Gabe's Afro-Caribbean Food, Cake & Coffee

Gabe's for lunch (takeaway only). Get there early for full selection (slightly smaller menu on Sundays). Food is great - Jollof Rice, Jerk Chicken, Lamb / Chicken Curry and Oxtail (when he does it). The owner is great, good customer service and such a friendly guy. Food is always great when we go and always good to see Gabe. Never had a bad meal and is good to have him there serving his food to add variety of food options to the long week. Support local.

Tried this place by accident as the place around the corner was not open as advertised. Delighted I did. It's a food van in the shopping centre car park. The queue for lunch was reassuringly long, and with good reason; the food was tasty and generously portioned. Curry goat was lovely, as well as the jerk chicken. It was served with jollof rice rather than rice and peas but that made a nice change. Really nice Owner too. If I'm in the area will be sure to pay him a visit again

Gabe's is a firm favourite of our family. Excellent Jollof rice, jerk chicken and goat curry with generous portion sizes and always a warm welcome. Overall, a happy guy serves delicious food in a food truck in the Nugent car park.

Highly recommend. I had jollof rice with jerk chicken. The guy also gave us a small amount of curry goat to try. It was all gorgeous, the meat was so tender, and soo flavoursome. Also had a really nice heat to it. The guy who served us who I believe owns the business was really lovely aswel. It was £10 for one which we shared, well worth the money though as you get a decent portion with good quality food. I Highly recommend this place. Me and my partner will have to get this everytime we pass its too good!

Visited here yesterday just by coincidence, what a lovely guy and when I say the food was amazing it was! Jollof rice with chicken curry was banging, the coleslaw was out of this world and the chicken wings were spicy and fell off the bone, absolutely 10/10. Very generous portions too! We will definitely be back! Even got us an extra table so we could sit and enjoy our food ♥ Thank you!

Amazing food. Really friendly guy. Had jerk chicken with rice and peas and chicken curry with a coleslaw type accompaniment. Huge portion for £10. Authentic Caribbean flavours clearly prepared and served with love and enthusiasm. Will look forward to next time I'm passing.

Walked past and saw a big queue, jumped in and by God was it worth the wait, Had the Jollof rice with some curried chicken and some Jerk Chicken pieces. All of it was amazingly well seasoned, chicken fell of the bone and just melts in your mouth. Made my day, will definitely be stopping by when I come back! Michael (I believe that’s his name) is an absolute lovely guy, customer service is certainly not lacking. No pictures as the food did not hang around for long enough as I devoured it all!

Absolutely brilliant food that should be at a restaurant. So happy to finally find somewhere that does excellent quality Caribbean food that is genuine to how it should taste. Had the curry goat and was given some of the curry chicken to taste. Both had a lot of flavour and went great with the Jollof rice and slaw. Also got a portion of the jerk chicken wings and was surprised by how easy the meat came away from the bone. Thank you for getting the spice right, not like other places that serve bland food claiming to be Caribbean.

Can't wait to go back when I'm next at Nugent!

Absolutely fantastic food. Great portion size, lovely spices. £10 for lots of food. We had coffee too and wings, both of which were also very nice. The guy was really nice too

Great food, great prices and a very friendly owner. This is exactly how a business should be run. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area.

The man is a hero. Amazing curry goat and jerk chicken. Never would you expect such a feast in an Orpington car park. Came to buy cat toys from pets at home, will come back for Gabe's. Soundtrack also on point

Came here a few days ago, and the food is genuinely Michellin Star quality! Amazing quantity at a great price and a very very nice owner! Will definitely be back for more Jerk Chicken and Jollof! :)

Unreal food and Unreal service hit this place up if you are ever visiting or passing by or even if you just live in orpington

Lovely chai latte, amazing hot spiced apple, had non-dairy options for us, and the price was good too! We've come back twice for the amazing personal service and he made my week by playing Christmas music for me while I drank my spiced apple ❤

Will be coming back Friday for the lovely vegan treats that will be on offer!

You'd think a small coffee van in the middle of a retail park wouldnt be anything special nestled between a pret and a costa. However, this place is amazeballs. Great coffee. Awesome cakes and amazing Caribbean food all home made. The owner Mike is an absolute legend!

The guy is so kind and helpful trying his best to help his clients and the food is suberb. He also confirmed the chicken is halal. I will definitely come for the food again.

Absolutely amazing food always,jerk chicken and Jollof rice,peppered steak and curry chicken,cannot fault it!
Homemade cakes are so delicious too!
You have to try this place!

Hidden gem in St Mary Cray if you're looking for a delicious bite to eat at lunchtime for a good price. I recommend getting the curry goat or jerk chicken. Always service with a smile!

Absolutely recommend! Tender goat curry, spicy jerk chicken melting in your mouth, flavorful rice and fresh crunchy coleslaw.
