If you're craving some authentic Caribbean flavours and looking for the best jerk chicken in London, look no further than Guanabana Restaurant! Located on Kentish Town Road in Camden, our restaurant offers a range of classic and contemporary Caribbean dishes that will transport your taste buds to the islands. But what sets us apart from other Caribbean restaurants in London is our commitment to using the freshest ingredients and traditional cooking techniques to create truly authentic and delicious dishes.
What is Oak Smoked Jerk Chicken?
Jerk chicken is a popular Caribbean dish that features chicken marinated in a flavourful mixture of spices, herbs, and other ingredients, such as allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. The chicken is then grilled or smoked over wood to infuse it with a smoky flavor that complements the spicy and aromatic marinade. At Guanabana Restaurant, we use oak wood to smoke our jerk chicken, which enhances the flavor and gives it a distinctive taste that you won't find anywhere else.

While we're proud of our reputation as the best place for jerk chicken in London, Guanabana Restaurant offers much more than just this classic Caribbean dish. Our menu features a range of other Caribbean favorites, such as oxtail plate and curry lamb, as well as vegetarian and pescetarian options that cater to all dietary needs.
Vegetarian and Pescetarian Options
For those looking for vegetarian or pescetarian options, we have a range of delicious dishes that will satisfy your cravings. Our small plates include crispy calamari and garlic jerk prawns, while our large plates feature pan-fried sea bass with feta mash and coconut herb sauce, and the Carlita vegetable trio with black bean stew, chickpea stew, callaloo and okra, plantain, and rice and peas. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the flavors of Caribbean cuisine, regardless of their dietary preferences, and that's why we've made sure to include a variety of vegetarian and pescetarian options on our menu.
