Restaurant Review: 2210 by Natty Can Cook Embodies Caribbean Culture in Style

A trip to south-east London's Herne Hill proved that even the most fashionable athleisure wear was woefully inadequate for the upscale Caribbean restaurant, 2210 by Natty Can Cook. Chef Nathaniel Mortley's vision is not just about serving jerk chicken at fancy prices but a celebration of Caribbean culture in style.

From its idyllic setting to its elegant presentation and refined flavors, 2210's culinary journey offers an immersive experience that transcends the familiar fare. The chef's background in working at prominent establishments such as Jason Atherton's City Social and Oblix laid a solid foundation for his rise to this milestone, where he now holds court at Brixton HMP's charity-run restaurant, The Clink.

A recent visit revealed an unapologetic commitment to showcasing the Caribbean experience. Each dish that passed my table showcased impeccable attention to detail: the 'Crispy Beast' ackee and saltfish spring roll was a harmonious balance of rich fish and velvety scotch bonnet sauce, while a lamb belly skewer was adorned with an enticing masala reduction and tomato concasse.

The menu boasts several standouts, including seared pimento duck breast that paired beautifully with confit duck leg croquette and pumpkin puree. However, it is worth noting that the price point – £50 per head for three courses à la carte – may prove prohibitive for many. Nonetheless, this unassuming eatery offers undeniable charm and value.

While 2210 by Natty Can Cook does not shy away from its luxurious ambitions, it remains authentic in its pursuit of culinary excellence. A dining experience that leaves you craving more than just posh jerk chicken at fancy prices, but one that genuinely embodies the essence of Caribbean culture.

I'm telling ya, this place 2210 by Natty Can Cook is giving me all these VHS tapes memories of my uni days when we used to hit up those cheap Caribbean joints in East London. The ambiance is straight fire 🔥 and it's like they took a page from the '90s hip-hop era when everything was all about that island vibe. The menu has got some sick dishes, I mean who wouldn't want jerk chicken and ackee at £50? But yeah, the prices are a bit steep even for a foodie like me. Still, it's cool to see Caribbean culture being celebrated in style 🕺. Reminds me of when my cousin used to take me to those fancy restaurants in Notting Hill back in the day.

The attention to detail is insane - from the crispy spring roll to the lamb belly skewer, every dish is like a work of art 🎨.

omg u gotta try 2210 by Natty Can Cook!!!! 🤩 they got this amazin ackee and saltfish spring roll thingy that's literally to die for 🤤 i mean idk how they do it but the flavors just pop 💥 and the presentation is SO on point 💁‍♀️ i went there last week and spent like £50 per head (yeah its pricey lol) but trust me its worth it!!! 👍 the chef is a genius & the vibes in that restaurant are soooo good 🌴👌
 
I gotta say, £50 per head for 3 courses? That's like, a whole day's worth of groceries for most people 🤑🤯. I mean, I get it, upscale restaurants are gonna cost more than your average fast food joint, but come on! If they're gonna serve that good jerk chicken and pimento duck breast, they should be willing to knock off a few quid from the price tag. That being said, I did love the vibe of this place - it was like stepping into a tropical paradise 🌴👍. The chef's attention to detail is insane, and the portions are huge! But yeah, let's be real, that price point might be a bit out of reach for most people's budgets 💸.
 
Omg did u read that review of 2210 by Natty Can Cook?? 🤯 I'm totally down for trying it out tho! £50 per head is a bit steep tho... maybe they should do a 'caribbean night' or something to make it more affordable 😂. Anyways, love how the chef is all about showcasing caribbean culture and making it luxurious and fancy 💁‍♀️🍴
 
You know, I was thinking about 2210 by Natty Can Cook and how it's not just a restaurant, but an experience 🤔. It's like what happens when you go to a friend's house for dinner – you don't just sit down for food, you're in their space, surrounded by who they are and where they come from. The chef is sharing his culture with us, and that's beautiful ❤️. And yeah, it might be pricey, but sometimes you gotta splurge and invest in something special 💸... life's not all about the wallet, it's about the memories we make 📚.
 
just had dinner there 🍴 and gotta say, 2210 by Natty Can Cook really delivered on the Caribbean vibes 🌴💃 the atmosphere was fire 🔥 and the food? wow, those jerk chicken flavors were straight outta Jamaica 🇯🇲 can't wait to come back and try more of the menu 👍
 
I'm totally loving this restaurant 2210 by Natty Can Cook 🤩, I mean, who wouldn't want to try that Crispy Beast ackee and saltfish spring roll? 🤤 But, wait a minute... £50 per head for three courses à la carte is kinda steep, innit? 💸 I mean, I know the chef's got skills and all, but can't we just have some more options at different price points? 🤔

On the other hand, I think it's totally reasonable to pay that amount if you're gonna get an experience like this – the ambiance is so chill and relaxed, and the service is top-notch. Plus, Natty Can Cook is all about celebrating Caribbean culture, which is amazing. So, maybe it's not just about the prices, but about what you're getting for your money? 🤑

I'm still kinda unsure about the whole thing... I mean, I loved some of the dishes, but others were just okay. And those lamb belly skewers did look pretty, but was that really worth £20 a pop? 🤷‍♀️ Ugh, my mind's made up – I want to go back and try it again! 😂
 
🤔 I reckon 2210 by Natty Can Cook is doin' somethin' right! The whole vibe of this place is spot on – from the decor to the grub, it's like bein' in the Caribbean without leavin' south-east London 🌴. Now, I know £50 a head might seem steep for some, but trust me, the quality and attention to detail are top-notch. It's not just about the jerk chicken, it's an experience that'll leave you feelin' like you're part of the culture 🎉. And hey, if you can swing it, go for it! You won't regret it 😊.
