Blessed Tropical Cuisine — Restaurant in Inglewood

This was the best Jamaican food that I've had in a while. The customer service was HORRIBLE! But I wouldn't have it any other way. 😅 I came on a Sunday and I ordered my food and I reached into my wallet to get my debit card and the lady says to me very irate, "we don't take debit cards on Sunday!!!" 😡 I said ok, well I shall return. I see a 7-Eleven in the same shopping center thinking that I'll go to the ATM and get some $$$. She reiterates it again! I said ok, well hold the order then. Then she says to me, "just gimme the card!" 💀 It was almost like your mom wanted to scold you for something she said to you for the 20th time to let you know she means business THIS TIME! The only problem with that is, I had never been in the place in my life. So how would I know of their "no cards on Sunday rules? She was treating me like a regular who already knows the rules or something. And I should know better. Besides, what kinda weird rule is that anyway? No debit cards on a certain day of the week? 🤔

Anyway, I ordered the oxtails and the curry chicken. The oxtails were 🔥🔥🔥! Right amount of tenderness. Wasn't tough like I've had at other places. The curry chicken was a lil spicy tho! I always thought jerk chicken was spicy. Hence I order the curry. I've never had the curry so spicy before. The peas and rice was on point. As was the vegetables. Mainly cabbage and carrots. The only major food complaint was the plantains you could tell had been sitting there for a min. Lil overcooked. But I'm not a plantain fan so that didn't bother me.

Oh yeah, it was a very warm day out and it was VERY WARM in the restaurant too. It was 90+ on the official last day of summer and they didn't have the AC on. They just had a fan blowing hot air around. But again, I'm perfectly fine with eating in the car with my AC.

As you can see, everything wasn't PERFECT! But no situation is. I see people who have one lil, small thing that happens and they rate a business below a 5 star and that hurts the business. There was a couple of things that I could complain about but at the end of the day I show up for food! AC is a plus and customer service is a plus. And the food was very good!

Pros: food (minus plantains), wait time Cons: customer...

5 months ago I said this place was one of the BEST Caribbean food restaurant, hands down! Clean & service is great. Feels like a home away from home!

My how things have changed! The main cook who was usually there cooked great. Since he hasn't been there and other people are cooking, it is a major difference.

Today I ordered the small short ribs (which I've never ordered but wanted to try) then ordered my usual Large oxtail plate. As I approached the window I saw an oxtail plate being prepared that looked okay and presentable the when I approached the cash register to pay it was an entirely different plate.

The plate was filled with pure bone and fatty liquid. True dem think seh I was a Yankee (American) they gave me the worse plate. It was so disgusting. When I brought it to their attention that the plate was not pleasing, the young lady showed the plate to another gentleman which I know and another guy that was there. They both looked in shock then agreed with the woman anyway and said " oh its just falling off the bone". I'm a cook so I know different. Instead of showing out, I paid nearly $50 for the two plates and told them I would not be returning.

This is disgusting and I won't return here. The amount of business that I have brought them from the Forum and SoFi is incredible to have been treated this way. I'm done and will no longer support this business.

*Picture taken less than 5 minutes from ordering and looks as if it needs to be warmed up. So...
