Excellent flavors! I first tried their beef patties about 20 years ago when I worked at the VA in…read moreEast Orange. The canteen sold them and I was instantly impressed. About 15 years later, they opened a spot just a mile from my house. At first, they had some growing pains so I ghosted for a few years. Recently, a friend told me they'd eaten there and liked it, so I figured why not?! For lunch, hubs and I shared a Spicy Beef Patty, a Curry Chicken Patty, and a Curry Goat Roti. Everything came out tasty, hot, and fresh, especially the roti, which came in a clamshell container. The roti was flaky and comforting, kind of like a Jamaican take on a chicken pot pie but with way more personality. Inside, the curry goat was ridiculously good. It had slow-cooked depth, tender meat, potatoes, and carrots and a layered sauce that tasted like turmeric, other warm spices, and a touch of smoke. It was fucking delicious! While there were a lot of bones (it's goat, after all), there was still a ton of meat and it fed me twice. This place is fast casual. You might have to wait up to twenty minutes for some dishes, but that time buys you flavor. I'm officially back on board. That curry goat roti? The real GOAT: Greatest of All Taste. ;) I'm already planning what to try next. Long live Jamaica! ONE LOVE. NOTES/TIPS: **Shared plaza parking lot with high turnover. Easy. **Wheelchair-accessible: bathroom, parking, entrance, seating area. Ramp. **On Yelp, Door Dash, GrubHub, UberEats, Seamless. **Eat-in or take out. **D&G Root Beer is a must!

They also have dumpling, boiled banana and fried dumpling as well if that's what you want. I've also seen them carry okra and saltfish I believe but I'm not a fan of okra. The ackee and saltfish is amongst my favorite. Right alongside the callaloo and saltfish. They give nice size portions for the price and it's delicious. Not too salty. And it I is a little oily but not a lot. There are also small small bones in some of the pcs of saltfish as well. Overall, every chance I get to eat this from here I do! Give it a try.

The Oxtail was so full of flavor and tender, the Saltfish was perfect: not too salty nor bland, the fried rice was delicious. Donna is the chef and she did an exceptional job!

I bumped into this spot on a whim cuz the wife was in the mood for yams after scrolling and seeing…read morea few soul food posts. So I decided to venture here since it was closest in the area at the time. The inside was cozy and quaint, I took my food to go but had to wait a bit even though I ordered ahead, but dude DID say it would take 25-30 min for my order. Polite young man I should add. I don't mind the wait cause I could hear the fryer heavy at work in the back, and I've learned not to rush the process. I will say for it to be a soul food spot, I would've expected a bit more of variety besides fish and wings. I also hate that they were out of a lot of stuff, from whiting to collard greens, and while I'm waiting I overheard dude tell another customer they were out of Mac & cheese. Soooo.. fingers crossed on how this meal goes.. Sure enough... They messed up the order... I ordered double mac and unfortunately, since they're out of it, there's nothing that can be done ... Not to mention, they forgot to give me my shrimp so I had to turn around for that .. hopefully the food is good, again fingers crossed.. I'll update shortly when I get back to the crib Ok, let's get to the food, cause that's the main reason we're here... Yams - 10.. These were clearly the star of the meal!! they were cooked down to perfection, with a beautiful sweet glaze, and I have zero complaints at all!! Wings - 8.. I got the Thai chili wings, which were good and fried well, and nice size wings, I just expected a little bit of spice. But again no complaints. I'd order them again. I had one of My Son's honey barbecue wings, and those were pretty good too. Mac - best of MID! The Mac wasn't bad. The problem is, there was no successful marriage between the macaroni noodles and the cheese itself. There were several times where I would have a fork full of cheese and two noodles, which was a pretty unpleasant bite. Yes I love cheesy mac & cheese for sure, but I like it to be GELLED together in Harmony This seemed like they took chunks of cheese and mixed it into the boiled macaroni and baked it. Again, it didn't taste bad, the ingredients just didn't merge. Shrimp - 9. I'm glad I turned around to get these shrimp that they initially forgot. But shrimp were very nice sized, plump, seasoned very well and crisp but not over fried. Great job here, no complaints at all. I actually am looking forward to having their shrimp again next time I come. Overall, I enjoyed the food. And unfortunately, Yelp doesn't give half stars. But I would be remiss to give them a three, being that these were just human errors and that's OK in my opinion. As I said, the young man was very polite that helped me with my order, and again the food was very good. So yes, I hated that my order wasn't accurate, but they did their best to rectify it and served good food. That said, I'll definitely come back and suggest this spot to others.

After trying to decide between a handful of places, I decided on Monai's mostly because I saw they have a parking lot and I just simply wasn't in the mood to be searching around for street parking that day. When I arrived, I asked for a menu and after looking it over, I decided on the sweet chili wings with mac & cheese and green beans. I was told the wait would be 20-25 minutes. It did take a little bit longer than that. It was probably more like 30-35 minutes. I sat at one of the empty tables while I waited. They had a good playlist of r&b music playing which made the wait a little more favorable. Once my food was ready, I took my food to go. My favorite part of my meal was the chicken wings. They were cooked and seasoned well. The sweet chili sauce was the icing on the cake. The sides were just okay to me. The mac & cheese could use a little more of something...maybe a little touch of salt or seasoning. The green beans were nothing special and tasted like they came from a can. The sides weren't terrible or inedible, but could use a little more of something. With that being said, it was good enough that I'd return. I would like try some of their other entrees.

I ordered the jerk salmon with a side of cabbage and Rasta pasta and let me tell you it was chefs kiss. I tore my food up it was so good. The salmon was seasoned exceptionally well and the pasta was great , I tried the cabbage first and it was so good I ate it all before diving into the rest of my meal. My daughter got jerk chicken and Rasta pasta and my Dad got jerk chicken with rice and peas. My daughter lovesld her food with no complaints and my Dad enjoyed his jerk chicken the most noting , the rice was dry but the jerk sauce from the chicken helped. If you are getting the rice ask for sauce on the rice to help with the dryness. Also the portion sizes were very generous, they had left overs and we ordered a medium. I will definitely get this again and the next time I'm in town I will go in person! I have to see where such great food came from!
