This is my second visit to RapChar & it did not disappoint. Food was on point, tasty, flavoursome & not skimpy on portion size. Rum punch was almost as good as home made, in other words tasty & not diluted with too much ice. Also music level was just right so there was not need to shout or ask for it to be turned down.

Absolutely AMAZING!!! Loved every bit of the experience because that’s what it was, an experience of ambiance and cuisines and beautifully aura’s staff. Just magical every moment!! The food was presented and displayed so artistically, the flavours were there with every single dish. Everytime a fish came we were lost for words. A truly amazing experience, definitely will be back!

Went to Rapchar yesterday with my friends for my birthday and I will say this place need to hype up and known as it had amazing food and drinks. The food was freshly made and was cook to perfection. It is a small resturant but it feel charming and intimate. Great music even he put soca on for me and I had a lil dance on my seat whilst waiting for the food. The weekday is quiet and as I heard weekend is busy but I like it quiet as it felt calm and feel it for yourself. They have food for each food requirement as i am pescatarian, my friend a mear eater and other vegan . So that was great. My favourite food was all as I can't choose and I got a free drink cause it was my birthday. The lady (can't remember her name)and the owner/chef was amazing. I would definitely would go again and try the other meal. Will recommend.

One of the best Caribbean restaurants I've ever eaten in. Taking Caribbean food to another level. Great tasting food beautifully presented and served with a fine selection of reggae and soca music. The rum punch was delicious and very generous on the rum! A hidden treasure more suited to a central London location. Would definitely recommend.

The starter was delicious full of flavour, presentation was lovely also. My main was jerk chicken, which was delicious, the portion was huge, I had to take some home. My partner had 2 rum punch cocktails and sea bass with prawns which he enjoyed. We didn't have to wait long for our courses. overall rating 10/10.

Where do I start? First of Raymond (owner& chef) is fantastic, the host with the most and delivers the most flavoursome food you can imagine! Raymond takes classic Caribbean dishes and refines them to be more modern. Flavours are out of this world and presentation is absolutely astounding. I was blown away with the food and drinks so much I went back a second time and it was not a fluke everything he delivered again was just so great! It is very hard to go out and find nice authentic Caribbean food, so when you do you cant help but rave about it. The quality of the food that comes out of his kitchen is impeccable, you can see that he loves what he's doing and you can taste it because everything is just ughhhh fantastic!!! Will 100% recommend people to go down and have a try because its great value for money, the intimate aesthetic, the great vibes from the staff and the portions are more than enough! You will leave with your heart and your belly full!

The food here is so good! Lovely restaurant, this is my second time and I will go back again. Raymond the chef is very passionate and very welcoming. He came out of the kitchen to say hi and other people having dinner started to compliment him. If you are in Brixton and fancy some Caribbean food at its best , then stop here! Highly recommended

What a great way to spend a final night in London. The food was as wonderful as it was presented. Chef Raymond greeted my party, and even remembered me calling to reschedule my reservation due to a flight change. I will certainly be back there on my next trip in October.

Put simply, this is not just the best Caribbean restaurant in Brixton - it's the best restaurant in all of Brixton. I've lived here for 23 years and I have never had such good food. Utterly amazing. Don't miss it!

My most favourite restaurant of 2023! I've visited twice now and have recommended to everyone I know. Had the Jam Rock Snap. A delicious feast on a plate! Snapper packed with flavour and perfectly cooked vegetables. The sauce is divine. So much so that the first time we went, we asked for some to accompany our extra serving of light and fluffy festivals. The rice and peas is like none I've had before. To top it all off, Chef Raymond came out on both occasions to greet our table and others. A personal touch to meet the man behind the feast we were enjoying! In a nutshell: visit RapChar. You won't look back.

The food was extremely tasty - full of flavour and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is intimate and cosy and very nicely laid out. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful and the chef (who came out to speak to us) is top notch. I thoroughly recommend a visit to check it out. Excellent.
