Very pleasant and lovely lady selling authentic Guyanese food, 10/10. Full of love and flavour. Everything tasted fresh and nice. I look forward to coming back here soon. My new fav roti spot! Hands down the best! You must try for yourself. Delicious! ”
“ I’ve had the curry goat rotis from Umana Yana a few times and each time it is delicious . The portion size fills you up perfectly and what I love the most is the amount of goat meat you get!! Many places I’ve been too hold back on how much meat they give but at Umana Yana , they really fill the rotis well. The couple that work there too are always so lovely , kind and smiley . I really recommend this place to everyone. ”
“ A great little family run roti shop near Brockwell park. The curries are flavourful with tender meat. One of the best examples of roti in London. Pricing is very reasonable. Definitely worth a trip to support this business. ”
“ I can only really rate this on the food and the service as I’ve only bought food to take away. The roti is amazing, the flavours in their curries is very authentic Guyanese food. The only thing I would suggest, is if you want something specific to call up and check if they have it before you make the journey. I do believe they have GF options but this would need to be checked. The restaurant is on a road that has permits so it driving it’s a hop in and hop out situation! ”
“ The owner is lovely and the food is delicious! I got two of their vegan roti wraps and they were amazing, the sorrel they have is proper sorrel not the water down stuff you find in other places. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic food not to be missed. Debbie and junior make delicious patties and roti too. Try out their homemade drinks they are healthy and nutritious.
