So I checked out Maureen's Caribbean Catering Ltd in Leeds the other day – it's a brand new spot! It's a pretty unassuming place, tucked away, but has a really warm and welcoming feel inside. The photos online don't fully capture the cozy atmosphere; it feels more like someone's home than a formal restaurant.

The menu focuses on classic Caribbean dishes, nothing too fancy. I saw jerk chicken, curried goat, and several types of rice and beans in the pictures. One photo showed a perfectly plated plate of callaloo soup, which looked incredibly vibrant and fresh. They seem to have a good selection of sides too, perfect for sharing. I'd recommend trying whatever goat dish they have – it's always a good test of a Caribbean kitchen.

Maureen's is perfect for a casual, comforting meal with friends or family. It's not a place for a fancy date night or anything, but it's great for a relaxed evening enjoying hearty, home-style food. What sets it apart is the genuine warmth and the obvious care that goes into the food. It’s that kind of place where you feel like you're eating at a friend's house, and that's a lovely thing.
