Guanabana Restaurant Kentish Town Road London
I’m a menu hog. I read it three times before I even look at the specials board. Guanabana’s menu is a short story, not a novel, and that’s a good thing. Less stress, more eating.
You’ve got your rotis, your curries, and the obligatory rice and peas. But the real star? The curry goat. It is so tender it practically falls apart if you look at it wrong. Is it okay to hug a plate of meat? Asking for a friend.
The Jerk Chicken: A Religious Experience
Let’s be honest, jerk chicken is the benchmark. Get it wrong, and you’ve lost the crowd. Guanabana gets it right. The skin is crisp, almost caramelized, with that perfect balance of sweet, heat, and smoke.
My first bite made me close my eyes. I’m not kidding. It was that good. The heat creeps up on you, too—it’s not a punch in the face. It’s a warm, spicy hug that lingers. You’ll need a napkin and possibly a glass of water. Or three.
