About Ma Petite Jamaica Shoreditch
Caribbean Restaurant in London
Ma Petite Jamaica Shoreditch is tucked away in a quiet corner of Shoreditch, a welcome escape from the bustling London streets. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly; it feels less like a restaurant and more like a warm, inviting home. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the space features bright colours and lots of natural light, giving it a cheerful, sun-drenched feel, even on a cloudy London day.
Their menu is packed with classic Jamaican dishes, with plenty of options for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. I spotted jerk chicken, of course, but also things like curried goat and ackee and saltfish. One photo shows a perfectly plated plate of fried plantains, looking golden and crispy. I'd recommend trying the patties – they looked amazing, and I can’t wait to go back and sample them!
What makes Ma Petite Jamaica Shoreditch special is its genuine warmth and authentic food. It’s the kind of place perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends, a celebratory meal with family, or just a quick, delicious lunch. It definitely stands out from other Caribbean restaurants in London with its cozy vibe and home-style cooking; you leave feeling like you've experienced a little slice of Jamaica.

Every trip I take to London, Im always looking for some good Caribbean food. The first few trips were a miss but as soon as I found this spot, it was a hit! As soon I walked in, I was greeted and welcomed with joy. Kamal, the manager was super nice. When I walked in they were closing but he gave me the news in gentle way and suggested I have a drink while I wait for take out. The food was well seasoned and I even came back the next day for lunch before my flight. Its spots like this that remind me of home. It also shows that there a great businesses out there for the people and making sure you leave with joy in and out from your visit. The appetizers were very unique. The mac n cheese balls were my favorite!! Everything I ate was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to come back for more delicious food!!! Hats off to the chef! Thank you!
After visiting Jamaica last May, it's been tough finding authentic Jamaican food. Well, this evening I did just that. I ordered the jerk pork with rice & peas, it also came with some plantain. I would have given 6 stars if I could, the food tatsed incredible, authentic and it was packed with flavour. The service from our waitress was also incredible, kind, friendly, professional and very welcoming. Thank you for creating such a humble experience for me and my family.
Went with some friends and the service and food was top standard. I especially loved the cassava chips and jerk wings My friends and i decided to share starters instead of getting a full meal each and it Was a great choice - great variety of food and again delicious, and only came to 30£ each , even with a drink each (i got the rumgria and it was Fantastic, but my friend got a mojito and the mint really came through and my other friend got a drink with pineapple and that was delicious too) The bathrooms were also really nice
I had a fantastic time here with my friends! We arrived a bit early, but the restaurant quickly filled up, creating a lively, buzzing atmosphere with great tunes. While it got a bit loud as it got busy, the music and energy only added to the vibe without being too overwhelming. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted—possibly by the owner, who was lovely and welcoming, setting the tone for the whole evening. The staff were equally friendly and attentive; our waitress made sure we were well taken care of. The food was deliciously spicy, just as you'd expect from authentic Jamaican cuisine, and the portions were generous—definitely great value for money! If your spice tolerance is on the lower side, I'd recommend the Jerk Salmon. Our lovely waitress suggested it and offered to have the spicy sauce served on the side, which was perfect. It was my first time trying Jamaican food, and I’m already looking forward to the next visit. I highly recommend Lepetite Jamaica to anyone looking for a flavorful, fun dining experience. Thank you for an amazing evening!
I had high expectations for visiting Mapetite CAMDEN and was let down majorly. Firstly I live in south London so it was quite the journey for me, especially when going out, which I don’t very often. The service was slow as there was only one person serving 4/5 tables. You had to wait ages to order food and drinks. This let down the experience entirely and the restaurant wasn’t even at full capacity. Secondly, as a pescatarian a few fish options were unavailable to order (Escovitch fish, peppered shrimps - which I wanted, no burgers or wraps either) another major let down, so I resulted to ordering starters. The server wasn’t informative either, didn’t ask if I had any allergies to be made aware of. Also didn’t make us aware that the restaurant had a promotion of 25% off, only saw that after we left. I had the lobster mac and cheese which had more mac and cheese than lobster/crayfish, it was dry and disappointing. There were only 2 sauces to have with my order, ketchup or mayo, again disappointing. I expect that at a fish & chip shop or chicken & chip shop, not a restaurant charging higher prices. My friends had mains but they aren’t pescatarian and they were satisfied with their meals. I ordered a lemonade and for £3 and it came in the tiniest glass tumbler - not great value for money. Therefore having to order another drink. I went to use the restroom and the first two cubicles had no toilet roll or hand wash. That’s not a great experience when you’re bursting to wee. The restrooms were clean though, so I’ll give you that. There was no where to dry your hands either. No hand paper towels or hand dryer. These things matter and shouldn’t be overlooked and checked before opening. Overall, I was displeased with my experience and will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to others.
