Wish I had found this place when I stayed nearby! Delicious food - I asked for and got the right amount of spice with my combo meal of jerk chicken, tender oxtail and plantain. Special shoutout to Dylan who was very nice (walked me through the menu). It's in a food court, so a bit busy but definitely recommend the food!

The food, service and atmosphere was out of this world! The food was well seasoned and fresh, the worker was kind, quick and funny! The wait time was only 15 mins, which is great for a Caribbean restaurant, especially since there was only one guy making everything. I had a rough day today, but he gave me great advice that I'll never forget! I definitely recommend without any hesitation!

Hadn’t had curried goat for a long time, so stopped by here and wasn’t disappointed. Huge portions, a lot of flavour with very tender meat, and generally a great value for money. It’s tucked away in a shopping center, but you can take it away or there’s some places to sit in the food court. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu.

Don’t go here for atmosphere it’s in the middle of a food court so that’s not the vibe. But the staff are really friendly and polite, they clearly take service very seriously and care about your options. This is homemade out your aunties kitchen soul Jamaican, if you want that east London Caribbean come here and try you. I recommend the curry goat, different level, jerk chicken is also up there with other local restaurants.

A Flavorful Fusion at Hot Scotch Introduction: Nestled in the heart of Stratford, Hot Scotch offers a delightful culinary journey that combines tradition with innovation. During my recent visit, I savored a jerk chicken roti wrap a harmonious blend of familiar ingredients presented in an entirely new way. Main Course: Jerk Chicken Roti Wrap The star of the show was undoubtedly the jerk chicken roti wrap. Tender, marinated chicken danced with fiery spices, creating a symphony of flavors. The soft roti acted as the perfect canvas, enfolding the vibrant ingredients. Here s what made this dish stand out: Jerk Chicken: Succulent and well-seasoned, the chicken carried the smoky essence of the grill. Each bite revealed layers of complexity, from the initial kick of allspice to the lingering warmth of Scotch bonnet peppers. Plantain: The sweet plantain slices added a delightful contrast. Their caramelized edges provided a hint of sweetness, balancing the heat from the chicken. Cucumber Chutney: A refreshing surprise! The zesty cucumber chutney cut through the richness, offering bursts of tanginess. It was a clever twist on the classic condiment. Salad: Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onions completed the ensemble. Their freshness provided a textural contrast, enhancing the overall experience. Verdict: A Must-Try Hot Scotch s jerk chicken roti wrap is a revelation a fusion of Caribbean soul and street food flair. Whether you re a seasoned foodie or a curious explorer, this dish deserves a spot on your culinary bucket list. Visit Hot Scotch, and let your taste buds embark on a memorable adventure!

Friend just bought back Veg Red Pea Soup for £7. Watery extremely salty with no veg apart from around 10 peas and a small spoon worth of veg and two twigs of thyme. It was too salty to consume. Update: I have received a refund and an apology which I accepted. With an assurance that the food I received was not of the usual quality.

I visited for the first time and had the oxtail meal. This comes with rice &peas and a side salad. It was very tasty. The portion size was perfect and the portion matched the price. The service was flawless. The owner was polite and attentive. Will definitely be coming back as want to try the curry goat. Oh side note, first visit and got a freebie taste test! I can only assume it was an ackee and saltfish spring roll and it was absolutely divine. 10/10 defo recommend. Im Trini btw, so I definitely have an idea about flavours and seasonings lol.

First visited this place this week, Tuesday 18th if I remember rightly. Spoke to the manager (Darryl?), who used to work over at Rhythm Kitchen in Westfield Stratford I first tried one of the patties, which had a good heat without being too overbearing, and well-seasoned dough Going back to the manager, he freely informed me that they were bought in from their supplier. Given that, I decided to try one of their many varied dishes that were all made on-site I tried the goat, rice&beans, & salad bowl. The manager was patient as I asked questions throughout service (Im a foodie, & was interested in how my food is prepared/served). I took it away, paired it with a couple of coconut drinks for a more caribbean feel. It reminded me of my trip to Barbados; the food better even - the red kidney beans had just a touch more firmness than the rice, the meat was well spiced, and practically fell off the bone, and the salad, which was an admittedly limited portion, was fresh and, when paired with the mango dressing, tropical Suffice to say, I went back later that week for the oxtail, which was similarly scrumptious. It takes the staff a bit of time to set up at lunchtime, but popping in there at the end of the day, when youve worked a full shift & need something made for you that is simultaneously flavoursome & filling? I couldnt recommend anywhere better in Stratford Mall
