Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We shared a seafood platter, along with a side serving of plantain and mixed salad.
The platter can be shared by 2 people, or if you are particularly famished, can be happily managed by one person.
The quality was exceptional. Various fresh seafood and flavoursome salad. Special request for our plantain to be "well done" was spot on, we like them crispy This was all accompanied by a rum punch and sorrell drink.
Desserts were available and sounded very tempting, so we'll definitely indulge on our next visit.
The service was warm and friendly, with the chef Etta, reassuringly visible in the kitchen.
If you like seafood, Etta's seafood Kitchen is a cosy spot to visit.

Popped into Etta’s on a very chilly January night after seeing a show at Brixton House. Sat inside by heaters inside intimate space. Very friendly atmosphere night we visited chatting to other diners from around the world.
Live Caribbean food and Ettas brown fish stew was delicious. The vegetables in a super sauce with a little coconut flavour. Etta the chef said she likes to use coconut in her cooking.
Had a large rum punch also. Great end to a lovely evening.

If I could give it a higher rating I would! The food was even tastier than it sounded with extremely generous portions. The service and atmosphere was friendly and created a very homely environment, which made the food just that much better.

Amazing food experience!!! I think I’ve just died, gone to heaven and come back to tell the tail. What beautiful food. Ordered the Jamaican brown stewed red bream fish with rice n peas. The blend of herbs took me from Brixton to the Caribbean. Such gorgeous flavours and a hint of pepper that carried its own unique flavour. Thank you chef……

My wife and I were walking around the Brixton market looking for a lunch spot, when we had the pleasure of meeting the proprietor of this small but charming restaurant. Etta is a personable, engaging, inviting person, so we sat down and asked for some recommendations. She started us off with a homemade ginger beer that was true to its name - a bracing yet refreshing drink that got better with every sip. For our seafood dish, she suggested the seafood curry. It came with a lovely, fresh white fish, nice, large shrimp, tasty mussels, rice, some salad, and a delicious yellow sauce. Absolutely brilliant! We had come to Brixton for some Jerk Chicken, so we ordered it; even though Etta's is ostensibly a seafood restaurant. It was perfectly seasoned, home cooked, with a simple, lightly-dressed salad on the side. An absolute 10! I would come back to Etta's for the food, and also to chat with Etta again. If you're in Brixton, and looking for some excellent quality food, do yourself a favour and make a stop here!

Upon entering, I was instantly reminded of visiting a beloved family member. The saltfish fritters were absolutely outstanding—truly a 10/10. The brown stew fish and fried snapper were nothing short of amazing, each dish bursting with flavor. The sorrel and rum added a perfect touch, leaving me smiling with every sip. The combination of delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and engaging conversation made for an unforgettable experience. I will certainly be back!

We were recommended this place for good fish and chips, after 40 mins of waiting we got frozen chips from iceland and two small chunks of battered cod. the worst fish and chips ever tasted. The waitress was TERRIBLE with a huge attitude on her shoulders, looked at us with distaste when ordering. don't ask what is in the vegetarian dish the answer will be 'Vegetable' and a stare. Don't bother with this place, bad service, bad food, bad attitude. and not cheap.

Fantastic food (and wine) in a really welcoming and layed back atmosphere. The chef recommended dishes according to our preferences. - the fish and seafood is freshly made and yet you don't wait too long to eat. Service was great. - thank you for a wonderful evening.

My friend and I needed a nice freshly cooked to order meal and a comfortable place to enjoy our meal...so we chose Etta's. The setting was great, staff friendly and courteous and the meal was cooked to perfection!!🥰 I had a Snapper decorated with colourful steamed vegetables and a bit of boiled green bananas and yellow yam. My friend had Jamaican Salt Mackerel Run down (rundung). Both meals were scrumptiously delicious. Great job Etta's Seafood Kitchen!!

The small restaurant is very friendly. I ordered a sea food Lobster . No lobster tail available which was shown on the menu given a whole Lobster provided instead but had no meat in side the Lobster. The Ginger beer was home made and tasted great. 😂😂 The price paid for the Lobster is a 👎🏽.

Well….service friendly….all fish disappointedly from frozen packets. Calamari, a bit rubbery with no discerning spice. Salt fish fritters, ok, not quite enough fish and a slight undercooked floury texture and taste. Neither came quite hot enough. Scallop with lime dressing, tiny portion, mainly leaves, a little avocado and tomato. Scallops the size of 1p pieces- shocking value at £13.50!
Not quite sure if it’s changed hands since previous reviewers or we ordered the poorer dishes? Certainly not somewhere we would revisit.

Had a great night at Etta's. Kept the Carribean mood going after watching One Love at The Ritzy. The restaurant didn't let us down with great sea food and exotic flavours, not forgetting the rum punch! The whole vibe is more like entering a private house on the beach of one the islands and being looked after by friends - fab!

First time here and what a joy. Most portions aren't huge, but the food is delicious. I wanted to try a bit of everything so ordered the seafood platter, which is £26 with a glass of prosecco, not quite sure why but it does, and it was nice. The platter was great, and you get some ackee too and plantain. My wife and friend ordered the tuna and mussels which were both good but not huge portions. the mac and cheese were superb too.
100% we'll be back
