Food was great! Portions were larger than large as you can see, the jerk sauce offered is a nice combo with the food too

I was really looking forward to my food, due to hearing such great reviews, but I was disappointed, the jerk pork was so dry, no flavour and the rice was soggy. My partner brought this home and I ended up a little vex and not eating much. Always try and support my people's but this was not a good experience.

Finally went here yesterday after being recommended it by everyone in South London as the best jerk, and I wasn’t disappointed. The mixed lamb & chicken was delicious, hot and jerk sauce was just the right amount of heat. The two lads were lovely too. Absolutely faultless, defo my new go to jerk from now on!

Talk about a hidden gem. Categorically hands down the best jerk… maybe even takeaway I’ve ever eaten. Although it looks like it’s been subject to a recent arson attack, this only adds to the charm of Smokey Jerkys. £9 for a large, stop it. When I say large, expect to be comatosed for the next hour. I come here once a week and am never disappointed . Lovely people and lovely food - a south London institution. Don’t. Miss. Out.

The interior is minimal, and I don't mean in that Scandinavian way. It's a fuss free takeaway. I've heard rave reviews about the jerk lamb and I ordered it with the worry that they'd be out of it. Some places are like that, but I was in luck as the friendly lady smiled in recognition on my eagerness. I noticed they do a mixed meat combo, why not go for the jerk chicken as well I thought. I changed my order halfway through preparation and still she was most accommodating. I wonder why there are reviews where people moan about the lack of customer service at Caribbean eateries. I think it's a cultural perspective.A deep filled hot to touch foil container arrived on the counter with the choice of jerk sauce and pepper sauce. The lamb had layers of smokey flavour with each chewy mouthful. It was a winner and dare I say even out did the ever popular jerk chicken. The chunks of meat sat on bed of rice and peas with a salad tucked in the corner. The shreds of lettuce and wedge of both cucumber and tomato didn't add anything to the meal, instead I would have preferred coleslaw but I don't believe that had it. Price wise it was marginally dearer compared to other local places, however the food was great and so was the service. Don't miss that yellow pepper sauce!

Best jerk in SE London by far - and despite a lot of competition. The queue should tell you enough, but the wait is worth it. Big portions, fresh out the BBQ, with salad/peppers loaded on, all foil wrapped because the box is overflowing. The food is packed with taste, not tired, re-heated and dried out like some other places. Don't expect anything much in the shop, all the magic seems to happen out the back. The only bad bit is it's closed some days and ends up finishing early even when it is open. Food is the best though.

I cannot rave enough about the fantastic quality of Smokey Jerkey's food! It is simply the best and really delicious. The staff are also friendly and the prices are affordable and decent. The chicken, lamb and curry goat are my favourite with the rice and the sauces go excellent alongside. Craving it just writing about it, defo recommend!

The bark on their jerk is intense... tend to run out of stuff towards the end of the day and sometimes close early because of it.Update 2020, still best jerk for miles
