Chaconia restaurant in Deptford is named after the national flower of Trinidad and Tobago. The food here also hails from the Caribbean and there are lots of delicious flavours to try. The venue itself is simple and understated, leaving the friendly service and the food, freshly made with bags of care and pride, to shine.
On the Chaconia menu diners will find a range of classic Caribbean, and specifically Trinidadian, cuisine. There are rotis with a choice of fillings including chicken stew, goat curry and channa and alou. A variety of curries and stews along with delicious sides like macaronie pie, plantain and saltfish also feature. There's always a traditional soup of the day and pelau rice meals, a Trinidadian version of pilaf, most commonly recognised as rice and peas. Vegetarians will find plenty of options to choose from too.
Chaconia is located on Deptford High Street and easily reached by public transport.
