Reviews Overview

Most Liked

One amazingly liked feature is the range of dishes, particularly the rasta pasta, which has gained a loyal following. Diners rave about the seafood boil, with fresh crabs and lobster tail cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, ensuring value for money, especially considering the average price of around $10.03 a plate. The restaurant’s halal options are another crowd-pleaser, attracting a diverse clientele. The staff’s friendliness consistently shines, making visitors feel welcomed and appreciated. Many reviews highlight the vibrant atmosphere, often buzzing with laughter and conversation, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Most Disliked

A few customers have noted that the seating arrangements can get a bit cramped during peak hours, making it less comfortable for larger groups. Some diners wish for a more extensive drinks menu, especially when it comes to cocktails. A handful of guests mentioned delays during busy periods, which can frustrate those eager to dive into their meals. Additionally, while parking is generally abundant, some visitors have found it challenging during super busy times, suggesting arriving a bit early to secure a spot. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall feedback remains overwhelmingly positive, with patrons excited to return.

Came here because we were at the water park down the road and needed somewhere to eat. The restaurant there is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Sweet 1ne had the highest ratings in the area, for good reason. Very tasty food, and very friendly staff. Even the gym guy was very friendly (it's inside the gym). Highly recommend!

Found this place on instagram. Friendly owner and staff. Menu has a really great range of food to choose from and a delight that it is all halal. I decided to go with the chef special as that what caught my eye. Was packed full of flavour and every aspect of the dish had a slight kick and warmth to it, which I loved. Rasta Pasta definitely nailed it. My son also loved this dish and he’s a very picky eater. Will try the lobster in the future. I very highly recommend this place if you like Caribbean/Soul food.

I went with the family on Sunday and we all had a good time. We’ve previously had the Rasta pasta dishes which is a hit so thought to try something new. We had the seafood boil, chicken wings with jollof, oxtail with boiled rice and lamb chops with jollof rice. Food was full of flavour, the kids enjoyed it and the portions were huge! Definitely recommend!!!

Had the chef special - it was sooo tasty. Jerk chicken, prawns, sausage and pasta all so flavourful and very generous portion. God knows my kitchen will not be used anymore because Sweet1ne is round the corner 😁
