Limin' in Jalalabad

Visited this delightful restaurant which originated as a ‘pop up’ in Spitalfields over a year ago which was to be temporary. The food was amazing, from the polouri balls as starter to the doubles and finger-licking chicken wings, and their signature rumpunch!Limin’ recently moved to Gabriel’s Wharf and their menu is even more enticing and delicious. During this pandemic and over Christmas, Sham and his team have been able to keep their customers happy by providing a home delivery service. No distance was too far and out of reach!An order of Trini pastelles to surprise my mother on her birthday in early December was delivered promptly (beautifully boxed and wrappedand enjoyed with a surprise bottle of ponche creme. For my birthday a delicious delivery of doubles (with all the condimentscurry chicken and rumpunch! Not only were they delicious, my son who never really understood the hype made about doubles could not get enough! Goes without saying that we had our Trini comforts and was fortunate enough to have had a supply to last through to the New Year. There will be a repeat order at Christmas ‘21 for sure!Sham is continually striving to make his clientele happy with an ever evolving tasty menu, and offering a wonderful personal service which is second to none.Cannot wait to see what he has planned to see us through 2021. Even though we are in a pandemic his foresight and determination is admirable.Visiting this restaurant is a must when it is safe to do so, Sham and his team will give you a memorable experience of the Trinidad cuisine and culture. Enjoy, we certainly will!

Had a fab time, thoroughly enjoyed the vibes and food. Looking forward to the crab & dumpling return to the menu. xx

I love what they’re doing. Street stalls and a restaurant. Great to see Caribbean food stepping out of the suburbs

Winning food and RUM!! Just wish I could remember more of it! 😂🌈🥃

Fantastic little place with amazingly tasty food and punchy rum cocktails. Highly recommend!

Top quality Trini food!

Great selection of rum from all over the world and a lively carebean atmosphere

Great times...and food...Fantastic atmosphere ....the best of friends😊😊

Doubles! Rum punch!

Poor service, had to sit ourselves. Was ignored for 15 minutes then got ourselves menus from another table. Another 10 mins for anyone to come over to take drink order, had to go inside ourselves. Drinks overpriced. Automatically add service charge which we had to have removed.

No toilet.Nothing to wash your hands with.Asked if we wanted a strong rum punch which cost an extra £10, which we wasn’t told about.Food was mediocre.Service was awful.

I am so pleased that someone in the UK has finally created a fabulous Trini restaurant its honestly superb food. I would highly recommend.

The beer was hot

This place is the BEST. My husband is a Trini and is so happy to see doubles and roti represented so well! Also the rum punch is to die for!

Woooooiiiiii. Its the kinda spot you need to go toooo atleast once a week.Food is filling!!! So be careful whatchu order unless you want your belt in your bagggChips were to die for. Plaintain balls. Sham. Service. Everything is perfect.Cannot wait for their next spot. (Its not on its way)

-Food was too expensive-Portion size very small-Not authentic enough

First timer at this venue which was a special occasion and atmosphere was lively and friendly. One WC is an issue but wouldnt put me off coming again. Need to visit again to sample cuisine and build on experience.

Okay, really nice quaint bar/restaurant. Food was well worth the visit and so was the rhum ( Chairmans Reserve🇱🇨).The owner, Sham greeted everyone and mingled with the crowd.Go visit and enjoy Limin Trini style.Well done, nice place Sham and team, youve done something good here and in the lovely Old Spitalfields Market 🙌

All the ingredients for a fun night, under one roof. Great music, vibe, service and the best rum punch. The food is also divine, try the curry goat roti or pelau and always have the doubles (best street food in London). Sham, the owner, is the life of the party, friendly and a passionate culture ambassador.

Great atmosphere fantastic food and cocktails to die for!

Fair size portion to cost ratio, great array of rums, nice cocktails and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely as ever!!😁

What a great little hidden gem!! If you are looking for a Carribbean experience or just want to have a good time its a must visit!!!Awesome selection of rums and the hospitality is out of this world!!Thanks Paulo and the Limin team!!!!!

