    Excellent read some good reviews about it when we went it was better than expected nice quirky place good decor and plenty to look at . It's not the biggest place so it gets busy very quickly definitely need to book if going . The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you quick service not the biggest choice on the menu but foods really good and hot nice portions. Plenty of cocktails to choose from they are even better than the food. There a few big tables so can get a few round them definitely going back

    Absolutely amazing food! The flavours and quality is just sublime. I recommend the Zombie cocktail! Service is spot on. We dined outside with our dog and they brought us a bowl and actually seemed happy to be serving people which is a rarity these days.

    Nice vibe inside looks the part but the food is not caribbean at all cooked by a white man for a start and was not even on the bone more like out of a tin curry... And the prices are way way to high

    Awful bland food. Good vibe there but the food was tasteless and very disappointing! Would not be going back again!

    We got takeaway cocktails. They managed to make 18 cocktails in less than 15 minutes which is impressive in itself. Had a convoy of two staff members come with us to put drinks in the car and suggested their best idea of how to get them back without spilling anything. Cocktails tasted great, could definitely taste the rum, just how we like our drinks!!

    Took the wife and kids, it was busy night as there was a live music session on and it was Notting Hill carnival weekend . The atmosphere was lively and the vibes was good. They gave us a table upstairs away from the bar, the food was delicious and came in excellent time with plantains and rice and peas cooked to perfection. Decor was properly authentic and resembled the Carribeans style very closely. Great food and very good tentative service. Wouldn’t recommend it for very young children after 6/7pm as it becomes a rocking bar but 100% recommend a visit here for food rum and vibes

    I went to roots when it first opened pre covid, years ago! And going back now, it's just gotten better. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful food, presented stunningly. The atmosphere is chilled, and open to any occasion. Took my kids (17 year old twins) and it was simply perfect. Son has lamb chops, my pescetarian daughter had the shrimp, and as I eat small amounts (barbaric surgery 6 years ago) I ordered from the small bites menu and was stuffed! Highly recommended, perfect for a midweek chill out meal, or a weekend night out.

    Good food and service. It wasn't very busy but the other customers were quite loud. Maybe I'm just getting old..

  • 5/5 Tricia N. 1 year ago on Google
    Authentic Jamaican food with a great ambiance. I’m a big fan of Jamaican food and this hit the spot, meat was very well seasoned and the dish was flavourful.

    Delicious Carribbean food, good variety of cocktails, relaxed vibe as we went in the day, I think it becomes more like a club in the evening.

  • 4/5 Token J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place, good food, good cocktails, price is decent. Get's a little mad on a weekend tea time when you are trying to eat, but theres half cut people in and out on the cocktails.

  • 5/5 Emi K. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a gem! Love everything about this place! Authentic decor, great atmosphere, delicious food, very good drinks and attentive service. A must when you're in Hull! We had jerk shrimp, arawak king shrimp and curry goat and everything was spot on. Highly recommend flaming zombie cocktail 🍹we tried few others and they were all very good. Such a shame we live so far away that would've been our favourite restaurant.
