Caribbean Scene Stratford

I was leaving the cinema which is right next door to this spot and decided i wanted to try some caribbean food in london so i stopped at Caribbean Scene. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peas & the rice had no flavor and the oxtails were the worst i’ve every tasted. I could have made better oxtails myself.

I like this place, particularly as the buffet allows me to try a bit of everything. The food and service has been good on both times I visited and I liked the atmosphere when I visited. Good fun for groups. My only criticism is that items in the buffet seem to come and go on different days — no macaroni cheese last time :-(

I’m a huge lover of West Indian & Caribbean Food! Love it more than my own native food (Philippines) lol. Any Unilocalers out there who knows how to cook a nice decent Caribbean dish please drop a line and I’ll come round with a fork in my hand.
Caribbean Scene — Stratford is situated right in the heart of Stratford Circus. Very good location as it is right by the cinema, Stratford Royal theatre, The art centre and 2012 Olympic stadium.
I’ve been there on a numerous of occasions for the buffet as it is the only Caribbean Scene in east London that does buffets. In the evenings a large plate cost £8.99 and £4.99 for a small plate but you cant have seconds with a small plate. You do have the option of going for the open menu although their mains and starters are quiet pricey.
They have an open counter where the chef serves the food for you, so having to chose the amount of portions that you want is out of the question. They dont do take away’s for the buffet so you’ll have to lick the plate clean or you’ll be £5 if you don’t finish your meal. So choose wisely
I got me curry goat, coleslaw, fishcakes, plain rice and the BBQ chicken. Quality of the food was good I was pleased with my curry goat and the coleslaw was so yum I had to go for seconds and by then I was already full!
It’s a one floor restaurant so its good for wheelchair users and place is hardly ever full. Very cosy, nice and clean and I love the built-​in huts that adds the Caribbean Island touch, the LCD screen showing videos of the Islands and of course the soft reggae music in the background. Customer service was superb although some beg to differ I must be one of the lucky ones.
There has been mixed reviews about Caribbean Scene –Stratford. I’d say give it a go and would love to hear your thoughts.
