Jam Delish is an independent family-owned Caribbean vegan restaurant and cocktail bar in Angel, Islington. Founded in 2020 by siblings Jordan and Chyna, their idea was one that came purely from their desire to bring their grandparents authentic, traditional Caribbean recipes from their family home to the London food scene, with a fresh and modern take, inspired by their own upbringing in a vegan household. Fusing their love for plant-based food with their Caribbean roots, they identified a niche gap in the market for authentic, Modern Caribbean Vegan Cuisine. With five-star reviews across the board from both customers and food critics alike, the siblings have now opened their first ever flagship restaurant and cocktail bar in the heart of Angel, Islington.

The festivals were out of this world. They were soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside dusted with it tasted like cinnamon sugar and coconut. The sauce dip that came with it was also delicious not to peppery just right for someone who doesn't like pepper. I then had the crispy mushroom which came with mashed potatoe with peas soup on top and cabbage and a sauce on the side. It was delicious. I had the sorrel cocktail which was nice but I felt it was too sweet. All in all it was a great venue for myself and my son. I am still thinking about those festivals yummy. I will definitely return and recommend to others.

Gorgeous food, gorgeous cocktails, gorgeous decor - staff could be a little friendlier and toilets were a bit grim (freezing cold and very strong smell of damn) but overall lovely

The food is good. Only issue is it took 40 mins for starter/ small plate to come out. If I didn't pick up with one of the staff it may have taken even longer. Reason for delay was never communicated.

I have dined here several times before and food has been great. On this occasion the curry goat was not up to par and 3 of us had finished eating before the other 2 got their meals. Cocktails were great as usual but it was very noisy. I do still recommend as overall food is good.

Wonderful afternoon. The food was delicious, the atmosphere in the restaurant was business like but relaxed and welcoming. If only we could have stayed a bit longer to order some more good eats, with good conversation. Definitely will be back to revisit this lovely gourmet experience.
