So i was a bit let down by Cummin Up. I was expecting a lot from previous reviews, granted I’m a veggy and didn’t try the jerk chicken which most people rave about, but still. The veggy curry with rice is a bit overpriced for what you get. It’s filling and hot but there isn’t a lot of flavour, its largely potoes, cabbage and onions, which isn’t so interesting. £4.5 when chicken with rice is cheaper made me feel a little cheated. Pair this with abrupt service and I feel like I’d rather go somewhere else. It might be a different deal for meat eaters, but if your aren’t going to put the effort into the veggy options then why bother having them at all?

Cummin Up serves some of the best food you’ll eat in New Cross. I highly recommend their jerk chicken fried rice, it’s only a couple of pounds and is the perfect snack for the walk home from the station. The food at Cummin Up is very very good and there’s a fair selection of options, as well as a fridge of drinks, all at ridiculously cheap prices. Not to be missed.

First of all, it has an excellent name. Secondly I love West Indian food and this place has huge servings that are friendly on your pocket. Smack bang by New Cross Gate station I used to love going there as a student and the yummy smell it gives off makes a welcome change from the usual stench of bum and pollution New Cross tends to have. The staff are absolute mentals and have a habit of sometimes shouting incoherently and changing your order. Very friendly mind! Stuffing your face with jerk chicken, curried goat, rice and peas etc. etc. always make a nice change from other generic takeaways. So next time you’re debating a Chinese or a pizza this could make a welcome change.

The jerk chicken always bloody sells out by about 5 o’clock. This place has expanded this year, going from a little take away where you literally ordered food from the lady in the box, to actually having a seating area now! Wow. I think this is because they jerk chicken is amazing. As well as this, the patties are AMAZING go for the spicy lamb one and your mouth will be on fire(in a good way). One thing. The curried goat. It is so hot and spicy that it is overkill. And because they cook it with bones for flavour it seriously could be dangerous for your teeth when you bite down hard on one. ouchy.

I absolutely love anything West Indian, as my favourite place in the world is Jamaica. I have been their twice therefore know what the food is like. This takeaway restaurent is delicious, and highly recommended to anyone who loves their curryed chicken, rice and peas, creamy coldslaw and all the other amazing choices there are such as curry goat, ackea and saltfish and so on. The helpings are big, its cheap, and a brilliant, satifying, rather healthy meal to start, or finish the day with. Its on the new cross road and hard to miss!
