The Dutchie - Croydon

Very good, excellent service, friendly and more than happy to explain the menu to a newbie! We didn't wait long for our food. And when the food arrived it was delicious. Original Jamaican food, very tasty😊😊😊Will definitely be back!

The food was excellent but the service was a little slow. The background music quality was not great. the decoration and furniture etc. were really nice.

It took a long time to be seated and the food was even slower. Fried chicken and fish fillet were very salty. Not enough napkins on the table and the cutlery was dirty. Plates weren't served with the platter. The table was sticky. Toilets were horrendous and there wasn't any toilet paper, the taps splashed water all over the sides. Rotis/lobster/vibe and ambiance was nice. Service staff were helpful. Loved the 241 cocktails !!!

The food was lovely, but the waiting time was ridiculous, the waitress was brilliant had advised that they were 2 staff down, and she didn't normally do tables, she does the bar, so a round of applause for the lovely lady. Then this loud music came on while we were in the middle of our dinner which meant we had to really shout at each other to hear ourselves talking, not sure where they are going with that? Is it a dining experience or a rave?

Excellent food, portion sizes were generous. The price of our bill was excellent for the four of us plus we had food to take home.

Fantastic food, staff and atmosphere. Loved the old skool reggae also. I would definitely recommend The Dutchie Caribbean Restaurant and I will definitely be going back there. Top marks all round.

Great restaurant. The Nuffield wings platter is so fab. Well worth the money. Big portions of food but should come with the slaw. Watermelon crush is the best drink ever! Service can be slow, but worth the wait when it comes. A must try

Visited for the first time on recommendation and was not disappointed. Food was very tasty and authentic with very generous portion sizes. I tried the chicken curry roti - absolutely delicious. Cocktails were well proportioned with alcohol. Tried the paradise and scored this 10/10, very flavoursome and not too strong! Friendly & comfortable atmosphere Will be returning again very soon

I visited this restaurant after being recommended by a friend and I must say I'm very glad I went! The atmosphere, the food and staff were all pleasant! I'll definitely be returning soon

A little hidden gem tucked away in the centre of Croydon. The food is really tasty with a great selection on the menu. It is authentic Carribean food so is well seasoned and spicy! The cocktails are soooo good! And when it's 2 for 1, it's hard not try a few! The staff were really welcoming, friendly and attentive. The only point I would make is the seats aren't that comfy but hey, we were only there for a few hours for dinner and it was worth it!

One bar man doing drinks for the whole restaurant hence we didnt get drinks for 40 whole minutes! Rude staff, slow service and avergae food.

The drink and food took over 40mins to be served after we ordered and no attentioned paid to us, ie, "are you enjoying your meals?". I want to support my people but with this kind of service, they make it hard.

Food is amazing!! So tasty! Plantain comes with most of the meals so we should've been told that before we ordered our side portions. Portions are a nice size, which is good. The only let down is that everything takes ages to come, including drinks. Overall, great service: friendly and attentive.

The food Andy drink at Dutchie Pot was excellent. I will definitely return. The service was very friendly and efficient. There was a long wait, but we were a large party of 10 on a Friday night which could have accounted for this. We had a great time.

Loved both the food and the cocktails. Quick service especially for a Saturday afternoon! My second time at this restaurant I loved it so much I came back with my partner! Would definately come back again.

Great restaurant, lovely food, great prices! One of the best Caribbean restaurants in London so far, you can taste the seasoning! Will definitely be visiting again and again!

Great service, excellent food, lovely atmosphere and good value for money. This was our second visit here and will definitely be going again. The cocktail were really good as well.

Been to the Dutchie on two occasions and have really enjoyed it. The food is very authentic and delicious especially the jerk pork. Service can be slow at times however staff are very polite and accommodating.

Great food and good portion size. Maybe a little slow but it's understandable as they get so busy with some difficult diners. Our waitress on only her third shift coped marvellously. Recommend the cocktails too.

Good food, great cocktails and the service was impeccable. I will definitely return, it is much better than Turtle Bay which is not authentic Caribbean food.

The atmosphere was great and the food was fresh and tasty! The cocktails were also good and we will definitely be back again very soon.

the food was amazing and so was the service. definitely will be going back. we went at lunch time so it was nice and quite

Food was of a good standard. Portion sizes were generous. Waitresses seemed under pressure as the restaurant was so busy and struggled with some of our Orders, leading to us being overcharged. However when pointed out this issue was resolved quickly.

