The food was very well cooked and tasty. The restaurant is really nice and well decorated and it has a nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced too!
Even though they let us book the table, the restaurant was closed. They should tell the customers and definitely catch up with the Google timetables.
It wasn't open and not sure if it's a restaurant still in operation Phone line doesn't work and wasted journey Been there in the past and it was lovely. Not sure what's going on but customers shouldn't be allowed to book on these sites!
Great food. Owners are very kind and welcoming. Did not have time for desert but definitely will go back if I ever visit UK again.
This is my second visit to Bamboula and their culinary delights did not disappoint. The ackee and saltfish was exquisite, and the homemade ginger beer is the best I've ever tasted! Decidedly my restataurant of choice whenever I'm in Brixton going forward.
quirky little restaurant, food was really tasty and good value, staff friendly. kitchen area looked a bit tired and in need of re-decorating, some items on the menu were not available. i enjoyed the visit though, the rum cocktails were ace!
I came across Bamboula on the internet, whilst researching a location to take my sister for dinner, on her birthday. A mid point between us threw up Brixton. We met and made our way there. The setting is relaxed and has a unique charm. The service was prompt, the food was excellent and the price was right. I will go again.
Our server was really friendly and made some great recommendations! Food was really flavourful, really enjoyed it! The goat curry was delicious! The plantain fries and sauce - highly recommended! Great food, great atmosphere! Will be back for sure!
Good service, nice ginger cocktails and authentic Caribbean food. What's not to like? We have been to this place several times and will keep coming!
Food was nice but it took nearly 2 hours to get our food, so minus points for that. They did apologise, and gave us a free glass of wine, but I'd rather the food was on time, as we were all starving.
The food is good but the portions are very small and the service it is extremely slow...at the end we wanted a dessert but the kitchen was closed already only because we had to wait for about one hour before receiving our orders (and part of that order was missing). That was very sad because the food itself is nice.
Very good meal, portions a bit small. I had never had West Indian food before, so it was a very good introduction. We can recommend it
Laid back vibe and chilled atmosphere! Felt that some of the food was mediocre, burnt chicken, overly sweet and small festivals. The curries were very tasty and delicious rum punch!
Tasty food at a reasonable price. Smallish portions which I didn't mind. Slow service but they did apologise for the wait. I would go again.
This restaurant has an authentic Caribbean vibe. It is cosy. The is delicious filling and well presented plus it is served in a timely manner. The staff were very friendly.
Bamboula - the food is faboula! Before I entered Bamboula I was feeling blue. One bite of the jerk chicken later, I was transported to my motherland Jamaica - it was great man.
The food is fantastic, but unfortunately service was very slow, and when the bill was brought over half of it was incorrect. It was all sorted out in the end, just a little disappointing!
Very attentive staff. Really nice chilled vibe within the restaurant even an outside seated area. Had several laughs with whom i think was the Restaurant Manager. Food was very well presented and the flavours were lovely. Melt in your mouth chicken was very memorable. Would definitely recommend and will visit again.
This is a little gem - the menu is concise and very well priced. All starters are £5 mains £10 and sides £3.50. The food is beautifully cooked and imaginatively presented. The portions are generous. We had a lovely evening here - the staff are friendly and attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Top tip - try a cocktail we had dark and stormys - wow!
Our waitress tried and therefore would say it that the Service was good. However the food wasn't authentic neither were Daiquiris. This is not worth the price. Only one waitress for a Saturday evening that I noted. Starters were overcooked. Curried chicken was like soup with chunks of Chicken with bones. Just not impressed and not worth the pricing.
The staff are the highlight. It's a small seemingly independent Caribbean restaurant serving a good small selection of standard Caribbean fare. But the staff are lovely smiling easy-going people. I'd go back to see them. The drinks selection is good too. It's a restaurant worth supporting.
It was a nice restaurant and the food was excellent. The staff were friendly and hospitable amd ensured we were well cared for throughout the evening
amazing food, great service and beautiful atmosphere. my new hangout.
Lovely service and cocktails really disappointed with the food tasted really tough small portion had high expectations but failed to meet them wouldn't recommend to eat in . However the cocktails were lovely
Best Caribbean food I've had in a restaurant. Very good service from friendly and helpful staff. The music was great and just the right volume. Very convenient location.
Good service. Food is good and excellent value for money. Not suited for those that can't handle pepper. Alcoholic drinks are are also good but overpriced.
Booked a table for Fathers day. The food and service was of good quality. The staff was very polite and cheerful. The atmosphere was very nice.
The staff were very welcoming and attentive, we enjoyed some great food in particular the fish curry! A great discovery for me (I live up the road in Oval)
Nice simple menu with well cooked Caribbean food. Restaurant had a good atmosphere and it was great to be able to book on line, would definitely go again.
Friendly staff and great food, would go back again. House cocktail was also amazing. I went there with a friend before going to a gig and it was perfect timing and obviously very well located in Brixton.
Very friendly service. Waitress/Waiter were lovely and willing to explain any option. They were also willing to help with dietary requirements. Food was flavoursome and we'll portioned and the wait was not long despite what we previously heard. The menu is a little confusing but they are already working on this and bringing a new one in shortly.
Amazing service and atmosphere! Food was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be returning with a much larger group very soon! Keep up the fantastic service and experience!
really friendly staff working in a really homey restaurant, with interesting food at a reasonable price! the goat curry was good and i would definitely go back again.
Great food, wonderful atmosphere and the service is impeccable. There are some very special dishes on the menu that I have never had before. We will definitely visit again
Lovely visit, staff were very attentive and food superd. It was our perfect start to our evening out in Brixton. If would recommend and strongly advise the 'Brixton Mess' for dessert, delicious.
Great customer service and tasty food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a nice unique Caribbean culinary experience. You won't be disappointed!
Very good food, friendly staff. Cosy athmosphere, clean place. If there is one thing I would "critisize" then only that the portions could be slightly bigger. But I give 6 out of 6 anyway.
Delicious food, generous portions- lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere. There's nothing not to like about here. I would highly recommend it, the prices are pretty great too
Can't say enough about Bamboula Caribbean Restaurant. The service was great and the food was AMAZING. My friends visiting from the States couldn't stop raving about it. Would definitely recommend.
I visited Bamboula for lunch with a friend and found it to be the perfect place if you want good food that is filling at an affordable price. The staff are very polite and the atmosphere is lovely. I would definitely recommend it.
Everything was fantastic! The food was so tasty that I still thinking about it. The staff was one of the bests I met. The place looks great and very cosy. Thank you very much
lovely food staff very helpful would definitely go back. Very easy to read menu and the cocktails were delicious Would have liked a pudding but was full up!
My husband and I dined at this restaurant for our Valentine's and I must say we couldn't have made a better choice. The food was well prepared and very tasty. The service was excellent and there was a good atmosphere. Money well spent.
Great little place made to look and feel like your in the Caribbean. Get the mixed starter you will not be disappointed. Great goat curry. Top off with home made spidering. Perfect.
Great food! The chicken curry was so fresh it melted in your mouth. The rum punch is definitely worth trying too! This restaurant has excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend a visit.
Great local restaurant to get some quick food ahead of gig at Brixton Academy. Very good authentic Jamaican food,friendly staff and a really nice place.
The staff were very polite but the food took too long to arrive at the table. The quality of some items of food was below par. I will not be revisiting Bamboula
