“ We were welcomed by Ebony, she was very friendly, she was the only waitress there and ran the restaurant seamlessly. Romeo was the bar tender, he mixed gorgeous cocktails. He helped Ebony on the restaurant floor in between mixing. I can't thank them both enough for making our night so enjoyable. The food was delicious, with lots of choice. I can't wait to go back and try something different. ”

“ Ma Petite Jamaica in Camden offers a delightful taste of Jamaican cuisine, paired with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. The service is commendable, and while the food prices are reasonable given the location, you might find yourself paying a bit more for their delightful Guinness punch. The decor stands out with its vivid Caribbean colors and artistic renditions of Bob Marley’s "Redemption Song" lyrics, creating an immersive dining experience. If you’re in Camden and craving authentic Jamaican flavors, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I'm looking forward to returning! ”
“ Jerk chicken wings and oxtail stew were full of flavour and fall off the bone! Pina coladas were also great, I do wish the spring rolls serving was more than 2 rolls though but otherwise had a nice time here ”
“ This was such a cute, quaint place! The food was tasty! I enjoyed the lobster Mac & cheese balls with the Jerk chicken wings. I knew the meal was going to be excellent as there were two older male Jamaican cooks in the back that look like they throw down all the time! Kisses to the cooks!! We didn't get a chance to come back for Happy hour, but I did have the Rum punch during brunch and it was good, we got a little buzz from it! Stop in and try them out! It's worth it! ”
“ We wanted to try some authentic Caribbean food whilst in London for the weekend and Ma Petite Jamaica delivered. The food was delicious, the staff were all super helpful and friendly, the restaurant is cool and the drinks were half price for happy hour (5-7pm) We tried the pork ribs, jerk chicken and ox tail stew. Everything was great. Thanks for a great experience. ”
“ We had a bunch of share plates: jerk chicken, plantains, cassava, battered squid, sweet potato chips, and a jerk chicken wrap. The food was amazing, I particularly enjoyed the plantain. Recommend getting a bunch of share plates to try different things! Staff were wonderful, music was great but the decor was a bit kitschy. All in all, a great experience! ”
