Being of Caribbean ancestry I know what great authentic Caribbean cuisine is and this place delivers and then some. I dined with a born and raised American and he was as impressed as I was.
My Saltfish fritters were perfect the dominant ingredient was incorporated immaculately into a dish that was full of gorgeous flavours yet light and the perfect way to begin our meal. My friend skipped a starter and went for the Jerk Chicken with a side of Roti. I ordered Curry Goat also with a side of Roti.
We did not have to wait long post my starter, and the mains arrived in good time. When we began eating any conversation was paused as we were totally taken by the beautiful main dishes. This is the best Curry Goat I have ever eaten. Perfectly spiced not too hot at all yet maintained the integrity of the dish. This is just as well as I am sensitive to overly spiced food.
Our Roti was cooked to perfection and as a Trinidadian by descent I was really impressed at how deliciously authentic it tasted, though I thought £6 for one was a bit pricey so it was just as well it was great. My friend absolutely loved his Jerk Chicken which he has enjoyed elsewhere but thought was exceptional this time round. The meat in my dish was so tender and contained no bones at all. A common complaint about Curry Goat is that it can be 'bony' I am happy to say not at Roger's Kitchen.
I finished off my meal with a dessert, Caribbean Rum Cake with Rum & Raisin Ice Cream to round off what was a fantastic night in a lovely setting. The service was great, polite, genuine, warm, informative and efficient so I happily tipped my waiter in cash on top of the service charge.
In conclusion I will say Roger's Kitchen is PRECISELY where 'sit down' Caribbean Restaurants need to be in the 21st Century. Our cuisine is as great as anyone's and deserves to be enjoyed by the world in superlative environments like this. Long live this place, I think I just might return again in just over a week. I love it!
