“ Sat 2nd Nov '2024: First time eating from here and the food was lovely. I had oxtail and rice, Mac and cheese and great customer service too. Thank you ”
“ I love ossie’s, I’m here at least once or twice a week. I mostly have rice and meat dishes- because I’m a gym girl, that’s all I need. Jerk pork and pepper steak with rice and peas are my favs, as well as the curry goat/chicken. I get good service and I eat at the store most times because I like my food piping hot and heated once. The portions are huge too. Me I love a huge portion of food. I really enjoy the food from here. ”
“ The real deal. Not imitated. I've read a lot of reviews complaining about the customer service. Fair, but you don't go to a Jamaican takeaway looking for customer service. I think all Jamaicans failed that subject on their cooking course but excelled everywhere else. The foods amazing, the jerk chicken was cooked to perfection and the chicken Pattie was sublime. Service could be sped up but it's worth the wait. This is now My go to 24hr takeaway on Walworth road after going to bagel king for so many years. Also cheap. The jerk in cocoa bread with coleslaw was just 3pound. Recommended. ”
“ I'm normally a "why would I spend 14 on a large portion of chicken when I can cook buy a whole large chicken myself for half that?" sort of person. I even packed my own Jollof rice when visiting London from Scotland. I just needed some extra protein for my rice, and so I walked into Ossie's. Long story short, I just bought my third large jerk chicken in 3 days, this one to freeze overnight and take back to Scotland and continue to savour the exquisitely tender, juicy, tasty, spicy chicken. The beef patties remind me of Mr Bigg's meatpies from my childhood. Tasty, meaty, crunchy. And keeps well in the fridge or freezer. This is how addictions begin, people. Because now I'm sure I MUST get me some Ossie's anytime I'm in London. ”
“ Been smashing Ossies for years now. Best Caribbean food I’ve had and I’ve had a lot! So nice I travel regularly from east London. Big portions and the staff are always very accommodating and also very friendly. Oxtail and curry goat are very nice, but my favourite by far is the Peppered steak. Oh and the Coleslaw is to die for. ”
“ Just don’t get the bad reviews. We’ve been going Ossies for years and live out of town. We come up specially for it. The goat was sublime. So much food in the container. They aren’t shy with packing it out. We sat in to eat. Found the staff friendly. Happy to give me more gravy to take my leftovers home. As just could not eat it all. My husband had oxtail with rice n peas and was very happy with it. They now take card payment as well as cash which is handy. We had some lovely chats with other customers. We’ve never had a bad food from here. If we had. We sure wouldn’t be going back. I believe you treat people how you would like to be treated yourself a bit of respect and politeness goes a long way. Remember that’s some long shifts the staff are working there !! ”
“ Girls sitting in the table next to me suggested that for the maximum experience I should order jerk chicken. Food was great, prices were good and people were cool. I was notified that jerk chicken is spicy and thus I walked out of the shop sweating. Better than fish and chips. Would definitely recommend to a friend. ”
“ Really great food and great customer service ”