Happened to pass by during a stroll around Spitalfields market, so thought wed give it a go.We must have caught it on a bad day; the place looked fairly packed but they struggled to get around people, and an issue with the kitchen downstairs meant they had to close their toilets. Nonetheless, we ordered BBQ chicken and jumbo chicken wings with Chinese chips and a couple of beers, and after a bit the waitress reappeared to tell us they were out of chicken wings.Soon after, she revisited us to let us know they were also out of Chinese chips so we switched to the macaroni pie - then revisited us a third time to enquire what wed ordered (I didnt see the point of her wearing a tablet on her hand if it wasnt capturing this information).The chicken, when it arrived, was pretty tasty - a few battered and fried pieces coated in a sticky spicy sauce with a crisp salad, all served up in a polystyrene carton (which is pretty commonplace in the Caribbean- however, I found the macaroni oversweet and cloying for an accompaniment. For what what we paid, I didnt think it represented value for money.After the meal we sat and waited but nobody seemed interested in taking any further orders so we asked for the bill and left to continue eating elsewhere. Its a shame as I liked the chicken I ordered, but dont feel compelled to return if Im in the area - there are quite a number of other dining places under cover in the marketplace so Ill give something else a go next time.

Amazing food - reasonably priced. great selection of rum, deliciously dangerous cocktails. After my first visit - I gotta be a regular

The best food in the market. The chicken dishes are so soft and succulent. The sauce is really "finger licking good" for the wings. Had a roti that hit the spot. "Belly full". Atmosphere is so chilled. Great music and a charismatic host from Trinidad kept the entertainment enjoyable. Another visit is a must.

I got the Chicken Pelau, which tasted fab. Full disclosure: I only paid £1 for it through the Ritual app.The the main dish was great and the portion size was good too, but the salad on the side was a bit lacking. Unfortunately I dont think itd be worth the £11 price tag so probably wont be returning but it was still a good meal. Staff were a little frazzled during the lunch rush but maybe theyre just not used to the extra customers from the Ritual app.

Fantastic vibe.

Authentic trini lime... Owner very accommodating and friendly... Recommended to everyone

Awesome vibe, delicious food and one of the finest collections of rums in London. Check it out!

Food away from home, will return when my cravings come back for doubles and roti.

Authentic trini food. Have been numerous times and the food is always excellent! Doubles are fantastic 🇹🇹

Food was very good excellent service from the manager . Try thebtime punch wicked. Well worth the visit

Im from the Caribbean and the service and food is amongst the very best Ive experienced in more than 20 years of living in the UK. Truly authentic and an unforgettable meal for all the right reasons. I will definitely return to try more options from a really great menu! Sham, you and your friendly staff are amazing. The food was on point.xxxx

This place is incredible! The staff are fun, polite and presentable in how they dress. The vibes are truly magnetic with the choice of music. If you like soca and Caribbean vibes, this is your place. The drinks are crafted effortlessly and they are truly of high quality and taste great. The food. Omg the food, mouth watering wings and other tastey dishes. I will be back! Its nice to see locals and native Caribs in the same place.

Amazing food and a great owner! It was really nice to get to eat their!

The food is absolutely wonderful, tasty and authentic. I have taken all my family and friends here already because its worth a repeated visit. The choice of rums and sorrel drinks are of top quality and the calypso music in the background, takes you away to a bit of paradise. Highly recommended.

Glad to have stumbled across this fabulous joint after hosting a party in Spitalfields. Laid back and relaxed yet just about upbeat and jolly without being too loud or mad! Perfect place to hang out with friends. Im glad this place opened up in our neighbourhood ! If youre in or around London Liverpool Street station, do drop in to this place. Also perfect for a drink after shopping in Spitalfields market! Owner Sham is warm & welcoming. Kudos to Paolo the bartender and of course everyobe who made this visit so pleasant!

Excellent new venue bringing the best of West Indian food to East London. The lunch menu is simple but covers all the bases. The doubles alone are worth travelling for. Looking forward to a chance to try the evening menu when the full range of Creole Chinese and Indian influences are available. Its rare that I give 5 stars, even rarer that 5 stars doesnt seem enough.

The best way to discover Trinidadian food in London. A very authentic experience, whether its Creole, Indian or Chinese inspired dishes! Service is on point, extremely welcoming and drinks are great!

Unbelievable food and great service!

An authentic & immersive Trin-bago culinary & cultural experience.
