We didn't know exactly what to expect at first, as this is a Jamaican / Polish fusion restaurant, which certainly seemed unique! Certain dishes lean one direction or another, but our table enjoyed both. For me, it was interesting to have a polish inspired appetizer and then a more Caribbean entree. Some standout dishes from the table (although everything was great): - The mushroom soup had a really deep umami flavor and was LOADED with mushrooms. Highly recommended - The jerk seasoned lamb chops were excellent and they gave a very good portion (true of all the dishes) - Panko crusted chicken cutlet - very simple, but perfectly done, crispy and moist I would also note that they put a lot of thought into the kids menu as well, with items like grilled shrimp in addition to the standard kids fare. All the kids found something they were happy with, and of course they'll never turn down a good Shirley Temple! Note that this is a BYOB so pick up something on the way. We will definitely make a trip to return and excited to add such a unique new restaurant to the area and to the rotation!

From stepping inside, you're given the allure of entering someone's home but greeted with a minimalistic, modern restaurant atmosphere. Service was A+ and the food even better! We ordered the garlic naan, chicken tikka masala (spicy) and lamb vindaloo (spicy) - all were stellar! The masala almost tasted like vodka sauce which was a first for me and I'm NOT complaining. Some of the best I've ever had, to be honest. Will be going back, for sure.

Cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful restaurant. This is the type of establishment that…read morereminds you of the good old days. The customer service is a time capsule of an era where a business strived to make your visit special and memorable with quality food and great service and not by some trend or gimmick. One thing that is not in the past is their skilled ability to provide a safe meal for those who are vegan, gluten free and or dairy free. I've never been to a restaurant that can turnout amazing authentic Italian food made with regular flour while also being able to provide a safe gluten free and or dairy free alternative of the same caliber. They have an efficient system that makes it clear there are people with dietary restrictions at the table and they take it very seriously. With all those great things to say, the food is what is worth writing home about. A gluten free chicken Parmesan that no one would ever guess was gf! A delicious gf df chocolate lava cake to end the meal was such a treat and was delicious. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and attentive, they're a well oiled machine! And it was very nice for the grandson of the original founders to walk around and talk to us, not just a how is everything tonight kind of stop either, he really took the time to make pleasant conversation about the World Cup and ask how our son did at his soccer tournament. They have been around for 56 years and if our visit was anything to go off, they'll be around for another 100 years!

Another review from a poor man. I will give this to you…read moreas the good and the bad and the overall of Mama's. The good. The staff is as attentive as they have always been. The way they show pictures of "today's specials" on an iPad type device is a nice touch. The meatball app had good flavor as well as the ricotta that came with it. The fiancé had the pear purse which is always a very good. Also the Eggplant Pisa salad that came with my lunch paring was very very good and I would eat it again!!! The bad. The meatball app, although tasty, was only two small meatballs (basically the size of a soup spoon!!) for 15 bucks. So I don't care for the cost compared to the value you get for it. Also I am a snob for chicken parm and this chicken was overcooked and dry. The bread crumbs were soggy and would have been forgiven if the chicken itself wasn't so overcooked and dry!!!! My over all is this. Been to mamas many times before this review and I think they are worth your time (even more so during dinner time!). They do more things right than they ever do it wrong. So I would still recommend going. I just wouldn't recommend it to the New Jersey Chicken parm Facebook page........

The upstairs had a bar and pretty open seating. I didn't interact with the staff too much because it was buffet style but I did to get some drinks and they were very nice. They were originally serving soda and I generally don't drink soda so they were more than happy to get me some Seltzer water. All in all, this is a pretty nice place and the food is pretty good.

This is hands down the most consistent and high quality sushi restaurant that I've encountered in the northern NJ area. I keep coming back, despite a few other great options that are actually closer to me. I tried a very expensive venue on Rt. 10 in Whippany this past week (you can guess which one), but I will always prefer the Island. Fresh rolls with so much variety, you can get lost in the menu. The Monster Symbol Ball and the Tuna Dumplings are just to die for - so much robust flavor. Their standard rolls and sashimi are fantastic, and they will deliver as much wasabi as you request. It's on point and fantastic. The chefs behind the counter are never too busy to give you a nod and a courtesy greeting, and the wait staff are just so pleasant and willing to make your dining experience best it can be. BYO wraps it up, and they are happy to give you beer or wine glasses as needed. Only thing our group didn't care for was a fatty tuna special, and they were so concerned to hear this they offered to take it off our bill. That's customer relations right there! Please try this place! I've been wanting to also try Sushi Ya, but I just cannot bypass Asian Island to do so. It's a real problem. You need to try this place!!!

My friend and I had a nice conversation alone... without the family, friends, and event planning... LOL!
