Salmon Seafood - Jerk
Asia W.

My experience with Mingles was not the greatest. I called in an order on a Friday night for Jerk Salmon, rice and peas, and steamed vegetables. I was told they were out of rice and peas and opted for white rice instead. I get to the restaurant to pay for my order and as I'm waiting I watched the woman pack 2 full containers of rice and peas for another guest. Strike #1. It says on the website that salmon is cooked fresh but I watched the chef take the precooked salmon and place it on the grill for ~3 minutes before boxing it up. Strike #2. I get home to realize there's no steamed vegetables in my box, just a piece of salmon on a bed of rice. Strike #3. I was never told they were out of steamed vegetables or offered another option. Overall I am disappointed in my experience and probably won't be back. ALSO! They promote a $5 off your first order when you download the app yet there is no coupon code and I did not receive an email or anything after signing up. I called to ask how they honor the $5 off and no one working there knew anything about the promotion and said it's through management, who wasn't in at the time.

Signature Shrimp Po Boy

The North Bronx has some of the most amazing Caribbean culinary dives the City has to offer. I have always been a huge fan of any recipe with jerk seasoning whether it's chicken, pork, salmon, shrimp or pasta. One signature menu item and bestseller was the Irie Pasta with Jerk Chicken which is exactly what I ordered... with extra jerk sauce!!!! I may have confused it with Rasta Pasta at first but it's very different; and still just as delicious. For dessert, the red velvet cake...great choice. To stay hydrated, pink lemonade and iced tea...yes, I mean mix them. Super refreshing! I shall be back!!!!

I had a great time at Mingles Lounge one Thursday night at karaoke. I ordered wings and the fried whiting. My aunt got the oxtails. The food was delicious. The fish are small whole whiting. I've never had whiting like that. It was so good I had to come by the take out spot before leaving town. Brought my sister with me. The location is clean and modern. The service was friendly as well. Nothing extra but definitely better than most places in New York. We both ordered the fish. She also ordered the oxtails. I was so disappointed with the fish...Now I've been raving about this crispy fish to my husband, my sister and my mom. I think when you take it to go something happens. There are peppers on top so the juice from the peppers along with the closure of the paper simulates a steaming effect.....the fish was soggy. If I had not had it previously I would have given 2 stars. But because I know how good this fish is I only took one star off. There should be a sign up urging people to eat the fish immediately. Now I know. I will return and I will be eating right there.

The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff along with the chef are producing quality food. At least ones a week I'm in here getting lunch. My favorite Uriel pasta with grilled shrimp

Sweet and Sour Shrimp Rice and Peas
Ashley S.

The food was great. The wait was rather long , very long , butttttt the food was good . The serving size took me two-three days (or I may just have a small intake). The ambiance in the restaurant is beautiful , modern , and quite sheek. For my plate of sweet and sour shrimp and rice an peas there were artificial pineapples ( my guess, dole) , this tell them to lay off the artificial pineapples , please .

Rummy Carrot Cake

You know how music can bring back a memory? Certain meals can do that also. Well, while having Jenny's those Trinidadian flavors brought me back to the good old days of about 15 or so years ago. Damn, it's been a long time! (Eric B. & Rakim just came to mind.) Anyway. Jenny's meal of Jerk Chicken had that extra spiciness just the way I like it. Then there's the order of Stew Chicken. The Trini flavors were prominent in this dish, with that extra gravy melding in nicely into the Rice and Peas and side of mashed pumpkin. Mmm mmm mm!! Plus, can't forget my favorite accompaniment, Buss Up Shut. Setting things off with those fluffy, warm sheets of dough to wrap your meaty sauced stews in. Man, those combos brought me back! They also included Dhalpuri to soak up the order of Boneless Curry Chicken with chunks of potatoes to create your own Roti. Everything was perfect with the exception of one forgivable misstep...the missing Oxtail. We included an order of Oxtail that did not arrive. But the error was quickly remedied within the hour with an email apology and a credit for the cost. High Five on the Customer Service Score! Jenny's Roti Shop gave us a reprieve from the redundant cuisine located in our immediate area. Jenny's will no doubt be on our, 'what's for dinner?!?!?! delivery list.

