Don't miss the hearty Oxtail stew, a personal favorite praised for its generous portions and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

For a true tasting journey, indulge in the “Patty and...” combinations, like Patty and Coco Bread or Patty and Fried Plantain, which perfectly marry crispy, flaky pastry with sweet, caramelized plantains or soft coco bread. The Sweet Potato Wedges and Fried Dumplings make delightful sides, offering a satisfying contrast in both texture and flavor. Accompany your meal with tropical drinks such as fresh orange juice or the refreshing, creamy soursop, or enjoy a classic Caribbean lager like Red Stripe — a perfect complement to the bold tastes on your plate.

What truly elevates the dining experience at Ting n Ting is the caring and infectious hospitality of Garfield, the proprietor and chef, whose warmth fills the space alongside the upbeat soca music playing in the background. The atmosphere is inviting and joyful, evoking feelings of family and celebration. Diners frequently remark on feeling right at home, with this sense of connection making every visit memorable.

Reviews from guests echo this sentiment: “Just had the most delicious oxtail meal here! Portion was great value for money and Garfield made the whole experience wonderful with sweet soca music in the background!” shares Am Oke, while Charlotte L fondly recalls the friendly atmosphere where her son felt so welcomed that he eagerly anticipated every return visit. Jyk Wong highlights the rustic charm and generous hospitality, recommending the jerk chicken, peppered steak, fried snapper, and mutton curry as standout dishes.

The only mild critique comes from Ruth C, who applauds the jerk chicken as the best she’s tasted globally but suggests a minor improvement in staff dress code for enhanced hygiene. It’s worth noting that the quality and flavor consistently win raves, and loyal diner Vanessa continues to return despite noticing slightly smaller portions recently, drawn by the unbeatable combination of food, service, and convivial vibe.

Whether you’re craving the bold, smoky heat of jerk seasoning, the delicate sweetness of fried plantains, or an authentic taste of Caribbean street food in the heart of London, Ting n Ting promises a lively, authentic experience full of heart and flavor that invites you to linger, savor, and return time and again.
