Umana Yana is a beloved Guyanese restaurant in Southeast London, run by Debbie Monfries and her husband Junior.

For a decade-plus, they’ve been making fresh, authentic Caribbean food that’s up there with the best in all of London. But the last 12 years have been a struggle after massive telecom boxes were constructed right outside, damaging trade. Luckily, the community has rallied behind this independent business in its battle with the council, including one notable patron: @CentralCee. The rapper, who himself has Guyanese heritage, joins the Monfries family to learn about their fight, and how to make the delicious signature dishes worth fighting for.