Amazing food and music! Waiting time was nearly over an hour..it is a small resteraunt however not enjoyable waiting however they did apologise and accommodate us as soon as possible!!! food definitely made up for it! Amazing food hearty Caribbean food! 2 for 1 cocktails!! Always a plus

The food was good but the service is poor. The waiters/waitresses at no point throughout your meal come to see if you're ok, whether you're enjoying your meal or whether additional drinks are required. It would be nice if at the beginning of the meal they introduced themselves- gave their name etc and said they will be looking after us. However this didn't happen and we found that the only way to get a waiter's attention is to call out to them whilst they are passing and yet disappointingly they include a service charge in the bill, which is not deserved! We initially had a waiter who got our drinks order wrong- we asked for Strawberry daquiris and received Strawberry Mojitos, it then took a further 15min for the correct drinks to be brought to us. We shared a starter and the waiter offered to bring us an additional plate, which he never brought! We then had to ask another waitress for the plate, it appeared that waitress was then assigned to our table. We had our meal, then had to wait 20min after finishing our meal to get a waitresses attention for the bill. All in all I won't be rushing back.

The food was exceptional. I brought a friend who had never tasted caribbean food before - now she is hooked. Keep up the good work.

Been to this venue twice and the food is delicious best carribean restaurant ever the food taste lingers on your mouth and the service is expectional.

Great food, service and ambience! I will definitely be recommending the venue and returning to sample some other dishes. This eatery is a very much needed addition to Croydon.

Great place to eat and drink, the food was really good. The staff were really friendly. ANd the 2for1 drinks offer is fantastic. Highly recommended ******

Bit over priced, the rice and peas was burnt, the curry goat had lots of bone. Not that inprest with the food, will not be going back again

Good food very reasonably priced. We were told in advance service is slow but we didn't have to wait that long. Would definitely go back

Food was very good but as the restaurant forgot that I pre-booked for the meal then all of our meals came at different times. ..

I took my daughter to Dutchie restaurant for a pre birthday lunch yesterday. The service - Impeccable, Thank you Garfield. The food was to die for (I'm in love with the Chef whoever he is) The two for one Cocktails were the best I've tasted outside of the Caribbean (did not have to ask for a top up of rum - lol), I actually could not manage the second one and that is not like me at all - lol. My daughter had an amazing time and we will definitely be coming back and bringing the rest of the family. Well done Dutchie and keep up the good work!!

My first time however for a Monday it was very busy and we were waiting quite a lot. You need more staff. However the food was great.

Good food and service, the best Caribbean food I've eaten in Croydon. I would definitely go back and recommend the restaurant to others. The chicken wing platters were really good finger licking good.

Food was lovely full of flavour ,bit over priced . Waiting time for our food was a bit long but staff was lovely we was given a free drink an starter for us waiting so long .would definately go back

This place is a great new discovery for me. The food is outstanding and the staff are friendly, plus the cocktails are great and are always 2 for 1! In fact I've been there twice in one week with the same group of friends!

Waited 2 hours for food with a poor excuse. Although the food was good. I ordered jerk chicken which came with rice and peas and plantain which wasn't good but I ordered a side of roti which was dry and hard

BEST Carrabian Food Ever......my little version of Jamaica in Croydon. Excellent service, great prices. Love the 2 for 1 cocktails......proper cocktails. Hope they stay, excellent food. The noisy bit, is the music but I like it, I don't want to go to a dead quiet restaurant, that be just boring and weird, so I don't knownhow that is a negative, who eats in complete silence at a restaurant.

Food was fine, buy 1 get 1 free cocktails tasted like there was no alcohol in them, service very slow. Would go back if not really hungry

We visited The Dutchie Restaurant and Bar on a Friday night to celebrate friendship and good health. A good evening was had by all and we sampled both the extensive drinks and food menu.

Food was as expected and presented very nicely. I had the chicken roti with sweet potato fries. Very very nice and generous portion. My friend had lobster, this was small but tasty. Unfortunately the service was bad. The owner did apologise and gave a valid reason. We were also give 2 free cocktails each which was a great gesture. I look forward to going back to see if the srevive has improved.

Authentic foot so yummy Service amazing and cocktails were yummy Definitely worth a visit Group loved everything! We will be back very very soon! Amazing

Food was delicious. Went with the family and everyone enjoyed their food. Very large portions which is good. Had to take a doggy bag. Overall very nice and chilled place

Very slow service staff are unattentive and most definitely not trained in basic service. Startes poor quality for the price and took forever to come (chilli fish was more batter than fish and shrimp 6 for £6 lol. Mains is what managed to give this rating a 3 jerk chicken was definitely jerked and presentable and the same for the jerk salad. Drinks were ok.

Good food and cocktails, portions sizes are big and value for money. Rather casual and loud atmosphere at weekends hard to hear each other talk

Very lovely members of staff,helpful and polite.Food was amazing and very well priced. Service was very quick too.very good. I can't wait to revisit 😊

Was lovely . Just waited a lil while for food . And i think big parties shld have more time to celebrate bday with families .

Best Caribbean restaurant I have been to in a long time. I def recommend the nuff wings platter for the starter and get a portion of plantain to go with it. It's amazing! Main food portions are excellent for big eaters and the 2 for 1 cocktails had the room spinning last night for me..lol...thanks again guys for a great date night out with the hubby!

Very good. Nice food - excellent atmosphere! The waiting staff are very nice and welcoming and they will sort out a seating problem as quickly as they can, as they did for me last Friday..
