Brown Eagle

i only had so much money on me, digging through my purse and pockets for coins, hoping to snag a pound or two. i had the exact amount for their cheapest dish. i forget what it was called but i had the fish/​salad/​rice. great portions for the price, most def! its better if it hot so eat it pronto, not like i, ordering it take out steez and having the re-​heat that bad boy.

Not sure if I should mention this place on Unilocal.I mean, some things you should just keep to yourself, right? Especially if it’s this good!
The kitchen is located to the rear of the restaurant. All orders are placed and served here (there is no waitress service) — It’s a little back to front really as eat-​in diners always have the take-​away traffic passing through the dining area. The staff seem to be quite serious with taking orders and serving (not very smiley), but polite all the same.
Take away or eat in, the servings are GENEROUS and the flavours consistent and spot on. Our plates were piled high (another customer remarked that I would be 2lbs heavier tomorrow!)
The flavours caught me off guard — I expected the usual run of the mill ill-​cooked food pushed out by many Caribbean restaurant establishments… and I’ve eaten at many.
Plaintains — Ripeness just right and cooked lightly.
Oxtail — I didn’t sample it, but it was tender to cut and smelt goood.
Snappers (fish) — This came with an optional fish sauce. The sauce, onions and peppers complimented the fish and it was not dry.
Rice and Peas — The rice was moist and flavoursome.
Macaroni cheese — Yes please, more macaroni cheese!
Coleslaw — This was slightly fruity (I think I could taste apple). Oh, it was tasty!
There’s also a good selection of D&G drinks (a popular Jamaican soda company — the drinks are quite sweet) among others. There was a bar, but it wasn’t open when I visited in the early evening.
Three meals, 2 sides and 4 drinks = £26. Not bad at all!
I take my hat off to this place! At last, a restaurant that takes pride in authentic and consistent Caribbean food.
