“ I went in the day the service was amazing. saulo was great. The food was really good that lamb starter I needed more and will be back. The plantain was done to perfection. Loved the cassava fries. I’m coming back to try everything on the menu. The chickpeas with my lamb was really good. So much so my friends were picking off my plate. That fruit punch yeah. Jeeez. ”
“ I went here for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. The food was delicious, plentiful but well presented. Really nice ways of turning classic Caribbean and African staples into modern classics. The service was 10/10. Just one guy serving but everyone was well looked after and we never had to wait long for anything. And an excellent cocktail maker too!! The tables are a tad small and I think the space could do with making more comfortable for a sit down dinner but I honestly can’t wait to go back. ”
“ Loved the Sunday roast at 139 Fika, had the chicken option and it was perfect, tender and tasty plus the portions were generous, the vegetables and roast potatoes were on the side. I also had a mocktail accompany my meal and I loved it as well. Highly recommend the Sunday roast there ”
“ Such a lovely, relaxed vibe and the food was delicious. I had the ackee scramble, which was a fantastic and arguably more nutritious alternative to a standard egg/avocado on toast that was also a work of art on a plate. Can't wait for it to be warm enough to enjoy the garden but will be back soon either way. ”
“ I took my friend for a birthday lunch and we both really enjoyed the food, the servers were friendly and provided an overall good service. Defo recommend a visit ”
