Caribbean Market


Ahmed is Turkish but specialises in Caribbean food. Fresh yam, mangoes, green plantain, breadfruit and coconut water are some of his most popular produce. Like so many of the shops on Chatsworth Road he is open seven days a week (8am–9pm), 365 days a year, including Christmas Day. Ahmed's cat, Lucy,who can often be seen sentinel outside his shop, is famous in her own right and has even been 'cat papped'. Since Hackney Council told Ahmed that Lucy was no longer allowed to be in the shop, she lives around the corner, but visits often.
