Ma Petite Jamaica Shoreditch

You're walking down Curtain Road in Shoreditch and suddenly the smell of scotch bonnets and allspice pulls you in. Ma Petite Jamaica doesn't mess about with fusion nonsense; it's the real thing. The kitchen knows what they're doing with jerk marinades, and the rice and peas arrives properly seasoned, not apologetic. Grab a seat, order something with heat, chase it with one of their rum punches, and watch the locals pile in because they've figured out this is where you actually come for Caribbean food that doesn't compromise.
