Amazing authentic Jamaican food. The restaurant felt a bit cramped sitting near to other tables. The drinks were a bit expensive for size of glass

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Service with a smile. I recommend the Negril platter for the full Negril experience! Perhaps with the refreshing homemade lemonade.

Amazing night, however I was sat by the door so I had to keep pushing it closed when people came in to avoid getting cold. I asked to move and I was told that the next table would arrive shortly. Only problem with that was, why didn’t they just sit the arriving table next to the door if we were allowed to change seat? Other than that, I will 100% go back. Lovely food and atmosphere.

Smallish restaurant but with heated and covered patio area - superb Caribbean food. The goat curry is reliably excellent, the Oxtail was beautifully flavoured and a generous portion. Sides are equally good - and to top it off, lovely staff.

My 3rd tome of eating here. The food is still wonderful. It was busy so we had to wait a little to pay bill once being served but waiter was polite, warm and friendly. He recommended a Brixton beer which my brother enjoyed. They can easily adjust menu to cater for intolerances with lots of choice in the menu. Fabulous! We will go back again!

Negril has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and upon entry we were greeted warmly. Following being seated, we ordered drinks ( homemade ginger beer & lemonade), which were delicious. We tucked in to saltfish fritters, chicken curry and grilled seabass, which were truly scrumptious. I would recommend Negril to everyone, you won't be disappointed.

I have lot of love for Negril as it has always provided delicious food at the right price in a relaxed, unfussed setting Ever since I lived in South London , I've tried to engineer friend meet ups at Negril when possible This hasn't changed even though I now live in Essex. Long may Negril reign as the best West Indian Kitchen in London.

Everyone enjoyed the food which tasted great . I had a pina colada cocktail which was one of the best i've had. The service was great - the only downside was the seating was very cramped..

Amazing food, only negative was that they had ran out of rice and peas so we had to have boiled rice, but my partner declared it was the best Jamaican he has ever eaten - which is a BIG deal coming from him! Cocktails were also amazing and the staff very friendly. Great place I will be recommending to friends and I will be back again!

I love the fact the waiters and waitress are mostly carribean as well as the kitchen staff. Saltfish fritters were on point as well as the plaintains . My only criticism is the mains - jerk chicken was mor of a bland roast chicken, sea bass was bland with no flavour. We spoke to staff about this and they informed that they had to remove the spice to suit the palets of the European customers, how about customers who want to taste authentic jerk chicken? We recommend adopting nandos style were you can order your chicken according to spice, chef was not willing to that do that but willing to marinate the chicken over night to get some flavour- a start I guess but such a shame african- carribean customers are no longer being catered to in Brixton!

Had a chilled relaxed time with friends and family for my Birthday. Only criticism is that a couple of items had run out on the menu and our booking was for 6PM. Going back on a summer night to experience eating outside, hopefully full menu available. :-)

There were few empty tables but the waiter refused to swap put worst table (right next to the entrance where people come and goes every few seconds, cold and disruptive) with the one which is empty. Never go back there again.

Lovely experience! The food was really delicious and the service was great. The prices were very reasonable and it was good value for money. The only reason why I gave 5 was because the space was really cramped as the tables were too close together. Would definitely visit again though.
