Attention all hungry belly people, Guanabana is the spot to be! This Caribbean - halal smokehouse restaurant offers non-stop GOOD food, music and vibes. I hope you've brought your appetite because this munch is SERIOUS!

We both ordered the mango mocktail mojitos, whilst struggling to pick out what we wanted because everything looked and sounded nice! I went for the boneless jerk chicken, served with rice and peas, fried plantain and salad. The chicken was succulent, juicy and packed with flavors. There was plenty of sauce and the portion size was more than generous. Click here to see what we ate on my Insta reel and TikTok page.

My girly went for the half jerk chicken island roast, served with fried plantain, carrots, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, grilled cabbage and smothered with jerk gravy. We both confirmed between one another the food passed the vibe check. It’s really hard to find authentic Caribbean restaurants, where the food tastes as good as its made out to look on social media.

It was only right that we order a mac and cheese dish to share between us, it’s the unspoken code when you go out to eat. Trust me, that mac and cheese didn't disappoint, it wasn't too runny, it had a great cheese pull and the top was perfectly grilled to give that slight crunch to it. This side dish felt more like a main, the portion was quite big for one person. Don’t worry friend, you have the option to ask for a takeaway box if needed... I know we did.

Genuinely I had no complaints about Guanabana, the food came out hot and fast, the chicken was well seasoned and the price for the food was good value for money, especially when eating out in London. I loved the aesthetic inside, the green plants, abstract artwork on the walls, combined with a great music playlist created a relaxed and chilled vibe to enjoy a good comfort meal over.

Head down to Kentish Town, north London if you are looking for a great spot to hangout and share a meal with friends, a date or even family.
