Reviews
Doubles were on the small plate menu and the portions were heavy! Well worth your money. Cocktails aren’t watered down. You’re paying for what you get which feels like a rarity in London now. Amazing tasting food, I’ll be thinking about them doubles for time.
From food, to music, to service, to cocktails, to the atmosphere, it was all incredible! What a place to spend your evening/night. We shared couple of starters and bigger plates, no notes. It was all delicious. The cocktails are incredible. The music is so so good and somehow it's never too loud but blends in perfectly. But over-all it's the incredible service, that makes you feel so relaxed, and welcomed. You step inside and you instantly have a good time. Can't wait to be back.
For me, Jumbi is now one of the best restaurants I've been to in London, a place where all your senses are more than satisfied. This place has serious stylee (style)! The venue is off the beaten path in Peckham, which makes it feel almost secret. You'll then get to the door and walk into a large, airy space of sensory adventure. The decor is calm, funky, cultured, and sophisticated all at the same time; those that work there add to this, as the staff are very friendly and very chilled. The food is what brought us here, and Jumbi really has evolved Caribbean cuisine like no other, maintaining the essence of the cuisines and flavors. The Jumbo Plantain Nachos (Black Bean) are a very good starter to share, and the use of the fruit rather than tortillas gives Nachos a new look, with the sweetness and crisp of the plantain complementing the light heat from the beans and tasting great when had with the melted cheese. Following this, we had a Trinidadian staple that was nice to find in a Caribbean restaurant—Trini Doubles; chosen with boneless oxtail, which was a great choice and a new way to enjoy the Trinidadian and Jamaican favorites, which are so moreish! 🤤 These were eaten while enjoying two Rum Punch cocktails during their Happy Hour; each Rum Punch on the menu has a unique stylee, with a different flower in each, and they have many more signature cocktails available. The drinks don't knock you dead, but they'll have you feeling relaxed and wanting another. The mains were then enjoyed with soft drinks and beers from the Caribbean, which is great to see rather than the usual suspects found everywhere else. For the first chosen main, we had their Big Bowl with boneless oxtail, which was a must, feeling like my birthday and Christmas arrived early. Rather than the typical side of rice & peas, the rice is golden, sweet, and complements the oxtail flavors well. The other main ordered was the Jumbi Lamak Crispy Mackerel; I loved seeing this fish on the menu. I really enjoyed the texture and taste of it with its sides. 😋 The mass collection of vinyl and seeing the sound system speakers are what really adds and defines Jumbi's atmosphere, with tunes you won't hear in many places. I loved hearing the mixture of Lovers Rock, along with some other eclectic tracks, making you pull out your phone to Shazam. No playlist, only a DJ knowing what to do to keep the good vibes flowing! I'm not done with Jumbi and will return without a doubt; however, I discovered north of the river in Tottenham they have a sister restaurant called Moko that I'll have to visit. Si mi deh, soon come!!! 😁🇯🇲🇹🇹🎶❤️
An acquaintance brought me here I loved it. The ambience, the music, the staff, etc. I tried the Jumbi Rum and it was gooood! I also had this rice with chick peas and some veges. Can’t remember what it was called 🤔💭 But it was really tasty. It’s definitely the best vegan meal I’ve had (and I’m not even vegan).
