Halal Reviews for Ayannas Canary Wharf

Visited recently with friends and absolutely loved it. The food, drinks, staff and ambiance was amazing. Everyone in our party was satisfied with their meal and were full by the end of the evening. Definitely reccomend people to go and try out this family run gem for any special occasion. I will be going back again no doubt.

A really classy and intimate restaurant with white tablecloths and lovely lamps that create a cosy and romantic atmosphere. The service could not have been better, thanks to an extraordinarily friendly lady who could not have made us feel any better. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was beautifully presented, sophisticated and had just the right amount of spiciness. Excellent space for a date or a lovely dinner with friends. Highly recommended.

Came for a family birthday celebration. Finding authentic Jamaican food with great service is a unicorn in London. From the moment we entered service was attentive. The portion sizes generous, the food well seasoned and balanced. The food was well presented and the cocktails were strong!

My partner and I were recommended to try this restaurant for my birthday yesterday.(6.8.25 Jamaica independence day. So glad we did! It was a great experience from the moment we walked through the door.The food was AMAZING, great taste, flavour, presentation. BTW my partner is fussy when it comes to food, especially being a fellow Jamaican who can cook, he found no fault and was complimentary from the moment he tasted his starter through to the desert. Service 10/10 Environment / atmosphere 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Will definitely be back. Thank you all for a fantastic evening.

I visited Ayanna’s with my family this evening and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Prior to booking I spoke with Sarah as my cousin has ASD with sensory concerns and my mum has specific dietary needs. She was reassuring and accommodating which put us at ease before we even arrived. The booking system online is simple with clear prompts for dietary requirements or special occasions and the deposit system is straightforward. On arrival we were greeted warmly and offered to check in our coats. We were seated promptly and shown how to access the menu via QR code. There was a small menu error but the team resolved it quickly and efficiently. The food was outstanding. Every dish arrived hot, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The stew chicken in particular was exceptional. It tasted just like my grandmother used to make with all the comfort of home cooking combined with restaurant quality. Each bite was a reminder of authentic Caribbean flavours. For dessert Sarah recommended the ginger cake and it was truly unforgettable. Soft and warm in texture with the heat of stem ginger perfectly balanced by a rich caramel sauce, it was one of the best desserts I have ever tasted. Ayanna’s is a family run restaurant and that love and care is felt in every aspect of the dining experience. From the service to the food everything is done with warmth and pride. Both my cousin and my sister, who can sometimes find dining out challenging, were very comfortable here. I would recommend Ayanna’s as an autism friendly restaurant. For those looking for a quieter setting the best days to visit are Tuesday and Wednesday. This remains our favourite spot for authentic, sophisticated yet down to earth Jamaican food. Highly recommended.
