The food was very very good, hands down the best roast ive had, cooked outside of my house.. But, they dont have enough staff to manage the capacity level. Mind you, I’ve only been on a Sunday.
When we arrived was served very quickly, but from that point on it wasn’t good at all, drinks took long to come out, then of course you can tell the food is being made from fresh; which is great, so that took a while understandable, but, no bread?? Nothing. then when we got our desserts was left to sit and watch it melt as the table was cleaned and no new cutlery given. Easy mistake to make.
All that being said the staff were lovely, problem was quickly rectified. The company on a whole is not the problem, just in need of more staff i think.

I came to visit after seeing a review on TikTok and was hesitant as a lot of tiktokers lie but for once THIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The food was sensational, there is not a single fault I have, the rice and peas, jerk chicken, vegetables, lamb - all seasoned to perfection. The rum punch was flavourful and the portion sizes were great value for money. I’m going to argue this is one of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in London in a very long time. A MUST VISIT - 10/10 - no notes

My experience at Rap Char was exciting. On entering the restaurant the smell of food being cooked was exciting for us and we just couldn't wait to see what was awaiting us on the menu. We were shown to our seats by a very pleasant young lady. We were given the menus and immediately went through the delicious sounding items. While we did that of course we had to have cocktails!

I was very impressed with the this restaurant and we will be returning very soon to take up where we left off.
My only gripe is that the restaurant is very small and we were almost sitting in each others lap but overall the food and ambience of the place may you immediately forgot. We all had a great foodie experience and will definitely be returning.
