Great food!!! Speedy delivery services!!! Not too spicy jerk chicken!!! Curry goat is delicious!!! Stew chicken is amazing!!!
Top-notch food. This one of only two West Indian spots that I really rock with in Harlem. The meats are well cooked (tender, juicy, flavorful, spicy). The sides are also good, especially the yams. The portions are also very generous. Definitely recommend.
Food was so good and flavorful and was a big portion. I bought the stew chicken with rice and peas and plantains. It was ready on time and service was good, can't complain.
CONS 1. Oxtails was Tender but needs more Flavor and more Scotch Bonnet Flavor, (Distant Hot Kick) to Stand Out from all other Caribbean Restaurants. Don't be afraid of Bold Flavors. 2. Stew Chicken needs more Tenderness and Flavor.. 3. Cabbage needs more Flavor. Perhaps, adding Freshly Pureed Ginger to take it up a notch. PROS 1. Jerk Chicken looked Delicious and it was Everything I Expected it to be Spicy, Tender, Juicy and Crispy! Ugh! Wow! Better than JamRock Jerk Food Truck and they do it right. 2. Rice and Peas was Cooked Well but needs more Coconut Flavor. 3. White Rice was Cooked Well. 4. Curry Chicken was good. 5. Friendly Staff
Venue Mama's is a pretty small venue. Not too many people can pack in at one time, but things move quick so you won't be in there for long. There are some high tables in the front and back if you want to eat your food there but I'd recommend to go. Service Pleasant and quick. Everyone is courteous and accommodating with the orders. Can't really ask for more then that with a restaurant of that size Food Probably some of the best Jamaican food that you're going to get in that area (maybe even in the borough). The jerk chicken, stew pork, ackee and saltfish, jerk pork, THE CHICKEN PATTIES!...all legit! And with the array of menu items that are all good in their own right, of course the oxtails reign supreme! Tons of sauce, not a lot of fat, and they really pack it in there! The cabbage is a little weak though but otherwise no complaints. Misc. Mama's is the quintessential Jamaican food grab and go spot. Beware though...if you get there too late some of your favorites may be gone.
My Husband loved the food ...it is really good I will be take my family back here to eat. I will be trying there porridge very soon. Best Jamaica food in the area
Honey, I love my West Indian food and will travel far to some good grub. I am usually in this area for job trainings and got tired of the lunch spots I was always going to when in the area. I checked Yelp for some Caribbean food and found this spot. Lo and behold they have lunch specials, woo hoo! Staff are always pleasant and work fast to keep the lines moving because it can get busy around lunch time. On my first visit I ordered the $5 curry chicken lunch special with rice and peas and plantains and it had the nerve to come with a cheap can of pineapple soda. Honey, I was balling for $5, LOL. I ventured there a 2nd time and this time ordered the brown stew chicken. I am surprised that both visits ended with a very satisfied belly, The lunch portion is sufficient enough to hit the spot until dinner and very affordable. The small venue is more of a take out spot but there a few chairs and tables for you to feast on your meal if needed. I am looking forward to my next visit so I can check out those oxtails which arent on the lunch special menu so it better be good! LOL
