Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest — your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Portobello Shack is your go-to for authentic Caribbean vibes, but don’t let the 5-star hygiene score fool you—it’s a mixed bag. With raving reviews about the jerk chicken and curry goat, you’d think you’d be in foodie heaven, but then you hear about the cleanliness issues. Eugenia Cezar loves the curried goat, but others have had less-than-stellar experiences, highlighting some serious service and food quality inconsistencies.
If you’re craving Caribbean, it’s worth a visit, provided you’re cool with potential service hiccups. The flavors are there, but you might just have to roll with the punches for a proper experience. If you get a good day, it could be brilliant; if not, well, let’s just say it’s a gamble.
"The curried Goat lunch box offer and it was very tasty."
"Banging jerk chicken and friendly staff."
"If you’re searching for your Jamaican food fix, this is it."
