from. I ordered a large meal with hard food and it didn't come with any hard food, called up to be told they don't do hard food on sundays and will be refunded but why an earth isit on the menu to begin with so I ended up paying delivery and service for incomplete meal :/ this is why I rarely order from Carribean even tho I love it cz I dunno who they got cooking up in that kitchen but the food is TERRIBLE stick to home made Carribean it's more authentic and atleast u know ur chicken is washed..
Honestly the only thing going for them was their Rice & Peas that was it hence the 1*
This Is WOOD GREEN branch by the way and I also experienced the same couple years ago in TOTTENHAM branch in terms of their meat being stiff as if it's been cooked days prior I avoided it for all
These years wish I continued to as thru ever clearly not improved.. trust me if u get fresh food cooked from there u are lucky maybe they cook on every sundays fresh for Monday and the rest of the week reheated or they freeze and reheat lord knows but that needs help and some real seasonings. REFER to photos! Look closely at the hairs honestly my 3 year old can season meat better than that and 10 year old can cook better than that very disappointed and will not be wasting another penny on that again I don't care if it's 10 years down the line NEVER again..Food was dead dry and tasteless.. if u don't like cooking please don't as U ruin it for everyone. I wouldn't even eat it even if it was given to me for FREE!!! That is how bad it is!! So I paid £12.75 for rice and peas and dry unwashed non seasoned pieces of chicken thank god I asked for gravy even that was a waste no flavour chicken stock taste better than what I was given lol legit no salad no nothing just dry rice n chicken for what I paid lool that's what u calm day light robbery I would have enjoyed dixys for £3 way more!

Foods ok. Can't say much about the service though. But what do you expect from carribean food shops. Not known for there customer service skills.

Ordered a small brown stew chicken with rice and peas take away, portion sizes are large and I couldn't finish it all. It was delicious, I can't say which item is my favourite, I've tried fried fish, special chicken, jerk chicken, curry goat. All delicious and full if flavour, have not had anything bad from there

Only tried the jerk pork here so cant speak for the rest of the menu.

Its not often you see pork on the menu of a Caribbean restaurant so was delighted to see jerk pork here.

Couldn’t fault it - was really delicious. Pork falls apart and the sauce was so good with the rice & peas and creamy coleslaw.

Would visit wood green just for this!
