Really cool experience. Food was reasonable priced and delicious. Very pleased at the amount of vegan options available. Highly recommend for vegans to visit. The atmosphere is calm is vibrant.

Had an AMAZING Delicious burger at Banana Jam. Caramelized Onion, Rocket and Camembert. The burger was juicy and thick and so yummy . The service was excellent and it’s always reggae vibes. They’ve been open for years , I lived in the area in 2008 and the quality hasn’t faltered , neither has their vibe and they have such great #vegan and #vegeterian options. Taps was out waiter and he was great. #HiddenGem in Kenilworth.

Good prices, good food, very professional staff. Had an amazing experience here and relived some memories from more then 10 years ago... I recommend the tasting tray for those wanting to try different beers... The Coconut IPA was WOW!

The Nashville Chicken burger with a pineapple ring is out of those world, always a great evening out at Banana Jam, attentive service, great value, cold beer and a very fair corkage charge.

So so awesome! Excellent friendly staff, service and cracking ambience!! The food and uniquely brewed IPAs were on another level of excellent. Had the jerk chick pasta (tastes10x better than the photo), poppers was sufficiently filled and so good, and the wings were great!!Staff informativley debriefed me on each beer/IPA brwered upstairs and that was very much appreciated as a good IPA is what I thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for having us will 100% return and highly reccomended

They have some really decent and well sized burgers here and if you have no idea what to have its a good fall back. Their cajun/Caribbean options are decent. I've had both their Jambalaya and Jerk chicken and can recommed both. The Jambalaya is modest in portion and uses local ingredients, so the chilli/spice profile is very simple but definitely not lacking flavour. I would definitely say go for the hot" option
