Mayelin Cruz Mejias

Hello, I'm Mayelin! I am a professional chef, born, raised and trained in Cuba. My aim is to bring the fantastic tastes of Cuban food to you.

I absolutely love the food of Cuba, and cannot understand why it is not more readily available here in London. I'm sure that you will fall in love with the rich flavours and textures of my homeland as much as I did as a child, and I really look forward to sharing it with you.

Cuban food seems to have a combination of Spanish, African and Caribbean flavours, due to the many different nationalities that have flowed through Cuba's ports over the years. It is quite similar to Caribbean cooking, except not so spicy!

Please note that the main dishes all come with plain steamed rice and salad, as standard. I've offered variations on these sides in my 'side dishes' section, just in case you want to be more adventurous!

We have added a lovely dish for 2 which is normally available on Saturdays. This will need to be ordered in advance as it needs to be purchased and cooked slowly.

All dishes are cooked fresh, as I believe this is when it tastes best. You can be assured that no corners will be cut.

Please do take a look at my menu and please select the dishes you desire. I will then ensure that you receive a dish that you'll want to order again and again!
