Highly recommended... if you can secure a booking

On Friday evening, we booked a table at Brian Lara Rum Eatery in Linden, as it had been recommended. What a hidden gem! As we walked in, we were greeted by the Manager, Lilian, who showed us to our table. As soon as we walked in, we noticed that the atmosphere and vibe were great! It was full, and everyone in there was chatting and seemed to be having a great time. Lilian was professional and friendly, and we immediately felt at home. I couldn't decide what to have, as more than one dish appealed to me. While we were deciding on what food to order, the drinks arrived, including a couple of ****tails. The ****tails were well prices, and generous servings... most importantly, they were delicious! Daniel, our waiter (and I apologise if I got his name wrong), came over to take our food order. As I could decide what to have, I asked him to recommend something. Normally, when I ask this, the responses received is usually "Everything is good". Daniel asked my preferences in food, and I explained that I am not very good with spice. Based on this, he recommended 3 different dishes... one being the Mussels, and the way he described them made my father change his mind from the fish to the mussels. I decided to have the squid, and I asked for it with chips and coleslaw. Daniel looked at me as if what I just asked for was wrong, and began trying to politely suggest another meal. I said to him that he should order for me, and I would eat whatever he brought. By this point, I think he felt a bit under pressure, but knowing how good the food is, I am sure he was confident! I got the Rump with seasoned veggies, and it was incredible. The rump was served medium rare, with jerk spice and a pepper sauce, and it melted in your mouth. The veggies were served to perfection, not over cooked, still with some crunch and a delicious flavour. And to top it all off, the prices were so reasonable!

We were all blown away by this incredible experience! Thank you to Lilian and her team because you made our evening a memorable one. We will most certainly be back!