Rice & Peas & Tings is located toward the rear of the Bronx Terminal Market food court. I wound up here early on a Sunday morning and decided to give them a try. After the warm greeting, I asked if it was too early for stew chicken and was told 'Course not'. I was given a hearty serving of food, with EXTRA GRAVY like I requested. I could have fallen in love right there. I grabbed one of the many available tables, near the Christmas tree, so I could look wistfully out, onto...the highway. While the plate was plentiful, the chicken I received was small boney pieces. If you look, you can see the chicken back in my picture. This is not exactly a complaint (bones are for chewing), but I would have liked to have more actual meat. The chicken itself was also slightly sweeter than my preference, but still very good. Honestly they had me at the extra gravy and could probably do no wrong. The rice and veg were both well cooked and I have no complaints on either. I will definitely return and try different things from the menu (looking at you oxtail).

Saw a large sign boasting, Rice & Peas & Tings, so I strolled over. Behind the counter was this cordial young gentleman who I had a lengthy conversation with. In a part of our conversation he informed me that they recently opened in the Terminal in 2024 and they are eagerly looking forward to sharing their food with the masses. For the undecided, samples are offered to help in any decision making. I didn't accept his offer of samplings, but what better way to entice someone. If you're looking for 'authentic Jamaican food like your Mama and Grandma used to make...', as they quote, stop by Rice & Peas & Tings.

I remember when Fish N' Ting first opened several years ago and I'm pleased to know that this family run establishment is still kicking. I would put it in my top five list for Jamaican restaurants in the city. The menu is wide and varying and accommodating of different diets. If you love jerk chicken, you need to try it here! The jerk chicken lovers in my life can't get enough. My recommended dishes are the whiting (fried) with rice and peas, rasta pasta and now the lobster (which I didn't know they had). The seafood is made to order, fresh and super tasty. I never thought sweet chili and lobster would be a good combo but it totally rocks! It was truly delectable. My only issue is that they charge for gravy if the dish isn't saucy (as if) lol but I get it!

My order took about 25 minutes, but the escovitch snapper was clearly made fresh. The rice and peas with steamed cabbage were flavorful and delicious. The fish had a nice spice, but the escovitch dressing was missing that signature tang--didn't taste like it had any vinegar, which was a little disappointing. Not the best escovitch I've had, but still satisfying overall.

They have a DJ so if you're looking to vibe while enjoying Ghanian food, this could be the spot. It was my first time trying Malt and the best way I can describe it is it tastes like molasses, slightly bitter, slightly yeasty but very mild overall. We started off with the Chicken Suya which was a bit dry and chewy but the suya seasoning made all the difference. It tastes like a blend of chili powder, ginger, garlic, onion powder, paprika, etc. It was a fine starter but definitely skippable. For entrees, we got the Street Waakye and Jollof Queen. I've had waakye (pronounced waa-che) before but this was pretty dry. The spaghetti was light and I actually liked that they used thinner noodles rather than the regular spaghetti. This dish comes with fried fish which was light, flaky, and moist. The real winner was the goat stew. I'm salivating just thinking about it! You get the essence of tomato, the tenderness and slight gamey flavor from the goat, and the thick and luscious sauce that was an explosion of flavors. I even dipped the boiled egg into the sauce which was unbelievably satisfying. The jollof rice from the Jollof Queen was cooked way better than the waakye. It was moist, well-seasoned, and didn't really need anything added to be good. I loved the sweet plantains and the chicken was also well-prepared. Considering how much jollof rice there was and that it was ~$25, they could've given more than 2 pieces of chicken. Overall, it was a pretty good meal! When the bill came, I saw there was an automatic 18% gratuity added which is totally fine considering we were a party of 7. However, they then pointed out that this wasn't tip and was a fee for "the table". I eat out a lot and never in my life have I heard of this. We ended up adding another 10% on top of that. They also charge a 3% credit card fee. I don't agree with them trying to squeeze out more money from customers who are already coming and spending money; this is definitely not the norm anywhere else I've been. Not too many restaurants in NYC serving Ghanaian cuisine but you'll enjoy some traditional dishes here.
