Baxfood Caribbean - Croydon

The food is always freshly prepared at this restaurant. I have to make a stop here whenever I am in the area.

The food at this restaurant was excellent. I ordered the brown stew chicken with vegetables and rice and peas. The only downside was that the bones were very small and brittle, and the chicken was quite fatty. However, the mac and cheese was amazing, and the plantain was delicious as well.

I frequently order takeout from this restaurant and I have to say, they serve the best Caribbean food. They never disappoint. Wishing a happy new year to all the staff!

My son ordered take-out food for the family which included a red peas soup. The soup looked as if they added water to the bottom of an empty pot and served, it tasted and looked nothing like authentic red peas soup. The boneless jerk chicken and rice and peas was spicy and lacked flavour and seasoning. Fried dumplings were greasy and tasteless. As a person of Jamaican heritage this is not authentic Caribbean food.

My first stop at Purley for food had to be BAXFOOD Caribbean because they had dumplings. You can choose Jerk meat or tofu mushroom as filling so I got the tofu mushroom as not many places offer that. Basically it was like a savoury donut sliced in half and filled with Jerk. It was really tasty with the tofu puffs and mushrooms but I found it quite spicy. The prices on the menu and inside seem to be different.
