"Sticky licky BBQ Beef short Ribs" / £15 from @guanabana_restaurant a fully halal restaurant in Camden .

Soft and tender BBQ Beef ribs that feel off the bone with minimal effort. The flavour was a little mild and subtle. There's not many places that do short ribs, there's Beef and Birds, Meat Co and Meat and Shake, do you know any other places? Please comment below so I can review them. .

All food is halal, no alcohol is served however customers are allowed to bring their own alcohol, which personally I find more obvious and off putting than restaurants that serve alcohol, because customers bring in loads of beer cans and wine bottles. .

I visited on Friday night, it was very busy, I was also given a few other menu items to try like the gravy train burger and the ox tail curry.. However I didn't really like the food. Really lacked flavour and authentic spice. My meal was complimentary.

@guanabana_restaurant The Island Roast was a nice alternative to a standard Sunday Roast, the meat was a little chewy but had subtle kicks of flavour. The vegetables were definitely the highlight, super crispy and charred. However the gravy was slightly watery for our liking.

The jerk chicken would have been nice with more sauce as it was slightly dry, but we enjoyed the smokey flavour and the Mac & Cheese was perfect, super cheesy and creamy. 

Food: 7/10

Guanabana Restaurant

Great food — so flavourful and well-seasoned! It was my first time trying a Caribbean-style Sunday Roast, and I absolutely loved it. The service was excellent and made us feel very welcome. The quality and portion sizes were amazing — we even took some home! I also tried the mango crumble with custard, and it was absolutely delicious 😋 I’ll definitely be back again!

Visited Guanabana recently and overall had a pleasant experience. The venue itself is lovely, spacious with plenty of seating, making it ideal for couples, groups of friends, or family outings.

The menu offers a good range of options. I started with the calamari and prawns, both were delicious, but the standout for me was the bread that came with the prawns. Honestly, phenomenal!

For my main, I ordered the half roast chicken. While the flavour was good, I had to return the dish due to feathers still being present on the chicken. The manager was understanding and quickly brought out a new one. She did explain that some of their chicken may naturally have feathers, which is fair, but personally, I prefer mine fully cleaned. Based on that, I’d rate the chicken roast 6/10.

Price-wise, it’s on the higher side, but the portion sizes are generous, so you do get value for money. Despite the minor issue, I’d still recommend trying it out, especially for the starters and the overall vibe.

There were 7 of us friends out for a meal. It was the first time eating here, I liked the reviews. The manager served our table as I have many allergies, he told me what I can and cannot eat. He got the kitchen to prepare me a fresh steak that would not be contaminated. The music was nice not too loud and everyone dining seemed to be enjoying. We all enjoyed our food and we would recommend. I even took a cheeky picture at the end with the decor

Amazing food at Guanabana! I had the oxtail butter bean stew and it was outstanding. The space is cozy (not very large), so reservations are a must. Parking is street only, and it’s BYOB if you want alcohol. Great vibes, warm service, and definitely worth it!

Me and my son came here to eat on Wednesday, lovely little restaurant, the staff were really friendly and helpful & the food was really nice and tasty, we had jerk chicken and mac & cheese, the chicken was very spicy and flavoursome, lovely atmosphere too.
Am looking forward to returning.
